Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters finally arrives on the Nintendo Switch in the west, and to celebrate Idea Factory International are offering a 10% launch discount on both the Standard & Digital Deluxe Editions until 5th February 2024. A physical day one edition is also available at online retailers, such as Amazon UK, and includes a variety of physical goodies including a B2 sized cloth poster.
Originally released on 21st April 2022 in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, this latest entry of the long-running RPG sees Nepgear, Uni, Ram and Rom take centre stage as they battle a new enemy known as Trendi Phenomenon. Naturally fan-favourites Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert will be in the game but (for once) the story will look to bring the CPU Candidates into the spotlight. This newly released Nintendo Switch version retains all of the features of the original PlayStation version but also includes Maho and Anri as playable characters.
Synopsis:
While the Goddesses were out responding to a distress call from the faraway PC Continent, Nepgear and the other Candidates were sent to investigate an abandoned laboratory.
It was there that they found the “Ashen Goddess”, who trapped them in a deep sleep capsule. By the time they awoke, 2 years had already passed. The latest smartphone, the “rPhone”, dominates the market.
Neptune has been missing since her mission to the PC Continent, and in the absence of its Goddess and Candidate, Planeptune was ravaged by a strange new phenomenon, the Trendi Outbreaks.
Suddenly finding herself robbed of home and family, Nepgear falls into a deep depression. This is a story about finding hope in the midst of despair, and the rebirth of a Goddess in the wake of destruction.
