The Nintendo Switch version of the title notably brings two new features to the first-ever action-RPG entry in the series.
■New Playable Characters
Maho and Anri, who only appeared as side characters in the game’s original release, will be added as fully-fledged playable characters in the Nintendo Switch version, sporting unique movesets and special cutscene attacks tailor-made for each of them!
The two new girls will be available to players from the beginning of the game and will be party members from the get-go.
■Expanded Photo Mode
Take cute photos to your heart’s content with the newly enhanced Heartful Photo Mode! Snap screenshots with your favorite characters using custom frames and models, then spice things up with the newly added stamps and filters!
For example, combine elements such as the “manga-style filter” and “speech bubble stamps” to create your scenes and moments.
▍About Neptunia: Sister VS Sister
Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters stars the Goddess Candidates, who are sent out to investigate a laboratory. It was there that they came face-to-face with the “Ashen Goddess,” who ensnares them in a deep sleep capsule—by the time they awoke, two years had already passed.
The mysterious rise of “rPhones,” distracting consumers from console games and weakening the goddesses, drives the game’s story and cultural references. Instead of videogame consoles, topics such as phone games, VTubers, and recent trends in social media are explored by Neptunia characters, frozen for three years and ignorant of modern anime and gaming culture.
Through a time skip, familiar Neptunia characters must find their footing in a world where phone games are king, setting the stage for hilarity and engaging story scenarios.
The player explores an unfamiliar cast of characters through the sisters of the main franchise protagonists; at the same time, the plot and humor within Sisters move away from the console and retro game references common in Neptunia.
