Item Description

Here is a great piece of DS trivia: Princess Debut was developed by Cave, the Japanese studio better known for ferocious bullet-hell shooters like DoDonPachi, and published in North America by Natsume in 2008. Trade the screen full of bullets for a ballroom and the studio's love of precise, rhythmic play makes sense. This is a rhythm game about dancing with the stylus, wrapped in a fairy-tale romance.

Your princess has one month to prepare for a grand royal ball, and she needs a partner. Six princes are in the running, each with his own personality and storyline, and the days leading up to the ball are filled with events and conversations where your choices warm or cool each relationship, right down to a playful petal-picking "he loves me, he loves me not" moment.

The dancing is the main event. Patterns appear on the touch screen and you trace them in time with the music while your couple glides across the top screen in 3D, with movements motion-captured from professional dancers. There are 20 songs across ten dance styles, from the Viennese Waltz to the Samba and the Quickstep. It plays slower and gentler than something like Elite Beat Agents, so it is easy to pick up, but earning top ratings still takes focus. Practice and Movie modes let you revisit the songs and costumes you've unlocked, and Ballroom mode strings six songs together against target scores.

The bright anime-style art comes from Kotori Momoyuki, a manga artist serialized in Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine, which gives the game the look of a shōjo comic come to life. A single run through the story takes only a few hours, but with six princes to win over it is built for replaying, and its premise is one few other DS games attempted: an otome romance where the courtship plays out on the dance floor.
