Name is apparently あなたの四騎姫教導譚.

BriBri's got the scoop it seems. Apparently this is the game N1 opened a teaser site for:

I'll update the OP as more info comes.

 

[PantsuJo]

Uh, what is the correct translation of the name? ^^'

 

[Itsuki]

Your 4 Knight Princesses Instruction Talks?

 

[Soph]

Your 4 Knight Princesses Instruction Talks?

I don't know what I expected, it wasn't that though

 

[vato_loco]

They haven't announced the official name yet, so any translation would be speculation. But yeah, The 4 Instruction Talks Knight Princesses sounds about right.

 

[Ravelle]

NIS is usually a hit or miss with their games, hope this one's good.

 

[Shizuka]

I wonder if NIS will release all the Switch ports NISA is doing for the West.

 

[Strings]

NIS is usually a hit or miss with their games, hope this one's good.

Waaaay more miss lately imo. But yeah, hope they find their footing again soon.

 

[Grim Patron]

Switch. 👌👌

 

[FDC1]

Your 4 mentoring princesses or something

 

[BasilZero]

Hmm so I'm guessing Switch/PS4/PC in the west eh?


Dat game title though....

 

[cj_iwakura]

So it's Summer Lesson: Boy's Side?

 

[sinonobu]

Guess NIS will go full Switch support now.

Nice nice

 

[BrokenJohnCena]

Erm,can we date those four princesses or nah?

 

[chronic_archaic]

Err.....

 

[-Horizon-]

Localize it and I’ll most likely buy it.

 

[TheLegendaryN]

What would the world be like without lovely

Spoiler

Added, thanks!

 

[Shizuka]

Development is being handled by the staff behind Penny-Punching Princess. Character design is being handled by The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 character designer Madoka Hanashiro.

Meaning it's one of their smaller-scope titles.

 

[Surfside]

That would certainly qualify as the worst title for a game, i have ever heard.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Famitsu finally put up the preview of the game on their site, check the top of the OP.

 

[chrono01]

Getting a "Witch and the Hundred Knight" feeling from the screenshots(not just the art but the gameplay itself). It look interesting though, I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Site now says it'll open on the 19th in Japan.

 

[AniHawk]

Nice nice

this is the start, yes.

also, pray for penny-punching princess and the longest five minutes. future localizations ride on their performance.

 

[NateDrake]

Those will be tougher sells but I'd imagine expectation is grounded and not something extravagant.

 

[ClearMetal]

Wait, there's a The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2? Dammit, I still need to play the first one.

As for this game: it looks interesting, I guess. I do hope the princesses, or whatever they are, aren't just walking anime tropes. Their description in the Gematsu link above does give that impression.

 

[hongcha]

Looks interesting. If I get it I'll probably go for the Switch version. But I bet it sells best on Vita.

 

[sinonobu]

Pre ordered LE for both of them.

Hopefully they sell well

If this gets localized Switch ver will probably be the best selling sku

 

[AniHawk]

this is also true.

The Switch version of those have a big advantage of having exclusive retail releases. Lots will buy them JUST for that alone over the other versions.

I pray myself that those do well enough. NIS is a great company to have on Switch IMO. Especially in the absence of the larger JRPG devs.

Do we know how Touhou Kobuto V has done so far on Switch?

 

[AniHawk]

Do we know how Touhou Kobuto V has done so far on Switch?

way better than the ps4 version. this is a consistent theme so far with a lot of ps4/switch games.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

way better than the ps4 version. this is a consistent theme so far with a lot of ps4/switch games.

Switch is the new Vita, but even better for niche Japanese games.

 

[Vinnk]

NIS American localizes most titles eventually right?

 

[cj_iwakura]

NIS American localizes most titles eventually right?

Lol, nope. Maybe 50/50. Maybe.

 

[Tohsaka]

NIS American localizes most titles eventually right?

They never localize their internally developed Visual Novels, and some of the other games are a crapshoot too.

 

[sinonobu]

Lol, nope. Maybe 50/50. Maybe.

I'd say it's higher now since these titles are actually having healthy sales on Switch.

If Penny-Punching Princess and Longest 5 Minutes sell decently I don't see why NIS wouldn't bring these titles.

Especially when their games are not selling well in Japan at all.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

way better than the ps4 version. this is a consistent theme so far with a lot of ps4/switch games.

Hopefully they'll port over Gensou Wanderer if it's doing that well.

Edit: And on topic, it looks decent. Not sure I'm the biggest fan of the princess designs, but if the gameplay looks fun I'll grab it.

 

[Hero of Legend]

DAMN, fantastic to hear! Thanks!

 

[Hero of Legend]

It actually exists, but Aqua Style said there weren't plans for a full release:

Edit: Double posted...

 

[foxuzamaki]

Looks cute

 

[NateDrake]

That is encouraging news. Are both on their way to reach expected sell-thru in the territory?

Seems like they showed the Switch ver off not too long ago

I saw, but no-one covered it (I tweeted it to Gematsu even...) so it was hard to know.

This shocked me,i saw that game on the eshop yesterday and surprised how I heard just nothing about coming to switch

 

[CielTynave]

Yeah I'm kind of annoyed they haven't bothered with Exile Election, although I suppose they wanted to focus on Danganronpa instead.

 

[Vinnk]

Lol, nope. Maybe 50/50. Maybe.

Thanks. I guess I have only really been following the SRPGs.

Where is the best place to pre-order Penny-Punching Princess and Longest 5 Minutes?

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Amazon if you have Prime. They're $32 each after discounts.

Well, unless you want the collectors editions.

i doubt it.
