Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation getting Nintendo Switch release in Asia with English support [update: pre-orders]
June 2: Today, Eastasiasoft revealed that it will publish an English version of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation for Nintendo Switch in Asia with English support. English and Japanese voicework will be included along with English and Traditional Chinese text.
Previously, Idea Factory intended to publish the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth on Nintendo Switch in the west. However, that ended up being scrapped since the games “did not comply with Nintendo Guidelines.”
Here’s an overview of the game:
In the year 20XX, Gamindustri faces a dire crisis! Ever since the advent of ASIC, the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime, morality has all but vanished. As much as 80 percent of all students are rumored to worship a being known as Arfoire, the authorities have chosen to turn a blind eye to the threat. Thus did Gamindustri fall into complete and utter disarray, with the CPUs nowhere to be found!
It falls to Neptune’s younger sister Nepgear, along with IF and Compa to investigate what happened to Neptune and the rest of their friends. Will the goddesses and goddess candidates be able to reclaim their world from ASIC’s grasp, or will they be forced to wander the Gamindustri Graveyard forever? Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation is a remake of the cult classic Japanese RPG series’ second entry, now with all prior extras included, making it the definitive way to enjoy the game for newcomers and long-time fans alike!
