Aksys announces Otome-localizations (Bad Apple Wars, Code Realize fan-disc, Collar x Malice, and Period Cube)

[Sora9427 1,390]

Yes, they are primarily for girls but they are quite similar to the "normal" harem-VNs where you are in control of a guy.

 

Well Similar just for the Kind of game; i wish to Guide a Guy and "Conquer" Different wonderful Girls than have to be a girl and see onyl mens for the rest of the stories and Maybe 1-2 Secondary females characters

Yessss, more VN for the win! Can't wait for these (:

[Asvinia 621]

I'm not sure how I feel about Code: Realise, I mean.. I'm really enjoying it for what it is atm. I like that the romance is part of a bigger story and not the entire plot being about the romance.

Part of me would like to leave the endings as they are and not spoil it for myself.. and it seems the 'fan disc' will revolve entirely around the romance but.. I must have more Victor.

[Rantaro 4,136]

I'm going to buy all of these when they come out. Code: Realise has made it on my favorite VN list!

[tsuki_-no-_usagi 185]

I want them all.

I wish aksys would localize some galge too, haven't really gotten any here in the west, not counting the erotic ones that get localized on pcs. More vita games are always good though

I still don't really understand the reasoning behind pushing otome...

I mean, with respect to all fujoshi, I really don't think they are prevalent Vita owners category =D

Probably for the ame reason one of the 2 Italian Anime Editors take here that kind of anime, it costs less as Right Than a Galge/Ecchi....

Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~ will release Spring 2017 in NA & EU for Vita! More info here- http://aksysgames.com/pcube/

https://twitter.com/aksysgames/status/800762389163450368

No info if the game will get a physical or will be download-only. But assuming it's Aksys it will get a physical release, at least for NA.

[Sora9427 1,390]

Ah yeah, saw this news Yesterday on Twitter and by the images the Games looks interesting but if it's an Otome and not Rpg well it goes in Third place not even second

[Crimson Idol 3,342]

Aksys more or less confirmed the next release window for one of the Otome-games:

Quote

Collar X Malice will launch both physically and digitally for PS Vita in North America and Europe this summer, publisher Aksys Games announced.

I'm surprised that they are aiming for a physical release in Europe. Hope this is not a mistake.

Nah, it's definitely...

Both physically and digitally for PS Vita in North America. Oh and btw, we are releasing it in Europe as well.

 

It's Aksys =/

[Sora9427 1,390]

I guess they'll Make a Release evey 3 months so something like April/June/Septmber/November? I dont' really know and i'm not really interested in none of this games, give me Girls  

 

I'm surprised AT ALL of a Retail version even just in the NA honestly!

That's the main problem. I really like the fact that they helped bringing some games over to the west but their lack of communication regarding whether Europe gets a physical release or will be treated with overpriced (and/or delayed) downloads only (Gulity Gear Xrd, XBlaze-games, Nonary Games for Vita) is annoying.

[Edunstar84 2,591]

Awesome news! Might wait for a sale though. Some of the VNs' when they first came out were too pricey for me.

On the other hand, importing pretty much comes to the same price as buying the EU version

Collar x Malice looks rather interesting. I've played only one otome game before (Code: Realize) which was pretty good, but the lack of gameplay and overly long text portions made me snooze.

The publisher advertises Collar x Malice has "massive amounts of gameplay". Any idea what kind of gameplay elements they mean? Using detective skills sounds good anyhow. I may get the game on sale sometime.

[Crimson Idol 3,342]

Oh well, seems like the thing that Collar x Malice gets a physical release in Europe was a false rumor after all, although they even said so in their own news:

http://www.aksysgames.com/2017/04/25/collar-x-malice-is-coming-to-ps-vita-summer-2017/

GG Aksys. Again you show how much you care about Europe.

I wonder if the download, which will release on Friday, will be overpriced, again. IIRC they charge 50 EUR for Period Cube, whereas the price is normally 40 EUR.

 

Nonetheless, my VGP.ca-order just shipped...

Well, that's Aksys for you... 

[KittiBear 318]

I found Period Cube super disappointing... I'm hoping Collar x Malice will be much better! I love VNs, they're so relaxing and easy to play during my daily commute. Need more

And seems like it's for real (someone linked this):

Seems to be a similar case to Tokyo Xanadu. THere's an EU-retail but only some UK-retailers have it, all others only have the US-release. Srsly Aksys, get your shit together.

[Satoshi Ookami 13,095]

Aksys rules once again, heh... =D

Well, VGP is better alternative anyway.
