Onion Games announced the official localization ofMoon Remix RPG Adventure’s Switch release will be launching August 27, for $18.99 / â¬15.99 / £14.49.Moonfirst launched on PS1 on July 12, 2025, and is remembered fondly by those who tried it out. The game’s reputation isn’t exaggerated and I have actual Japanese online friends who’re crazy about it. The Nintendo Switch release wasannounced back in September 2019, and first launched in Japan in October 2019, for a similar price of 1833 Yen.
Moonfollows the trend of many Japanese exclusive classics finally getting localized, on Switch, after decades.An official English page forMoonwas opened up as well.Moon Remix RPG Adventureis described as such:
Have you ever played an RPG and wonderedâ¦"Why does the ‘hero’ kill thousands of innocent monsters? Why does the ‘hero’ break into homes and steal their items and gold?" Moon is a game that turns those ideas upside down, to see what really happens behind the scenes of your favorite RPG video games.
One night, under the light of a full moon, a young boy is sucked into his TV. He wakes up inside the video game ‘Moon World’. The boy levels up by saving the souls of the monsters killed by Moon World’s so-called ‘hero’, observing the lives of the oddball inhabitants of the world, and gathering their secret love. That’s right, in this game you level up with love, not through battles. “Now, please, open the door…”
Onion Games is most notably made ofMoon’s original developers Yoshiro Kimura and Kazuyuki Kurashima. One of the studio’s previous game is weird shooting gameBlack Bird.
Personally speaking, I first heard ofMoona few years ago when Yoshiro Kimura appeared on Toco Toco. Kimura mentioned then he mainly worked on the story part and making the clay-like characters of the game. Toco Toco used to run on French culture channel Nolife, which existed from June 2007 to April 2018. I probably wouldn’t be writing here if not for being inspired by Toco Toco’s original journalistAnne Ferreroand all the Nolife team. Toco Toco is still ongoing now as Archipel:
Along with ZUN’sTouhou,Moonis known as one of the biggest inspirationsbehind Toby Fox’sUndertale.
Needless to say, this story’s title is a joke though. And a pretty funny one in my opinion. I could have tried out “TheMadoka MagicaofUndertale” but that one was too sarcastic, kinda rude, and would need further explanation for it to be truly understood unless you’ve been regularly watching anime for over 25 years.
