That Gaming Site writs: "Were we ever short of a Prince dating-sim/ ball-room dancing rhythm game on the DS? Given the amount of games on the DS that use stereotypes to target the young female audience, Princess Debut really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The difference here is that Japanese developer Natsume of Harvest Moon fame is behind Princess Debut. Is Princess Debut just another attempt to make a quick buck out of some tweens or something a little more distinctive?"
Yeah there is a lot more too it than those Imagine and Petz games. Probably because they brought Natsume in to work on it, bet it went down a storm in Japan.
The Natsume name was a bit reassuring given their track record, I'm sure it was popular in Japan. Wonder how it will do in Europe and possibly North America if Midway (now Warner I guess) decide to release it.
In the game, players find themselves in a fantasy world where they have thirty days to get ready for the big ball; they'll have to master their dance moves and pick a partner from one of six charming princes. They'll meet and woo the princes through the game's large, branching storyline and exciting event system. Once players convince a prince to be their dancing partner, it's time to go out on the dance floor! Players will use the touch screen to guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while matching their partner's rhythm. All of the dances in the game are taken from motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just as impressive to watch as it is fun to play.
Damn those Europeans get another exclusive!!!
and become increasingly embarrassing. Do you kill anything in this game?
