Visual Novels Based On 'The Quintessential Quintuplets' Anime Come To Switch Next Week

I don't expect much from it story wise (anime was fun)

And it's digital only and on PC in the west, so I am in no hurry to get it, also Tsukihime is around the corner so waiting for that.

Hard pass. I enjoyed the first half of the anime, but the ending was an absolute turd that made no sense at all.

This anime was so interesting, it spawned its own subgenre of romance anime and there's an endless amount of merchandise of its characters, but the original author only wrote enough manga for two seasons and half a movie, then he was done.

It's a decent watch, a very short guessing game really. I don't know much about the games but I'm glad they're finally getting Western releases. Not paying $60 for them tho

This has to be fake! An anime game on the Switch? That's unheard of!

Why can't we this physical release?

I had no interest despite liking the show until I saw the developer.
Now I’ll definitely check them out at some point.

It's MAGES, so its going to have high quality art and CGs with some decent humor. Not my personal cup of tea though as I haven't seen the anime nor read the manga.

@NinjaNicky A LISENCED anime game on switch is pretty rare, assuming you're not from Shounen Jump.

Considering a lot of older licensed seasonal games are making the jump, I'm genuinely wondering whenever Ryuo no Oshigoto is gonna make the jump westward, since the switch version also contains more scenes not in the light novel or anime.
Physical of course

Cool cool cool.

But the realest question now; can I be team Miku? Everybody knows Miku is best girl. (Followed closely by Nino and Yotsuba)

As a technical only child I think it would be cool to have 4 sisters. We’d be like the Sailor Senshi, but family.

I am assuming this is a harem anime (which is squicky for me) so I will be skipping this one.

Nice i'll be able romance best girl Miku!

This is a anime I tend to get to eventually so I wil, probably wait then before considering the visual novel.

Really loved the Anime. Who knows if I will get this or not though. Still need to watch the second season.

I enjoyed the Anime. Visual novels are perfect for portable play. Digital only is disappointing. After a price drop, I'll get it on Steam and play on my Deck oled instead.

@Samalik there should be a filter system on the Switch to hide janky games because I reckon I've missed so many good hidden gems because the dodgy ones put me off. Open the eShop and look at what's new and I bet there's half a dozen hentai games on there.

Yeah one man 5 wives...hmm????

@NinjaNicky
Ahem As someone who's cultured in Japanese H-games, I can assure you that if they have to put "hentai" in their titles, they're not real "hentai". That's a western misinterpretation on the word you won't find them much in actual Japanese titles. So that's already a dead giveaway that they are playing the "nametag" game, not helped by the fact that actual eroge is a lot more premium in art and tone, such as Nekopara and Kimagure Temptation.

And no, you cannot hide them. The real issue is that Nintendo's approval system has no standards. Not even having a cultured manager on the topic of sexuality come in and filter actual eroge and doujinshi efforts out from the slop rip-off AI generated puzzle games.

I never thought this would come to the west. Most of these don't make it to the west but it is a big enough audience and the anime sales/merch I assume they went eh why not.

I mean I'm interested but is it physical hmm. Ah cheapening out with digital sigh well thanks time to wait it out then on a digital purchase. I don't import and I doubt an Asian English release?

Or they take ages cough Date A Live trilogy Rio Reincarnation which surprised isn't on Switch yet not just because of the PS4 censoring of 2 scenes just surprised it wasn't ported to Switch at all.

It's not the best harem anime ever but I'm still buying the manga and own S1, 2 and the movie (haven't seen the specials yet) of the anime.

While I got spoiled, didn't care then saw the movie and went so..... because first one (not Itsuki as he annoyed her but such and such because first sight and I guess always listened to him yeah.....) The ending is like really safe and kind of bad but eh the rest was fair.

Also pink haired mystery in S2.

I'll take to this game out of curiosity. I mean even the Oreimo/Haruhi/Toradora games on PSP were passable of mechanics and story I guess.

Haven't bothered to look for Japanese let's plays IF they can even post them. But a Love Plus successor this could be I'm even more interested in it now than just oh dialogue with the characters or other gimmicks. Been wanting a Love Plus or the study or other choices system in some form for years to get a comeback or some kind of return/attempt again. Working for the effort I'm in.

Team Miku even though I'd go all routes anyway.

@IceClimbersMain It spawned it's own sub genre? Did it? What a quintuplets sub genre? Or something else. I haven't come across a sub genre that did.

I mean harems are nothing new and even then I noticed ones like teasing series such as Takagi-san (another one from the same mangaka the Ayumu Makes His Move) starting it then Nagatoro, Kubo and Doujima-kun wa Doujinai or probably some others.

But subgenre what series are part of this sub genre? I know Quintuplets is popular and it is more tame than most harems but still. Even then the doujins are fine too with some fair side stories (not talking fan service doujins either).

Then again as popular as it is my licensors said it was a sleeper hit of 2019 on the S1 blu-ray so what do they know. XD

@JohnnyMind It's pretty good. It is overrated but I still enjoyed it. It is a tame harem so don't expect a lot of annoying fan service (it has brief moments) and a lot of de-railing it does get to the point pretty well. So I think it's usually a safe bet series to experience.

If the studying parts don't bother you (like say a We Never Learn I think could be comparable there of study focus) then you'll be fine.

It has it's fun moments using the characters and exploring them/situations they go through of living in high school circumstances and it's serious moments.

Visual novels can get a bit particular though of pushing a bit further sometimes then main series do of some scenes even for being new series only in the visual novels.

The menus and stats focus is like straight out of Love Plus on the DS a dead Konami series. So to me this looks like it could be good. It fits the theme of the Quintuplets studying focus of the series but it also seems like it will make us work for things, I'm all for it after seeing the screenshots. Most are just dialogue choices or DAL's map and choices. So having stats is great to see then the dialogue format that seemed pretty safe or your had other mechanics like the Toradora cleaning or the Oreimo conversation system so who knows.

Haven't bothered to look for Japanese let's plays IF they can even post them. No idea the content in it.

@Ryu_Niiyama It's a more tame harem so I find it's a better starter. You have like what tiny fan service moments but it's very tame compared to most harems and it is usually on point with it's story and fun moments with the characters as far as a high school, what situations they come across of living (without spoiling) themes and relationships the characters have.

Visual novels however yeah I'd agree there they do go way further and that's not because of eroges that's just how some dating sims are they have some weird scenes in them (that's not even counting the dating later arcs I just mean main storyline scenes, at least in the few I've come across and still fit the teen rating) so I don't disagree with people skipping them not just because of the reading but instead reading manga or watching the anime instead.

Though the VN looks like Love Plus with the stats and choices so making players work for it then just dialogue or some other gimmick mechanic eh could be something but themes/content no clue. Haven't bothered to look for Japanese let's plays IF they can even post them.

@Sadist Team Miku indeed.

@SuntannedDuck2 ok. I just have no interest in harem stories. Tame or not. Like I said, that is squicky for me. So I’ll be skipping this game.
