Curator Notes

Danganronpa traps students of an elite academy in a killing game where each murder must be exposed in a Class Trial. Decadence gathers Trigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, and Killing Harmony in their Anniversary Editions, with the new board-game spin-off Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. Spike Chunsoft released it in Japan on November 4, 2021, and in North America on December 3, 2021 — the series’ first appearance on Nintendo Switch, with all four games on a single card. This filing opens the Danganronpa lineage on the shelf.

Collection Documentation

The retained object is Spike Chunsoft’s retail edition of Danganronpa Decadence on a Nintendo Switch game card, holding all four games. 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: The first Danganronpa released on PSP in Japan in 2010. Decadence released in Japan on November 4, 2021, and North America on December 3, 2021 (HAC-P-A3TUA); a Collector’s Edition was issued alongside.
Access Status: Distributed at retail by Spike Chunsoft, with a digital edition on the Nintendo eShop.
