Holiday Backlogs

Published on by Kitty-chloLeave a comment

Happy Holidays dear readers and otome gamers whose happened to pass by this blog! ^^ It may look like I’ve gone into a major hiatus, as I haven’t posted anything for a while but I assure you, I wasn’t. (laughs) The seasonal holiday stress just took its toll on me that I had paused all kinds of gaming activities recently (So I can get a couple of work done).

29c
SIGH…

(´･ᴗ･ ` ) Anyway, I wanted to make a quick update on my backlogs, as well as my gaming schedule for the remaining days of 2018.

 

DECEMBER BACKLOGS (Otome)

Currently Playing:

  • London Detective Mysteria (PSVita)

Paused:

  • The Men of Yoshiwara: Oghiya (NSwitch)
  • Destiny Princess (NSwitch)
  • Pub Encounters (NSwitch)
  • The Amazing Shinsengumi (NSwitch)

 

Reviews In Progress

  • NORN9 Var Commons – I’m about 75% done with this review
  • London Detective Mysteria

 

Site Updates and Otome News

  • I’ve recently revised my review for Amnesia Memories, well, actually the review stays the same, I just added some pictures to make it look more decent.lol  Because Amnesia was the first ever review I’ve written in this blog, I literally power typed everything that time, so you’ve probably wondered why its the only post that doesn’t have any game screenshots on. Haaah, (-ω-、)
  • London Detective Mysteria will release in two days! ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ﾉ This release date is only confirmed for the PS Vita Console (digital copy only), the release date for the game’s PC version hasn’t been decided yet. Expect walkthroughs and review posts soon! Jack, I’m coming for you! uwu
  • Nightshade for the Switch will also release in four days! The game is only available digitally in NA, EU and AU region. I’ve ordered my physical copy online so I won’t be getting the game until perhaps early January because shipping (from JP to US) usually takes two weeks (or more). Which works perfectly for me since this waiting period will give me enough time to finish Mysteria and more time unlocking characters in Smash!haha

I guess, this about sums up my entire gaming schedule for the remaining days of this year. Everyone, I hope ya’ll have a Merry Christmas! Let’s spend our last days for this year filled with lots and lots of gorgeous 2D men and exhilarating otome adventures!

Nightshade fans! It’s finally here! The Switch port we’ve all been waiting for!

To those who didn’t know, Nightshade (localized version) was initially released last April 12, 2017 for PC (Steam) platform in North America, Europe and Australia. Perhaps, due to the big Visual Novel Console move from the PS Vita to the Nintendo Switch – D3 Publisher has finally decided to release a Switch port for this game.

This game is also available in the PS Vita Console (Japanese only).

Finally! A Switch Otome game that’s worth every penny!  (chuckles) image

STORY:
During the Sengoku Period the two main factions of ninja clans, Iga and Kōga, warred against each other for decades.
In the year 1593, Nobunaga Oda started the Tenshō Iga war, decimating most of the Iga ninjas in the process.
The very few that survived were absorbed into the Kōga clan, despite their past rivalries.

After 17 years the Sengoku Period finally came to an end, and Japan was unified.

Enju (Protagonist), daughter of Kandō Ueno, the Head of the Kōga clan, spends her days training diligently in hope of becoming a full-fledged ninja like her peers.

At long last she is assigned to her first mission, but finds herself caught in a dark conspiracy――.

You work at a flower shop and you spend everyday working hard at your job.
Then one night, in the park you always go to, there is an odd-eyed black cat. It curses you so that only at night-time you get turned into a cat.
There is only one way to break the curse.

―A kiss from the person you truly love.
In order to break the curse, everyday as a human, and every night as a cat, you put forth all your efforts.

The game’s english patch was originally scheduled for late October, but because of some delays, they’ve decided to release the game’s localized version on a later time. Hopefully this delay happened due to some intense proof reading  of the game by a native speaker! *chuckles*

She is quite excited about starting her new school life, but she stumbles upon a secret night club that is being operated after school hours, and gets herself roped into working the kitchen…

As she grows closer to the other waitstaff of the night club, she learns of their past, and finds herself becoming more and more involved in a complicated web of human relationships and romance…

 

VOICED? YES

Voice Actors includes fan favorite: Yuuichirou Umehara, Kousuke Toriumi, KENN and Kensho Ono.

I bought the mobile version of Gakuen Club last year in iTunes and although I enjoyed it’s art, music and outstanding VA’s, the story was pretty dull and boring so I never really got a chance to finish the entire game (only bought and finished Sakai’s route). I’m buying this game again for my Switch and hopefully finish all the routes this time but I won’t be expecting too much plot wise, ha! you shouldn’t either. lol

 

More Upcoming Nintendo Switch Otome Games from OperaHouse to look out for (These games are either announced or released in Nintendo Eshop Japan):

  • Vinculum Hearts
  • Nyabara ~How to find my love~ (this one’s interesting since the MC turns into a cat! nyan.)
  • Spiral Memoria

Code Realize Wintertide Miracles Localization Confirmed

Published on by Kitty-chlo2 Comments

coderealize

A few hours ago, Aksys Games confirmed the localization for Code Realize Wintertide Miracles during their panel in Anime Expo 2018. This is really good news of CR fans like me who’s been dying to marry Van Helsing forever like, I’m so down with that! lmao

However I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that there was only one otome title announced this year. I am pretty sure most otoge fans like myself were anticipating titles like the latest FD Collar x Malice Unlimited or at least new games like Piofiore No Banchou or Charade Maniacs (those were some of the many titles in my wishlist).

Aksys Games has also stated that Code Realize will probably be one of the last physical PSVita games in the US. Does this mean going forward, they’ll be releasing games (particularly VNs) on new consoles instead (maybe PS4 & Nintendo Switch)?

Below are some of the non otome titles they have announced during earlier’s panel:
