Namco Bandai released a new teaser for Summon Night 5 and notes the game will be available for PSP in spring 2013. Summon Night 5 is the first new entry in the series and since Flight Plan is no more Felistella is handling the title.
In the years since Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom made its English debut in 2012, otome games have enjoyed a surge of popularity worldwide. The genre went from an unknown to one that received multiple releases on various platforms each year. Sony handhelds have long been a haven for such titles, with people who own a Vita enjoying the fruits of this bevy of releases.
As it turns out, once something has a little care devoted to its design that changes it from “fun extra” into “collectible”, which can be a bit of a problem if the post office has treated it like any other package.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Otome games are great, but many of the titles getting localized are visual novels. While reading is also pretty amazing, sometimes you don’t want to spend your time reading thousands of words on route to romancing a digital dude. Sometimes, you want a little more stimulation while searching for the (virtual) one.
Fortunately for you, there are plenty of otome games out there that aren’t visual novels."
