Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue to receive English release on Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Over a year ago, the visual novel Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue arrived on Switch in Japan. An English version is now in the cards following the latest Kickstarter success story.
NekoNyan, a company dedicated to visual novel localizations, recently opened a Kickstarter for a physical version of Aokana on PC. The campaign quickly raced past its €10,000 funding goal, and has done so well that the Switch version will be translated into English. The Switch release will be digital-only (at least as things stand now), but new features will be added: a music mode, sprite viewer, and voiceline bookmarker. No word on launch timing just yet.
You can keep track of Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue on Kickstarter here.
