The Dating Simulator Dream Daddy Hooks Up With The Nintendo Switch

I need to tell my bf about this I'm sure it will be day 1 for him as well

Interesting ... just in time for Pride!

Lmao dad dating simulator. Alrighty then

I had fun with this on PC (dated the goth dad). Not really a dating sim player usually, but the writing was surprisingly good. Nice to see it coming to Switch!

I wonder if Nintendo's got the go-ahead with this. If this pops up with a demo version, I'd be more than happy to take it for a spin.

@Arcamenel You're gay as well? I wonder who else is gay.

Who's yer Daddy!?

This game is not for me. But I love that this exists on the Switch. lol

Not really into dating sims (unless it's Fire Emblem I guess?) or dudes.

I'll probably create my own daddy, otherwise would go with the leftmost one <3

For the people who don't know, this game was made in paertnership with Gamegrumps, a pair of letsplayers. Those being Arin Hanson, known also as Egoraptor who made a bunch of Newgrounds animation, one of the most popular being Pokeawesome. And Dan Avidan, the lead singer of NinjaSexParty.

As for the game itself, I'm not a huge fan of it. Nothing against the idea of a dad dating sim, but it wasn't done that well. The writing is cringy, especially since you play a "Cool" and "Laid' back dad who is also socially awkward. And you have a daughter who is more mature than you, and essentially she takes care of you. A premise that has been overdone to death in recent years. Not to mention that this game does not portray parenting in a good way. Basically every single dad in the game has a smart and responsible kid with no problems at all. Well except for "Quirky" problems thats just for comedic effect. There is only 1 time in the game where the protagonists daughter actually has a problem, but it's one of the most cliched and overlyused problems and it ends so fast that it does nothing to furtur her as a character, nor you as a father. Some may enjoy this game, but everything is either cringy or so overly used as a plot device these days that I just could not enjoy it.

Day 1!*

• this is intended as a joke 😂

Already played this with my partner on PS4 and it's really fun and light-hearted. I may actually buy it again for Switch

@patbacknitro18 Thanks for the info!
I think I'll take these daddies out for a ride, anyway. A couple of friends who played the game on PC really enjoyed it.

BTW @KingBowser you don't have to be gay to enjoy this game. Those two friends I mentioned are straight, though I'm more of an equal opportunity kind of person

I can related to the dad on the far right... looks a lot like me.

@Kochambra Fair enough. Again a lot of people enjoyed this game, I just found the writing to be a bit too "Millennial" for my tastes. Though if this selling well means we'll get more Gamegrump related game projects, then hey, I'm happy.

Not going to buy it.
And weird how fanservice for women gets less negative feedback than for straight guys, wish usual articles about ecchi games where this peacefull.

@KingBowser gay=good.as.you now with that said

@tobibra The sad reality is that fanservice games tend to rely a bit too much on the fanservice part and their makers neglect other aspects of the game, like the writing or the gameplay. It's like they're saying: "Hey guys! Our game has TITS! You don't need anything else, right?"
As an example, I played Senran Kagura Burst on 3DS because I love beat-'em-ups and I found it so soul-crushingly mediocre and dull that I don't think I played it for more than 4 hours, at most. But sure, it had plenty of tits.
Of course, not all fanservice games for straight guys are trash. The Bayonetta games are excellent, and even the fanservice aspect is so campy and over the top that I think it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of sexual preference.
But sadly, there seems to be an underlying cynicism to most fanservice games, where developers seem to think these games don't need to be any good, because players buy them just for the fanservice aspect.
Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case with Dream Daddy.

I’ve just seen Leisure Suit Larry is coming to Nintendo Switch too!

I choose the bear type on the right.

@tobibra
Comparing a game like this to ecchi is ridiculous and frankly, insulting.

@KingBowser I am too😁.

I'll pick this up for sure

Now we need Super Seducer too.

Hope there's a projects scenario too where the dream daddy doesn't stay a dream but actually stays and takes care of his responsibilities.

