Looking for new JP vita VNs

[Dergonu]

Yo!

I'm sitting here in Japan with a vita that is screaming "play me, play me!", but I already played most of the games I bought with it, so I'm in the need for some new vita games. But... I really don't know what good games are on the vita tbh, so I need some help.

 

A few requirements: (It must be a visual novel at its core. Not a big fan of gameplay VNs, so do keep that to a minimum.)

1) It must have a Japanese release. I'm in Japan, and have internet the speed of a slug, so the only way for me to buy games is through physical copies from stores in Japan. So localized versions available in the west/ digital only stuff won't do. A game with both a JP and ENG physical release is of course absolutely fine. As long as I can buy the JP game here.

2) It must be an all-ages game originally. I am not a fan of censored eroge, so eroge vita ports is a no-no. (I know Cruise Sign technically breaks this rule, but I got that just for the new route (/ω＼) )

3) The genre isn't that important, though I would like something with an interesting story. One game I have my eye on already is Iwaihime. Something similar with some horror themes would be pretty cool.

But yeah, no real resrictions around the genre.

Please do not recommend these games:

 

(The games I already have)

 - Amagami

 - Re:Zero - Death or Kiss -

 - Girl Friend BETA - Kimi to Sugosu Natsuyasumi

 - Idol Death Game

 - New Game! -The Challenge Stage!-

 - Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? Wonderful Party!

 - KonoSora - Cruise Sign -

 - Danganronpa. I don't actually have the game(s) yet, but already got this recommendation like 900 times, so yeah. Already have Idol Death game, so more games in that genre isn't quite what I'm looking for right now.

how about going to the akiba and look around and pick anything you find fancy. Don't think about stupid shit like but maybe this game is censored. I bet if you play it and don't look up the original stuff you won't notice that anything is censored.

There is an overwhelming amount of games and I don't know most of them, so that's why I'm asking for recommendations. 

I don't want censored games. Suggesting one of the only things I said I don't want, and saying I should just pick something at random. Helpful as always, Asonn. ♪( ´θ｀)ノ

Just remember 90% of the times the porn is added just for the sale and don't have any other values. You are one of the problems why my Visual Novels have shitty porn in them. Shame on you you piece of garbage. And overwhelming amount??? when I was in akiba it was not a whole lot? and do you know you can read the back and read a short description of the game??? 

That is why I hate kids nowadays, can't think for themselves and need a recommendation well they can pick anything up what looks interesting from the cover and read the back of the game to know the general idea what the game is about.

Also, maybe KonoSuba if you like anime games? Or "Date-A-Live Twin Edition Rio Reincarnation" is very good choice(~2 games in one)

Ohh, thanks! These all seem interesting. I haven't watched KonoSuba, but I am a huge fan of DAL, so I can't believe I didn't think of that one.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll definitely check these out!

Late to give the recommendations, so I guess it's better late than nothing here.

As for PSV VN, surprisingly there's a number of that although admittedly the VNs were also available for PC as well. If you interested with Utawarerumono, then try both of the sequels which also available for PSV as well and if you want to catch up with the first series just watch the anime. There's also Island in which it's all age in the first place unlike Himawari, and I think you may as well try YU-NO remake there. For last recommendations, looks like Flowers could be good VNs for you as well seeing that you like shoujo ai in the past - right now three out of four seasons were also available for Vita (Spring, Summer, and Autumn). Hope the recommendations will be helpful there, and for the information all of those were also available in form of cartridge (All ages in the first place as well).

PS - To @Asonn there, granted that Dergonu could just read the back cover but I think there's no harm to recommended some VNs if I may say something. And by the way your reply looks like the stubborn salty old man to me there XDDDDDDD.

What gave it away?! 

[bakauchuujin]

Since you are looking for games originaly all ages i think you should go for more of the vns based on things that already had an anime. Examples would be nisekoi yomeiri, to love ru true princess (kind of meh), plastic memories, saenai heroine no sodatekata blessing flowers, himouto umaru ikusei keikaku and sakurasou no pet na kanojo. Since you already have some like re:zero and new game i gues you know a bit about the spinn of vns based on anime but since you didn't think of date a live twin edition there might be some of these that you didn't know. Other than these kinds of vns i think the vita library is quite limited in terms of vns that weren't originaly eroge.

I think it's the line 'That is why I hate kids nowadays...', which according to my knowledge was using by an old man who see the attitude of newer generations. It's just my opinion though.

[ShinRaikdou]

Forgot about "Memories OFF" . It is very popular console exclusive series with many games.

Memories Off 6: Next Relation
Memories Off 6 ~T-Wave~

Memories Off: Yubikiri no Kioku
Memories Off: Yubikiri no Kioku - Futari no Fuuryuuan

YU-NO's remake is great (it had a few h-scenes in the original release for the PC-98 like 18 years ago, but they didn't matter to the plot in the slightest, highly recommended). At least the original game is, and Vokoca liked it, so I presume it's a faithful remake (I don't really like the new art style, but so it goes). It's a point-and-click adventure game/VN hybrid, mind.

Actually even more importantly, though, I recommend The House In Fata Morgana -Collected Edition-.

Easily 40 hours of content. Is also the best visual novel I've ever read, by far. Incredible characters, perfect music, great plot, and this release has some great Vita-exclusive content too. I want to play it so bad but I don't know Japanese. ;_;

[Dergonu]

Stopped by a nearby store and found these today:

Spoiler

Guess this is a horror-themed month now. (/ω＼)

Started up Iwaihime and I'm loving it already. The denpa is strong with this one. Phew...

(The font is gross though, ugh. My head actually hurt from reading it for 2 hours straight.)

Oh yeah, I have heard great stuff about that game. Might have to check that one out later as well. It's kind of horror-ish too, right?

Indeed, I do like those. I only really knew about the Re:Zero one when I came here, so the rest of the ones I have atm I just happened to find in random shelves at Akiba.

Hopefully I'll be able to find the DAL game and maybe some other ones next time I go there.

Yeah, sort of. More on a personal level. There's a content advisory floating out there if you need one.

I buy new stuff on Amazon, but I mainly want used games, as they are 70% of the price but basically mint condition. They have used stuff on Amazon too, but the prices are much better in stores. It's also a bit scary buying something used when you can't check its condition before buying it.

I have a game store literally 5 minutes away, but they didn't have DAL there. Those bastards.

B-but you are in Japan, all used goods are all in perfect state or amazon would give you the biggest warning ever if that was not the case.

I know, that's literally what I said.

as they are 70% of the price but basically mint condition.

I also said the reason I choose stores over Amazon, and that's simply because I like actually seeing the fact that they are indeed mint condition before buying them. Sure, you can see pictures on Amazon, but to me that isn't quite enough. And seeing how I have a store quite literally 5 mins away, I'm fine with walking there over potentially getting something banged up from Amazon.

Why do you keep trying to find fault with unrelated stuff in this thread, lol.

I'm not searching fault in this thread? I just find it weird that you don't mind going outside to a store... I thought you were a fucking weeb but it seems you are a fucking normie that somehow likes anime titties....
