The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy Team Considers Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade
The acclaimed tactical RPG and visual novel hybrid, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, could be set for a return to the limelight.
Developed by Too Kyo Games and published by Aniplex and XSEED Games, the title was originally released for the Nintendo Switch and Steam in April 2025.
Upon launch, it garnered critical praise for its unique blend of strategic gameplay and narrative depth, earning a nine out of ten review from Nintendo Life and securing a spot among their 2025 Games of the Year.
Now, as the gaming community turns its attention to the next generation of Nintendo hardware, the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade is firmly on the radar. In a recent interview with RPGSite, Kazutaka Kodaka, co-director at Too Kyo Games, addressed the prospect of enhancing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
When asked about a potential upgrade similar to Shuten Order's recent performance-focused edition, Kodaka stated that the team would definitely consider it, acknowledging both demand and the benefits of improved hardware.
"We would like to consider that as well," Kodaka commented, indicating that while no definitive decisions have been made, Too Kyo Games is paying close attention to player feedback and the evolving platform landscape. The conversation around Switch 2 upgrades has gained traction thanks to recent precedents—most notably, Shuten Order's paid upgrade for Nintendo Switch 2, which delivered enhanced performance and the addition of mouse controls.
For The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, addressing performance issues and visual fidelity could further strengthen its reputation within the RPG community, especially as the original release faced some technical disparities between its Nintendo Switch and PC versions. Too Kyo Games, the studio behind the title, has experienced considerable success with The Hundred Line.
The robust sales and positive reception reportedly helped stabilize the developer's financial position, establishing the game as a significant milestone in their portfolio.
As fans express interest in future updates and enhanced editions, the studio’s willingness to evaluate a Switch 2 upgrade is seen as an encouraging sign. With the Nintendo Direct presentations and the Nintendo eShop poised to showcase an increasing array of next-generation titles, an upgraded edition of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy could reintroduce the game to a broader audience.
While an official announcement remains pending, Too Kyo Games' openness to the idea suggests that the story of The Hundred Line is far from over—especially as the Nintendo Switch 2 begins to shape the future of portable and console gaming.
