Nihon Falcom Original “Ys” RPG Coming To Switch February 15th 2024

D4 Enterprise has announced they are bringing the original Ys RPG by Nihon Falcom to the Nintendo Switch.

Released under their EGGCONSOLE label, the Switch version is a port of the game’s original PC-8801 release from 1987. It will release on February 15th 2024.

You can check out a trailer below, along with additional details via Nintendo:

This is an action RPG released by Nihon Falcom in 1987.

Players take on the role of Adol Christin, a red-haired adventurer, as he embarks on a journey to seek the six Books of Ys.

At the time of its release, the PC gaming industry was saturated with challenging RPGs. However, Nihon Falcom took a different approach with this game, releasing it with the concept of “Now, it’s the era to bring kindness in RPGs,” aiming to create an RPG that everyone could enjoy.

The game features clever level-up settings that eliminate the hassle of grinding for experience points, the removal of unreasonable traps, and agile characters that move smoothly. With numerous thoughtful design choices, the game can be enjoyed comfortably, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is filled with “kindness,” as the tagline suggests.
