There are quite a few otome visual novels on Nintendo Switch already, and another one will soon join their ranks. Gunka o Haita Neko will launch in Japan on June 18; it will cost 7,150 Yen. The game sees Tama, princess of a race of cat people, having to choose between an arranged marriage or finding love with a mysterious human that appeared from the sky. An English localization hasn’t been announced so far, and it’s fairly unlikely that will change. The game has been released on a few other platforms so far and all releases have been Japan-only.

In Masahiro Sakurai’s most recent column in Famitsu, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director touched on the topic of COVID-19 (coronavirus) affecting the games industry. Sakurai stressed the difficulty the industry is facing when it comes to development specifically, because the nature of the job is handling very confidential material which can’t be taken home. He also expressed his concerns for workers with young children to look after (considering schools have been closed), as he says those people might be forced to take off work.

Of particular note to gamers, Sakurai vaguely detailed how COVID-19 has affected development on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC fighters. Apparently, some plans for a certain fighter have been put on hold for the time being.

You can read our full translation of the excerpts below.
