One of the most surprising titles to come out of the recent Nintendo Direct was The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy from the creators of the Danganronpa series. Although series creator Kazutaka Kodaka has been active on other projects since the Danganronpa series' last game, including 2023's Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, many fans of the murder-mystery visual novel franchise have been eager for a new entry. While The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy isn't a new Danganronpa game, it seems to be heavily inspired by the series, blending elements of it with a popular Nintendo franchise.
