Mineko’s Night Market has been a long time coming but has finally released on Nintendo Switch!

Celebrating Japanese culture, it’s described as a narrative driven social-simulation title, whereby you will be exploring and solving mysteries as well as managing daily activities and jobs in a manner similar to Animal Crossing.

Mineko’s Night Market is a game that celebrates Japanese culture while introducing a heartwarming story about friendship, tradition, and many, many cats.

Play as Mineko, a curious girl who has just arrived at her new home on a struggling Japanese-inspired island at the base of Mount Fugu. The superstitious locals on the island worship the Sun Cat, Nikko. What was always thought to be a long-told myth has the town puzzled, as sightings of Nikko have begun to surface among the residents of the island in recent days.

Discover the secrets behind the town and restore the struggling village to its former glory. All the while, manage your daily activities, complete various jobs, venture on whimsical quests, and craft peculiar items in preparation for the weekly Night Market!

There are reports currently that the Switch version suffers from long load times and areas of lag, so hopefully the developers plan on releasing a patch soon.
