Fortunately, the strong sales of the game appear to have turned the company&#8217;s future around.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Bloomberg, co-director (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/danganronpa_decadence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danganronpa<\/a> creator) Kazutaka Kodaka has revealed the title is &#8220;selling pretty well&#8221; at this point, and although no figures are attached, he goes on to mention how he no longer sees &#8220;bankruptcy as a serious future&#8221; for the team.

So, if you&#8217;re a fan of this kind of experience, it&#8217;s well worth a look.<\/p>\n<p>Did you show your support for this title on the Switch?
