Re: You Need To Buy DLC To Play Otome 'Taisho x Alice All In One' In English On Switch

There is probably a reason why they didn't just release an english version of the switch game. For the longest time it was unlikely for us to get the switch version at all. But I'm still curious why they choose this way.

Also there is one upside to this: I can buy the Japanese physical edition of the game and only need to get the English DLC to play it in English. They probably couldn't afford an English physical release. This way we can still technically get one (even if it's more difficult to import). Honestly if it's this or never getting certain otome games in English for switch then I will take this weird way with an English DLC any day.

But I can't help but hope that maybe Limited Run could get involved and get us a proper English physical edition...

@UltimateOtaku91 I think the reason for that is because bishoujo/eroge are more focused on PC. On PC they can have adult content while on console they can't. So most original eroge are released on PC and not everyone is keen on buying a censored console port. Otome games on the other hand only rarely have adult content and most often start out on console.
This is why there are way more otome games to localise on Switch than bishoujo. I personally wish for Tsukihime to come west too...
