Last week was a bit of a whirlwind, and in the chaos, we overlooked some interesting releases. Among them were three localized versions of the Cosmic Fantasy RPGs, a game titled Ultros (which, despite the name, isn’t offering any seafood soup), and Konami’s Kitten Kaboodle. Don’t mix up the latter with the Canadian drag performer, though!
An intriguing tidbit about our website: each page URL keeps ticking upwards without pause, and in setting up this article, it just so happened page number 70000 came into existence. I was secretly hoping this milestone would coincide with this week’s dispatch, but alas, the timing had a more apt tale to tell instead.
In terms of other gaming news, we have James’ favorite: "Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog." It’s a throwback to the “PC-8801 adventure” days, headlining amidst a sparse lineup this week. Not far behind are Piczle Cross: Rune Factory, a quirky mix of Picross and farming simulations, and Pro Wrestling Story by Kairosoft, which also deserves a nod. Be cautious with EggConsole’s RPG Burai: Jokan – best steer clear unless you’re fluent in Japanese.
North America Releases:
Here’s what’s fresh in North America this week. We’ve got "Jupiter Hell" listed at $24.99 US or $35.99 Canadian, and "Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog" for $19.99 US or $26.99 Canadian, among others. If you’re into voxel-based destruction, "Godzilla Voxel Wars" can be snagged for $14.99 US. On a lighter note, "Fashion Store Simulator" and "Lulu’s Temple" are charming additions for budget-conscious gamers. Also, look out for a sale on Devolver Digital titles running until the 25th.
