Santa Ana, CA (June 5, 2018) – NIS America is pleased to announce that Happy Birthdays releases today in North America and on June 8 in Europe for Nintendo Switch™! Originally released on the PlayStation®4 and Steam® as Birthdays the Beginning, Happy Birthdays contains the same in-game content, but with updated UI and game elements, including:
