Update: We’ve learned some new details about the game thanks to Gematsu. The Switch version will feature over 100 songs, including ones that weren’t present in the smartphone version. The game will launch in March in Japan for a price of 2,314 Yen.
A new Switch game was just revealed via Famitsu – Voez, a rhythm game developed by Flyhigh Works, in which you get to play various songs and get to experience the lives of the six youthful members that make up the titular band. The game is actually not new, but seems to be a port of a smartphone game that was released a while ago. According to Famitsu, development on the game is 99% complete, so it’ll likely be released fairly soon. While it has only been announced for Japan at the moment, the smartphone version also has English language support, so a Western release does not seem unlikely.
