Yes I got my pins as well and thought they would just be in a standard packing envelope. Was pleasantly surprised and the pins look nicer in person too.

Waiting on my pins, accidentally sent them to my mom's po box. Thanks auto complete!
I've been struggling playing Code Realize. The plot is really clunky. I haven't even finished the common route yet and I started weeks ago.
I also stopped playing mobages because all together it costs so damn much.

Even if it doesn't they're still fully committed at this point and not like there's anywhere else for them to really go.
Will be interesting to see though, the PS4 ports didn't sell as badly as I thought considering they yanked support so quickly.
They have invested way more into (marketing) their switch games than they ever did for their lousy ps4 efforts. If after all that, the numbers between ps4 and switch aren't all that different - that'd be a colossal waste of money.
Oh I know. I do wonder why they half-hearted PS4 support so much while going all in on Switch like they have.
One is a console, and one is a portable. They know that the Vita's on its way out so they're hitching their wagon to where the last remaining portable is.
I know. See conversation above. They kinda half-heartedly tried with PS4 and got not-too-bad results, then gave up on it altogether at the expense of Switch. Let's hope it pays off!
Probably because they didn't want to support it to begin with and only did because it was the only other thing out there that could run their games (rip Xbox) well at the time.
All their ps4 games are on vita, so that wasn't an issue. Quite a few people were annoyed by how quickly they abandoned the ps4.
Otome games weren't always portable (see ps2), plus PC otome games exist. It's just Otomate that's being weird about the whole thing.
Well I did say "other thing" meaning "other than the Vita" lol. I know that but have their sales ever been as good on console as they have been on portable?
Their sales have only ever been good on psp. There was a drastic drop with the vita, but most of their titles were still profitable. (probably because of all the merch). They won't be able to handle another decline in sales.
I assume their ps2 titles managed to turn a profit as well.
I'm sure they'll be fine on Switch, they were coping on ~ 10k for most of their non-tentpole titles on Vita and I'm sure Switch can match that.
I'm sure PS4 could've done that too though, or at least been an alternative source for their audience.
Teaser trailers are up from Otomate Party. Several known and unknown ports with some new Switch and mobile titles.
For some reason I feel a little sad that Otomate is "already" moving on to Switch. I guess because I really only just started playing vita otoges like last year, I'm oddly attached and it feels too soon.
That said some of the games they showed off looked really beautiful. Can't wait to see more about Cafe Enchante in particular.

London Detective Mysteria's english website is up.

The blog post talks briefly about the cancellation of the psp version, but doesn't say much aside from Marvelous putting it on indefinite hold and then scrapping it as the psp aged. Still, glad we're getting it now!

Can't read from work, but I wonder what was up with the long delay between Vita Japanese release and this version. Could've better cashed in on the market and even got a physical out.
Suspect it will be Switch, they're going all in.
Game's out now.
On another note, Hakuoki for Switch came out last week and the game didn't manage to chart. FW numbers should be <3.6k. This doesn't mean much since everyone is sick and tired of the same Hakuoki re-releases. Code:Realize is out this week, and Nil Admirari and Norn9 ports will follow suit. Think that's it for September releases.

I take that after losing Ys VIII to NISA, XSEED decided to pull the trigger and do London Detective Mysteria. Something good came out of that, after all.

I think that has meh to bad reviews on Steam so I am gonna pass.
Wonder what it'll end up selling.
FWIW, PS4 port did like 800 first week apparently?
478./000. [PS4] Hakuoki: Shinkai - Fuukaden # <ADV> (Idea Factory) {2017.07.13} (¥7.200) - 5.306 / NEW (831 <45,36%>)
For something that initially sold only 800 copies, Hakuoki ended up having decent legs :P.
Yeah, 5k is pretty good, considering the original versions (sold separately) on Vita did like ~ 20k each.
I dunno what otomate will be expecting for these late ports on Switch. The first wave of late PSP -> Vita ports debuted lowish (~3k each) but legged it to 10-12k.
So, Famitsu's top 30 is out and Hakuoki still didn't manage to chart. Means it sold fewer than 1684 copies :/.

That's not much better. Still too early for doom and gloom though!
SC doesn't seem overly interested in Switch. It's more likely they'd bring the game to Steam (and maybe PS4).
Yeah, they've shown little interest so far. Heck, iirc they had a job advertisement for a new DanganRonpa game for PS4/Vita after V3 released
Future Blessings is still trucking along and Ashen Hawk is still charting as well.
