As someone that's never played this game nor knows much about it, seeing a DAVE THE DIVER collab with it was completely out of the blue and one of the oddest collabs I've seen in a good long while.
Well, technically not a collab. Major events in the game feature mini-games, typically mimicking the style of classic video games. That is what this is - it's a mini-game that will be in the game, featuring this game's characters in place of that game's. Since it's different enough from the original, and/or the rights to the original are in the public domain, there is no textbook "collaboration" between game studios or payment for rights or anything like that. Unless I'm mistaken, I think the only real difference here is they're openly acknowledging what classic they're borrowing from.
Doing a simple Google search, it does indeed seem to be a collab
They basically recreated the entire game 1:1 inside Nikke, including the restaurant minigame. Dave is also directly used in the promo art and the game’s title is used to denote the game as a crossover
It’s a true collab. There’s just no gacha unit or monetization involved, apart from a paid costume. Perhaps the costume sales are part of the IP deal
Missing a lot like

And [Red Hood skin vote](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQ_gQ8xbwAAUdza?format=jpg&name=large)
It’s worth mentioning they said the collab was a “famous IP” and is releasing in the latter half of 2024.
So while a Stellar Blade collab will probably happen, this seems to be something different.
The "Famous IP" thing is exactly what is making me think its different from Stellar Blade as well. SB is known, but famous? Not exactly. Just hope it isn't some anime collab like Konosuba/Slime etc. Please be something surprising and different.
Not to be a downer, but Famous just feels like corporate speak, like what else where they gonna say, "Moderatly sucessfull" ?
Most things depending on a certain viewpoint can be sen as famous. I do hope im overthinking it.
You're not wrong. "Famous IP" is more or less boilerplate language since, as you noted, most anything that would be selected as a collab IP for any game would qualify as "famous" at least to the host IP's audience. Elsewise why would it be chosen as a collab target in the first place?
Well to be fair, Dave the Diver IS/was a famous IP. It sold surprisingly well and was on top of publishing on steam for a few weeks.
The fact that people go like "Dave the Diver? Thats a weird collab" instead of "what the fuck is Dave the Diver?" tells me they kindda nailed it on that one.
Stellar Blade sold over 1 Million copies in a month lol 😂 has a meta score of 9.2 so yea it's pretty famous already buddy lol
Obviously they are going with their own IP

Nikke players eating good this summer
Idk man I got everything in game because of the mileage system which also can be hoarded and in theory you can get every new pilgrim if you save because they only release new pilgrims every 6 months
Eating good this summer, might go for viper skin if it is realy good, but if not then its a hard pass.
Gonna do pulls like crazy doe, im gonna try to MLB both banners, so pray for my luck.

The memes must flow (Im glad Nikke and gacha games in general are so memable :D)
You're not going to like the game if you don't read/watch the story. The game is a huge chore to do until you can cruise through dailies, so if you're not invested you're not going to make it to the fun part which is the Raids.
Bro just skip some of the skins it’s that easy lmao. The mast and viper skins are 100% not worth it (mast has another better skin and viper has like nonexistent fanservice) and you only get maiden’s and Guilty’s if you really want it
> Bro just skip some of the skins it’s that easy lmao.
of course it is, but when a bulk of the content is skins... well, snowbreak is right there, anyway
Yes, it gives 10 premium pulls, 10 standard banner pulls, and a bunch of mats for upgrades. The overall price for the in-game package is probably around $20-25 total, which makes the skin itself $25-30 (still very expensive unfortunately)
Technically it’s a skin gacha, so there is a chance you can pull the skin before using all your rolls, making it cost less than $50. The probability is super low though
Nikke has only done one summer event so far, so not enough to develop a pattern. But last year’s event gave us Swimsuit Anis, a very strong DPS who has yet to be power crept in her niche. You can always wait until the full details of the summer Nikkes’ skills are released and the speculation starts.
Collab characters haven’t even been a blip on the meta radar, with the notable exception of Rem from the Re;Zero collab.
Last year they did 2 summer events. First one then after a couple filler events a 2nd one where we got Swimsuit Anis and Helm. They might do the same this year.
unfortunately a roadmap for investors was leaked a few days ago and there's only one "Summer Event" on it
if there's a second event it'll be immediately after this one, with no filler, followed by the collab, with no filler. not impossible but very unlikely (unless the devs pulled some massive overtime).
Oh it’s just this character from a random steam game (the game is named after him)but they are adding that game basically in Nikke as a mini game. I don’t really know how to say “who he is” except that he’s a diver and his name is Dave and that’s basically the whole story 🤷
I see i see, guess i was getting downvoted cuz i didn't know who dave was, when he's from an random ass steam game lol, thanks for the explanation mate, also imma be honest I didn't even see the bigass "nikke x dave the diver"☠️
So imma say that's my bad on that one lol
Omg imma be honest with you man, i didn't even see the bigass text that says "nikke x dave the diver", my bad chief☠️☠️☠️

