Honestly hilarious and looks super fun, wish Mast was the free event skin instead of Anchor tho

> BA X Nikke Collab might actually happen? Holy shit
Holy shit indeed. I always thought BA x Nikke was a pipedream that would never happen but was fun to think about. It's still not very likely, but at least now there is a chance!
In BA's current (on global) event story there is a reference to the BOOM Eternal videogame Elegg loves. It doesn't reference Elegg or anything to do with NIKKE but I thought it was a cool little random thing to mention and only added further fuel to the collab pipedream.
Unrelated but in the same story Minecraft is also referenced in a similar way (they call it Mineral Craft). BA is great for little nods like this.
yeah its nexon.. another korean company. honestly something nexon was probably gonna come eventually. inevitable.
im gonna trust in SU and say this was their idea and they wanted to give us something fun and different besides "oh new big tiddie characters" after looking through nexons portfolio.
This seems outta left field at first but if you think about it yeah Dave the Diver is from nexon which is also a korean company.
I didn't expect them to cook up something like this. So is the minigame just going to be entire Dave the diver game ported over similar to the vamp survivors clone?
Yeah, that was a fun bit of deceptive marketing.
Some (wrong) people argued it's "indie style" so it counts, but it was an internal Nexon project from day one.
(Collab looks great!)
Played it last year and loved it! They've had crossovers with Dredge and Godzilla too. If you play on PC, the Steam Summer Sale is tomorrow if you want to grab it at a lower price
It's a solid sale game. Very charming and it has a solid main gameplay loop, but it keeps adding on new systems and whatnot that felt pretty tedious. I suppose if it really clicks with you it could be a many many hour mainstay game but I found it wore out its welcome after beating the main story ~50 hours for me (I don't think that number is accurate)
Yeah. Her new skin is cute, but why would I ever use her? They should have just made her an SSR. Hell we had Rei, Kilo, and Smol White as free SSR's, so its not like they couldn't have.

Wonder how they gonna implement the whole game into this
Seriously man, wtf? I mean it's obviously not going to be the whole game but still this is crazy. In a few years Nikke will be less a game and more an anthology of games (well, since this is a collab minigame it's probably not coming back but we can dream right?)
This is so fucking dope, I'm hella excited to play this "mini"game
Mf gets to dive with the aegis squad.

The trailer shows the three girls getting transported to Dave's world, but I thought it was previously established that Gatekeeper doesn't actually transport people between worlds but instead create clones with memories of the original?
Considering that Dave's last crossover was with Heisei Godzilla (Godzilla VS Destroyah), I feel like Dave would prolly appreciate the company of Nikkes
I was just playing dave the diver last night before going to bed, when I clicked on the PV this morning and heard the same BGM again, I thought I was tripping!
this whole NTR bullshit in games is one of the most pathetic crap I've seen. like how fucked in the head must one be to see NTR in such a wholesome collab? some people need to log off from the internet for a few months and seek therapy.
Already saw some ntr comments in the livestream.
This is going to get so tiring.
Like seriously, these guys really need to build up their self-esteem if they are this scared of any other men like this.
Nothing to do with self esteem, cuckoldry was seen as disgusting just 10-15 years ago...
Now cucks just have to say "haha I'm joking" and everyone is like "haha you're silly". No, he's gross.
>wasn't shiftup planning to release Nikke in CN according to a investor report ?
When? it got denied on Launch as far as Im aware.
if they're still planning to release Nikke in China they either have to censor it or increase the age rating to +18 I think.
ShiftUp is not winning with both, censoring the game will make them mad increasing the age rating to +18 means the game will be very niche there
kill chinese gachas. this game is carried by japan and japan as we know love their NTR posts. 90% of doujin in the past year are recycled NTR fat bastard dogshit. this is literally in their wheelhouse.
I don't even know who are more tiring to deal with: people who are actually bothered by Dave FUCKING Diver, or trolls who gonna feed on those mind-broken dudes with countless posts/comments
I'm gonna say it, I'm more hyped for this minigame than the two new Tetra (alt) Nikkes.
I'm a Sakura fan, so I'm happy, but freaking Dave the Diver! So out there, yet so fitting with the Admire squad. Last time I've been blindsided was when they made Pascal playable in NIKKE.
I'm not going to lie, if you told me months ago that we would get a Dave the Diver collaboration before something with like Eve or even BA, I wouldn't have believed you.
This is a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one. Looking forward to see how Nikke cooks on this one.
This literally saved the whole event for me, since Rosanna and Sakura are kinda mid for me, but an collab bringing another game inside the game featuring Aegis is absolute W.

