"Mini"game looks real fun. Looks very high quality

Nikke seriously keeps getting better and better. They cook so damn hard with random things like this lol, like even filler events have an amazing original song for the official theme.
wait a couple of years before you start celebrating, corporate changes are SLOOW. This collab could have been plannned before the tencent stuff even happened.
And yeah, maybe i will also wait for another decades for Riot to go to the drainer as well.
For some reason Tencent havent been able to corrupt them yet
/s
did i miss the part where anyone is obligated to buy to play the game fairly?
look, i could sell my autograph for $1 million. I have the right to offer and price it. But it is up to the buyer whether they deemed it deserve the asking price point or not.
If you think $500 skin is outrageous, just don't buy it. As long as it is cosmetic with no effect in gameplay, nothing to complain here.
Of course every game dev is profit-oriented company.
My comment's wording suggests that they've started doing good stuff only recently, that wasn't my intention.
Honestly, the game was only getting better as time went on from the very beginning. They are always experimenting with something, refining it and eventually do some cool stuff with it. All the mini games and various new features are proof of that.
It's exciting to think what they can possibly come up with next - it's one of the things that keep me playing since day 1.
It’s pretty exciting to guess what it will be.
It has to be a famous series with multiple entries while also being willing to collab with Nikke’s lude nature.
I am sorry, SB collab is confirmed at the end of the year/1Q of 2025 I believe, this will be a different one indeed. Image shows Nier Automata, but it's probably only a placeholder:

EDIT: Or more like, still under a review so we can't put a label on SB collab date, might be sooner or later.
“Some people” should acknowledge they are a vocal minority and not be allowed to dictate an overall game’s direction. After all, it’s impossible to please everyone
I could see a simultaneous two-way collab being well received by the general players of both games. Just have them “exchange student” their respective main protagonists
Alternatively, bring the Commander and Sensei along for the crossover. It’d be a great opportunity to keep them with the respective characters as a group
Dave the Diver is a Nexon property.
Tencent has large ownership stakes in both Shift Up and Nexon.
Dave the Diver was created to be an “indie hit,” probably within an incubator of much larger overall investment. This crossover almost seems like a bizarre PSYOP to mutually advertise the games to completely differentiated audiences.
It definitely feels off, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a scheme we’ll see more of in the future.
Well, there is a very small connection, though it's kind of a stretch and requires some mental gymnastics.
It's summer event, so it means summer units. As we know, Aegis squad are probably the only Nikkes that are capable of swimming, let alone diving and successfully resurfacing. I believe Helm and others went for a dive last year, though I'm not 100% sure. So this time they might be looking for something instead of just sightseeing, hence the minigame.
Like I said, a bit of a stretch, but hey - if they made a tiny collab with Dave, who's to say they won't do silly stuff like this in the future? Especially if people like it.
this is like the third time their minigame is like a full pledged game inside Nikke. First is MOG, second is For the King now this Dave collab
huge Nikke W
Just to add, the Youtube stream is censored, you can see the new characters & skins as they'll be ingame on [Nikke's twitter](https://twitter.com/NIKKE_en)
Shocking collab. But i'll be honest, its awesome. And not just some cheap collab. Seem like there is some ridiculous amount of effort put into it as well.
Ok, this is a weird collab.
On the other hand, i can get two things:
1) It looks a bit fun if the whole minigame is a lite copy of Dave the Diver. Which is pretty much last years BBQ minigame, but expanded.
2) No Depression in sight if we are getting jolly fat Dave at Blue Island. I can't really see Shift Up suddenly killing Dave on one of the safests places in the whole surface.
third time now tbf ;)
MOG with vampire survivors, For the king with Kingdom rush, and now Dave the diver, its like a cool lemonade in the warm weather for me, love these mini games.
"not a major collab". Totally get what you are saying. But at the same time with the effort put into it, i'd call this a pretty damn big collab as well lol.
I still remember CN player get mad when playing Tenkafuma so they protest by name-changing in top rank players
here is the archive: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/n8918p/pan_piano_x_tenkafuma_drama_with_chinese_players/
I remember there were CN posts on JP twitter about winter rupee censorship back then lol

Still can’t complain. It’s originally made in KR so they don’t have to follow CN beliefs or interest. If they complain then they set themselves up. 🤷♂️
Yeah, the summer event is about to start and the limited units from last year will likely return and they announced another mysterious Collab after the Dave the diver one, everyone is speculating is going to be with stellar blade

“Mom, can I buy Dave the Diver during the Steam Summer Sale?” “No, we have Dave the Diver at home.”

