Choose New Releases
Ace Fight 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Version ($59.99)
Oh hey, an precise recent-ish Namco recreation on Swap that isn’t licensed fare. That doesn’t occur usually. It is a port of the somewhat glorious 2019 recreation that launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Home windows. I’m unsure how properly it has made the transition, however I’ll give it a attempt to see the way it goes. However sure, for those who’re on the lookout for fighter jet fight and loads of dramatic storytelling, you’ll be able to’t actually go fallacious with the Ace Fight video games.
Muv-Luv/Muv-Luv Different Remastered Double Pack ($64.99)
All of the Muvs, all of the Luvs. This will get you the entire Muv-Luv saga in all its bonkers glory in a single good package deal. This visible novel sequence begins as a somewhat generic rom-com however finally ends up being one thing fairly completely different and much more fascinating midway by way of the primary included recreation right here. The video games are additionally out there individually, however actually, you’ll need the entire thing for those who’re getting any of it. It is a a lot beloved a part of the visible novel canon, and it’s well-worth digging into for those who get pleasure from this style and someway haven’t performed it but.
Parasol Stars – The Story of Bubble Bobble III ($9.99)
It’s the third recreation within the Bubble Bobble sequence! No, not that one. No, not that one both. The different third one! The one on TurboGrafx-16! With the umbrellas! It’s a superb recreation. I feel it’s higher than Rainbow Islands, however not so good as Bubble Bobble. A whole continent disagrees with me. Properly, now you could find out your self. It’s a reasonably typical Ratalaika wrapper launch, however some work has been accomplished to make it really feel rather less like a plain brown paper bag. I’ll be reviewing this one quickly, however for those who already know the way you are feeling about Parasol Stars, you’ll be able to in all probability work out the remainder of the equation by yourself.
Princess Maker 2 Regeneration ($39.99)
A remake of the favored child-raising simulation recreation from 1993. This one relies on the 2004 Refine launch, with some visuals redrawn by Takami Akai right here and there to scrub issues up. It additionally has a brand new opening animation accomplished by Yonago-Gainax, in order that’s good. At its core, nevertheless, that is nonetheless the basic recreation that captured the eye of many gamers again within the day. Do your greatest to boost your daughter in order that she’ll develop as much as be a high quality, upstanding, comfortable grownup. Do it badly and… properly, so much can go fallacious. I’ll be reviewing this quickly as properly, so sit up for that if you would like extra particulars.
EGGCONSOLE Popful Mail PC-8801mkIISR ($6.49)
Wow! Popful Mail! I think about most of us within the English-speaking world know this recreation by way of its SEGA-CD incarnation if in any respect, and sadly I’ve to ask you to sluggish the prepare down for those who’ve simply seen the phrases “Popful Mail” and are operating to the store. Like different EGGCONSOLE releases, the in-game textual content right here is simply because it was within the unique Japanese launch, which is to say that it’s in Japanese. And there’s a good bit of textual content right here. That is additionally the unique PC-8801 model of the sport, and the SEGA-CD model was extra of an enhanced port that had numerous options you gained’t discover right here. I’ll be reviewing it early subsequent week to let you understand the totally skinny, however for those who can’t learn Japanese, rigorously contemplate earlier than shopping for.
Arcade Archives Tinkle Pit ($7.99)
Right here’s a pleasant obscurity. In 1993, Namco launched this recreation as a celebration of types of the corporate’s historical past in video video games. It’s a maze recreation the place you’re attempting to defeat the enemies, and also you do this by… okay, have you learnt these vacuum cleaners with the retractable cords? You step on the button and whoosh, the twine comes flying in on the pace of sound? Think about a recreation the place you assault enemies with that, and that’s Tinkle Pit. It’s numerous enjoyable, and likewise the title has had me laughing for about thirty years now.
Ogre Story ($19.99)
, once I consider MAGES, I have a tendency to consider visible novels. Not grindy action-RPG beat ’em ups, for certain. However that’s kind of what that is. It’s been out on PC for a couple of years, and I’d characterize the overall reception to it as “meh”. Since it’s MAGES, you a minimum of get a half-decent story to go along with the motion. Not likely sufficient to put it aside, however it’s one thing.
Evening Reverie ($14.99)
A type of barely spooky thriller journey video games. You’re a toddler wandering round a distorted, dream-like model of his home. Discuss to varied characters, accumulate objects, clear up puzzles, and discover. Attempt to discover out what’s actually occurring, for those who assume you’ll be able to deal with the reality. Jack Nicholson thinks you’ll be able to’t. Show him fallacious.
Moonshine Inc. ($19.99)
We’ve seen a couple of sorts of brewing sims through the years, and right here’s one devoted to the observe of constructing moonshine. Somewhat further spice, because it’s technically not authorized and all. Construct your base, make your moonshine together with your recipes of alternative, and so forth. The opinions for it over on PC are a bit smooth, however I think about when you’ve got a ample curiosity within the matter you’ll possible be capable to overlook some flaws.
Prune & Milo ($10.49)
It is a turn-based puzzle recreation with seventy-eight ranges to play by way of and two completely different characters to make use of. It’s alright, however it does really feel extra like a five-dollar recreation than a ten-dollar one. I depart it as much as you and your pockets.
Daylight Scream ($6.99)
A somewhat reasonably priced visible novel with a number of endings and a few decisions to make alongside the way in which. The story sees the principle character transferring from a giant metropolis to a small city, getting swept up in all method of drama virtually instantly. I’d put that seven bucks in the direction of Muv-Luv so far as visible novels go at present, however you do you.
Gluck ($6.99)
In case you dig digging video games, you would possibly dig Gluck. You’re attempting to revive the water provide by exploring the underground, however with a view to do this you must pose as a miner. And which means doing precise mining work, gathering and promoting ores to improve your gear, permitting you to progress farther. We’ve seen loads of video games like this, however not so many who yet one more isn’t welcome.
Let’s Purpose! Capturing Gallery ($5.00)
Persevering with the pageant theme of its current releases, SAT-BOX at present has a capturing gallery recreation for as much as 4 gamers. It is extremely firmly within the mini-game camp, so don’t anticipate a lot longevity or selection out of it. For a fiver it could be some good fast enjoyable for gaming events, although.

There’s a giant indie recreation sale occurring in Japan proper now, and I wouldn’t be stunned if we see some spill-over from that by the point I discuss to you once more.