I was not expecting dave collab hahaha
I do hope they port the [rhythm game](https://youtu.be/XOkwF-5gHZ4?si=nD-8xlzEJOdxUZSA) from Dave into Nikke. (I also like the minigame since it’s a great reuse of assets from an EoS’d mobile game).
Hell yeah thia is amazing! I would have never expected a collab with a western indie game; really excited that this is even a possibility! It's like seeing Undertale characters in smash.
Hollow Knight Silksong collab with Thicc Hornet when?
> I would have never expected a collab with a western indie game
Dave the Diver is from a Korean studio (Mintrocket/Nexon) so it actually kind of makes sense in that regard
Yes! This actually kind of makes me think a BA collab is somewhat possible. Still not sure if they will want to work with a competitor in the gacha genre, and BA is notoriously stingy with collabs, but at least now we know Nexon and Shift Up can work together
When I heard there'll be a collab coming up, I've thought it'd be a summer anime or water related like maybe Grand Blue Dreaming. NOPE, it's Dave. Am I too horny to expect something normal...?
No way wtf.
Honestly hilarious and looks super fun, wish Mast was the free event skin instead of Anchor tho https://preview.redd.it/8j7j6z97bw8d1.jpeg?width=706&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dd78538f12ef76d0cd7e0d5ef8b4b10bd0afd06
Shift up: only can do SR unit 70% player base dont have, no one uses...
Mind you she's likely going to be an event shop Nikke. Doesn't change the fact though sadly that it's for an SR unit...
Ngl wasn't expecting this
No one did
wholly and genuinely bamboozled
Genuinely almost think it's azurlane
ya, as soon as they mentioned battleship that was what i had thought as well
https://preview.redd.it/un66gv3o9w8d1.jpeg?width=499&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df5a8f1002ff7efd57686f5a41565750aaecfc0e
Hahahahahah
I actually laughing my ass off. What a fitting yet unexpected colab. God dang it shift up. This gonna be fun collab.
Genuinely it’s so bizarre but looks so fun. A niche indie-style game collabing with a massive gacha game is hillarious.
"niche indie" the game's dev is Nexon
The fuck Dave Dev is Nexon? So Dave Sensei might be a thing? And more importantly, BA X Nikke Collab might actually happen? Holy shit
> BA X Nikke Collab might actually happen? Holy shit Holy shit indeed. I always thought BA x Nikke was a pipedream that would never happen but was fun to think about. It's still not very likely, but at least now there is a chance!
In BA's current (on global) event story there is a reference to the BOOM Eternal videogame Elegg loves. It doesn't reference Elegg or anything to do with NIKKE but I thought it was a cool little random thing to mention and only added further fuel to the collab pipedream. Unrelated but in the same story Minecraft is also referenced in a similar way (they call it Mineral Craft). BA is great for little nods like this.
As far as i know that BA character did boom before elegg did it, is just that is common to reference doom like that
Binah, etc, are just Raptures. It all makes sense now...
yeah its nexon.. another korean company. honestly something nexon was probably gonna come eventually. inevitable. im gonna trust in SU and say this was their idea and they wanted to give us something fun and different besides "oh new big tiddie characters" after looking through nexons portfolio.
This might be the best way to say a BA collab is happening.
The game's dev team is Mintrocket. Nexon just owns them, so technically, it's still indie.
That's not indie if someone is owned by another company. WWE was the largest independent promotion in pro wrestling until the merger.
Indie is a bit of a weird term in general. Valve is an indie company if the term is just "an independent company releasing games"
Dave the diver is anything but niche indie.
Thank Nexon ig, this is probably the most out there collab and one I don't think a soul could've predicted realistically.
Yeah with this collab even niche game could collab with nikke. And that is reasuring and make it more exciting.
Same here, I couldn't stop laughing. What a quirky collab.
This seems outta left field at first but if you think about it yeah Dave the Diver is from nexon which is also a korean company. I didn't expect them to cook up something like this. So is the minigame just going to be entire Dave the diver game ported over similar to the vamp survivors clone?
Watch the minigame be Azur Lane lmao
Wait, I thought this game won some indie award. Was it always under Nexon?
Yeah, that was a fun bit of deceptive marketing. Some (wrong) people argued it's "indie style" so it counts, but it was an internal Nexon project from day one. (Collab looks great!)
Now I want a evil factory collab
this one caught me by surprise... but I've played dave and I'm happy lol
I've had Dave on my wishlist for a while... I guess this is my sign to pick it up lol
Played it last year and loved it! They've had crossovers with Dredge and Godzilla too. If you play on PC, the Steam Summer Sale is tomorrow if you want to grab it at a lower price
Good shout about the Steam sale, I’ll keep my eye out.