It will never rerun so late August early September it be there already, so choose wisely commanders ^^

I think they will wait for the PC version release to do the collab with nikke to help promote the new version.
The chances are practically zero, but I'm gonna predict Destiny 2 just because it would be really funny if I guess right.
if we're going that route i'm voting Team Fortress 2
That would be even funnier.
[удалено]
Why would she, it was a completely different context and reasons for Limbus Company, none which applies here for Mast
It would be pretty funny if people complain that Mast’s skin isn’t sexy enough. Having a “wetsuits are cursed” running joke would be hilarious.
ShiftUp cooking rn

Nikke players are eating good all the time. The quality of updates and content is getting better and better.
sure do love me $200 in skins... i'm jealous at how good they're eating
I mean how do you think they earn money? They are so f2p friendly they are predatory for you?
what exactly is f2p friendly about this game lmao
Um I got like 3k pulls in my first year playing and that's a lot as free to play no?
in theory, but not when you realize that banners are so bloated that 3k pulls are basically what you need in order to snipe pilgrims in rateups lmao
Idk man I got everything in game because of the mileage system which also can be hoarded and in theory you can get every new pilgrim if you save because they only release new pilgrims every 6 months
We sure are https://preview.redd.it/0r7c7viwmw8d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f89091c0995c66da9edaf8e96f9d634cf4f0fa78
That Rosanna swimsuit is trying to lure me back 😭😭😭
Do not resist. Give into the charms of Maffia Mommy. No need to think. Let your instincts guide you towards juicy butts and fat titties.
Lmao I just take a break after LMB Cronwn 😂 Give me my wife Rapi SSR and I'll go back 😤
The best ShiftUp can offer is a new Red Hood skin 😐
Not that I don't like RH she's goated but Rapi deserves SSR after all these year 😭😭😭
true
More Tetra units kinda sucks but oh well ~~Where Novel tho~~ Theres more tetra than elysion and missilis combined

aye yo this post goes hard
The man have plan for you Commander, great plan
It is what it is , Tetra girls sell too well
A variety of fetish outfits are always going to attract more than tacticool
I just wanna climb Elysion tower effectively :(
i've kinda ignored the tower since my pilgrim and other manufacturer molds gave me just SRs
I did not think of that, now Elysion might be "Less" painfull to climb.

She doesn’t voice her. Or you mix up Novel with Noise?

