Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have jointly announced during the Japanese version of today's Nintendo Direct Mini that the visual novel-style adventure game Buddy Mission: Bond will launch on Switch next year.
Featuring characters designed by Yusuke Murata (One Punch Man, Eyeshield 21), the game combines 2D story sequences with 3D segments and revolves around picking two members of Team Bond and controlling their actions as they infiltrate various hideouts to investigate shadowy forces.
The Japanese release is pencilled in for January 29th, 2021, and the game is expected to retail for in 7,128 yen. There's no word on a western release at present.

The art definitely gives me vibes of Murata's work like OPM, but it also kinda resembles Danganronpa in a few areas.
A pity Nintendo's visual novels are typically still confined to Japan (at least for the time being). This, the Famicom Detective Club remakes... Digital distribution should make them less risky to localize.
Gimme that tasty weeeeeeeeeb stuff.
@Sabrewing I'm still holding out hope that Famicom Detective Club will get announced to be localized next year...
If Ruby Party are the developers this will never see the light of day in the West. Shame as they make some really good games.
It’s nice to see them putting out another original IP.
This looks really cool! Hopefully we'll get a Western release or atleast an Asian one with english subs
if this is any good as Ai somnium files then im totally for it
Smells of Ace Attorney.
I'm all about it.
Might be fun. I may get this.
I swear I have a pile of VNs to work through.
I'd rather translate the game than localize. Localization involves changing the game's culture and sometimes, ruin the game itself. There are times we prefer translation and vice versa.
On the other hand, this game promotes by Nintendo of Japan.
