NIS America announces The Longest Five Minutes for Switch

NIS America is further pledging its support for Switch. During a panel at Anime Expo, the publisher announced that The Longest Five Minutes is coming to the system early next year in both North America and Europe.

The Longest Five Minutes originally released in Japan last year as a PlayStation Vita title. Nippon Ichi worked with Syupro-DX on the adventure RPG that “will take you inside the mind of a hero during his final encounter with an epic and evil Overlord.”

More information about The Longest Five Minutes is below, along with a trailer.

NIS America is very happy to announce that we will be bringing The Longest Five Minutes to North America and Europe for the Nintendo Switch, as well as PlayStation Vita and Windows PCs via Steam in Early 2018.

About the Game:

Originally developed by Nippon Ichi Software and SYUPRO-DX and out for the PS Vita in Japan, The Longest Five Minutes will take you inside the mind of a hero during his final encounter with an epic and evil Overlord. As the story unfolds, the conversations you have with your party and the Overlord will unlock memories of the hero’s journey. Each memory plays out in classic 8-bit RPG style, and the outcome of those memories will lead to the strengthening or weakening of your party in their final battle.

About the Story:

Our hero faces the origin of all evil, the Demon King himself, but suddenly loses all memories of his adventure.

His finishing moves, the name of his hometown, and even the reason he’s trying to defeat the Demon King in the first place, are all gone.

Our hero feels as though he’s letting his allies down…In the midst of battle, his allies’ words and the Demon King’s taunts trigger flashbacks, bringing his memories back piece by piece. Our hero tries to regain his priceless memories before it’s too late, but the Demon King stands before him, his power unyielding!
