Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind localized in English for Nintendo Switch, May 14th

[Lothars]

This is exciting to see, I don't know much about them but look forward to playing them.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I am so fucking excited for this.

 

[Instro]

Only first party thing I was excited about tbh. Glad it's coming over.

 

[awake4ages]

This was the best looking thing in that direct.

Click to shrink...

between this and Mario Golf, but I think I agree

 

[Zombine]

I'll do my part and buy these

 

[Delaney]

With the two remakes being sold separately, I assume this is a digital-only release.

 

[Semajer]

Fuck yeah. Now do Bond.

 

[bytesized]

Most interesting game from the whole presentation. I hope they're not too expensive

 

[leder]

Awesomely unexpected, I was sure we were going to get the shaft again.

 

[Razmos]

This looks really good, definitely on my list. Love the art style and theme, gives me big Higurashi vibes

 

[Wanderer5]

Probably the highlight for me. Interesting history here, and the remakes look great. Think I will check out one of them at launch.

 

[GamerJM]

Extremely glad this is finally getting localized.

 

[Shizuka]

Two new visual novels developed by 5pb, I'm in.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

this and triange strategy were the announcements of the show for me.

 

[rickyson33]

so how good are these?

seems like something i'd be interested in on the surface and they did a pretty good job with them graphically from the looks of it as well but never heard of them before today

 

[Bulebule]

I was actually pretty impressed how great they looked. Always wanted to play Famicom Detective Club-games and I'll finally get my chance. Neat.

 

[Tavernade]

I'm absolutely pumped for these! I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[Deleted member 11008]

Best new in the direct

 

[Morisaki]

Totally unexpected, but yes!

 

[kodax_shc]

Most unexpected news. Very welcome.

 

[GingerbreadMan]

Never been so excited for a remake lol I really, really feared Nintendo wouldn't localize this, happy to have been proved wrong!

 

[K Samedi]

The music really got me. Never played these games so I will dive into them day one.

 

[BlueManifest]

What did the original ones release on?

 

[BasilZero]

Not familiar with this series but will look into it

 

[Herb Alpert]

So this looks really interesting. It's really great to see them coming West.

...the famicon

 

[Jawmuncher]

This was the biggest news from the Direct for me. Really thought they'd screw us over and not localize it.

 

[AnonymousApple]

I'll have to get around to these at some point.

 

[Cheesebu]

Any word on prices?

The Famicom in 1988

 

[lemonade]

Gotta say these games are the most interesting games to come out of the direct besides the Octopath strategy game.

 

[Tanuki-Go]

What did the original ones release on?

Click to shrink...

On the Famicom Disk System. There was a 16-bit remake of the second game that was on the Super Famicom Satellaview, too.

 

[Vampirolol]

I'm very excited about these games especially the second one which looked creepy. Do these have some special gameplay mechanic or are they basically visual novels?

 

[Juryvicious]

Completely unexpected. Loved the trailer.

 

[Kyonashi]

So have these not had a Japanese release yet? There's no impressions of the quality of the port?

Definitely interested if this is a strong modern update, I imagine Ace Attorney fans will find a lot to love here?

 

[Man God]

Super duper excited. I love old timey adventure games.

 

[FormatCompatible]

i played the fan translation of the SFC one, is that any of these? hype either way!

Click to shrink...

The Girl Who Stands Behind is that one. It's the second game in the series though the story is a prequel. Funnily enough this will be the second remake of that game after the translated one you played.

 

[B. Spaceman]

This and Legend of Mana are the only things that have made me excited in the whole Direct... Do you guys think there will be a japanese physical edition, maybe with english text?

[DECK’ARD]

No English support on Japanese version :(

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I need this game sooner. It was probably the most exciting game of the direct for me.

 

[eZipsis]

They aren't seperate, at least not on the AUS store. For the two games it's $90 AUD

 

[Wayoshi]

Any word on prices?

Click to shrink...

$35 separately, $10 dollar discount if you buy a second game, so effectively a $60 "experience"

 

[jokkir]

Definitely getting this. I guess it's something like Danganronpa/Phoenix Wright? Looks really interesting
