【Otome Game】A Timeless Masterpiece Revives on Nintendo Switch! Princess Arthur, a Famous Title from Otomate—Creators of Countless Otome Games—Returns!

A classic in the otome game genre and a beautifully crafted fantasy tale—this is “Princess Arthur,” revived on the Nintendo Switch. Originally released by Otomate, this title is inspired by the legend of King Arthur, but diverges from traditional heroic tales—it begins with an unexpected twist: a completely innocent girl is chosen by the sacred sword. The moment she draws the sword, the girl's life changes dramatically, and she is thrust onto the battlefield in tears. The emotional struggles and romance born of her innocence quietly yet surely ripple through the player's heart.

Recent otome games often highlight dramatic, complex relationships and a multitude of choices, but “Princess Arthur” doesn't pander to such trends—it sticks to a straightforward and honest storytelling approach. Of course, some may find the retro visuals and presentation a bit dated, but that's precisely what brings out the unique charm that helps one rediscover the essence of an otome game. Nostalgic yet deeply moving—this classic love story somehow feels fresh and new in today's age.

At the heart of the story is the relationship between a single girl and the Knights of the Round Table. The gradually revealed pasts and emotions of each knight offer the pleasure of following the story as if reading a novel. The threads of fate change depending on whom you choose. The delicate feelings of falling in love, inner conflict, and determination. The girl is not merely someone to be protected, but is portrayed as someone who wields a sword to protect those she loves. That portrayal is sure to move and resonate deeply with players.

“Princess Arthur” faithfully retains the atmosphere of the original work, reborn on the new platform of the Nintendo Switch. The controls are smooth, and the game feels highly polished as a port. The common route is a bit long and the skip feature can feel lacking at times, but read-skip is sufficient, and those who enjoy immersing themselves in the story may not find this a problem. Though short, the story is dense and embodies the nostalgic charm of classic otome games.

“Princess Arthur” is not an otome game that seeks only flashiness or novelty—it is a “narrative that speaks to you,” one that allows you to slowly engage with emotional waves. Now that it can be easily played on the Switch, more people should experience this beautiful and heartrending story. What does it mean to become a king? What does it mean to love?—Please witness the path this girl walks, with your own hands.
