Princess Debut was one of my first handheld games ever. It came out in 2008. It's about half visual novel, half dancing minigame. You're a schoolgirl named Sabrina (unless you change it) who swaps places with a princess with the same face and name because the schoolgirl wants to meet princes and dance and the princess really doesn't. To get each ending, you need to beat the dance competition with each prince. One playthrough is about 8 hours, and there are 6 princes with a 7th hidden prince.
I love the shit out of this game. It's painfully repetitive and takes forever to get through a playthrough, but I still love it to death. I beat it 3 times the first time I had it, then sold it, then missed it so much I bought a new copy to try again.
I hope you like midi files, because that's what all the songs are, midi files of really old classical numbers. Some of them still play in my mind, even though I haven't touched the game in ages. You can't really customize your character but you do get costumes and ballgowns to choose between for the dancing segments. I haven't unlocked them all yet.
I can't deny, the game is a bit harder to play on a 3DSXL, because it was designed for a smaller screen, so your hands need to work harder during the dancing, but I still love this stupid game.
Do I have a favorite prince? No, they're all pretty dumb. Okay, maybe the secret 7th prince is okay, who knows I never got him. Do I think any of them are gay and shippable? No, they act like children, so I can't see them that way. I don't take much stock in the protagonist marrying one at the end either. It's cute, but they're kids.
