It promises “detailed facial expressions” and “dynamic movements” produced in 3D, and CG animations will also appear during battle scenes.
I want to believe this is coming to the west, buuuuuuuuuut...
I dunno. I like Little Witch, I'd like to see it. One of the few anime that haven't been overly cringe-worthy to my tastes. And it looks to be a bit more than the typical VN game little to no one cares about.
With Bamco you pretty much have to flip a coin on if they localize a game or not. And it has to land on the side.

oh, ok good
I have a strong feeling that collectors edition isn't going to be available here. I read somewhere it's digital only in the west. Might be wrong though.
Either way, I want it.
Gameplay
I gotta remember to ask you people when this game comes out what the vocal/reading situation is.
My daughter loves this anime, but her reading is currently, "The cat sat," so I'm not sure if she'll be able to play this yet.
