Love this GIF.
You literally named one of the few games of that type that has appeared on a Nintendo platform.

Isn't that western VN also just recently announced for switch? Like RAM or something

The classic 'Murder Club' remastered to launch next week in Japan. It's a port of a IOS version .

When I saw that game on the eShop after the other ones already announced I was like, "Man, I'm going to be missing out on so many visual novels."

What does NOA have to do with anything? Are they stopping someone from localizing these games?

Necrobarista looks pretty cool. I haven't played a VN before, unless Phoenix Wright counts, and will probably pick this up, if the price is right and word of mouth is good.

Does "bring this to the US" count as port begging? I know port begging is a plague when it comes to the Switch so I just want to be sure

Never played the VN, but the anime will always have a special place in my heart (not the OVA's).
So would be pretty down for a Switch version, especially since I don't really care for H-scenes.
More on topic, glad stuff like this is coming out on the Switch, never owned a PS3/4/Vita so I missed out on a lot. Murder Club looks interesting.

Don't think the buck stops with NoA on what Visual novels are allowed in the US market and what gets translated.

Murder Club looks awesome and is something I would like to see localized.
Im sorta wary on taking recommendations for this type of game on GAF though. The last time I did, it ended up being some bizarre disabled person sex game.

Someone please tell me Murder Club is coming out in the US...
I hope it is. I'll buy that day one. I always wanted to get it for my TG-16 back in the day, but couldn't find it in the store when I finally got mine. This would give me another chance to play it since my TG-16 doesn't work anymore.

Clannad was always an all-ages VN. It doesn't have any H-scenes to cut.
Yeah I'm starting to think after we are long gone and buried the gif will be around in one form or another.
It's the spin-offs you would need to worry about

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Corpse party is on 3DS
All of those games, except maybe that iOS murder club game, have either been released on Vita or will be released on Vita. So the comments about how this shows Switch is replacing Vita don't make sense. PSP got VN ports for years after the Vita launched. I expect a similar pattern here.
Personally, I would prefer playing VNs on my Switch, so I am glad they are coming. Unfortunately none of these games look very good.

Nice, did not know that! Is that the same for other Key games as well (like Kanon)?
Gotcha, so no need for me to worry at all.
Edit; Just checked, no on a lack of H-scenes for Kanon. Clannad was different.

I sorta understand what your saying here but really. Even by your own example the psp get vita did in fact replace it. No one was saying the switch was going to completely replace the vita over night or even so .

Do I want to spend ¥864 on Murder Club? Any reviews?
I adored the first game on Vita. I'd happily double dip for it on Switch, even more so if 2 is bundled with it.

Do VNs tend to have a furigana setting?
Seems like a way to slowly expand my vocab.

1080p 60fps or no sale.
Tell me which one in the OP looks like soft porn because I can't see any.
I see some cleavage and exposed belly. BOOM.
I live in California. I guess I live in soft porn because I see cleavage and exposed belly every day on the street.
Lucky you. I'm lucky if I see an exposed elbow.
Not even in the morning when girls are jogging? You need to get up earlier. Anyway, it's not soft porn.
Nah I'm joking lol. This in no way is soft porn I know that.
On topic: Necrobarista looks interesting to me hope it's story comes out good.
Google "Song of Memories", click "characters and gallery" on the official website.

Please, just let it have more interesting visual novels. Not a big Ace Attorney fan.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I don't think they do for the most part, sadly. They're sort of like light novels, where you might get readings for given names or more obscure words, but only the first time they're used.
As for these announcements, I'm glad the Switch's going to be getting some VNs since the lack of a region lock on it makes it that much easier to get them if you wanted. The 3DS eShop did have many VNs in it (such as Higanbana part 1, which I got), but then again a vast majority of them never saw the light of day on the US or EU eShops.
