I've only ever played otome type games on the pc or my phone but I really want to start playing console games as well. However I haven't the slightest clue on what console to get. I want to know which one has the most number of otome related games for it.

I only speak english so the games I'd play must be english or have an english patch.

PS: I've heard about the ps vita a lot but I'm not sure.

So the PSP has two games off the top of my head that are English, Sweet Fuse and Hakuoki. There's a ton of Japanese PSP ones for that console but at this point if any get ported over they will probably be for PS Vita. There's also Persona 3 Portable, that is half an otome game. From what I heard, it has the mechanics but it's not what the whole game is about.

Nintendo DS has a few fan translated otome games, namely the hugely popular Tokimeki Memorial: Girl's Side series, although nothing official has ever been released sadly. Really wish they would, I would snatch all three up in a heartbeat. Officially out, there is Princess Debut and I hear all of the Imagine series are similar but they are aimed more at a very young audience. There is also Sprung which I think is a western otome game attempt by Ubisoft really early on (before the otome games arrived on mobile in the west) but honestly it wasn't that good to me. Anyway, all of these games would probably be difficult to get your hands on now that NDS is old news.

PS3 and 3DS has one game I know of which is Hakuoki.

PS Vita I know have Norn9 and Code Realize and if I remember right the upcoming re-release of Hakuoki with additional characters. All of these are by Idea Factory.

So, I think my suggestion would be to go with the PS Vita at this point since any port of past games will probably be ported over to that. And old PSP games may be available digitally for the Vita (I double would check before you buy though). No matter what though, I wouldn't expect a lot of otome games to be available for consoles in English. =/

Persona 3 Portable has elements of an otome game, but it's really more on the RPG side. It's about a 10/90 ratio, if I could estimate. Still a great game though :)

Handheld consoles will most likely work for you ^_^ kokoro-cafe has mentioned quite a few, though I will suggest the harvest moon series. In my opinion it's a good mix of a dating sim (if I'm using that term right) and some farming fun. I'd recommend Harvest Moon: A New Beginning and Story of Seasons (the first one, since I think there's a second one out there).

When in doubt, you can always watch some trailers in YouTube and see if you like the games mentioned.

Good luck. ^_^
