Believe it or not, but there are some other big releases out on the Switch this week. One is the lewd remaster, Gal*Gun Returns.
Obviously, it's a bit out there compared to your average game - this rail shooter requires a young man to fend off prospective lovers with his 'Pheromone Shot' while trying to secure the affections of one of the main protagonists.
If you are worried about how you will ever play this one around your friends, family and even partners without being judged, there's apparently no need to worry. PQube has released the following PSA video, explaining how to use the "safety goggles" (that aren't really safety goggles at all) which come with the 'Birthday Suit' version of the game.
"We've had some comments that our Gal*Gun Returns ‘Birthday Suit’ Collector’s Edition safety goggles aren’t safety goggles at all! This informational video has been created to to clear up any confusion."
Apart from the "safety googles" the Birthday Suit Collector's Edition of the game comes with the following items:
The game itself includes improved visuals, new CG sequences and all the previously released DLC. Our full review of Gal*Gun Returns will be going live on Nintendo Life later today. Think you'll be adding this one to your Nintendo Switch home menu? Tell us down below.

Works until it shows up on your 'most played' profile page...
A friend of mine is getting it, so I'm going to try it out and see how it is with JUST stick controls, since there's no gyro.
I WILL be getting it this year, though. Just undecided if PC or Switch will be preferable.
As a PSA: this is a proper rail shooter, not some weird pseudo-VR thing like Gal*Gun 2 was.
"this on the rails shooter requires a young man to fend off prospective lovers with his 'Pheromone Shot' while trying to secure the affections of one of the main protagonists."
Well that is one of the most pathetic things I have read. But to each their own.
"Believe it or not, but there are some other big releases on the Switch this week." I tend to think of big releases as games that a reasonable number of people will have heard of. Can't think of anyone I know who is aware that this will ever exist.
POV: You have never attempted real human interaction and think Japan is a wonderful anime girl wonderland
This HAS to be game of the year!
Edit: Oh my god that video is incredible
Why you gota dis are life choices?
Or how about you just own up to the fact your odd for ever wanting to play this. Don't play a weird game then be surprised when people judge you, especially when there are many other rail shooters around to choose from.
😆😆😆😆😆😆that's funny. Hope y'all enjoy!
If you’re gonna be a die-hard otaku, at least own it.
Not my thing, but whoever wrote the video is a legend. Haha
When I watched the safety video, I then realized that we live in a society.
Reminds me of my ninja training.
NINJA APPROVED
I will calmly inform my parents my nintendo switch account was hacked when they ask about 69 hours played in gal gun returns
Honestly, the game's just a bit of silly, harmless fun and it's pretty tame anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about what anyone thinks as anyone pretty enough to judge you based on what video games you play probably isn't worth your time in the first place.
@TheFullAndy We'll have to agree to disagree I guess. You can think I'm pathetic, I'll think you're pathetic and let's let that be the end of our interaction.
(The comment I was replying to was deleted in case anyone was wondering)
@BenAV
I am not saying you are pathetic I am saying the reasoning for the game's existence is pathetic.
But maybe it is one and the same.
Edit: Actually how or why are you happy with the description for this game?
@TheFullAndy I'm more interested in the video game itself, which is fun, than the description.
@BenAV
Funny that.
watches
o_0......Ummmmmmmm.....
slowly goes back to playing Mario 3D World and Atelier Ryza
@TheFullAndy Amen
@Leesteam
We are all odd in our own ways. That is what makes us unique.
Yeah because our society is so messed up that all kinds of graphic violence barely catches any attention no matter how gruesome and realistic.
But comically unrealistic "lewd" content? For shame!
I don’t get the joke: why is it called “safety goggles”?
@Heavyarms55 Pretty funny how one of the most tame shooters around is the one that gets people all riled up.
Love the series and never got around to playing this on the 360 so will definitely pick up the switch version.
Really like this video 😆
Unfortunately if you've already play GG2 this game is gonna feel like a step back. Surprising that such a..."that kind" of game actually made improvements in the sequel huh?
Now if we could get some more Senran Kagura games on the Switch, that’d be great.
Hadn't realised the safety goggles was a blindfold .... Not going to get this one since I've played the rest
@locky-mavo the creator of senran kagura seems to have gone down with the Soyny ship unfortunately.
