Danganronpa Decadence Collector's Edition - Nintendo Switch

This is a trilogy of the three main games 1, 2 & v3 as well as the new Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, which is more of a laid back slice of life virtual board game with a ton of character interactions. Spike Chunsoft has claimed that there are more than 1,000 character interactions. I will say that while this is a visual novel, there are adventure elements to these games, which I think opens this series up to a wider audience than your typical visual novel (VN). Even if you’re not crazy about VN’s, or if you’ve never played one before, I think danganronpa might be the exception for you. The games are just addictive, it’s so fun and interesting. I love to find out who these characters are behind their masks, and finding out the true motive and everything else. It’s a ton of fun. I highly recommend this series, it’s up there as one of my favorites with the SciAdv series. The story that is told in this series does have a few weak points, but it’s the mysteries and gameplay loop that make this game so exciting and fun. I implore you to give this a shot, I really think most people who enjoy good stories and mysteries would love this series. Plus getting all 4 of these games for roughly $60 is a steal, it’s definitely worth the price of admission. They also have both English and Japanese audio options. All 4 games are on one cartridge, and they all appear as separate games on the switch home screen; and it makes it much easier to navigate, which is different from the Trilogy released on PS4.As far as the games, I think the first one is the best. The second one is very good too, and the third was my least favorite out of the trilogy if I’m being honest. v3 isn’t bad by any stretch, it’s just compared to the other two main games it’s my least favorite. It is however better than Ultra Despair Girls. All in all this is a series worth the time commitment. I spent around 100 hours playing the 3 included in this trilogy. Ultra Despair Girls, while not included, is the shortest at roughly 20 hours. It’s necessary to understand specific components of the danganronpa 3 anime, as well as v3. For those reasons I recommend not skipping Ultra Despair Girls, it’s not on the switch but you could always watch a summary or just watch the cut scenes on YouTube. Below is my recommended play order/watch order.Play Order/Anime Watch Order:Danganronpa 1: Trigger Happy HavocDanganronpa 2: Goodbye DespairUltra despair girls (PS4/Steam/YouTube)Anime: Danganronpa 3 future & despair arcs (watch in alternating order for each episode. Ep 1 of future & Ep 1 of despair, etc..)Danganronpa v3: Killing HarmonyDanganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp (save for last since you won’t know all the characters otherwise)Light Novels:There are a few light novels (LN) included with the games, such as the IF novel following Mukuro, which can be read after clearing the second game. There’s also the Hagakure novel that can be read after the ending of Ultra Despair Girls. Anything else will have to be found online through fan translations. I suggest reading the LN as you’re allowed to if they interest you, although I don’t think they’re must reads if you’re not into LN’s. They do however have visual novel elements such as backgrounds and music and they’re pretty short. I completed them in roughly 3-4 hours. Enjoy the Danganronpa series! It really is worth the time commitment.Edit: The second game goodbye despair also has an alternative ending via mini game, this is for those who are curious about what it would be like if “certain” things didn’t happen, its about an hour long. It’s similar the summer camp game included in the bundle, so much so that I'm sure that’s where the inspiration for the summer camp game originated. Pretty cool extras to get into after you finish the 3 main games. And the limited edition is very nice, and it’s actually worth the extra $40, the steel box, soundtrack, lenticular prints and cloth poster are all very high quality. It’s back in stock for the time being, if you want it, get it now. Spike Chunsoft has stated multiple times that this is a limited edition, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. Even the standard copy wasn’t printed in large numbers, pick it up asap if you don’t want to go digital.TL;DR: If you’re thinking about playing this and you enjoy mysteries or thrillers, just buy it and play it already. A good VN series for first time players. It’s an amazingly fun game that’s worth the money and the time commitment (100+ hours). These do have an english dub that’s pretty good too. The limited edition is worth the money, get this asap before the only way of picking it up is digitally. Enjoy!

You know whats not despairing? the shipping times, got here quick, is a phenomenal purchase for all SDR fans

The product is exactly as advertised, and I’m very satisfied with it. I’ve just started Danganronpa 2, having already seen the first game, and I’m excited to explore Danganronpa S, which looks intriguing. My only disappointment is the absence of Ultra Despair Girls—its inclusion would have made this collection perfect. One critique of the game itself (not the seller’s fault) is the extensive dialogue, which makes it feel more like watching a visual novel than actively playing a game.

First off, what do I mean by that? Well, when I was waiting on this game, it arrived at the distribution center in Elk Grove Village and it was stuck there for almost two weeks. I was afraid I wasn't gonna get it at all, much less in time for Christmas. Anyway...Now, I haven't played every game in this cartridge yet. I've beaten Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and I'm currently in the middle of trying to beat Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. I've yet to play Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony or Danganronpa S, which is a totally different kind of game than the other three. Let me tell you, though, these games been quite the thrill ride so far. The thrill of solving a murder case and then watching the murderer get executed in an elaborate and brutal fashion. It doesn't get much better than this. I may not have played all the main series games yet, but I know enough about each of them to know that each one is the best at something. In my opinion, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has the best game play overall, Danganronpa 2 has the best cast of characters, and Danganronpa V3 has the best executions. The only other thing I can think to say is that I have every intention of beating the main series games eventually. And then once I've done that, I'll go ahead and check out Danganronpa S and see what that game is like.

I got this as an early Christmas present for my husband who is a big fan of Ace Attorney. I watched the Danganronpa anime long ago and thought the game would be perfect for him.For a new release Japanese game the price is great since I would expect to pay this much for one game but this is actually a collection that includes a new game and a few old ones.Husband is LOVING it so far. It has a lot of mystery solving while also playing "mini games" that helps you with the case/trial. From crime to rythm games. It has a bit of everything.The plot is weird and interesting. I would definitely say that if you're a parent wanting to buy this for your kid you may want to know there's some graphic. Content like blood (even if they make it pink for a less shocking effect), murder, and executions of the people found guilty. Do your research and watch YouTube clips of the deaths if you do like to keep an eye on what your kids watch/play.I personally don't find it too bad (most games have violence and blood nowadays) but I wanted to point that out.All in all this was a great purchase. I pre-ordered it back in November and shipping was estimated to be 12/10 to 12/15 but I received it the day after it was officially released (12/4)

I've never played any of the games before so it felt convenient to get them all on one game card. The game itself runs really well, so thankfully no issues there. The other contents within the box all look great as well. The metal tin had a few small dings (not quite dents but still noticeable), but overall no complaints.
