Survival Horror Corpse Party: Blood Drive Could Be Switch-Bound According To ESRB Rating

About time! This is one of those games that have such an interesting story that the blood and stuff I can deal with.

@ReaderRagfish I WOULD say that the fact "corpse" is in the title they get the message but I've worked retail. This will be amusing.

Great narrative and story progression in the game. Highly recommended to fans of horror and gore (and anime I guess).

I'll say this as a MASSIVE Corpse Party fan, and someone who platinumed this game on the Vita: don't expect much. It's not a good game.

Ralizah is right, it’s a mediocre entry in the series. The PSP games were great though.

I loved the first one on 3DS, but I have heard this one is not that good, even fans of the series didnt like it that much.

That's too bad, you gotta wonder why they pick the unpopular one to bring over.

Never played this one before.will pick this up when it comes out on switch.looks like a fun game

This one was a real big disappointment. I loved the story and lore of the first with the school. Second was a bit eh (VERY text heavy and ground retreaded) but was a nice spin on things.

Then this.. just threw all that awesome lore out the window for end of the world generic anime shinnanigans. It feels like one of the many mediocre "action" anime shows with some horror elements.

Oh well wonder if we will ever see Copse Party 2 come west? (If it hasn't already.. that one in the hospital). No clue if its ang good but the premise ages ago sounded decent.

This is NOT a good game, I say that as a big fan of the first.

I am using my time machine to send my money to the future so I can get this.

I'd love to see a physical release of a collection of these games on one cartridge.

@XenoShaun XSEED has announced that it's localizing Corpse Party 2.

The first game is masterful for what it is, and it makes brilliant use of its 3D audio. The second... I have some issues with it, but overall I felt like it was a good addition to the original game, and built on its foundations nicely.

Blood Drive barely even feels like a horror game, and there's way too much fanservicey nonsense in it.

The anime isn't a good adaptation, but it's a fun animated exploitation film, and I watch it at least once every year. Usually in a midnight showing at my local anime convention.

The manga is also WAY too fanservicey for its own good.

OMG OMG best news this week!!! I absolutely can't wait to see some bloods!

Still haven't played my vita version

since the video seems to not be working, I don't know what this game is like

@Bobb There's a Corpse Party on the 3DS, which I believe is a port of the original one which everyone says is good. As far as I know, that's the only one on a Nintendo system. I have it and it's OK, but it's not really my thing. It kind of plays like an old school RPG but with no fighting. You wander around looking for items to advance the story and appease vengeful spirits. The story is actually pretty good although it's surprisingly disturbing. I'm guessing none of these game really require any playing the others for the story to make sense, but I can't promise it.

@AlternateButtons
uhhh INNER? anyone who says they don't love ahegao is lying. to themselves.

@Bobb Just to add on to what was previously said: the original Corpse Party is available on 3DS, and it's the definitive version of the game. As was pointed out, it's a horror-themed adventure game that relies heavily on exploration. Another unique facet of the game is the binaural sound design, which means, if you play it with a headset or earbuds, it'll have a 3D quality to it.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive is a straight up sequel to the previous two games in the series (Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows), and enjoyment of it is heavily reliant on having played them, so even if this is released on Switch, I wouldn't recommend playing it on its own. If you own a Vita, all the games in the series are playable on that.

In a pinch, you could probably get away with just playing the first game followed by Blood Drive, but the final chapter of the second game is what sets up the events of Blood Drive.

There is also a stand-alone sequel called Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient that is exclusive to the PC and is supposedly being released overseas sometime in 2018.

First one is still the best. I don't recommend playing this one if you haven't played the first two.

@AlternateButtons
like a petri dish, yeah.

@Ralizah Am glad to hear its coming over finally. Is it still just PC bound? I wouldn't think it would be difficult to make it console bound (aside the benjamins). Though with the game not being CPU heavy my laptop should be fine to run it nonetheless. Just primarily do my gaming on consoles and Laptop is for work.

@XenoShaun PC only, as far as we know.

It's pretty basic looking. I think you'd need a real clunker for it not to run decently.

I played the 3ds version, not going to lie, I was super freaked out... don't play this game with earbuds on... actually you should play this game with earbuds on...but it'll freak you out.
