## Key points

- Too Kyo Games submits physical-game builds early to meet manufacturing deadlines.
- Kodaka says day-one patches bring some builds up to an acceptable standard.
- Danganronpa 2x2’s Switch 2 collector’s edition will use a Game-Key Card.

## Summary

Kazutaka Kodaka, creator of Danganronpa and The Hundred Line, says Too Kyo Games sometimes submits unfinished builds for physical releases because manufacturing deadlines come well before digital release. He says the studio relies on day-one patches to bring those games to an acceptable standard, raising questions about what buyers can play without an internet connection.

Kodaka made the comments at the SKY31 Convention Seoul, describing early master submissions as necessary to allow time for packaging, particularly for collector’s editions. He said the builds only just meet platform certification requirements and assumed players could download updates. The article notes that even Ocarina of Time had a day-one patch, and that the upcoming Danganronpa 2x2 Switch 2 collector’s edition is set to use a Game-Key Card rather than a full cartridge.
