Otome & BL news 21/8

The new Arcana famiglia spin-off mini game website opened.

Confidential Money got new CGs and so did Diabolik Lovers.

Voice samples and more information about the Quinrose game 24 ji no Kane to Cinderella Halloween Wedding.  I have to admit that I had zero interest in the game before but after playing Oumagatoki and seeing the cast I really want to buy this  (*´・ｖ・)

FD for VitaminZ teaser site has been published.

Seems like Otomate took inspiration from the Fate/ series because their newest game is Princess Arthur. Trailer looks good even though I can't ignore how similar Lancelot looks to the Fate/ interpretation.

Another newly announced title from Otomate is NORN9. The wikipedia article and trailer hints that there will be three heroines. I'm a sucker for Nordic mythology so this is right up my alley.

OZMAFIA finally updated and added voice samples to some of the characters.

CG update for Love is not bound by any rules! This game looks so good, I can't wait to get it! (*°∀°)=3

Yaoi game Taisho Mebiusline got a release date: December 21st. Let's hope they don't postpone it anymore.

Fandisk Omerta: Code TYCOON teaser website opened.

Upcoming 18+ otome game Koezaru ha Akai Hana released a trial version. The game will be released next month.

Glass Heart Princess will be in stores 11/29.

The new Amnesia game got it own website. Shin as the protagonist this time?

I'm guessing the Arabians Lost remake sold pretty good because now a sequel/FD is coming. The new installment is called Arabians Doubt and will be available next year.

Witch's Garden is one of the first games uses a new technique called E-mote which makes the characters look animated and much more alive. (Sample can be seen here)
Will all visual novels looks like this is the future? I certainly wouldn't mind. Hopefully some company will try this out on otome games too. Otomate maybe?

More information about upcoming games and drama CDs DoubleScore.

I actually didn't know before but the heroine for upcoming Otomate game Genroh is only 12 years old! As expected it's rated Cero B and I expect they won't even have any romantic implication or otherwise we will all be going to jail ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ

The butterfly game series from popular drama CDs creators  Black Butterfly will not only include one guy per game, but also a teasing guy who tries to charm you. Sounds like a perfect set up for a love triangle.

Otome & Bl news 12/6

One of my favorite BL games Omerta ~Chinmoku no Okite~ is getting a fandisk!

Black Butterfly advances from CDs to otome games. They got 3 upcoming games in a series called Dousei Kareshi. There will be one game for each guy. I'm guessing they will either be really cheap otherwise they better be really long with lots of content.

Tsubasa no Oka no Hime - A Red and Blue Moon -finite loop- is giving out an artbook with the stunning pictures from the game.

Hana Awase website open.

Glass Heart Princess release date is November this year. They also updated the character and gallery section.

Wand of Fortune 2 FD added more information on the site. Lulu looks as cute as ever.

New BL game from a company called Easy-Peasy. It's about a god who can change his age and is going to grant someone a wish/power (I think?). The game will be released in 2 discs for the PC.

Operetta's new 18+ otome game Koezaru ha Akai Hana put up CGs and character profile some time ago.

Here is the PV for Little Cheese game Trick or Alice. At first I thought it looked pretty nice and the music sounds like an opening for a drama but I got a bit scared when everybody starts screaming towards the ending. That last sentence is just.... (；゜Д゜)

Hope all of you have an awesome summer! 

Otome & BL news 11/2

Popular mafia game Arcana Famiglia is getting an anime adaption by J.C Staff.  While I was happy at first I'm also very worried since J.C Staff isn't exactly known for producing good anime these days. Hopefully this will be an exception.

Looking forward to Diabolik Lovers? I bet you do! Luckily, Ilinox have translated the first two Drama CDs to English so we all can enjoy them while we wait for the game. Check out the scripts here

Might be a bit old but voice samples are up for Atelier Elkrone. I'm getting pretty hyped up about the game (I'm a big fan of the Atelier PS3 series) and Meriel sounds really cute.

New Otomate games L.G.S and Toki no Kizuna (which I wrote about here) launched their official websites.

A secret collab project between Black Butterfly (famous for the Shukan Soine series) and HoneyBee. I'm guessing we will be getting some new Starry Sky drama CDs with dummy mic?

OZMAFIA updated their site with opening song, which is fully in English and some sketches of CGs to come.

