I’m not really sure why this matters, but I’ve never heard of G-Mode’s Kuukiyomi series before. No one has ever mentioned it to me, not even once. I guess I need to catch up on the lovely reader recommendations on nintendolife.com! The official description of KUUKIYOMI 4: Consider It finally caught my attention thanks to Daan Koopman and the positive social media reaction you can see below!
Who is G-Mode and why do they have a Kuukiyomi series? I’m puzzled because it seems like something I was destined to play. It’s right up my silly little street, this stuff. The premise of the game is that you become an innocent young child, reverting back to a state of mental purity and then being thrown into situations where you have to make a call. The game explains it better than I can:
“Consider It with innocence while looking back on various events that everyone must have experienced in their childhood. The basic rule of deciding what to do in situations by moving the red object on the screen is the same. Please consider the situation and read the atmosphere according to the various scenes that will be asked. A total of 100 situations will be asked. After playing all the questions, your “ability to read the atmosphere” will be diagnosed.”
I’ve always felt like I needed a diagnosis for that. Kuukiyomi 4: Consider It seems to put you in uncomfortable situations that have me howling with laughter. It also makes digs at the Switch 2 for being hard to find in stores. The game references the lottery system Nintendo is running in Japan, saying, “Can you put that console away? It’s too blinding to someone like me, who didn’t win one.”
The game also uses the console’s features and talks about them in-game. You get some new mouse and motion-controlled fun, along with five minigames that involve two Joy-Con in Mouse Mode. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kuukiyomi 4 is currently on a 30% discount on the eShop, which puts it at £8.04. If you bought the Switch 1 version, there’s an upgrade pack available for £3.59. I’m definitely diving into this game this weekend to see how funny it is!
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Kuukiyomi 4: Consider It! could be a blast. Have you played it or any other titles in the series? Let me know!