@BenAV Not my cup of tea, but absolutely agree with you that it's harmless fun. Not sure how anyone can genuinely take offence... makes me worry about what other things they take offence to that are also genuinely fine.
@locky-mavo we have that pinball game peach ball...
@Heavyarms55,
Ah but people can't go after the violence in video games because it's something they have no issues with and quite enjoy, it's far easier to try to ban and censor things that they have no interest in personally.
@nocdaes,
Agree with you.
The old offended vs offensive debate, I am personally offended by something therefore it must be offensive, no it's not, you are just personally offended by it, not the same things.
Wow the sjws in here are mad.
I find it funny people on a nintendo site are telling others to grow up.
@ATaco I preferred the gameplay in double peace to GG2 and by all accounts this is closer to that than 2 so I'm pretty hyped.
NL posts booba
Somebody not within the niche group it's intended for calls it pathetic
Hot take Debate happens
Rinse and repeat until we move on to something new
Nintendo life: the most friendliest, open-minded site on the web.
I thought these games where plagued with performance issues?
@TheFullAndy Why is it pathetic? It just sounds like a funny and camp anime game with a bit of fantasy to it that doesn't take itself too seriously. Lighten up.
@Trajan Exactly, for everyone shaming those who like this game there will be just as many people out there happy to call THEM or their games pathetic because they play Nintendo. People who judge others by the games they play need to get over themselves.
"Birthday suit" edition? 😄
I kinda don't understand the need for games like this. At least with games like DoA the gameplay is solid. Why not buy a good shooter, or visit an adult website.
I don't understand the logic of buying something that's mediocre in both categories.
Every other game on the eshop looks like a softcore maid game, so someone must be buying them.
Breaking News: Japan reports continued birth rate drop; statisticians baffled
@Ralizah : I think most players would prefer to play this with stick controls. 😏
Got the standard edition. Funstock stopped shipping internationaly before I ordered it.
@wargoose People buy them because they are actually fun games despite being labled as "mediocre" by some people. And I do honestly think they are good shooters.
@gutrippabear then find out your dad has actully racked up 75 hours lol
Reading the comments made me realise that we truly do live in a society
Bottom text
@Carck not really, all I said was if you've got a choice between an average shooter and a really good shooter, why pick the average one with boobies. And if your answer is boobies, well there's better stuff out there for that as well.
I mean if you've got enough time and money on your hands, to play everything under the sun, fair play to you.
Bare mid-February, and we've already got the game ad of the year?
@Wargoose this game looks hilarious, something most other shooters lack. The gameplay being mediocre is your opinion, which is obviously not shared by everyone. If you can’t understand why other people buy things they enjoy, I don’t think anyone can help you with that pondery.
Also you are kidding if you think there is a wealth of on rails shooters to choose from on Switch. The library available is minuscule.
@Clyde_Radcliffe
If you enjoy this game and its like fair enough go for it but that description I quoted just reads like some seriously sexually frustated man child fantasy rubbish.
@JohnnyC Big release is a joke. It's a play on words implying that something else is big in this game because, as you pointed out, it's obviously not an actual big release. Like all jokes it becomes funnier once explained.
@Wargoose I don't think kinks can be understood by explaining them. Either you've got it or you haven't, I suppose.
@TheFullAndy You're basically saying, "If you like it, that's fine, but you must be sexually frustrated to play this pathetic game." If people who want to play this game should feel empowered to do so, why should they care about or listen to your assumptions about them, the game's quality, or their reasons for playing? Your opinion is noted, but worthless, thanks for sharing.
@NoxAeturnus
Feel empowered? To shoot their "pheremone shot" at women? OK bud, very empowering.
Don't care about what I say, I'm not fussed.
@TheFullAndy You didn't even care to understand the description, lol. It#s evident that most of the arguments you bring to the table are just made up by prejudice.
@Wargoose I can't talk for the actual DoA, but DoA Xtreme is way worse in both regards, as it has terrible gameplay for a sports game and is MILES lewder than Gal Gun.
@BowtieShyGuy
Explain it to me please.
@NoxAeturnus Serves me right for reading/posting late last night.