Black Wolves Saga ~Last Hope~ also got updates recently. The music for this game is just going to be amazing, I tell ya.

Official UtaPri hugging pillows coming soon.

The Miyako FD will be released April 19th.

A bit older news, but for those who missed it Arabians Lost is getting a remake. Check out the new site here.

New Lucky Dog 1 game I'll even destroy the world, if it's for Gian's sake website opened about a month ago. There are wallpapers and other goodies on the site.

That is all for now! Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been having a hard time getting into games for some reason (´・ω・`) Hopefully I'll be back on track soon!

Otome & BL news 25/10

 Games
 Koisentai LOVE & PEACE was recently updated and aside from the superhero theme, the main characters are all power rangers. Will it beat Hotokenser or end up being a cheap copy?

Hanaoni ~Yume no Tsuzuki~ Fandisc and a new game called Issyo ni gohan announced by Otomate. The last mentioned is adapted from a Drama CD about a bunch of guys running a apartment dinner show (I think?). The guys all look pretty nice and it's nice to have a change from the regular school-themed visual novels. Plus, I love cooking!

Getting ported to PSP is Moujuutsukai to Ouji-sama ~Snow Bride~. I loved the first game and read the beginning of Snow Bride, so I'm really looking forward to see what they add in the port.

Karin Entertainment opened a new "mystery site", currently under construction. News have leaked and apparently it's a Sherlock Holmes otome game for PSP! Right now it's under the name Eikoku tantei mysteria (The British detective mystery) but I'm not sure if it's the official name or not. The heroine, Emily, is ridiculous cute and the black haired man is confirmed to be Holmes Jr.  Watson looks really handsome too and I love the suspenders and the bag over the shoulder. I'm getting way too excited about this orz . Check out the site here.

Following the detective theme is a spin-off game of the popular VitaminX series. VitaminX Detective B6 will be out for PSP sometime during 2012.

Quinrose is as usual making new games at a frightening pace, and this week they announced yet another fairytale-themed game. Cinderella when the clock hits 12 ~Halloween Wedding~ (Unsure how to translate the title. Cinderella at midnight (12 o'clock) might be more correct) is the classic story with a halloween twist to it. To be released in 2012.

OZMAFIA announced another new character in this month B's LOG who became an instant favorite of mine. He is a purple haired cat-eared knight-like character with ponytail and a tsundere/easily embarrassed to boot! I think his name is Aen (Aien? Ein?). Either way, I'm sure they add him to the website soon.

A big double spread with characters made by the artist from Kuro to Kin no Hirakanai Kagi (Shiraha Makamome) was also included in the magazine. It doesn't say anything except "Hana Awase". Little Cheese haven't any information so I guess we just have to wait and see. The picture features 2 siblings, both beautiful drawn, even if the girl reminds me of Kuro to Kin's heroine except with short hair. Very gothic and dark theme once again.

I haven't been so interested in the soon to be released Miss Princess for DS, but after reading the article and watching the trailer, I'm kind of curious. The game got some cute mini-games like playing piano and horseback riding. The story is about a tomboy trying to win a model competition called "Miss Princess". If you feel like playing something super-sugary and so cliché it makes you laugh (in a positive way) I'd say this is your game.

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story is getting ported to PSP with the word "Premium" added in the title.

Merchandise
Finally arriving in stores is these sexy Togainu no Chi figures. Akira sure looks sexy with his rough look and low pants while Shiki always pulls off an elegant and dangerous vibe. Hurry up and pre-order before they are gone!

Want to show off how much you love UtaPri? These super cute chibi rubber straps are now up for pre-order. I actually put an order myself, hoping to get either Otoya or Masa orz

Harada Sanosuke from Hakuouki is getting a 1/10 figure. You can see sneak peak pictures here. Love all the details!

Wand of Fortune 2 is getting a Drama CD with new scenarios next month. As expected, the cover art is absolutely stunning.

Tomorrow is the release date of the first pre-song CD feauturing new characters from UtaPri Debut! I'm really looking forward to both Utapri Music and Debut so I'm hoping they won't let me down~

I also want to apologize for not writing any proper reviews lately. I've been listening to a lot of Drama CDs and reading manga instead (Remember to stay away from Yandere Heaven if you want to be able to sleep =_=). On the game front I've been re-playing UtaPri and getting all the normal endings with the guys.
