December is here, NaNoWriMo is over, and we’ve got some Danganronpa to discuss.

On the weekend, there were some special live streams for Danganronpa’s 15th anniversary, including our first look at the upcoming Danganronpa 2×2.

In case you missed it, Danganronpa 2×2 was announced in the September Nintendo Direct. It’s a full remake of Danganronpa 2 that also includes a whole new scenario where the story plays out with new victims and killers.

Now, the demo shown in the stream isn’t meant to shed light on the new scenario, but rather to give us a better idea of what the remake will look like. The victim in the demo isn’t even a Danganronpa 2 character; it’s Hiro from the first game (apparently they kill him in every Danganronpa demo, like a running joke).

You can check it out for yourself in the stream, starting around 36:28.

For my part, I mostly like the new sprites. Their movements can be unsettling sometimes, but they have plenty of still sprites as well, so I don’t think it will bother me too much.

I’m still mostly interested in the 2×2 scenario, but it was nice to get this glimpse of Danganronpa 2×2. Are you looking forward to it? And if so, will you be playing the remake first or jumping straight to the new scenario?
