According to a recent Newtype USA article, it seems that Koei has stated that they will release their anime-style dating sims for the Playstation 2 in English if they can find enough support.
The series in question is Angelique, one of Japan’s most popular romance game series. A petition for the game has started up in an attempt to persuade Koei (there was another petition for the series that got 1000+ signatures but the owner of it disappeared…).
I don’t know where petitions stand in the rules for this forum, but I’d appreciate it if you’d sign the petition and tell people about it: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/AngeliquePS2
It could be a good opportunity to finally open the door to getting more dating sim games in the US. And even though it’s aimed at girls, I know many guys who enjoy this series, so guys shouldn’t be afraid.
The games in this series are about a girl and her rival trying to become queen by winning a competition to raise a continent/planet/piece of land better than her rival. The girls can also date their assistants and improve relationships with characters and fall in love. The games also have awesome voice actors and anime-style cutscenes, so it’s a series that America shouldn’t miss.
