Today Spike Chunsoft reached out with a press release to provide more details and images of Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp and an update on sales for the series.
First of all, the press release answers a question many have been asking themselves about the pricing for the optional microtransactions.
Here’s how it’ll work.
Players can obtain all content such as characters, character upgrade cards, and items just by collecting and spending in-game coins. For example, if a player wants a specific character card, they can gather Monocoins and use them on the MonoMono Machines for a chance to win that card. Players can rest assured that they will not receive duplicate Character cards and Hype cards from machines. In addition to this, players cannot exchange real-world money for in-game Monocoins.
Let’s say a player really wants a swimsuit Nagito card, but doesn’t have a lot of time to play. They could visit the Nintendo eShop and purchase a “1 card” DLC. Using this DLC allows them to get the rare Nagito card without leaving it to luck. Here’s how it works: at the School Store, there will be an option to visit the Nintendo eShop to purchase a DLC. This DLC will allow the player to select any prize the player wishes from any machine, effectively removing the random chance element.
The prices of the DLCs are listed below:
1 card = $0.99
3 cards = $1.99
5 cards = $2.99
3 cards (can only buy this once) = $0.99
We also learn that the four games of the series have surpassed 5 million units shipped as of September 2021. Interestingly, a high percentage of sales from outside of Japan and on PC, with the platform accounting for approximately 3 million units sold. The PC versions of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair have exceeded one million units each.
