Natsume brings Cave’s Princess Debut stateside

I’m so glad to hear that Natsume is localizing Princess Debut rather than Ubisoft. I know Natsume will do a great job with it. Princess Debut, also known as Ohimesama Debut, is a dancing game in which players step in for a princess to enter a dance competition with one of six elligible princes. The bottom screen offers patterns to follow to make the princess substitute dance.

The game is also a bit of a simulation. You have to practice and learn dances to succeed. You also have to meet princes and build a relationship in order to find a suitable dancing partner. There’s only one month before the ball and dance competition, so players have to work fast to become fabulous ballroom dancers once the game is released in Fall 2008.

A friend of mine imported Ohimesama Debut, the Japanese version of Princess Debut, and I was able to borrow it and get an idea of what the game is all about. It is surprisingly fun, and a great game that reminded me a bit of Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan. I’m glad to see it getting a US release, and I definitely plan on picking up a copy.
