It seems like so little time has passed since the release of Code: Realize gave a new otome title to a normally ignored Western audience… probably because it really has been only a few weeks! But, it seems Aksys isn’t content with just offering one otome visual novel for the holiday rush and just released Norn9: Var Commons for PlayStation Vita just last week. Given the rush of triple A products and a growing number of of visual novels alike, it’s hard for Norn9 to stand out amongst the slew of releases and even fails to stand its ground against its limited, direct otome competition.
Aksys Games just hosted its panel at Anime Expo, and had a lot of news about upcoming games and localizations.
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.
"Amazon has added new game deals for this weekend. Deals are Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below $30, Rise of the Tomb Raider $35, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition $32, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition $20 and lots more!"
Okay I'm going to click your link. But be warned if it's just a sale on gaming headphones I'll become physically violent.
