The PSP/PS Vita Stores are Closing Soon!

UPDATE: Sony decided that they're not going to close the Vita's store after all, just the PSP's. They probably did that because of all the backlash they got online. So this post is just completely useless now.

 Everyone probably already knows this, but the PSP and PS Vita online stores are going to be shut down in the summer. (The PS3's store will be too, but because I don't own one of those I don't care as much...) Luckily you'll still be able to download all of your previously purchased games, but you just won't be able to buy new things.

I'm not really that bothered about it, to be quite honest. I just don't understand why the Vita's store is being shut now, when developers are still producing software for it. It had to happen eventually though. A lot of people seem to be upset about it. It is sad that some of the digital-only games might be lost forever. But there are better things in the world to care about right now.

Since this is an otome blog, all I'm going to be discussing is the romance games (English only, I don't know about the JP ones) found on the PlayStation Stores. Luckily, the PSP and Vita don't have any true digital-only otoge. Most of them you can get on other platforms. But if you don't want to play them on PC, it's probably best to pick them up while you can.

In this post, I will try to list all the digital-exclusive otome content on the PS Store that you may or may not want to pick up before it's gone. (I will also be rambling a lot, sorry)

DIABOLIK LOVERS 9th Main Theme: "COUNT OFF" - A Review (sort of)

 I suddenly feel like writing about character songs on this blog now!

Two posts ago, I wrote about this Diabolik Lovers anniversary video that came out back in December. I was quite interested in the song that played in the background. Until today, I had completely forgotten about it. 

I had a bit of money left on this gift card, and was scouting the iTunes Store for something to buy. (Yes, I still purchase music instead of streaming it) Out of curiosity, I typed in "Diabolik Lovers", even though none of the character songs have ever been available outside of Japan. But that song, the song in that video was there! They also had the opening to Chaos Lineage there, but since I don't have the game, I'm not really interested in the song.

Piofiore: Fated Memories - A Review

 I've had Piofiore since it released in October, and only now have I sort of finished it. I've never taken this long to complete a game. It's not because the game is bad, it's just that I was feeling burnt out by visual novels (I think I've already mentioned this thousands of times before, oops), so I just couldn't be bothered to play half the time. 

I actually didn't finish the Finale route (I got a bad ending and was too tired to restart), so technically I haven't finished the game, but I'm going to write this review anyway. 

So... what are my thoughts on Piofiore?

(There are a few spoilers below, so beware!)

Diabolik Lovers is Nine Years Old, Apparently.

 I would like to bring your attention towards the video below:

It came out two months ago, and I somehow missed it! 

Apparently Diabolik Lovers is nine years old now. Well, technically it is almost ten, since it came out in 2011 and now we're in 2021. I literally just watched this video five minutes ago, and immediately ran to make a blog post out of it. There's not really much to say, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

The King of Fighters for Girls - More Thoughts

 I've been playing so much KOF lately that it made me want to write more about this game. In between battling Krizalid for the 500th time in KOF 99, I've been slowly making my way through the main story of KOFG. The character songs have been stuck in my head a lot lately, because I've been listening to them way too much...

(UPDATE: Apparently this game is closing down. Why? They're still releasing character songs for it, so why are they stopping it? The game hasn't even been around for that long! It's quite sad, to be honest, because I've been playing it almost daily since I wrote this post. The story's actually quite interesting and I was enjoying myself. I suppose I'll have to take as many screenshots as I can before it ends...)

The King of Fighters For Girls - First Impressions

 Recently, I got back into my mobage phase again. Even though I have my Switch right there with plenty of unfinished games to play, my brain would rather grind through free App Store games right now. A recent addition to my iPod Touch's small collection of F2P otome is The King of Fighters For Girls. It's a Japan exclusive game that has all of the usual mobage stuff, like gacha and grinding mini-games. You can still download it from abroad if you use a Japanese iTunes/Google Play account, or there are subbed gameplay videos on YouTube.

The First Post of 2021.

 Hello. This blog is not dead yet!

It is finally 2021. I had written out a post for late December, but I deleted it at the last minute. I don't know why, I think I thought my writing was cringeworthy or something stupid like that. But I'm back for the new year!