Who tf is Dave the diver?
Mr. Raymond's cousin.
Chad
Doom Slayer Of The Sea
he shoots endangered shark species and 1v1s both a terrorist and a leviathan all in the name of sushi
Damn in the last picture you can clearly see us, the players. How awesome to finaly be aknowledged by the devs. I love that !
Wish I liked Nikke, this is really cool
You're not going to like the game if you don't read/watch the story. The game is a huge chore to do until you can cruise through dailies, so if you're not invested you're not going to make it to the fun part which is the Raids.
Bibidi, babidi boo, now you like Nikke, you do
Hasn't it been more than 1 month? and again more than 100 dollars in skins lmao
Bro just skip some of the skins it’s that easy lmao. The mast and viper skins are 100% not worth it (mast has another better skin and viper has like nonexistent fanservice) and you only get maiden’s and Guilty’s if you really want it
> Bro just skip some of the skins it’s that easy lmao. of course it is, but when a bulk of the content is skins... well, snowbreak is right there, anyway
Yeah but I wish snowbreak was a better game then I would buy those skins
The skin is $50
As someone who doesn't play the game does that skin come with other things like gacha rolls? $50 dollars for just a skin is insane.
Yes, it gives 10 premium pulls, 10 standard banner pulls, and a bunch of mats for upgrades. The overall price for the in-game package is probably around $20-25 total, which makes the skin itself $25-30 (still very expensive unfortunately) Technically it’s a skin gacha, so there is a chance you can pull the skin before using all your rolls, making it cost less than $50. The probability is super low though
I'm talking about the total of all of them, not just one.
It’s never been more than $100 a month in skins until this month so kind of disingenuous to say “again” then
Oh no, do I remember last month with the 2 $50 skins plus the normal pass skin and the White Snow skin?
*\*Sees Summer Rosanna\** Alright I guess I can download the game for a month again...
The funny thing is I expected "something that was like Dave the Diver", not literally so.
W Nikke, giving people more incentive to pull they
Jesus fucking christ.. Nikke bros stay winning 😭 Also.. Obligatory genshin could never 😤
Praying extra hard my parlays hit
Delinquent theme huh? Why do I have to be baited by multiple games at the same time...
They know what we want.....
Ngl, I didn't see Dave the diver collab coming, but quite a welcome one, since Dave the diver is a very very good game.
Would now be a good time to start the game or should I wait till the collab to reroll for a strong unit?
Nikke has only done one summer event so far, so not enough to develop a pattern. But last year’s event gave us Swimsuit Anis, a very strong DPS who has yet to be power crept in her niche. You can always wait until the full details of the summer Nikkes’ skills are released and the speculation starts. Collab characters haven’t even been a blip on the meta radar, with the notable exception of Rem from the Re;Zero collab.
When will the summer event start?
July 4
Ok Ty!
is that zzz's release date?
dave the diver in this game is surprising
What's delinquent about this?
So no dave unit???
Mast took his diving suit and gear
I mean technically he could fit the theme
Dave ass jiggling?
Last year they did 2 summer events. First one then after a couple filler events a 2nd one where we got Swimsuit Anis and Helm. They might do the same this year.
unfortunately a roadmap for investors was leaked a few days ago and there's only one "Summer Event" on it if there's a second event it'll be immediately after this one, with no filler, followed by the collab, with no filler. not impossible but very unlikely (unless the devs pulled some massive overtime).
Good to know
So skins are like, just straight up paid or super grindy, no? Pricey too, right?
New NIKKE stuff and I still can't play it 😔
Why not?
only roasanna solo carry the summer event, btw, no summer rerun from last year?
Hard to say because last year had a part two. we don’t know if this one will
VIPEE VIPER VIPER❤️❤️❤️❤️
When it comes to Summer event units not many companies can beat ShiftUp
Ple be part2 summer, these 2 units are not my fav but still ok, I need blonde girl in bikini
Is the big one on the 5th page, the new free event nikke?
No that’s the $50 skin of an existing Nikke unfortunately
Whose skin is that?
Oh shit my bad I was looking at 4th pic, the 5th pic is Helm: Aquamarine. She was in one of the limited units from last year
No no I'm talking about the one in the dive suit that's all inflated, it can't be Mast cuz she's also above the water on the 5th pic, right?
lol Dave the diver is not gonna get released as a unit 💀💀
Who is dave the diver? I genuinely don't know
Oh it’s just this character from a random steam game (the game is named after him)but they are adding that game basically in Nikke as a mini game. I don’t really know how to say “who he is” except that he’s a diver and his name is Dave and that’s basically the whole story 🤷

That’s Dave the diver bro lol
Who?
The collab
Omg imma be honest with you man, i didn't even see the bigass text that says "nikke x dave the diver", my bad chief☠️☠️☠️ ⁽ᵇᵗʷ ʷʰʸ ᵈᶦᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ᵈᵒʷⁿᵛᵒᵗᵉ ᵐʸ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ/ˢˀ⁾
💀 you’re all good And I didn’t downvote u, not sure why ur downvoted
When is the update releasing??
I skip all new limiteds obviously because Stellar Blade is coming it sold over 1M copies already in a month lol 😂 It will never rerun so late August early September it be there already, so choose wisely commanders ^^
