Gainax porting Princess Maker 5 to the PSP this fall

by Alan Tsang { Jul 6th 2008 at 6:00PM }

Gainax, an anime studio best known for Neo Genesis Evangelion, is going to be publishing something wholly different this fall on the PSP. Princess Maker 5, which was released on the PS2 in Japan last year, will be getting a port to the PSP. In all the Princess Maker games, you play as a man who adopts a daughter that you must raise. In this current incarnation the player raises a girl of royal heritage who is a candidate to become princess. He protects her after the other candidates for princess are killed and she is the next apparent target. The fifth game in the series will feature a modern setting, as opposed to a period setting in past games. For the first time you may also play as a mother to the girl. The game will be released on September 25th in Japan.

Princess Maker 4: Implicitly erotic parenting sim coming to DS

by Eric Caoili { Jul 4th 2008 at 10:30PM }

Gainax's (Neon Genesis Evangelion) Princess Maker series seems harmless at first, a cute "life simulator" in which you raise an orphaned girl to womanhood. The dominant/submissive undertones in the games aren't obvious until you realize the absolute control you have over every aspect of your devoted ward's life.

You can train her in combat to have her fight at the Harvest Festival, put her on a diet so that she can wear fashionable outfits, or send her to work at a bar to raise her "Sinfulness" stat while lowering her "Morals."

Depending on your guidance, your daughter can grow up to be the queen, lead an army, or marry the butler. If you raise her wrong, however, as we assume many gamers will do intentionally, she could become the king's concubine, work as a sleazy barmaid, or even marry her adoptive father!

Originally released for PCs and the PSP in 2006, Princess Maker 4 is also coming to the DS with a Special Edition subtitle this September in Japan. Publisher Cyberfront has a few improvements and additions planned for the port -- three new endings, stat details moved to the bottom screen, and, of course, touchsceen support.

According to the official site, using your stylus, you can "pat your daughter's head, pinch her cheeks, and etc." Etc., indeed. Try out a very brief and somewhat NSFW demo after the post break!
