Key information
Idea Factory's female-oriented brand Otomate will release the professional basketball player romance adventure game "MIX DUNK -KING OF BASKETBALL-" for Nintendo Switch on November 26, 2026. The title is supervised by the professional basketball club Kawasaki Brave Thunders and the popular idol group AKB48.
Players take on the role of a female protagonist who joins a mixed-gender basketball league team after her initial company team disbands. The gameplay includes tactical choices, basketball mini-games, and a dictionary feature accessible via touch controls to explain basketball terminology.
Reviewer assessments praised the balance between the rigorous professional sports environment and the emotional depth of the players, noting that the title evokes a sense of adult youth and successfully stimulates tear ducts during emotional scenes.
The title will be available in standard and special editions for physical buyers, alongside a digital deluxe edition and various store-specific pre-order benefits. First-print physical and pre-ordered digital versions include the digital voice drama DLC "Mix Typhoon."
