Last week PQube Games announced that they plan to release the music game themed styled visual novel I*CHU: CHIBI Edition onto the Nintendo Switch in Europe at some point in the near future.
Developed by Opera House I*CHU: CHIBI Edition will see the player become a producer to various idol groups, each with their own music and style, as you’ll work to improve their ratings within the idol industry. As part of the experience players can expect a mixture of visual novel styled dialogue, and rhythm based gameplay, to help bring the idols to stardom.
About: Your time as a producer has come! Aspiring idols need guidance on their journey to stardom and only you can provide it.
Created by a renowned talent agency, Etoile Vie School is a special academy designed to teach and train idols to be. 32 idols-in-training, also known as “I-Chu” have been chosen to attend this academy and are all working hard towards their major debut.
Separated into stylistically different groups, each idol has their own individual aspirations and unique personality, but with challenging hurdles ahead they must find the right way to understand and get along with each other.
Enter you! It’s your job as their teacher and producer, to guide these unique characters, through their struggles and stresses, helping them make music and resolve issues, to become the ultimate idols in the music industry!
At the time of writing a special release window for I*CHU: CHIBI Edition has not been mentioned, but PQube Games have confirmed that a physical edition of the game will be made available. For the time being at least I*CHU: CHIBI Edition is confirmed for a European release onto the Nintendo Switch. Further details can be found on the official microsite.
