I enjoy hentai games but not yaoi but I've been waiting for some time now to see who would release a yaoi game stateside and when and what it would be. Now I know.


Maybe it's time for you to step out of the closet and buy one of these game.

Yanno. That would be a very good time to use the "RATED M FOR MATURE. IT HAS SEX, VIOLENCE, BLOOD, AND LITTLE KIDS."

Silver Chaos next, people! SILVER CHAOS!!!

Never really got into Enzai. Maybe if I get it's english version, it'll change my mind. But Silver Chaos owns the HELL out of Enzai. And the only REALLY "creepy" thing about it, for all you fluff-fans, is Hector, who can easily be avoided by doing the right things. There's even walkthroughs of storylines for it, if you wanted to avoid the creepy-ness altogether. Or, if you're a non-fluff-fan, you can run right into Hector all you want! ^_~ But the scenes with Adonis and Maito are soooo cute... >.< I would buy an english version of Silver Chaos the split second it came out.

PS: ANN, it's pronounced "yah-weh", not "yah-ow-ee".
PSS: Anyone want some Silver Chaos screenshots, contact me. ^_~

Ok, so maaaybe that wasn't the best way to put it Wink. The point remains, though, that picking this particular game to release is going to make yaoi look a lot worse than the great majority of it is. I'm just hoping they release it very quietly, because I know I sure as hell don't want Enzai to be thought to represent the contents of most BL games.

I heard what the next one was going to be, I remember it wasn't Silver Chaos, but I can't remember what it was Confused

You make it sound like there are many others out there. I'm not into these sort of things myself, but these "games" don't sound like the kind one would be able to purchase off the shelf at one's local Toys-R-Us, or catalogue shop. Wink

There are quite a lot of them, more than you'd think. BL has become quite popular and quasi-mainstream in the last few years. You may not be able to buy these kinds of games in Toys-R-Us shops (or whatever their Japanese equivalents are), but you can buy BL manga, novels, etc. in local book/mangashops.

You seem to be writing about these things in Japan, of which I have no doubt that there would be a few Yaoi and Bishounen-ai related merchandice available. But I believe the thread was about availability outside Japan. Wink

Err, you can buy tons of BL and yaoi things in stores like Barnes and Noble thanks to the glut from Tokyopop and others.
Oh, and Matanaito- its not pronounced "yah-weh." Are you Jewish or just really confused?

Well if this is true then there should be no need to fret that this particular game will set any president then. It should be labeled as a more erotic version when placed among the rest.

food for though I wonder how well this will sell since almost every retailer (brick and mortar think EB and the like) refuses to stock AO games.

The point violetsquirrel was trying to make is that Enzai pretty much sucks, and it would be unfortunate if people judged the whole BL game genre based on this particular, very bad game.

The exact name is Togainu no Chi,and called 'True Blood Adventure' Smile,made by Nitro+Chiral.I think it's the best BL game yet. Nitro+Chiral is currently producing Lamento, which will be out sometime this year. It'll be interesting if you have the hots for nekomimi dudes.

I don't know about SilverChaos,but Hanamachi Monogatari from the same company was so boring it took me two weeks to clear it lol
