Unboxing: Shuuen no Virche ErroR: salvation - Animate Limited Set

Shuuen no Virche has been one of my most anticipated otome games for 2021, especially with the way Otomate has been heavily promoting it, so I decided to splurge and buy the Animate set! (｡´∀｀) I was very excited when it arrived a day early (and while I was in class remotely lmao), and it took all my willpower to not just tear into the box www. 

Cupid Parasite: English Comparisons Between the Localized and Japanese Openings

Once I was done yelling over the Cupid Parasite localization announcement by Idea Factory International back in July, I realized they had actually made quite a few changes to the opening movie... especially that "Love Cupid" nonsense. 😂 Plus there's a lot more natural English in general throughout.

So like the true Virgo I am, I made a thread about the English between the localized and Japanese versions of the OP, because comparing them was fun LOL. 

I actually posted a thread of this back in July on Twitter, but I figured I should probably put it here too~

All images on the bottom are the localized version, while all images on the top are the original Japanese version. Click images to enlarge further.

Kamiaso and Korosuto Switch Ports Announced!

Happy almost 8th anniversary to Kamigami no Asobi (aka Kamiaso) and almost 3rd anniversary to Koroshiya to Strawberry (aka Korosuto)! 🥳

After cryptically posting a lot of "Coming Soon" posts for both series on their Twitter accounts, Broccoli announced Switch ports for both Kamiaso and Korosuto! The new games will be titled Kamigami no Asobi Unite Edition and Koroshiya to Strawberry Plus respectively. 

Kamiaso Unite Edition (rated Cero D) will be a 2-in-1 port that includes both PSP game Ludere Deorum and the PSP/Vita game InFinite. The content of the games will remain the same, but of course now you get to view in higher resolution~

Korosuto Plus (Cero rating TBA) will have a new voiced episode that takes place after the main story's love ending.

Surprisingly, Broccoli already has release dates for them, with Kamiaso to release on January 27, 2022 and Korosuto to release on February 23, 2022! 

For those interested in the coming soon posts, you can find them here:

Kamiaso - [1], [2], [3]

Korosuto - [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]

Until next time~

P.S. The full cover art for Kamiaso Unite Edition is really pretty!

P.P.S. For April Fools, the heroines were put into each other's games. 🤭

BUSTAFELLOWS Collector's Edition [Eng] Unboxing

The English version of BUSTAFELLOWS is set to release on July 30th, but the Collector's Edition came home early I'm so happy!!!! 🥰

Since PQube collaborated with Funstock, the Collector's Edition shipped from the UK. I've never had something shipped from there so I'm very thankful Funstock didn't charge outrageous shipping, and it's an amusing experience to see French on the back of my game instead of Spanish haha.

But without further ado, here's the contents of this lovely Collector's Edition!

2020 Gaming Roundup & Awards / 7th Year Anniversary

This is the most amount of games I've played in a single year since... ever lmao. Thanks quarantine! (So apologies in advance now for all the images)

It's amazing to think that I've been (sorta) lurking here and on Twitter for 7 years now lmao. I always see other reviewers doing roundup and/or awards, so I decided to join in on the fun with my own version.  (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑✧

Café Enchanté and Piofiore [Eng] Available for Preorder

Café Enchanté | Piofiore

As of May 14th, both of Aksys's latest titles Café Enchanté (aka Gensou Kissa Enchante) and Piofiore Fated Memories (aka Piofiore no Banshou) are available for preorder on their US store. Both are priced at $49.99, and neither have a set release date yet other than "Fall 2020." It's also unknown at the moment if there'll be any sort of limited edition.

Piofiore is a Vita port while Café Enchanté is an original Switch game. Both games look very promising, so it's exciting that they're being localized! ヽ(｡ゝω・｡)ﾉ

If I had to pick out the two, I think I'm a little more interested in Café Enchanté. Mafia-themed media isn't exactly new haha but who knows where the game will go.

As a side note/rant... What's up with the localized name for Piofiore? The original title is ピオフィオーレの晩鐘, which can be translated as (The) Evening Bell of Piofiore / Piofiore's Evening Bell. But Aksys decided to add in a "Fated Memories"... huh??

Until next time~!

Heave Ho (Switch) Review

Release: August 29, 2019

Heave Ho: The game where you're allowed - and encouraged - to yeet your friends to victory!

Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customize your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accouterment in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.

Summary from Nintendo 

If you're looking for a new multiplayer game to play with friends then you should pick up a copy of Heave Ho, available for Switch and PC. I played it recently on Switch with some friends for a few hours and it was a blast! The game can support up to 4 players, although I'd recommend at least 3 to get some great shenanigans.
