Thanks Lite_Agent!
Out in September for 6 480 Yen + taxes.
Out of fucking nowhere! O_o What's the verdict on this game?

I didn't expect this being ported to Switch. I wonder if this increases the odds of the game being localized.

It'll be up there as one of the most beautiful game on Switch alongside with Ark.

Yep, neither had Irem's meatier games. We've seen Lode Runner Legacy and Spelunker Party! on Switch so far though.
Is this an in-house engine? Then again, Ark was UE4 and Broforce was Unity
I think it's the first time anything in the Disaster Report series has appeared outside the Sonyverse.
I assume the OP using the Disaster Report name is for convenience, and everything they're using is using the Zettai Zetsumei Toshi branding?
Is the After Story DLC coming to the Switch version also? Ideally it'd be included in the cart by default since it's out a few months later.

They should adopt the DS approach instead.
I look forward to Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4: Strange Weather Induces Terrifying Cataclysmic Hazards.
I love this series. I truly do. Disaster Report and Raw Danger! make up a couple of my favourite PS2 games ever.
Really hoping this gets an English translation.

That's City Shrouded in Shadow. That came out before this did, but it seems like its chances of getting localized are close to nonexistent at this point due to all the licensing.
Granzella game means it will never come out of Japan. These guys don't want the rest of the world to enjoy their games
Thanks, and that's a shame.
Also the official site for Disaster Report 4 has an English version so that seems like maybe a good sign??
I guess Granzella couldn't be the heir to Irem if they didn't replicate everything they were famous for, right down to the awful framerates.
I'm not convinced that trailer content is actually running on a Switch. It looks too good to be true (both in visuals and framerate). It's already a slideshow on PS4. With similar visuals, it would be Disaster Report 4 fps for Nintendo Switch instead.
I don't remember DR4 running that bad on PS4. 30FPS, felt like 60FPS sometimes. Didn't drop anywhere near as bad as City Shrouded in Shadow did in places (now that was a mess, but oh so good at the same time, so I can forgive it). Only part of DR4 I remember running really bad was in one area early on in the game with dozens of NPCs walking about. Then a bridge collapses crushing the NPCs and the frame rate fixed itself. So it all evened itself out!
The game itself is ok. I really didn't like the endings one bit, the rest of the story I liked up to that point. But the game focuses more on the drama, less on the set pieces, so anyone expecting the game to be as set piece heavy as DR1 or 2 would probably be disappointed.
I preferred City Shrouded in Shadow myself, that game runs worse but has some awesome set pieces with lots of Kaiju.

They're planning a western release for R-Type Final 2 at least.
Basically each game has you stuck in a city that suffers a natural disaster (first, third and fourth games are earthquakes, second game is a massive flood, City Shrouded in Shadow is Godzilla - no really!)
Gameplay wise is just you trying to survive as you unravel the plots mystery. The games all have a great sense of humor as well, with some fantastic dialogue choices that could involve stealing a Chef's hat as he holds on for dear life.
The games are janky - both in controls and performance, but they have an odd charm to them, very unique and very fun to play.
I didn't realize I needed a portable earthquake survival simulator until today. If Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories gets an English localization, whether through an official Western release or a multi-language Asian release, I'll pick it up on Nintendo Switch. I haven't thought about Disaster Report since the ye olde PS2 days but I'd relish an opportunity to play the latest game in the series.
Conspiracy plots. Each crazier than the last. It makes sense when you play the games.
I was hoping that XSEED would've localized the PS4 version since they lost Falcom and kind of aren't releasing much in general these days.
