Only one of those three seems to be announced for Switch from what I can see.

Yes but that is what the title actually says. It's just hard to express.

 

[kami_sama]

This is some of the most confusing posts I've seen on Gaming lol
Can anyone say which ones are coming for Switch? Would love a port of S;G for my little console.

 

[Zalman]

Blimey, a remake of Steins; Gate with major story revisions? Huh...don't know how I feel about that, not sure the original needs tinkering with

Yeah, I hope they don't change too much story-wise. What I do want to see is updated artwork and sprites. That was improved so much in SG0.

 

[L~A]

Famitsu article clearly states what is coming to what. Only Anonymous;Code is for Switch so far.

Have to say, feels weird to see 5pb. announce something for a Nintendo platform. Last gen, their only release was Corpse Party on Nintendo 3DS.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Been waiting for some VNs to get announced for Switch! Hopefully Anonymous;Code will be the first of many. (Moreover, hopefully a lot of them will actually get localized)

 

[ShyMel]

Hopefully PQube picks them all up for localization eventually.

Well, you all know what specific moving image foretold us this could happen, don't you?

Pleased someone appreciated my use of commas.

Hard to pack it all in to one thread title, but I clearly separated out 'Anonymous;Code for Switch' as a separate entity to the other announcements.

No platform announcements yet on the other two.

The commas make it look like a list of things coming to Switch though.

You can't win with this on grammar, I'll grant you.

I could have put the Switch announcement ahead of the others in the thread title to avoid confusion, but it's the least major of the announcements arguably, so seemed inappropriate.

 

[timberger]

Yep, that was how I read it initially as well.

Would have been clearer to just leave any platform info out of the title altogether imo but whatevs, not really a big deal or anything.

 

[Glitter and Gold]

Still hoping we get Robotics;Note at some point.

Just became infinitely more likely if the sequel has direct ties to Steins;gate and its characters

Technically you could count Bravely Default...

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Sweet, VisNovs on Switch is perfect.

 

[TheMoon]

Heh, true.

It's even managing to confuse My Nintendo News who appear to have read the GAF thread title and reported it as-is, lol:

https://mynintendonews.com/2017/05/28/japan-steinsgate-elite-and-more-announced-for-nintendo-switch/

they don't have a reputation as the shittiest of shitty news sites for nothing. well deserved.

 

[NoKisum]

I have Steins;Gate here on Vita, still unplayed. My Switch has been getting a lot of love though. I wonder if I should just wait for a Switch version...

 

[E_Darkness]

I mean if the Switch is getting the new game, it's probably gonna get ports of literally everything else at some point or another.

 

[ArtHands]

Yes but that is what the title actually says. It's just hard to express.

Not that hard

"Anonymous;Code (Switch), Steins;Gate Elite, Robotics;Note DaSH, all announced for JP"

Maybe a mod can retitle the thread

All I've seen on it so far.

Brilliant

Hope this means for the west too, really want to play Steins Gate 0

That's better but you would probably still confusion because the other games have no platforms.

 

[hao chi]

Fuck, I just got Stein's;Gate on sale recently and wanted play it soon. I guess I'll be waiting instead.

 

[ArtHands]

Its enough to indicate that the platform announced for Anonymous;Note is different from the other 2.

 

[Igama]

Wow, Steins;Gate remake? I wonder what they are going to add and change.

 

[JPS Kai]

Looks like PQube is staying in business another year!

Between the three Science Adventure series and Root Letter, my PS4/Vita has become my new visual novel machine and that's a-okay with me.

 

[wanders]

Switch the new Vita?

Don't tarnish the Switch please

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah I'm not sure if I want the original S;G story messed around with if I'm being honest.

 

[Oregano]

Yeah, that's fair enough.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I hope they come to the US!

 

[Grim Patron]

If I knew this I wouldve held off on buying it on steam

 

[Vanille]

What a clusterfuck of a thread title. Makes it sound like all 3 are exclusive to Switch.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Interested to see what Steins;Gate Elite will be like. The game is so good already, so I wonder how an expanded version could work without messing things up.

All the Science Adventure games getting Steam releases is great news, too. Hopefully that increases the chances of us getting them in the west.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

I loved SG but yes it does.

Yar, the script could use some tightening and maybe some things clarified, but I have this dread they'd just plop in some wacky beach chapter or something. If I remember correctly, the story has 10 days timeskip where they could put that stuff.

I don't remember any timeskip.

Spoiler

Other than between chapter 10 and the True Ending, which would make tonally no sense to put slice-of-life stuff

 

[iceblade997]

Awesome news!

I really do wonder what they'll do with the Steins;Gate remake considering how tightly done the story is for the first one.

Was suspecting a new game in the series, but not 2/3 . Now to wait for them to get localizations...

This is fantastic news though .

Currently playing through Steins Gate on vita. This just killed my motivation.

What chapter are you at? Keep playing. It gets good. It gets really really good... If anything finishing it off might make you a bit suspicious of the remake lol. But seriously please don't give up. After all these could take years to get here by which time you might've forgotten about them considering how many games you might be keeping track of.

 

[Jimrpg]

Oh my!

Everyone buy the shit out of Steins;Gate Zero, Root Letter, Chaos; Child when it comes out on Vita.

Pretty confident these will come out in the west whatever the platform though I hope it's Vita.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

After they decided to make the Time Leap Machine, the narrative sorta goes "and then a few days later the machine is done".

Well, that was at most from August 11th to August 13th.

But whatever. I have no idea what they're going to do, but incorporating some of the side material (which is actually very interesting and world-expanding) would be cool. Though at least some of it would require moving to a perspective other than Okabe.

Not a problem, Steins;Gate 0 handled that (mostly) well when it shifted perspectives. Actually, speaking of S;G 0 I would not be surprised if Maho sees a cameo in the expanded content now that S;G 0 was a thing.

Ow, I most likely was remembering incorrectly, then.

 

[t26]

The only announcement here that would help that is Robotics;Notes to Steam, right? Seeing how the last two releases have been handled by PQube (Steins;Gate 0 and Chaos;Child) I'm not sure that helps things, since the expanded console counterpart (Elite) is stuck on PS3/Vita.

Unless 5pb translate it themselves for Steam I suppose.

Robotics;Note Elite is only on Vita, not on PS3

 

[zelas]

It really isn't. And that's hardly an excuse for TC not clearing things up in the OP.

 

[DrDaxxy]

Yeah, I cannot imagine they're releasing on Steam without any English translation plans. Nobody releases on Steam for the Japanese market exclusively.

There are some.

Hoping they do come over soon. Will place on my wishlist, trying to get into more VNs

I doubt they'd bring over older stuff. You have it there, play it. I hear nothing but praise.

Well, I think the concern is that Steins;Gate Elite may come out on Switch.

 

[Sakura]

Interested in Steins Gate, as I only like the original and didn't care for the spinoffs.
I really liked Robotics;Notes, but "featuring Daru" is a major turn off. Will not buy.

Robotics;Notes featured Daru too. Though it wasn't obvious in the anime.

 

[BTA]

I'm only a chapter or 2 into 0, but based on what I've read so far, I could see them adjusting parts of the original to

Spoiler

connect better with some stuff about Suzuha's past (future?) that feel a little like retcons, like her bringing Kagari with her

? It's this weird situation where I don't want them to change too much but I also probably won't play it unless they change/add enough for it to be worth it.

I mean, that's assuming we ever get it, I guess. I hope we get R;N at some point at least, even though C;H got skipped (and as someone who bought the PC version and played the fan translation... I'm happy we're getting Child, which appears to be actually good, instead).