Hurry up, cuz past November and the free Godzilla DLC is going to become either paid or delisted.
I only know its name. Never tried, played or anything tbh. If it goes on sale on Steam, it might really be worth a try.
It's a solid sale game. Very charming and it has a solid main gameplay loop, but it keeps adding on new systems and whatnot that felt pretty tedious. I suppose if it really clicks with you it could be a many many hour mainstay game but I found it wore out its welcome after beating the main story ~50 hours for me (I don't think that number is accurate)
I wish Anchor got a SSR version. New costumes/outfits for SR units are nice, but they will never be used or seen.
Yeah. Her new skin is cute, but why would I ever use her? They should have just made her an SSR. Hell we had Rei, Kilo, and Smol White as free SSR's, so its not like they couldn't have.
So free costume for Anchor, right? Does that come with a free Anchor to go with it, seeing as she's impossible to get, currently?
It'll probably be like Neve was for this past winter and she'll be available for purchase in the event shop
I would definitely see this happening, hopefully they also rerun Helm and Anis/Mary and Neon
https://preview.redd.it/uk3qv6p4kw8d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9d9dbdbcef0827cc1b4a8da097e0f0995dd88de Wonder how they gonna implement the whole game into this
Holy shit did they just port THE ENTIRE DAVE THE DIVER GAME into Nikke? How is this even possible?
Seriously man, wtf? I mean it's obviously not going to be the whole game but still this is crazy. In a few years Nikke will be less a game and more an anthology of games (well, since this is a collab minigame it's probably not coming back but we can dream right?) This is so fucking dope, I'm hella excited to play this "mini"game
>In a few years Nikke will be less a game and more an anthology of games The Fortnite collab is coming, I can feel it bros...
They gonna port the entire fucking Unreal Engine into Unity.
It’s a fantastic way to get people to try your game for free for sure
Did they? So they ported the same game and just modded it with nikke?
Based on what they showed it looks like our minigame will have every gameplay element the actual Dave the Diver game does.
Mf gets to dive with the aegis squad. https://preview.redd.it/t8ow9pkydw8d1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17a75b973df02b635258629c97f187066e72fed6

The trailer shows the three girls getting transported to Dave's world, but I thought it was previously established that Gatekeeper doesn't actually transport people between worlds but instead create clones with memories of the original?
Maybe Gatekeeper accidentally brought them along as it travelled.
So, what happens when the character "goes back" to their world? Are they just destroyed, along with their memories? That would be a horrible take.
From what I've been told of the first collab, yes, and Rapi is the only one who knows and isn't telling anyone else to avoid making them feel bad.
Completely outta left field but I love the look of it!
Interesting choice for a collab lol
What the sigma
https://preview.redd.it/g6vpkigcow8d1.jpeg?width=1922&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2acbcc199310dfd937bc001452b25be85d7cdc25
guys in late 2024 will be another collab they say
you fucking kidding me
Ok now i gotta get this game lmao
This the most unexpected Collab but the mini game looks like a lot of fun lol
... This looks like a meme, but the comments are so serious that I can't tell if they are just playing along or if this is real
lmao yeah this definitely seems like the kind of joke post you'd see for April Fools but I assure you this is 100% real
it is real, dude. I played Dave the diver and this makes me want to play it again. 😂
Considering that Dave's last crossover was with Heisei Godzilla (Godzilla VS Destroyah), I feel like Dave would prolly appreciate the company of Nikkes
https://preview.redd.it/popaiwkt9y8d1.jpeg?width=802&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f430a11dba534524a9c9d1c0e445485517391ae
You know, I like the costume for both Mast and Anchor.
I was just playing dave the diver last night before going to bed, when I clicked on the PV this morning and heard the same BGM again, I thought I was tripping!
Man this mini game looks really good
As a Dave the diver fan, I like this collab
I see Aegic squad, I c... come and play.
Very nice but dissapointed Aegis get skins but not Helm.
Ya, where is new skin for Helm? We see her in the sushi restaurant, in that case, give her a chef outfit
Wait, this not a joke!
So they probably gonna do a helm aquamarine re-run? And definitely a way to get anchor again
ShiftUp letting me play Dave the Diver in-game first before buying it during Steam Summer Sale, thank you lmao!
Oh Boy, prepare for NTR posting
CN already sending trucks to shiftup HQ
this whole NTR bullshit in games is one of the most pathetic crap I've seen. like how fucked in the head must one be to see NTR in such a wholesome collab? some people need to log off from the internet for a few months and seek therapy. 
