HoloParade: Deluxe Edition Launches June 18 on Nintendo Switch eShop With All DLC Included

Holo Indie has officially announced the upcoming release of HoloParade: Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch, scheduled to arrive on the eShop on June 18, 2024.

With pre-orders now live, Nintendo Switch players can look forward to an enhanced version of the vibrant 2D side-scrolling tower defense game featuring popular hololive VTubers and mascot characters.

Originally launched on Steam in 2023, HoloParade has gained attention for its energetic parade-themed gameplay and captivating cast.

HoloParade: Deluxe Edition brings together the base game and all previously released downloadable content (DLC), offering Nintendo fans the most complete experience to date. In HoloParade: Deluxe Edition, the core mechanics revolve around summoning characters from the player's base to form a parade and advancing toward the enemy's stronghold.

The controls are designed to be accessible, while the underlying strategy offers substantial depth.

Players can unlock and command over 65 unique characters, each equipped with specialized abilities such as ally healing and self-destruct attacks.

Strategic formation and thoughtful team composition are critical to achieving victory. One innovative mechanic is the ‘Symphony Effect,’ inspired by parade performances.

When characters play different musical instruments during the march, special effects are triggered according to their instrument choices and order of summoning.

This feature adds another layer of tactical planning to building an effective parade squad. Development elements in HoloParade: Deluxe Edition are comprehensive.

In addition to standard level-ups and limit breaking, the Skill system enables players to assign up to three unique skills to each character, tailoring abilities to fit a preferred playstyle.

Players can experiment freely, as the game allows skill resets and offers full refunds of in-game currency spent on upgrades. A standout aspect of HoloParade: Deluxe Edition on Nintendo Switch is its player-friendly approach to character acquisition.

The game eliminates traditional gacha microtransactions and stamina restrictions.

Players earn scout tickets through gameplay, which can be used to freely scout new characters.

Notably, the scouting feature provides two random character candidates, empowering players to make strategic or personal choices instead of relying solely on chance. Beyond the main campaign, the title includes engaging office interactions.

The home screen introduces players to newly recorded voice content from Harusaki Nodoka, a staff character from hololive.

Various hololive talents make guest appearances, and mini-games offer lighthearted diversions.

As of launch, mini-games like “Hurry Up! Miko-Chi!” and “Dancing Subaru” allow players to collect coins for character enhancements.

In “Hurry Up! Miko-Chi!,” fans can help Sakura Miko dash through obstacles to reach her goal, showcasing the game's signature charm. The Nintendo Switch version also boasts full integration of all prior DLC, ensuring fans have access to every character and gameplay feature.

This edition delivers the definitive HoloParade experience for handheld and docked play. In tandem with the announcement of HoloParade: Deluxe Edition, Holo Indie unveiled the hololive Treasure Mountain MegaPack, promising even more content for hololive enthusiasts on the Nintendo Switch eShop. HoloParade: Deluxe Edition represents a strategic, feature-rich addition to the Nintendo Switch library and stands out as a must-play for fans of VTuber collaborations, tower defense gameplay, and innovative parade mechanics.
