    Gakuen Hetalia

    Alright Xseed, you want a game that will be popular and really sell?
    Well take a look at this.

    http://www.otomate.jp/gakuen_hetaria/

    "Gakuen Hetalia" for the psp is a game that is based off of the popular anime
    "Hetalia:Axis Powers." This anime has a huge fan-base so if
    you were to localize this game then I can guarantee you that
    it would be flying off the shelves. In addition, if you were to
    get in contact with the english voice cast of the anime and
    have them do the voice-overs for the game, then that would
    raise its appeal even further.

    Looks like it's either mostly or only a visual novel. Granted there aren't a whole lot of videos out there so maybe there's something other than walls of text. While I love the genre, it's not exactly a recipe for unbridled success in the west. :P

    What Ryos said. If it had some interactive elements then it might do ok, but without any gameplay beyond text boxes it probably wouldn't stand a chance at market.

    On the contrary there are actually quite a number of videos for this game on youtube. You are correct it is indeed a visual novel however it is also interactive. There are different options you can choose that will affect your friendship with the characters in the game as well as multiple endings. Here are some videos from the game.
