Curator Notes

Blue Reflection: Second Light is Gust’s sequel to Blue Reflection (2017) and the anime Blue Reflection Ray, with character designs by Mel Kishida. A group of girls without their memories find themselves at a school surrounded by water. Koei Tecmo released it in Japan on October 21, 2021, for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, and in North America on November 9, 2021. This filing opens the Blue Reflection lineage on the shelf.

Collection Documentation

The retained object is Koei Tecmo’s retail edition of Blue Reflection: Second Light on a Nintendo Switch game card. Dedicated artifact views of the individual copy have not yet been filed; the gallery below is held open for that documentation.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: Released in Japan on October 21, 2021 as BLUE REFLECTION TIE/帝, and in North America on November 9, 2021. Three free updates followed, including the MUST DIE difficulty in December 2021.
Access Status: Distributed at retail by Koei Tecmo, with a digital edition on the Nintendo eShop.
