Two of the most beloved Prince of Tennis romance games from 2005 are finally coming back, and this time they are heading west. The Prince of Tennis II: Sweet School Festival ♡−40 and more… and The Prince of Tennis II: Doki Doki Survival ~eternal passion! Tie break ♡game~ both launch on 30 July 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam — fully remastered, and newly available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
For fans across Singapore and Southeast Asia who grew up watching the anime on TV or reading the manga, this is long overdue. The original games were Japan-only PS2 releases; outside Japan you could only admire them from afar. That changes in two weeks.
School Festival or Deserted Island? Two Games, One Summer
The two games put you in very different situations — and that’s the point. In Sweet School Festival, you are living the full school-festival experience surrounded by more than 40 tennis princes from rival schools. Think cultural stalls, drama rehearsals, and heart-racing moments in between. In Doki Doki Survival, a plane detour strands you and a group of fan-favourite characters on a tropical island, kicking off a survival-meets-romance story where the stakes feel just a little higher than finding the right club room.
Both are otome visual novels with fully voiced scenarios in Japanese and date events unique to each character. The Prince of Tennis II cast covers ten schools and dozens of iconic rivals, so whichever game you pick, there are plenty of princes to spend your time with.
What the Remaster Actually Adds
Both remasters get newly drawn high-resolution illustrations, and you can freely toggle between the original PS2-era artwork and the redrawn scenes — a thoughtful touch for anyone who wants nostalgia alongside the upgrade. Some event CGs also have subtle animation added to them in the new version.
On Nintendo Switch 2, the games run at full-screen high resolution with shorter load times and mouse support, plus an exclusive Game Share feature that lets you create and share short mini-dramas using in-game characters. The interface has been overhauled with a cleaner map and navigation system, and character affinity comments change based on how far your relationship has progressed.
Asia Gets a Physical Edition — and Japan Gets the Full Collector’s Set
Regional fans will be glad to know that Asia is getting physical Nintendo Switch editions of both titles alongside the global digital release. Japan’s limited edition sets, available at 15,400 yen each, include the physical game, a special staff t-shirt, an acrylic panel, a sticker set, and a clear file — plus digital bonus content. Specific Asia edition contents are to be confirmed closer to release.
For everyone else, digital pre-orders are live now on the Nintendo eShop and Steam. Each title is priced at US$49.99 (SGD equivalent to be confirmed by Konami at launch). Existing Switch owners who later upgrade to a Switch 2 can use the Upgrade Pass to access the Switch 2 Edition features.
Language support — English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese text alongside the original Japanese voice track — means Singapore players can dive straight in without any workarounds. If you have been waiting more than two decades for an officially localised way to romance your favourite Seigaku, Hyoutei, or Rikkai rivals, 30 July is your day.