Games could do with more positive encouragement to empower the victims of current society if u aks me yo

This game is terrible btw

The let’s play with Nich and Steph (screenPLAY) on YouTube is absolutely brilliant.

@Xaessya Duuuude Super Seducer is amazing. More people need to know about that game.

@KingBowser another homo reporting for duty here 😘

Or, and hear me out on this one, go out on actual dates

Something that says, 'leather Daddy'?

Now this is third party support!

@Franklin “Oh, is there such a thing?!”

@KingBowser Bi, reporting for duty. Would be ok with Dream Daddies or Dream Mummies

@KingBowser Me! I'm playing this on Switch fur sure! Glad it's coming!

@tobibra Last time I checked, this was a gay dating sim. Pretty sure we don’t exist just to satisfy women..?

Not sure about the game... might pick it up later though. Anyway, I'd take the guy on the right for sure. No need to call him daddy though, as he's younger than me.

I like Goth Daddy. Dark and brooding on the outside, but sweet as caramel below the surface. We'll sit in the graveyard and talk about the impermanence of life. Our (adopted, I guess?) children will be beautiful vampires.

@nessisonett I assumed one of the main targets for this title is fujoshi. ( women who have a thing for gay guys) Of course gay people IRL does not, maybe this games i bara, idk.

My main point was, I wish comment sections for other fanservicy games were this friendly, we more or less always get coments about how "crap" the games or its audience is, or how emberrasing they are And its grating. This comment section is nice, I wish ecchi games with female characters didn't have to be a minefield of negativity so often.

I did like this game I thought it was good for one wild play through. Definitely will have some laughs.

Read the whole article and didn't realize the player character was a male too XD. And here I was thinking it was weird to release a game for ladies that like to date bachelor or divorced dads...now that would be a far more limited demographic 😅

Looking forward to when Arin directs his own game. Dream Daddy is lame.

Yes! I’ve been wanting to play this, Day One dL for me 😍

I would not play this game at all, but its funny.

Comments like '' i 'll never play this game'' or '' the game is not for me'' are pure crap .
Everyone is going to play this game either you are straight , gay or bi
Why? Because everyone needs a daddy . Each 1 for different reasons

That's awesome! I'm down for the red head bear 😍

@KingBowser @arcamenel I’m a gaymer as well. My hubby played this and enjoyed it on Steam. Maybe I’ll give it a go, haha! But I’m currently wooing all of the eligible men in Stardew Valley on Switch. Still, nice to see a game like this make its way to Switch!

It's a toss up between this and Panty Party.

#woooooooffdaddy

@KingBowser Gays represent! Good to see there's something for everyone on the switch

FFS knock it off with the "but games with boobs are bad?!" straw-man counterargument to the support for this game. Few people argue that sex or fan service are objectively bad. It's the extreme emphasis on fan-service for straight men that gets the most grief, and thus the goal is to aim for a level playing field of representation. In a perfect world both this game and Senran Kagura would be part of a vast and diverse cornucopia of sexy games for everyone. That we need to comment at all is evidence enough that we're very far from a perfect world, so the fight continues.

I actually really enjoyed the interactions with Amanda (your daughter).

The whole game was pretty sweet and funny.

@Firelork exactly they're reaching like crazy, this game is almost completely non-explicit and the sexualisation is nowhere near to the level of the things that he's refering to

Bad faith because 'muh poor straight people'

@LuciferOnReddit this is nowhere near as sexualised as Senran Kagura and it's the 1 in a million game directly designed for gay people. Get a grip.

I've heard this one is better than one would expect being a game grumps goofy dating sim thing. Probably gonna grab it when it goes on sale and give it a go.

I'll never understand people and their bigoted identity politics. "White straight men". Stop assuming anyone who isn't interested in this game is white, or even straight or homophobic. LGBT is all about diversity, which includes diversity of thought. Not every gay or bi person will buy into a game like this.

I'm still unsure about whether you play a dad yourself and date other dads, or whether you can imagine yourself to be whatever you want.
