Guess i'll keep checking the eShop, launch trailer says a few hours so hopefully it'll pop up before I head to bed. Love the trailer :D

Edit: It's out on the Japanese eShop now.

No idea if this one is coming out at midnight but IIRC with other recent eShop releases for Switch that are not first party games they've come out during business hours the day of release.

According to a comment from DotEmu in the reveal trailer, it will still be releasing tomorrow on Switch(for the US at least). There was some confusion because their description says it'll be arriving "in a few hours" and the PS4 version seems to be unlocking early(?).

There's also a comment from Lizardcube saying it might unlock when it hits 00:00 hours in each region. Maybe they're not too sure what time it unlocks in certain regions/on certain platforms.

For those wondering on Switch JPN version..

Nintendo has seemingly moved to universal SKUs for eShop. If it's easy enough for you to load yen on the JPN eshop, when you buy a game there and check the US eShop, the game will show up purchased.

So if you REALLY need to play it now, and can get yen loaded for exchange rate value.. you're 100% safe. I haven't found a game yet where there are effectively two different game IDs between the two stores. Even Disgaea 5 is 100% playable now.

The first real test will be DQW1&2. Currently out on JPN, but only Japanese language. Will see when it gets released in the US if it ends up showing Purchased on the JPN eShop (and if that version gets updated with English language)

Wow that's amazing. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks Borghe, i'll probably just grab it from the Japanese store then.

Is this going to be 60 FPS on Switch the way it will be on PC (and seemingly other consoles)?
Click to expand...

Here you go.

OP, there may be information in the following that is useful to add.

FAQ

Price?

$19.99
€19.99
¥2200
And equivalent price depending on your region/platform.

Performances?

The game runs identical and at 60 FPS on all platforms.

Regions? The game should be available in most regions of the world:

Americas: Switch, PS4, Xbox One.
Europe: Switch, PS4, Xbox One.
Japan: Switch, PS4.
Australia, New Zealand: Switch and PS4 only. Xbox One version will arrive later.
Asia (other than Japan): we are working on bringing the game to you, please hold on for a while.

Switch users: it is really easy to access eShop from other countries on any Switch. Look it up if you don’t find the game in your local eShop ;)

Languages? The game supports the following languages, regardless of which region you downloaded it from:

English
Japanese
French
Italian
Spanish
German
Brazilian Portuguese

Package size?

The game is about 900 MB (some variation depending on the platform).

Windows/Mac/Linux version?

We are working on a computer version and they should arrive later. We hope to have the Windows version available in June, but please don’t quote us on that yet ;) You can already check the Steam Page and wishlist the game on Steam to receive news when we have them.

Physical release?

The game is a digital download only. We are investigating the possibility of doing a physical release later, however if it happens it probably wouldn’t be for all platforms/regions and may be in limited quantities. We are looking into it, please bear we us that physical goods may not be at our reach and few studios at this point know how to manufacture e.g. Switch games. So it might or might not happen.

Turma da Mônica?

Our Brazilian friends are often asking about incorporating their famous Turma da Mônica comic character into the game, as she was incorported into the 1993 TecToy release of “Turma da Mônica em: O Resgate” for the Master System. Unfortunately that would require obtaining a license from both Mauricio de Sousa Produções and TecToy, and our project is already such an imbroglio of licensing that it would be too complex for us to do it in time. However we can’t stop modders from trying to do it. ;)

hopefully in the US. It is already up on the JPN eShop (and can be bought from there if you want). The coming soon section says tomorrow, so I am guessing it will be up whenever eShop updates with it.

How is it a roguelike?

All that happens when you die is that you get kicked back to the "hub" world. You still keep all of your stuff (even gold).

I dont remember it being a rogue like at all, and it is one of my fondest childhood gaming memories. As a person who really doesnt enjoy roguelikes, that wouldnt make sense either lol.

I hope so, because the eShop usually gets updated Thursdays.

All this talk of playing on Switch has reminded me how awesome this will be using remote play on my Vita.

Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow in work (my boss is currently out of the country).

Nice Tenacious D lines lol. Can never think of Wonderboy the same after the song... which is itself 16 years old doh.

Will grab on Switch, hopefully cheapish on AU Store.

try buying a digital card on amazon.co.jp. seems to have much better luck than funding directly on eShop

Yeah it's super easy to buy them too. I don't even have to enter my details anymore after setting it up.

Here's a easy guide I used: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5y26nn/guide_how_to_get_japanese_eshop_codes_from/

It's $26 which is cheaper than the PSN version. Pretty decent pricewise i'd say.

So how do I get a digital Japanese Yen card for the eShop as an American? Amazon.co.jp is impossible to read (and do I need to create a different Amazon account for Japan?

Can I just use a credit card on the japanese eshop?

[edit] Post above me wasn't there a moment ago. Will read that reddit tutorial first....) Thanks!

There, the crevasse, fill it!

Looking forward to trying this out once I have a chance to poke through a bit of review/analysis to make sure I understand what kind of game it is.
