PQube and localisation team NekoNyan have revealed that Aokana - Four Rhythms Across the Blue will receive a western launch on Nintendo Switch.
For those not in the know, this visual novel is all about dreams, sports, and love, as well as plenty of anime girls flying through the skies and - according to the trailer above - the odd bit of playing around with guns with hardly any clothes on. We've got an official description for you below:
The story of Aokana plays in a world where science finally did it and invented anti-gravity shoes! With the dreamlike ability to freely fly through the skies, a form of sport called Flying Circus became popular, where athletes soar through the air to score points.
Slip into the role of Masaya, a former competitor, that encounters the new transfer student Asuka who strives to learn how to fly. Get involved in the Flying Circus sports club, support the ambitious girls and eventually end up with your own head in clouds!
We don't have an exact release date just yet, but we do know it'll be launching on PS4 in the west, too. That song's going to be stuck in our heads for the rest of the day now.
Will you be keeping an eye out for this one? Let us know if you're excited to see it come to the west with a comment below.

Finally, I can put away my Japan version to play english.
I've been waiting for this! Censored or not I hope more and more VNs come to the Switch.
"Sports"
I dunno.
This one was for a long time one of the visual novels I wanted to get, I even planned to buy it soon on PC but considering how long I have waited, I'll get it for the Switch (Switch is becoming the perfect VN handheld nowdays, PS Vita had some solid VNs in english but most of the better ones were in Japanese only, Switch solved that issue nicely as a lot of devs port good VNs to it in english)
‘Four Rhythms Across the Blue’ ok that makes sense
Got the Japanese release. Fun minigame. Moste boring VN I have played. Might pick it up again if they do a physical release because Pqube is awsome, but for me, this is likely the second weakest game Pqube has released on Switch. Hopefully other people who check it out enjoys it more than I did ^_^
Great track, not sure if it’s my thing but I hope it does well so more niche Japanese games keep getting localised.
I think i remember watching the anime. May grab it but to be honest I have bought multiple VN’s on Vita & Switch and only ever played for like half an hour on 2. Maybe the whole reading aspect of a VN doesn’t work for me, even though I tend to prefer Subs to Dubs.
I've been getting a bit overwhelmed by how many good VNs have been released on the Switch in the last year or so but I've been trying to work my way through as many as I can. I'll add this one to that list.
I wonder if this will get a physical release?
@nessisonett - I am not sure what's worse, the weird long subtitles in Japan, or the vague one-word pretentious titles of the US.
@MsJubilee Not 100% guaranteed, but likely. It has a retail release in Japan, and Pqube has been good with physical releases of majority of their Switch games.
@tobibra sorry but for those that like VN it's more then fun because english readers never get such games. This is a different type of genre for those whom like and watch/read Anime/Manga to like this anyone not from this genre won't like this. But there is more and more VN/JPRPG coming so that would signal there is a growing market for it as well.
@SwitchForce I already own practically every VN on Switch with a retail release aviable in English. And some Japanese VNs. I like VNs, JRPGs, anime and manga. I just happen to not like this particular one.
@tobibra indeed everybody has different opinions.
I dislike the Danganronpa games for example, even while everybody making a list of best console VNs dumps them in there.
I might grab this. The anime was a decent seasonal show.
Look ! Another censored erotic game for weebs and pedos !!
BURN IT