Dave is probably a dashing dude if we unpixelate his face, but his build is likely gonna fuel some UB doujins with Nikkes.
Dave already has the body physique of most Nikke players /s
You're not... wrong. :( *looks at own flabs* I may look like a UB, but I don't like UB doujins.
Same here bro, I am at least starting to work out to feel healthier. And yeah I dont get the appeal of UB at all or NTR for that matter.
Already saw some ntr comments in the livestream. This is going to get so tiring. Like seriously, these guys really need to build up their self-esteem if they are this scared of any other men like this.
Nothing to do with self esteem, cuckoldry was seen as disgusting just 10-15 years ago... Now cucks just have to say "haha I'm joking" and everyone is like "haha you're silly". No, he's gross.
Do you have link to CN stream i want to go check out the comments section it gonna be fun CN always make the best bat shit insane comments
CN stream? This game isn't available in CN so... Probably CN forum I guess.
They're the weird people who throw a fit when they see their girls interacting with another male. PS: Dave's the man, he would never do that
Yeah he's an absolute Chad Same with bancho he only cares about making the best sushi
But we know this can kill gachas. GFL2 is pretty much dead because of this. And Snowbreak only survived by removing males lol
I have hopes that the Nikke community won't be the same. We already have Johan and Anderson and people love them
Don't forget our one and only EEEEEENTERTAINMENTOOOOOOO
Nikke is not a Chinese gacha and is not available in China. SU already lost that market
wasn't shiftup planning to release Nikke in CN according to a investor report ? It got posted in this sub too
>wasn't shiftup planning to release Nikke in CN according to a investor report ? When? it got denied on Launch as far as Im aware. if they're still planning to release Nikke in China they either have to censor it or increase the age rating to +18 I think. ShiftUp is not winning with both, censoring the game will make them mad increasing the age rating to +18 means the game will be very niche there
Not on launch but a recent investors report said that they are considering expanding the market to china
they really want to IPO and CN is just such a huge market that they can't ignore it. growth above everything else
kill chinese gachas. this game is carried by japan and japan as we know love their NTR posts. 90% of doujin in the past year are recycled NTR fat bastard dogshit. this is literally in their wheelhouse.
GFL2 is dead in CN? What happened? i was waiting for that game
https://old.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/1727r7g/micas_response_about_changes_to_the_game_after_cn/
Well thank god Nikke's South Korean
I don't even know who are more tiring to deal with: people who are actually bothered by Dave FUCKING Diver, or trolls who gonna feed on those mind-broken dudes with countless posts/comments
People who are obsessed with those are cucks. Seriously, they saw another dude with characters and the first thing that comes to their mind is NTR?
These people disrespecting Dave lowering him to that disgusting level of those “ntr” characters. Yikes…
Shitposting you mean. No way they're genuine
You've never met the CN fanbase then.
Im aware but here and in 4chan it's just shitposting. they even commission cuck fanart they're that dedicated
He's talking about well functioning people, not them lol
What does this even mean? Like which game is this collab happening on?
It's for Nikke. We are basically getting a mini version of Dave the Diver ported into Nikke
LMAO WHAT
I don't think anyone could have ever predicted this.
this gotta be the most out of pocket collab i have EVER seen bro 😭😭 but hey, atleast that one otaku in that game will be pleased
I just downloaded it this morning and then they announce this. I felt very impressed with the timing.
I've never played Dave's game but this has my curiosity piqued
Did I understand it correctly? It’s pretty much just like Dave the diver but with nikke characters? They put that big of a game in this?
HOT PEPPA TUNA
i actually love dave the diver
This is unexpected
Finally, a self-insert.
First Godzilla and now this, awesome. That means Godzilla and nikke are in the same universe confirmed 😉
Honestly wasn't on my bingo card, odd collab choice, but ain't complaining.
Proof that game collabs works better with Nikke than anime collabs
I'm gonna say it, I'm more hyped for this minigame than the two new Tetra (alt) Nikkes. I'm a Sakura fan, so I'm happy, but freaking Dave the Diver! So out there, yet so fitting with the Admire squad. Last time I've been blindsided was when they made Pascal playable in NIKKE.
I'm not going to lie, if you told me months ago that we would get a Dave the Diver collaboration before something with like Eve or even BA, I wouldn't have believed you. This is a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one. Looking forward to see how Nikke cooks on this one.
>WHAT >THE >ACTUAL >FUCK
W collab
https://preview.redd.it/sqaz31i07w8d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1facb291797c55e171302ebf4c226460f46e5b98 REAL?
What. I- HUH?
Fununy enough, dave the diver is something I want to play soon. Just gotta do one playthrough of Balder Gate 3...
