Neko Works confirmed that it is bringing its visual novel series Nekopara to Switch a short while ago, and it has now been revealed that the Nintendo port will benefit from additional content.
Set in a world where humans live alongside catgirls known as "Nekos", Nekopara has already been a considerable success on Steam, selling over a million copies since its launch in 2014 - despite the fact that, as a game, it offers an incredibly limited amount of interactivity. Must be those catgirls, we guess.
The Switch version will have updated graphics, a new theme song, and even some new story episodes. The original game was released in censored and uncensored versions - the latter containing nudity and sexual themes - so we'd guess that the Nintendo edition will be the former rather than the latter.
The release is confirmed for Q3 this year, and given that an English-language version of the PC original exists, there's a chance we could see this come to the west. Let us know if you're interested by posting a comment below.

I am not interested.
Old news. Over a week old in fact.

Edit: I fixed the link. Don't know why it went to that random page.
A student is totally into cat girls. Too bad she doesn't have a Switch. Will probably go for the PC version.
I on the other hand, will also pass on this game. Cool that plenty visual novels are making their way to the Switch, though.
hmm... -3-

Never heard of visual novels before, Damien?
The "censorship!!1!!1" crowd is just what we needed... thanks, Xenoblade 2!
Maybe by some miracle we'll get a decent otome game too if this proves successful (or better yet, Coming Out On Top -let me dream-) so w/e, do your thing cat girls.
Giggity.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE maybe instead of constantly contributing to Gonintendo and Nintendolife, start your own site?
I would love some visual novels on Switch. Not this one exactly, but it’s a start.
Possibly censored? Dammit, I only bought the Switch so I could play porn-ish games in a train or a plane...
Cute design but that'll be a pass, I'd rather bet on gameplay oriented video games
@SLIGEACH_EIRE For starters you've linked to a forum topic about NX (??) and secondly, the news that the Switch version is getting extra content IS new news.
But thanks for the incredibly valuable comment, all the same.
Not my cup of tea.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You've been harsh these days. Something happened?
IF you like “saucy cat girls” Nia is the best one, so just get XC2.
Night In The Woods is the only catgirl game I need.
Mae Borowski is best waifu
I suggest reading the steam reviews on this game, their the best
@Damo I actually also have read more than a week ago that it will get ported to Switch and PS4 and that it "will have a new theme song, additional CG, new episodes, and more." So it is not really new news. It was from an article of 28-1-2018 at Gematsu.

I'm guessing the nudity wouldn't be too extreme for a PEGI 18, and Switch already has several games with that rating, so I don't see why this couldn't arrive in its true form. Most people who are interested in this would probably want the uncensored version, and so wouldn't be put off by a high rating.
@MajorTom Ah, right. That wasn't the link I spotted / sourced in this case.
Regardless, a comment that says "this is old news" is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. That's what annoyed me with the initial comment.
@RusevDay I would pay for the site's domain just to see him go away
...Nia DLC when?
@Damo I fixed the link. I don't know why it had that wrong address. Sorry but this has been known about for just over a week. And the "new news" ISN'T actually new.

@Damo No problem, I appreciate the work you people do here. I just wanted to inform about it.
I love catgirls! Come on Nintendo, give it to us uncensored. LOL
@Azooooz now he likes the Switch his toxic attitude has to spread to something else, he can’t be happy like a normal person.
Might be interested if it's the censored version simply because I love VNs and the Fate series taught me never to write something off because it has h-scenes (seriously, I didn't play the Fate VN for years for that reason, under the assumption the plot would be mindless).
Would like to see Steins Gate on Switch released here. Would gladly triple dip for that.
extra content is total recall style fan service 3 for the price of 2 lol
Not sure what point an adult game has after it's censored, it feels like an unnecessary restriction. I'm not a fan of this type of game but if I were, I certainly wouldn't gravitate to a censored port.
Played Vol 1 and 0 on Steam, it's mostly cute cat girls doing cute things, not my cup of tea. Artwork is beautiful though...
I rather see other visual novels coming to the Switch, like Clannad or Grisaia.
Oh joy, a hentai game...-.-
Day 1 buy for me. Pretty sure someone will figure out a way to put the "other" content onto switch version eventually lol.
@MetalKingShield You'd actually be guessing quite wrong. The nudity in this game is not mild in the slightest, it's fully fledge hardcore pron. The uncensored version would get a AO (Adult Only) rating here in North America, and both Sony and Nintendo do not allow AO games on their systems (I'm not sure about M$ and their xbox and they clearly allow it for windows).
If the game is indeed PEGI 18, my guess is that it's sexual content will be mild enough to reach M for Mature here but enough to make it PEGI 18 rather than 16.
@FTPinkRabbit Some people just like romance visual novels and don't need any of the extra naughty stuff. Even some women like VN like this but they also don't want the extra stuff. As long as removing the AO content doesn't ruin the story then it's fine. The price should be cheaper too! haha
@TsukiDeity
But I know a lot of women in some circles that love the naughty stuff in these games. :3
Already got these on PC but if they can improve everything though, that'll be great. Just hope that the Sakura games stay far away as those are the lowest of the low for effort and non-interactivity. I've been gifted every single one of those garbage games as gags.
Long live the Queen and the Princess Maker games would be great on Switch as well. Hatoful Boyfriend as well (lol).
@SnowFox Eh, there are more efficient and faster methods for that, but I'll leave that to your imagination.
Portability means you can take this somewhere private, and the kickstand allows you to, ahem, have a hands free approach?
I'll be off.
Tumblr bloody loves this game. Lots of... mature fan art.
It's already been localized on PC so I imagine that even if it doesn't get a western release, the Japanese one will support English.
I might have to play this on my alternate account. XD
C'mon, give us uncensored catgirls!
Cya
Raziel-chan
Nintendo finally getting those mature games
I like how the Switch is now replacing the Vita as the weeb machine. At least we don't have to deal with the memory card problem.
@Joeynator3000 They will likely cut out the H scenes in the Switch version. (Thou Nintendo should just allow that kinda stuff when they allow super-violent games)
Cat girls is not my thing but I'm gonna buy this game.
Hunie Pop is next, I can feel it.
"Cat's got the cream"
...
Ok Nintendo
Ok
Lol, its one of those games again...
@TsukiDeity I'm well aware people can enjoy romance, but if they didn't like saucy stuff they wouldn't be buying it. This is one step down from releasing a supercut edit a porno for people who only enjoy the plot. Personally, anytime one platform gets a censored or incomplete version of a game I more or less write it off and ignore it. Unless it's the only option of course, like with FE Fates.
