I felt like sharing some upcoming games this year that I'm happily awaiting since there were some nice previews available on the websites. They're all otome games and include the new Kaikan Phrase, PoT game and Karin's upcoming title based off the Grimm fairy tales.
But I'm too lazy to hide it all behind a cut so... sorry for ruining everyone's friend's page~!

堕天使の甘い誘惑 × 快感フレーズRomaji Title: Datenshi no Amai Yuuwake x Kaikan Phrase
Release Date: 2.18.2010
Developer: FuRyu
Platform: Nintendo DS
Finally! A Sensual Phrase game! I was so obsessed with this series like three or four years ago. It was one of the first manga series to compel me to buy a Japanese CD. (Even though it was technically the band from the anime and not a drama CD...) But I'm excited to see what it turns out to be like knowing the story and all. Though it seems it'll veer away from it. Gosh, it's been so long I can hardly remember the characters anymore... *needs to go back and re-read/watch* You know, it's one of those anime that's so old they had to rip the episodes from VHS! XD
Title:
絶対迷宮グリムRomaji Title: Zettai Meikyuu Grimm
Release Date: 4.28.2010
Developer: Karin Entertainment
Platform: Playstation Portable
I've been patiently waiting for the site to release new stuff... and I got what I asked for! And I even took another gander at the characters and realized the frog prince's true form is up now. Haha, Kishio I can't wait to hear you like that. XD Anyway, I'm looking forward to this as I do all Karin games. They save me reading and patience since the heroine's are their own characters and have voices and all that... @ @ But I'm curious how this will play out with some of the Grimm fairy tale stuff going on. With characters drawn that cutely it won't go the route of Animamundi but I wonder if it'll be darker, or just as dark as Maria and Princess Nightmare.
Title:
テニスの王子様 もっと学園祭の王子様 - More Sweet Edition - Romaji Title: Tennis no Ouji-sama Motto Gakuensai no Ouji-sama ~More Sweet Edition~
Release Date: 2.11.2010
Developer: Konami
Platform: Nintendo DS
The official website has some preview movies but I didn't feel like trying to get them since it just wasn't worth the effort. There's also three mini demos available with more to be unlocked as the game's release comes closer. It's basically the same sort of engine working with the Tokimeki series except with PoT so it shouldn't be too new or menacing to players. They even went so far as to lip-sync the sprites, at least in the demo anyway. If they do throughout the whole game than it's no surprise the release date was moved back. There's also name recognition like the Tokimeki series once more. I happily await the release and chance to go after the silly tennis boys~ *can't play PS2 games so has to compensate!*
