Rice Digital has announced that it will be bringing a special edition of the upcoming visual novel Song Of Memories to the Switch this year.
A romantic visual novel with a dark and sinister underbelly, Song Of Memories is an adventure that will see players discovering the thrills of finding their soulmate in a musical love story. You'll need to prepare to fight for your love in the most testing of times, though, as an apocalyptic virus is sweeping across the world, threatening to infect those closest to you.
Called the 'Encore Edition', this newly announced bundle will include a whole host of extra items. Check out the full list below.
The Rice Digital Exclusive Song Of Memories Encore Edition includes:
- A copy of the game
- Collector's box
- Cloth screen cleaners with premium Song of Memories character artwork
- Four-disc soundtrack CD collection
- Penguin mobile phone charm
- Art book (which will be translated into English)
We are still yet to hear a specific release date for the game, although it is promised to launch sometime in 2018. Preorders for the Encore Edition have already gone live, with the bundle available in UK/EU and the US.

It's a pretty nice special edition but I find it hard to commit to spending more on a game than I need to when I'm not sure how much I'll like said game.
Thank goodness for 1-Up Mushrooms.
Trust the Japanese to make a game that eroticises the apocalypse.
@RyanCraddock I was wondering what's up with them. I did not realize it was one of those VNs
Is this a port? We'll find out soon enough.
so much NSFW stuff.
So wait...do the 1up mushrooms indicate that you get an extra life? I don't get it
Aren't the screen cleaners... redundant?
Surely the target audience for this sort of game would soil them, rendering them unfit for purpose.
Get the two on the left but the right one are just girls in bikinis? God forbid nintendolifers go to a beach or something.
I'd read that this 'Encore Edition' is $100. We have today's "Joke of the Day" winner.
@XenoShaun The first version of that picture had 13 Mushrooms.
surprised they didn't put a mushroom over upper left's head since it's basically got the same thing as why they censored the rest of the picture. No nudity on either for those curious, went and looked up the actual set to see what was actually censored with the mushrooms .
More like song of mammaries by the look of it.
The mushroom censorship is pretty funny, I'll admit!
This is a nice looking set. I'd be tempted by it if I didn't have a strict "game only" policy these days.
Still, can't wait for the actual Western physical release!
PQube is the hero we need in these dark times.
@TheLZdragon You make the sound effect when you see what they're hiding.
@WiltonRoots this is a port of a ps4 game released in Japan last year
"Climax Edition" is more like it
The fact that you felt the need to censor something that didn't need censored is pathetic, and will only contribute to our society's misguided view that the female body is somehow dirtier than the male body.
Eeeh, Am I right asuming you also gonna censor blood in the future too? Like that ad for a horror game (I assume) you had earlier?
Because a showing a bit of skin ain't that bad... Also for that bikini didn't you show Mario topless? Yes you did. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/01/the_race_to_get_mario_naked_heats_up_in_new_super_mario_odyssey_speedrun_record
As for one of the cloth screeners, its moste likely in the contexct cream. Chanses of youknowwhat in a Japanese game is quite low outside of H games. nd would likely be officialy censored anyway.
Can't believe they included screen wipes, appears somebody has a sense of humour. Good work.
Feel sorry for the Switches that have to be wiped down though. Those buttons will never function the same again.
A super mushroom or even mega mushroom would make more sense than a 1-up mushroom. 😉
DID NINTENDO LIFE CENSOR THIS?!! For realsies?!! Lol.
@Shiryu LOL I can't.
@WiltonRoots As stated earlier, sure it is indeed a port of an exclusively Japanese PS4 game from last year, but for the rest of the world, this is essentially a new game.
@TsukiDeity Kool cheers.
Are we all going to ignore the full soundtrack being included with the special edition? That's the real titillating detail here.
At this rate there'll be more Switch games with a collector's edition than without. So hard to keep up.
When I first saw that title with that thumbnail I thought those 1up Shrooms were art of the package! Then after reading into it a bit I found out it was just censorship and I was slightly saddened there are not 1up Shrooms in the EE, curse you NL for fooling me!
Joking aside I’m always up for a good VN and I want to see how dark the game gets along with the “censorship” apparently in the game. I’m a sucker for any form of special editions of games and will probably be getting this in the future.
@BRAINFOX
Any special edition with a FULL soundtrack added in is always a sign of good quality IMO and I fully agree that it is the highlight of this special edition.
I pre-ordered it a while back, any idea when it's actually releasing? It says September 2018 but I've heard nothing about it's departure or anything since I bought it
