Aqua Plus Announces Tears to Tiara Gaiden: Avalon no Nazo

The PlayStation 3, now the official home for obscure JRPGs, is getting another iteration of last year's SRPG/H-game port of Tears to Tiara.

Titled Tears to Tiara Gaiden: Avalon no Nazo (lit. Tears to Tiara Side-Story: The Mystery of Avalon), the new title features the same cast as the original, and indeed looks like the original in almost every way. In fact, since the scans (below) are too blurry to make much out, I can't even tell you what is going to be different in this sequel(?).




The original Tears to Tiara never made it to North America for reasons I would imagine that you can guess (hint: H-games / H-game ports tend to be a niche market even in Japan), so I wouldn't start holding my breath for Gaiden to make it over either. That said, the PS3 is region free, and if you really want to play it, I doubt you would let a little thing like a foreign language stop you.

Tears to Tiara Gaiden: Avalon no Nazo will be available for PlayStation 3 on September 17, 2009 in Japan.