Lol! Not my kinda game but that video is marketing genius! Laughed my butt off.😁
Actually to be honest this game looks fun and weird to play which is usually why it's gonna be just a fun game to play the only problem with this game is if you enjoy shooting the girls in there breasts and then rubbing them after cause most of these games they are like middle schoolers or high schoolers which my mine problem with it
All people complaining about this game remind me those who try to shame me for watching anime when I'm 36.
@TheFullAndy What the NintendoLife article is missing is that the plot is that a cupid accidentally hit the protag with a love arrow.
You explained this dynamic as if this is something to be sought after, which it is not by the game's dynamic. This "love curse" prevents the player from getting to the girl he actually likes (thus, making the girls obstacles in the game). He shoots the girls with the "pheromone shot" to get away from them, not to "be empowered over them"
Yes, the PR is misleading (to get both horny teens and people with prejudice) to talk about the game. Yes, it pokes fun at sexual bishoujo tropes.
But other than games like DoA Xtreme 3 with lackluster gameplay that is just an excuse to unlock borderline porn, this has actual gameplay in it and is more about being silly than being lewd. Especially if you like rail-shooter-gameplay but don't like blood, this could be an alternative.
Also, it's totally okay if you are not a fan of these kind of games. But I think it's ridiculous to waste a whole lot of time worrying over a headline - especially when trying to force your own political agendas upon others - while not even spending two seconds looking into the matter.
Does this game come with a joystick or do I have to use my own? Asking for a friend.
Those can probably keep you safe from out of control jiggle physics too.
@nessisonett Yas, I would absolutely have bought the CE if Funbox still shipped here when I bought the game
So got the standard edition. From what I have played so far the game is as fun as the other Gal gun games.
A team of people got together and spent months if not years making this. This is their legacy. Wow.
@SpaceboyScreams Its good they did, these games are awsome <3
@Antraxx777 The wearer cannot see your hobby, therefore it keeps your hobby safe. Hence the "safety googles", it's a silly joke.
Like safety equipment that doesn't actually protect the user but those around them.
@BowtieShyGuy Yeah I was talking about actual DoA, which underneath all the jiggle physics is a really good fighting game.
@TheFullAndy To be honest you seem really out dated and out of touch. Like you have the mentality of someone living in the 80s or 90s. The script has flipped. You are kind of the odd socially unaccepted person in 2021, not the people playing these games. Like if someone at work was acting and saying the stuff you are saying, its safe to say that person would not be a part of the main group, and probably be eating lunch by themself, or with a small group of people that didnt fit in because they are too grumpy or living in the past.
@Tim_Vreeland
Yes the people saying how they play a videogame where they shoot schoolgirls with the pheremone gun would be normal ones hanging out with everyone else
Sure they would bud, sure they would.
Play the game if you want, but it is still pathetic, end of.
@TheFullAndy
What's wrong with shooting anime girls with the pheromone gun? Do you think anime is pathetic itself too?
@monterxz
1. What's right with it?
2. No
I'm not bothered if people like this, but the game looks boring and sad. That is all.
@TheFullAndy
Fanservice
@Heavyarms55
I don’t want to play an on rails shooter atm. But that’s my thoughts exactly!
Mr. Fuggles, is there really gameplay value to this title? Some sort of shoot-'em-up, I take it? I have just assumed it was all for laughs and low-grade titillation.
(Also, for your possible amusement: its nice to see my Ignore list working so surgically. All the responses to @TheFullAndy tell me well enough what s/he/it was saying without being forced to actually read any mindless ideological patter. I see that you are also staying above all this cheap politics...)
@Mr-Fuggles777
I think this is funny as hell and definitely will play.
Anyone thinking how playing this game somehow reflects my state of mind or sexual life has a loooooong way to go in terms of life lessons. Grow up .
@TheFullAndy
Great thing about opinions is that we can choose to not care about them. So consider your opinion thrown in the bin, where in this case it belongs.
@TheFullAndy If you ask me, spending this much time worrying about what kinds of games other people choose to play is 100 times more pathetic.
Kinda hard to comment on the gameplay from the video since not much is shown. But the video is really funny and pretty much makes fun of the judgemental reactions people would have to the game. Like the reactions on here.
