Upcoming Otome / GxB games for April – Princess Nightmare [プリンセスナイトメア] (PC)

Last of the April games I’ll be featuring~ :3

April 27 – Princess Nightmare (http://www.karin-e.jp/nightmare/index02.htm)

That pic is enough to make me want this~ *____* This game sure looks fun~ With an egoistical / mischievous genius vampire girl named “Little Dracula” as the heroine, having a werewolf for a minion (the one at the bottom of the pic), and other Gothic characters such as Franken (the Ftankenstein, the at the top portion of the pic), Radu (another vampire; Little Dracula’s brother-in-law, and also the one who turned her into a vampire -> the one who’s about to kiss / bite Little Dracula in the pic), Van Helsing, the prince of darkness (whose human form is actually Little Dracula’s classmate), Vlad Dracula (Radu’s father; the “master vampire”), and many more~ The characters have been “bishiefied”, so to speak, for more yumminess and fangirl attraction :p And the artwork / graphics of the game is stunning *__* (please just check out the official site, since I’m not quite allowed to post the piccies here :|)

Just to give a more background regarding the story, here’s some more info about Little Dracula. Little Dracula was originally a human, and her parents died when she was but a child. She grew up as an orphan in Transylvania, whose life was just waiting for death to come. That is, until Radu sucked her blood and turned her into a vampire, making her just as [almost] immortal as any vampire. She’s normally seen as an ordinary human girl studying in Roza Academy, and transforms into her vampiric self (at night, most likely). It is said that Werewolf is her minion, though I don’t know how that came to be. As for Radu, his human form is this blonde guy… and his vampire form is that one in the pic <3 He is said to be cold towards other people, except for his sister Little Dracula, the only person he shows his humane-ness to. The seiyuu cast for the game is another aspect worthy to note for this game. First of all Little Dracula, the heroine, has a voice! Most heroines in games don’t have voices, so I’m really happy when they get to have one :p She’s voiced by Ryoko Shintani, Milfeulle’s seiyuu.

As for the guys, (1) Radu Dracula is voiced by Kouji Yusa, who has seiyuu roles in many animes, but what I really know of is his role as 速水紅蓮/グリーエン・ロッド in Mermaid Prism (another game for PS2)~ great voice I would say :D~

(2) Vlad Dracula’s seiyuu is Hiroki Yasumoto, voice of young Conrad from Kyou Kara Maou, and voice of Masaaki Kagara from Mizu no Senritsu (PS2). From what I could remember as Masaaki’s voice, it’s all gentle and soft… and now voicing the great Dracula o_O wow… I was quite surprised when I heard his voice as Dracula… it totally fits! his voice became “darker” and deep…

(3) Werewolf’s seiyuu is Daisuke Ono, whose voice fresh in my mind is his seiyuu roles in games… Hyuuga in Neo-Angelique, the “head” of the Kirihara clan in Mizu no Senritsu, and as Yuzuru Sawato in Little Aid (the crazy president of the Disciple Committee). His roles in the former 2 games I mentioned was quite serious, and quite fitting as his role as the “serious” werewolf, while his latter role is rather crazy and wacky, for which I wouldn’t be surprised that his personality as Werewolf is full of crack too :p (oh, and just an additional note… he’s also the seiyuu of Kazuma Yagami, of the upcoming Kaze no Stigma :3)

(4) Franken’s voice is no other than Kishou Taniyama~ <33 Tsukimori’s seiyuu~~~ >o< and also Tezuka-sempai in Mizu no Senritsu (whose personality is opposite of Tsukimori, and rather like Ousaki-sempai in Corda :p), and also Prince Eusis in Nishi no Yoki Majo :3 (he has also voiced characters in some 18-sai games for girls, actually… particularly in Purelover Flavor and Under the Moon (as Leni -> but he used a pen-name for this role of his… because it’s H? o_O))

(5) Phantom, the “death spirit” is voiced by Oogata Megumi~ *__* (Kurama of YYH / Yukito of CCS) Ok, enough said about seiyuus… hehe :p Given all these characters, the premise of this “Transylvanian” story, the seiyuus and the stunning graphics, I’d love to get hold of the actual game… But sadly, I can’t seem to find any sites to order it from internationally. Too bad amazon JP doesn’t ship games outiside Japan, so *sigh* can’t be helped but *ahem* find [other means] then… hehe :P

  1. I wish we would get half the games that come out in Japan – we get a few but not nearly enough

  2. if you’re talking about games being ported to English, it really is few… especially if you’re going to consider the number of GxB games ported to English (almost none… =___=”’ I could only name 2-3 I guess…)

    as for getting the games that are out in Japan, there are several ways of obtaining them… from shops that import Japanese games, or *ahem* other means :p

  4. I remember Hirameki saying they were planning to port Karin Entertainment’s new game. I suppose it referred to Princess Nightmare, but back when they said it, Princess Nightmare had not yet been announced I think. So maybe it will come out in English?

  5. yeah, there is indeed a chance that they’ll port it to English too~! (seeing as Karin Entertainment’s Animamundi was well-received :3) let’s all hope so indeed :DDD

    Do you know any otome games that are in english? All the ones I find _seaching the internet) are in Japanese.

  7. I fell in love with the character design in this game after looking through COSmode.

    I want to cosplay one of the characters in the game, though I have really no idea who they are or who they are like. It’s almost unbearable!

    So I’m hoping that if Hirameki doesn’t licsence this, some fan may be able to do a translated script at least.

    >w

  8. Princess Nightmare is currently available only in Japanese… but hopefully, Kirameki will indeed license it the same way they did to Animamundi (or have someone make a translation script), and make lots of fangirls happy ^-^
