Rejoice! Aksys to bring PSP otome game Sweet Fuse to NAThe PSP is the console that just refuses to die, almost 10 years after its North American launch. The good folks at Aksys Games have announced that they'll be bringing Idea Factory's otome game Sweet Fuse: At Your Side (Bakudan Handan) to North American PSPs this summer. A visual novel, Sweet Fuse differentiates itself from other games in the genre due to the inclusion of a few key members of the production team. If the artwork seems familiar, it's because Ace Attorney character designer Tatsuro Iwamoto worked on the game. Huzzah! Players take on the role of Saki Inafune, neice of game developer Keiji Inafune (you read that right), as she visits her uncle's new theme park. Things go awry when the evil Count Hogstein blows up the ferris wheel and takes the park management hostage. In order to save her beloved uncle, Saki volunteers to be a participant in a series of deadly games that will decide the fate of Keiji Inafune and the rest of the park workers. Sweet Fuse is ridiculous sounding, pretty looking, and it'll be in English. What more could you possibly ask for? I've spoken about this in the past, but I'm really happy to see Aksys taking chances with otome games and visual novels in general. I often joke about Idea Factory in Go West!, but the reality is that they do very solid, respectable work in the visual novel industry. If Aksys is able to localize these games and make some kind of profit, it can only be good for everybody in the long run. This is a day one purchase for me. Check out the official details below, with more info on the story and what you can expect from Sweet Fuse. The premise is so insane that it's perfect.
