NIS America have announced they will be bringing Giraffe and Annika to Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 in the US, Europe, and Australia.
Originally released on Windows PC back in February, (and as explained in our Niche Spotlight article); you play as Annika, a catgirl that awakens on the mysterious island of Spica with no memory of her past.
With the help of Giraffe, Annika will embark on a grand adventure across the island in search of five star fragments. Annika will have to navigate treacherous dungeons in search of the star fragments, and will also have to fight the mischievous witch Lily in rhythm-based battles.
While the press release is currently in German, the accompanying screenshots reveal a Musical Mayhem Edition for Nintendo Switch. This comes with a collector’s box, an art-book (dubbed Anna’s Adventure Log), three Familiar Faces sew-on patches, and the Songs of Spica official soundtrack.
UPDATE: While the pre-order link was not functioning at the time this article was written, it is now working. This shows both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions of the game will have the special editions, for $49.99 each.
