Cosmic Star Heroine coming to Nintendo Switch in August (Digital + Physical)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Hey, I'm the developer of the Switch port at LRG and also handling the storefront for it - it is 100% coming for Europe and Aus+NZ, the store page hasn't been approved by NOE yet but we're hoping it'll be soon this week. That one will still have the same 10% preorder discount.
I was going to triple dip on the physical copy, but now I'm going to pre-purchase tonight!
Physical edition won't be until later (maybe not until 2019).
So glad to see this when I booted up the eshop today. Icon looks nice, too.
Now port Breath of Death 1-4 to the Switch. No need to bother with 4-6, those sucked. Just the classics.

Wasn't this the game where the devs were talking about how they didn't recoup their investment due to low sales? If so, hopefully the magic of the eShop gets them back in the black!
Sales weren't great, but I think after all the versions have come out, we'll be doing okay.

Sorry for the OT, but are you guys working on a new game right now? I recall you saying something about a game like CSH but with less characters to improve the writing.
We're starting work on a new game called Rx Machina. It's a comedy where you work at a hospital that uses mechs that miniaturize and enter patients to fight diseases. Some gameplay similarities to CSH.
I've been wanting to try this game forever, and the switch version will make me finally pull the trigger. I can't freaking WAIT for that physical copy to come out! Game looks amazing from everything I've seen.
That's what LRG said. They said they've got a lot on their plate scheduled for the rest of the year & they don't want the physical version of CSH to get overshadowed.
This is probably more a question to ask on Kickstarter, but will backers get advance notice like with the Sony version?

That sounds awesome! Could be a cool therapy/coping mechanism for kids fighting awful stuff in the hospital, too.
Decided I didn't want to wait for the physical release to play this game. Added myself to the pre-purchase.
The purchase lagged so much I saw the 'this page with redirect you' message as the eshop tried to process it.

The other day in an Octopath thread, I'd been gushing about Octopath's battle system—specifically how it challenged the player with its thoughtful combat/encounter design, rather than how (J)RPGs often test the player with dungeon resource attrition, if anything—and someone recommended Cosmic Star Heroine for that.
You've just sold me wholeheartedly with this comparison! I'm an enormous fan of the Lunar series and its charming tone, and between that and the combat, I'm quite excited to get your game in August. The Switch's lack of RPGs is quickly turning into abundance in the coming months.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. Gives them a chance to patch out any issues.
If you want to check out how well the game performs on Switch (very well - 60 fps + quick load times), Limited Run Games has put up the stream they did yesterday of the start of the game played on Switch.
Kept my word and pre-ordered as soon as it went up... Not playing on ps4 and the late vita release was hard!!
Jumping in day one!!!
Picked this up during Steam's Summer Sale, haven't started it yet. Really cool that it's coming for the Switch too!
Before Cosmic Star Heroine was planned for Switch I was a big proponent that the game would have been a good fit for Switch audience (Switch caters very clearly to gamers who like the '90s kind of games among other audience).
I will buy it and play it after Octopath Traveler.

Bought it twice on PC and PS4/Vita, and finally played it when it came out on Vita. It's definitely worth a purchase and playthrough, everyone :)
What are your current sales expectations / projections for the Switch port?
No expectations, but I'd be very pleased if we managed to reach 10k by the end of September. If we managed to break 100k by the end of the Switch's life, I'd be crazy ecstatic.
Question for the developer.....
There is a planet called Nuluuup you travel to later on in the game. On that planet,
Who is the artist that made the music track for this section of the game? The music throughout the entire game has been very very good, but this particular music track KICKS ASS!!!!! Love the the jazzy theme and arrangements. Wish it played in more parts of the game.

Chan gets to enter the shrine where she can take the Gunmancy trial. Upon entering the shrine, the music changes.
HyperDuck SoundWorks (Chris Geehan and Dan Byrne-McCullough) created all of the incredible music in the game :)
(Laura Shigihara did the vocals on the concert track)
HyperDuck also did the OST for Dust:An Elysian Tail, among others.

How are preorders/preloads looking? Good? Bad? Don't know?
Pretty good so far actually, based on what we know. Ultimately the actual release will be more decisive, but things are looking good.
