Anonymous;Code looks good but if I'm not mistaken it's part of a big multimedia franchise? I mean Steins;Gate and all that stuff, with anime and games and whatnot.

Anonymous;Code is related to Occultic;Nine, but the Science Visual Novel franchise they represent is separate from the Science Adventure series (Chaos;Head/Chaos;Child, Steins;Gate/Steins;Gate 0, Robotics;Notes).

Vita's all but dead, those handheld vns and anime games need to go somewhere. Hope you're prepared for when Compile Hearts starts releasing shit on the Switch.

Switch is coming for the Vita's gig and we all know it, I'm just curious how many developers will just stick with the PS4 regarding visual novels.
 
They're not human. Theyre bug eyed monstrosities.

I heard that on a recent stream Chiyomaru Shikura said that Occultic;Nine on Switch is a possibility. Not a confirmation by any means, but it would be good to have the Science Visual Novels available on all the same platforms.

Are you debugging code? Or is that a CSS stylesheet?

Perhaps they can be bothered with a physical release by then (I have no particular interest in O;N, but I still can't help but wonder what they're thinking by making the JP PS4/Vita release a digital-only release at full price in a market that doesn't like digital).

Just listing the relevant games in order. You can thank 5pb. for the semicolon fixation.

Oh, I see. Thank you.
 
I would be super interested to try Steins;Gate on the Switch. Loved the anime, but never got it on PS4. I think it's been too expensive, or its not on PS4 LOL :p

I never thought VNs would get me excited about buying a Switch. Hopefully they'll get a few more that already have releases scheduled for Vita/PS4.

still pretty new to Gaf, but I can safely assume people don't like anime here

Anime is like the worst thing ever and every anime fan knows that.

Good to know, most of the new VN announcements don't excite me, but being the preferred platform for the genre after the PC could secure some sweet titles in the future and let us play them portably.

The PS4 version of the original was a limited offer that never left Japan. The follow-up, Steins;Gate 0, was the one that had a PS4 release in the West.

Yup anime is trash and so is everybody's waifu.

This is not the type of visual novel I want, but I guess it's a start.

Ace Attorney, Steins;Gate, that kind of stuff would be cool.

Vita devs moving to New platform aside, I think visual novels and adventure games in general can work well on the Switch, especially for playing on the go.
 
God that first one sounds rad, I want that so bad. I love the "whodunnit" genre but theres not much out there, and the one big one imo went to shit.

It's sad too (assuming we're talking about the same series) - 999 functioned very well as a standalone game ;_; VLR was fantastic but felt kinda empty without ZTD, and we all knew how ZTD went down....

Y'all are saying Vita is dead, but actually the Vita used the Soul Transfer Technique to take over Switch.

Vita means Switch now.

Knowledge is power, guard it well
Localizations would be huge. My hopes aren't high though.

First and third look dope, second one? No thanks.
