If you've ever wished you were more popular with members of the opposite sex then Inti Creates' Gal Gun 2 might be the game for you; it's headed to the Switch eShop later this year.
The Gal Gun series revolves around an "unlucky" young man who accidentally becomes supernaturally popular with girls. His mission: find his one true love! However, the girls at the academy all want their chance too, and will do whatever they can to express their love; he must use his new weapon, the Pheromone Shot, to fend off their advances by giving them euphoria.
Gal Gun games have sold over 200,000 copies worldwide, bringing laughs, shenanigans, and pantsu to fans around the world. With the same silly and irreverent style, but new characters and mechanics, Gal Gun 2 is said to represent a 'big step forward' for the series. Big enough for a number, even! This is actually the 4th game in the Gal Gun series.
This sounds like a particularly bonkers - but potentially fun - title; head over to our game page to check out some screenshots of the game and let us know what you think with a comment below.

"However, the girls at at academy all want their chance too,"
@Dazza Typo. What a ridiculous premise for a story. If only we all had "problems" like that.
Sounds exactly the opposite of my life.
I'm surprised, but not disappointed, that these games are coming to the Switch.
I thought Gal Gun was a Sony only series? Cool the sequel is coming, although the amount of DLC was crazy and overpriced!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Because blasting Zombies to bits is more realistic? XD
Incidentally I saw yesterday on Steam that there is a VR version of this, too... Was surprised that something like this would come from Inti... Not sure what to think.
i bought the first game by accident for the ps4 - my intention was to get it for vita. i played it for a bit, and it isn't as dirty as it's made out to be. maybe it's coz i'm male so i don't see it as dirty as a female would.
@RadioShadow I never claimed that it was.
Might check it out - the first game's conveniently on Vita (and mercifully localised there... I'm looking at you, Nights of Azure). But the release isn't as surprising after Ekoro herself showed up in other games' DLC on Switch. And you probably can't get any more fanservicy on a Nintendo platform than Senran Kagura games anyway - of which this platform's already getting two.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE most games do have silly stories but If it's a good entry for shooters I'll bite
Sooo... Tentacles, underwear, and corkscrew curls.
Or was that just the first game?
"to fend off their advances by giving them euphoria"
Lol, we all know what that means!
Probably some Cougar Effect going on there too! 😍 Dude can send the ladies my way if he's so bothered. 😄
Like, this sounds really funny and fun, but I also don't think I need all my friends list knowing I'd be playing it. lol
Sounds god awful...
Would this be controlled by the thumbsticks, or by 'touch' screen?
And this is the series Ekoro (Mighty Gunvolt) came from.
Please, I play video games to escape my life.
"If you've ever wished you were more popular with members of the opposite sex..."
Just assumes everyone reading the article is male
Very good news. Looking forward to it!
Wow, this might be even more uncomfortable adolescent fodder than Senran Kagura. I love Japanese sideways perspectives on things but sometimes I wonder how a culture that's so organized and disciplined to the point that situations that create sheer anarchy in the West are calmly and politely handled there can have these kinds of products that revel openly in their lack of decorum. Though to be fair, they're not exactly smiled upon publicly there either.
Great graphics,great looking gameplay,amazingly good mature story line...I'll be buying the Game Of The Year edition!
yey
@SLIGEACH_EIRE So true.
Thank God Gal games have started coming to the Switch! Now if only KonoSuba launched on the Switch too...
Shoot them with pheromones, and send them into euphoria? Okay! Anyone see Orgasmo? This sounds like the Orgasmorator gun they use on unsuspecting people making them instantly... well you know. Haha
Man, Inti Creates is killing it on Switch. I played the first game on Steam, and it is a surprisingly fun on-rails shooter. Not nearly as 'raunchy' as it could've been, too. You're not going to see anything in this game that is more shocking than in the usual anime.
Pretty much the only improvement I want in this sequel is a better translation. All dialogue in the original felt very stilted and was riddled with typos. Considering the improvement in dialogue between the original Gunvolt 3DS and the Striker Pack, I think I can trust Inti with this.
Science is trying way too hard to produce a real-life lightsaber. Why haven't we developed a gun that does this?
Really looking forward to this. It seems like a perfect fit for the Switch hardware. Double Peace was a lot of fun!
Oh hell yes, been wanting to play the first game! I remember seeing a booth set up for this game at a con, and sitting nearby said booth, it was just so fun to see all the different reactions from people as they walked past it. XD
Needs more bikini girls.
Be sure to play this in public! With the Switch, you can now take Gal*Gun with you wherever you go! Play Gal*Gun on the bus! Play Gal*Gun at the cafe! Play Gal*Gun at the library!
What could possibly go wrong?!
@OdnetninAges I'm sure other people's reactions would be worse with a Bubsy game, lol. Ok that's not true... seriously, other people would probably react as bad as they would with a Bubsy game lol
Lol awesome! You just hafta wonder why cupid always shoots people in the butt?
@BinaryFragger
omgs! X'D
@Jamotello
I'm female and I think its hilarious! Kinduva reverse pepe' le pew situation.
@OdnetninAges I have played the Vita game in public with no problem. So nothing in particular. Well, you could miss your buss stop.
This is the kind of [removed] game i wish could stay in Japan (and preferrably not there either). Sexist crap.
@JoakimZ Please watch your language.
@Octane Sorry, I was a little mad when I wrote the comment and I wanted my words to reflect that. However, English is not my native language and I did not know that it was such a sensitive word. It won't happen again
Just pre-ordered mine at VGP.CA!
