Please Be Happy, the acclaimed slice-of-life visual novel, is set to make its debut at retail with a physical release on Nintendo Switch.
Funbox Media has confirmed that physical copies of the game will be available in stores for the first time starting March 27, 2026.
This marks a significant step for the title, which previously saw success as a digital exclusive on the Nintendo eShop. Originally launched for the Nintendo Switch in February 2025, Please Be Happy earned recognition among visual novel enthusiasts for its immersive storytelling and heartfelt narrative.
Developed by a skilled creative team with notable contributions from artist Kobuta and additional artwork by adirosa, the game invites players into a compelling world inspired by a reimagined Wellington, New Zealand. In Please Be Happy, players follow Miho, a former fox from the forests of Korea who has transformed into a human.
Driven by memories of a kind traveler who once spoke to her about the concept of home, Miho’s journey takes her to Wellington, one of the floating islands of New Zealand.
Despite years of observing human society, her integration is fraught with challenges—she initially survives as a thief, using her heightened animal senses to navigate the complexities of the world and its often harsh realities. The visual novel reaches a turning point as Miho encounters Juliet, who operates a cozy library, and Aspen, an aspiring writer.
Through these friendships, Miho discovers that humanity encompasses both kindness and complexity, and she begins to see the good that exists alongside the bad.
The story delivers a poignant exploration of personal growth and connection, set against a backdrop of beautifully crafted environments and character-driven storytelling. Key features of Please Be Happy include a substantial narrative comprising over 220,000 words, two primary routes with multiple happy endings for replay value, and vibrant illustrations that enrich the experience.
The game’s art direction, led by Kobuta with further contributions from adirosa, garners particular praise for its expressive character designs and captivating CG (computer graphics) scenes. The upcoming physical edition, exclusively a standard version distributed by Funbox Media, offers a new way for collectors and fans to enjoy Please Be Happy on Nintendo Switch.
With the release scheduled for March 27, 2026, this move reflects rising demand for tangible editions of beloved narrative games in the modern gaming landscape. For continued updates on Please Be Happy and the latest news surrounding Nintendo Switch releases, visit our dedicated Nintendo hub.
