Choose New Releases
Ace Fight 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Version ($59.99)
Oh hey, an precise recent-ish Namco sport on Swap that isn’t licensed fare. That doesn’t occur typically. It is a port of the slightly wonderful 2019 sport that launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Home windows. I’m undecided how properly it has made the transition, however I’ll give it a try to see the way it goes. However sure, when you’re on the lookout for fighter jet fight and loads of dramatic storytelling, you’ll be able to’t actually go flawed with the Ace Fight video games.
Muv-Luv/Muv-Luv Various 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 collection begins as a slightly generic rom-com however finally ends up being one thing fairly totally different and much more fascinating midway by the primary included sport right here. The video games are additionally obtainable individually, however actually, you’ll need the entire thing when you’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 when you take pleasure in this style and by some means haven’t performed it but.
Parasol Stars – The Story of Bubble Bobble III ($9.99)
It’s the third sport within the Bubble Bobble collection! No, not that one. No, not that one both. The opposite third one! The one on TurboGrafx-16! With the umbrellas! It’s sport. I believe 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 fairly typical Ratalaika wrapper launch, however some work has been executed to make it really feel rather less like a plain brown paper bag. I’ll be reviewing this one quickly, however when you already know the way you’re 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 sport from 1993. This one relies on the 2004 Refine launch, with some visuals redrawn by Takami Akai right here and there to wash issues up. It additionally has a brand new opening animation executed by Yonago-Gainax, in order that’s good. At its core, nonetheless, that is nonetheless the basic sport that captured the eye of many gamers again within the day. Do your greatest to lift your daughter in order that she’ll develop as much as be a effective, upstanding, pleased grownup. Do it badly and… properly, quite a bit can go flawed. I’ll be reviewing this quickly as properly, so stay up for that if you need 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 sport by its SEGA-CD incarnation if in any respect, and sadly I’ve to ask you to sluggish the prepare down when you’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 a variety of options you received’t discover right here. I’ll be reviewing it early subsequent week to let you already know the totally skinny, however when you can’t learn Japanese, fastidiously contemplate earlier than shopping for.
Arcade Archives Tinkle Pit ($7.99)
Right here’s a pleasant obscurity. In 1993, Namco launched this sport as a celebration of types of the corporate’s historical past in video video games. It’s a maze sport the place you’re making an attempt to defeat the enemies, and also you do this by… okay, are you aware 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 sport the place you assault enemies with that, and that’s Tinkle Pit. It’s a variety of enjoyable, and likewise the title has had me laughing for about thirty years now.
Ogre Story ($19.99)
You realize, once I consider MAGES, I have a tendency to consider visible novels. Not grindy action-RPG beat ’em ups, for certain. However that’s roughly what that is. It’s been out on PC for just a few years, and I might characterize the overall reception to it as “meh”. Since it’s MAGES, you not less than get a half-decent story to go together with the motion. Not likely sufficient to reserve it, but it surely’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. Speak to numerous characters, accumulate objects, resolve puzzles, and discover. Attempt to discover out what’s actually occurring, when you assume you’ll be able to deal with the reality. Jack Nicholson thinks you’ll be able to’t. Show him flawed.
Moonshine Inc. ($19.99)
We’ve seen just a few sorts of brewing sims through the years, and right here’s one devoted to the apply of constructing moonshine. A bit additional spice, because it’s technically not authorized and all. Construct your base, make your moonshine together with your recipes of selection, and so forth. The opinions for it over on PC are a bit smooth, however I think about when you’ve got a adequate curiosity within the subject you’ll doubtless have the ability to overlook some flaws.
Prune & Milo ($10.49)
It is a turn-based puzzle sport with seventy-eight ranges to play by and two totally different characters to make use of. It’s alright, but it surely does really feel extra like a five-dollar sport than a ten-dollar one. I go away it as much as you and your pockets.
Daylight Scream ($6.99)
A slightly reasonably priced visible novel with a number of endings and a few decisions to make alongside the best way. The story sees the principle character shifting from a giant metropolis to a small city, getting swept up in all method of drama nearly instantly. I’d put that seven bucks in the direction of Muv-Luv so far as visible novels go at the moment, however you do you.
Gluck ($6.99)
For those who dig digging video games, you may dig Gluck. You’re making an attempt to revive the water provide by exploring the underground, however with a purpose to do this you need to pose as a miner. And meaning 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 another isn’t welcome.
Let’s Intention! Capturing Gallery ($5.00)
Persevering with the competition theme of its latest releases, SAT-BOX at the moment has a taking pictures gallery sport for as much as 4 gamers. It is vitally firmly within the mini-game camp, so don’t anticipate a lot longevity or selection out of it. For a fiver it is likely to be some good fast enjoyable for gaming events, although.