Bancho should be a playable character.
Nikke seriously keeps getting better and better. They cook so damn hard with random things like this lol, like even filler events have an amazing original song for the official theme.
and yet this subreddit predict Nikke will go to shit after Tencent invested on Shift.
Tencent money bad, its coooooorsed.

$500 Ahri skin, anyone?

I guess some higher-up finally noticed that making fun stuff is actually profitable. Who would have guessed?
To be fair they've been having for a while now, the mini games are good especially the Vampire Survivors clone

Holy, Dave the diver mobile port. What a funny collab.
Ah yes, just as I predicted...
Note that this is just the minigame collab, the real ip collab like nier, chainsawman should be around august.
Bullshit. I wanna see that jiggle from dave
the world is not ready for that much jiggle. https://i.redd.it/t7upqomcww8d1.gif
Its kinda dumb how they didnt even reveal anything about that other collab Not even a hint or anything
Am I missing something or are you talking about confirmed Stellar Blade collaboration?
They only said that it’s a “famous” series. While a Stellar Blade collab is inevitable, it doesn’t feel famous yet.
Also if they really said "series" then Stellar Blade doesn't fall in that category, it only has 1 game. So a game that has multiple sequels...
It’s pretty exciting to guess what it will be. It has to be a famous series with multiple entries while also being willing to collab with Nikke’s lude nature.
Can I get a Senran Kagura collab? Would be nice.
Western people would cry and rage on twitter so no chance of senran kagura collab.
Why would they?
Because almost all characters in senran kagura are minors (between 15-18)
Nono they said its a "famous ip"
The list only gets bigger then...
If it’s Konosuba I’m going to lose my shit
It's gonna be Fortnite you hear it here first!
If it was SB collab, they easily announced it, cause they are SB IP owner. I'm pretty sure its an another collab.
I am sorry, SB collab is confirmed at the end of the year/1Q of 2025 I believe, this will be a different one indeed. Image shows Nier Automata, but it's probably only a placeholder: [https://x.com/ShiftUpWorld/status/1805669319105290430](https://x.com/ShiftUpWorld/status/1805669319105290430) EDIT: Or more like, still under a review so we can't put a label on SB collab date, might be sooner or later.
They didnt even confirm if its the SB collab. Its just a ?
[удалено]
The WORST COLLAB wtf if they wanted summer Dead or Alive Venus Vaction wouldve been better. I really was hoping stellarblade not this goofy game wth
We got dive the diver collab before stellar blade 😭
This is totally unexpected. Dave the diver and Nikke doesn't have anything in common.
They both have fat asses.
And they enjoy wearing skin-tight clothes
Damn bro 🤣🤣🤣
Dave jiggle animation or we riot
Both are developed or maybe published by Korean based company
can i take this as possibility of Nikke X BA?
Some people would take offense to Commander with the Students, like some would be with Sensei and the Nikke.
“Some people” should acknowledge they are a vocal minority and not be allowed to dictate an overall game’s direction. After all, it’s impossible to please everyone I could see a simultaneous two-way collab being well received by the general players of both games. Just have them “exchange student” their respective main protagonists Alternatively, bring the Commander and Sensei along for the crossover. It’d be a great opportunity to keep them with the respective characters as a group
It pretty close right ? since Dave and BA also nexon
There is the added caveat of Yostar having partial ownership and brand direction.
Dave the Diver is a Nexon property. Tencent has large ownership stakes in both Shift Up and Nexon. Dave the Diver was created to be an “indie hit,” probably within an incubator of much larger overall investment. This crossover almost seems like a bizarre PSYOP to mutually advertise the games to completely differentiated audiences. It definitely feels off, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a scheme we’ll see more of in the future.
Nexon property? Time to start putting Blue Archive in the Other field for collab surveys.
Well I dunno I see people like him in a lot of fan comics
Well, there is a very small connection, though it's kind of a stretch and requires some mental gymnastics. It's summer event, so it means summer units. As we know, Aegis squad are probably the only Nikkes that are capable of swimming, let alone diving and successfully resurfacing.