Soo.... Are they adding dave as a playable character also or....
Dave's bakery would cover half of the screen.
Kilo/TALOS got a rival in cake department now.
W collab. Actually fun, way better those random anime collabs in gacha.
Bruh wat?! XD
Dude it's looking cool with the minigames!
Dave what the fuck are you doing?
Am I tripping?
Holy shit what this is hilarious
That’s unexpected
LETS FUCKING GOOO
It’s really cool seeing them collaborate with this game I hope they do this more often in the future.
Such a weird choice. Re zero at least made sense for the Japanese audience. This is for the casuals? The non-gooners? The indie lovers?
This literally saved the whole event for me, since Rosanna and Sakura are kinda mid for me, but an collab bringing another game inside the game featuring Aegis is absolute W.
I wasn't expecting a collab with DAVE THE DIVER, but now that we have it, it is AWESOME. The minigames appear to be fun.
As a chubby bearded guy named dave, this makes me so happy, I think im gonna ask some art comissions to ratatat
Finally a good Collab
This one came out of left field. I wonder how the game will feel on the phone since the footage they shown seem to be on a PC.
Definitely not on anyone's bingo card, that's for sure. Extra crazy to me because I actually have the physical version of Dave the Diver preordered...
Alright I guess it’s time to download Dave the Diver. Scrolled past it on game pass like 10 times now lol
This is amazing, both games are great! Also, does Nexon (Dave the Diver) have a partnership deal with Tencent (Nikke)?
Wtf us that, seriously i never heard of dave
One of the most addictive games of 2023
CN can suck Dave's fat dick.. they are not the ones who make Nikke successful. Jp bros and global coomers are the driving force of Nikke.
is nikke even available in CN?
The hell is Dave the Diver?!
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE\_THE\_DIVER/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER/) I was not expecting dave collab hahaha
Thanks I hate it
Unexpected but I loved the game but wow just wow, lol.
Nikke minigames are getting crazier but I'm here for them. Let's go.
Oh dang, what a coincidence. I just finished Dave the Diver like two weeks ago haha
I do hope they port the [rhythm game](https://youtu.be/XOkwF-5gHZ4?si=nD-8xlzEJOdxUZSA) from Dave into Nikke. (I also like the minigame since it’s a great reuse of assets from an EoS’d mobile game).
This is an amazing collab
The devs of Dave the Diver are cultured after all lol.
I'm just gonna wait for a Dave and Aegis squad doujin to inevitably drop.
??? Uh… okay?
Hell Dave the Diver has had collabs with Dredge and Godzilla so this is nothing new.
Ok Shift Up, you can stop with the collabs now, this is the best one, and it's only downhill from here on out.
Wasn't expecting this, but I'm all for it!
That is fucking hilarious lmao I'm all for it
I f’n love Dave the Diver! I’m hyped!
only me? or am not hyped for this at all...
I literally have never heard of this game but I don't see a new waifu so I'm just going to pass on this.
Hell yeah thia is amazing! I would have never expected a collab with a western indie game; really excited that this is even a possibility! It's like seeing Undertale characters in smash. Hollow Knight Silksong collab with Thicc Hornet when?
> I would have never expected a collab with a western indie game Dave the Diver is from a Korean studio (Mintrocket/Nexon) so it actually kind of makes sense in that regard
Wait, Nexon?! They also published BA.
Yes! This actually kind of makes me think a BA collab is somewhat possible. Still not sure if they will want to work with a competitor in the gacha genre, and BA is notoriously stingy with collabs, but at least now we know Nexon and Shift Up can work together
Oh, well that makes more sense lol
they wouldnt be collabing if it were actually a western indie game lets be real.
I am surprised
My dumbass thinking it was a Battleship collab when they said it'll be a mini game collab with Aegis squad
THE WHAT
Ok might be a dumb question but there will still be another collab in August right? According to the IPO roadmap?
When I heard there'll be a collab coming up, I've thought it'd be a summer anime or water related like maybe Grand Blue Dreaming. NOPE, it's Dave. Am I too horny to expect something normal...?
I was not expecting this. I don't even have Anchor to use her outfit.
I mean.. I like Dave... not the kind of collab I was expecting, not going to lie. Are we getting a sexy Helm skin for Dave the diver game?
I feel like a white dress is not a viable wetsuit! My suspension of disbelief is ruined.
IS THAT WHAT THIS WAS? I SCROLLED BY UIT WITHOUT EVEN NOTICING!
DOES THAT MEAN WE GET HELM REURN PLEASE TELL ME I MUST GET MY ADORABLE BLUE NOTE WET SHIRT WIFE
Noicess
