Atelier Elkrone ~Dear for Otomate~ (PSP)

[Sakura Shimizu]

On the second link you posted, near the end of the article.

As far as I can tell that's a different game. The info for Atelier Elkrone ends at the picture, because 「うたのプリンスさまっ Debut」 is a whole different game.

It case anyone cares, the second game is 'Uta no Prince-Sama: Debut' which is for the PSP and comes out in Japan on 3/22/2012. I dunno if anyone already said this, I'm kinda too lazy to check all of the pages. :/

But I would like see this game come to the US too. (And Uta*Pri: Debut if at all possible. ^.^)

EDIT: No one mentioned it. Yeah, I checked to make sure. XD

I hope NISA localizes this!

Yeah lets hope Aksys do well promoting otome games on West with Hakuouki

There's still nothing new about the gameplay, but a bunch of new event pictures... which look totally adorable.

I don't know about this game. I'm just very iffy on otome games, but I would support this game. It looks like a good game anyways.

I honestly feel bad that Aksys released that game. I doubt it did that well. If anything, the profits they made off 999 probably ended up balancing the failings this game probably had. It was a good gesture ds from them to do the deed, and I respect very much that they went through with it, but...with feedback that cold, I can understand why they didn't go after the 360 version (or any of their early 360 ds games) next.

Personally, I get the feeling that IF's titles probably have dirt cheap licenses and that's why a lot of them get picked up. Publishers can do better, but when they need a game to do, they look to IF. I wouldn't be surprised if Aksys' otome game turned out to be Scarlet Fragment on the DS. I'd hope they'd go for better, but it wouldn't shock me at all.

Also, let's just say that a little birdy perched on my shoulder one time and whispered into my ear that the quality (or lack thereof) in a lot of Idea Factory titles is causing a fair amount of frustration for multiple parties. Their stuff is not a sure bet by any means.

Yes to this!

I really hope Hakuoki does well so someone will bring this out of Japan.

[Sakurahime]

I'm so in love with the art of this game and would love to see it localized. I know that the Hakuouki PSP otome game was the number one selling psp game this week. I have loved the Arland series so I am hoping Hakuoki does well enough for NIS America to consider bringing Elkrone over.

A month or two.

Hard to say if Gust was more focusing on Ciel no Surge. Plus also hard to say if Gust is working on another Atelier spin-off game or if they're going to create a new saga in the main Atelier series that comes after the Arland saga.

So, we'll just have to wait and see.