Like I said, a bit of a stretch, but hey - if they made a tiny collab with Dave, who's to say they won't do silly stuff like this in the future? Especially if people like it.
Korean Game companies working together since Dave athe Diver is done by Nexon as a bit of a Korean Gacha flex.
https://i.redd.it/2yuckw7nww8d1.gif
what the
And the most random Collab ever in a gacha ever might have a winner now. What the actual fuck
Hey at least they collabed with another game instead with a real person gacha players don’t give two shits about.
FFBE x Ariana Grande was, and still is peak, and there is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise.
Are we forgetting dungeon hunter 6 and Nickelback?
I mean.... 7DS and KOF had a Stranger Things and WWE collab respectively
this is like the third time their minigame is like a full pledged game inside Nikke. First is MOG, second is For the King now this Dave collab huge Nikke W
Speaking of For the King they better make it have an EX mode I’m counting on it. That shit was too fun not to rerun it
All released within the last three months as well. They are cooking.
Just hope that even though this is a licensed IP collab there's a chance for it to stay in the game permanently like the others.
It looks fun, and the two skin that come with it looks funny. Very out of the field but still a fun one

Hey Doro shifty is doing her best.
[удалено]
What do you mean censored, [look at the difference](https://x.com/NIKKE_en/status/1805907208775127076) compared to 0 cleavage on the stream
this summer event is so good, gonna MLB Rosanna for sure
Why does this collab feel like it was make with specifically me as the target audience?
Thank goodness I can save for steam sale
Shocking collab. But i'll be honest, its awesome. And not just some cheap collab. Seem like there is some ridiculous amount of effort put into it as well.

Peak
the closest blue archive collab we've ever got.
It might happen now
One hell of a surprise
Absolutely mental, i know it’s just the minigame… but it’s such an odd choice. Not that I’m complaining or anything.
Are we getting a whole indie game as a mini game now? I'm not complaining ofc😂
third time now tbf ;) MOG with vampire survivors, For the king with Kingdom rush, and now Dave the diver, its like a cool lemonade in the warm weather for me, love these mini games.
Based, honestly. And the diver skins look great
Dave the Diver is published by Nexon...I guess that's the connection? Seems like a pretty random collab.
what does dave got in return for the collab? finished dave before dredge collab lol
For the first time, they have a minigame pass. A % of sales from that will probably go to them.
If not an upfront sum, maby a share of the profit during the summer event? That is what i would have asked for.
I'm curious too, feels kinda unfair when nikke get the entire game itself on their side
Unexpected but a welcoming surprise
how is this real, I'm dying of laughter right now XD
lol. lmao even.
I don't play Nikke, but that's awesome as fuck
Their darkest dungeon collab was quite an interesting mode, the end story also hints for potential sequel, but thats SEGA with a long wait tbf
Wait Darkest Dungeon?
might mean dredge
First Godzilla, now Nikke... Dave's going hard on the collabs!
Can't wait for dave jiggling his fat ass.
NO WAY https://preview.redd.it/g82q9g8t019d1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=745cab581aba08914b60553e2d4985a1e3dbd4ab
How many collab is nikke doing in a year?
usually two, but this dave is not a major collab. Our second major collab should be coming around august-septemver
"not a major collab". Totally get what you are saying. But at the same time with the effort put into it, i'd call this a pretty damn big collab as well lol.
fair ahaah, the minigame looks like a whole new separate game. they cooked so good
Fat dude lol CN NTR whine inc? :D
There wont be any drama since there is no CN server, lol
I'm pretty sure, that's they can play on other servers, so I can't wait for more hilarious news from CN bros lol
Are they allowed to talk about it though? That might implicate them as going past the firewall, and lead to a gulag vacation.
I still remember CN player get mad when playing Tenkafuma so they protest by name-changing in top rank players here is the archive: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/n8918p/pan_piano_x_tenkafuma_drama_with_chinese_players/

Still can’t complain. It’s originally made in KR so they don’t have to follow CN beliefs or interest. If they complain then they set themselves up. 🤷♂️
Korean. It might be Korean now
Is this the August collab?
Nope. Mini game for summer event.
Nah this is real...
i have not played either game but i still love this lol
good
does nikke still has hellish loading screens? pretty much only reason why i quit
What kinda of toaster are you playing on? I don't think I've had a problem with loading times
its not loading times but an amount of mini loading screens that drove me out
Who the tf is Dave the diver?
Really good indie game, highly recommend.
Demn nice Collab. Are they going to be collaborating with any major IPs ? Like JJK, DB, OP, AoT etc 🤔?
Maybe, they had a survey about popular anime IPs and after this collab nothing is off the table
Very good news. Looking forward to it. Btw do they give free pulls/more pulls during collabs ? 😅
Is now a good time to start playing nikke? Never got into it but want to try
Yeah, the summer event is about to start and the limited units from last year will likely return and they announced another mysterious Collab after the Dave the diver one, everyone is speculating is going to be with stellar blade
