Publisher Idea Factory International have today confirmed that the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series, which consists of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation, will be released digitally onto the Nintendo Switch within Europe and North America later this year.
The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series is a remake of the original Hyperdimension Neptunia games that was released onto the PlayStation 3, and were originally released onto the PS Vita before being ported to Windows PC. More recently an enhanced PlayStation 4 port of the first Re;Birth game, known as Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Plus, was released onto worldwide, but this will be the first time that all three games will be released onto the Nintendo Switch platform. All three Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth games are turn-based strategy games set in the colourful world of the gamindustri, with each title offering a unique story and humour surrounding the world of games.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Overview
In the world of Gamindustri, four CPUs (also known as Goddesses) battled for supremacy in the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs – Neptune – was defeated by the others and banished from the heavens. In her fall from grace, Neptune’s memories were lost, but a mysterious book revealed itself to her with knowledge of all of Gaminudstri’s history. Joined by Compa, IF, and the sentient book known as Histoire, Neptune embarks on an extraordinary journey across four different nations on a quest to save the entire world!
Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation Overview
International Crime – morality has all but vanished. As much as 80 percent of all students are rumored to worship a being known as Arfoire, and the authorities have chosen to turn a blind eye to the threat. Basically, Gamindustri is pretty messed up, you guys. Ahem. Thus did Gamindustri fall into complete and utter disarray. Will the Goddesses be able to reclaim their world from ASIC’s grasp, or will they be forced to wander the Gamindustri Graveyard, forever lost?
Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 3 V Generation Overview
It’s time to Nep-Nep like it’s 1989. Neptune’s been sucked into an alternate dimension of Gamindustri! In order for her to escape from this late ‘80s world, Neptune will have to collect enough shares to open up the path to her own dimension. Sounds easy enough – except a nefarious alliance called the Seven Sages wants to rid Gamindustri of all CPUs (also known as Goddesses), including Neptune! Forging cross-dimensional friendships, will Neptune be able to defeat the Seven Sages, save this alternate dimension and get back to her own, or will she be stuck in the ‘80s forever?
While it is exciting news to see that the original games will be making there Nintendo Switch debut it is interesting that the games won’t be getting a PlayStation 4 release in the west, as in Japan these games will be released onto both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It’s not known why these newer versions won’t be coming to the PlayStation platform outside of Japan, but it is an interesting decision.
That aside, we can expect further details about the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series on the Nintendo Switch in the near future, but at the moment we do know that the games will be released digitally during 2024.
