Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PC Created by legendary ex-Capcom game designer Tokuro Fujiwara (Ghosts 'n Goblins, Bionic Commando, Sweet Home), Tomba! was the first game released by his then-new company Whoopee Camp way back in 1997. It originally released on the original PlayStation, and became something of an instant cult classic. Though not a huge commercial success, it did spawn a sequel in 1999, as well as a PSOne Classics release in 2011. We're a bit over 25 years since its original release, and Limited Run Games has saw fit to drop Tomba! Special Edition (Which I'm simply going to refer to as "Tomba" from now on.) on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, and see if time has been nice to this game. I do have some experience with the original release, but it's been years since I've played it. This is going to be a fun one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Visual novels on VR platforms seems like an interesting concept, and it's one that developer My Dearest has taken a shot at several times. I can't say for sure if all their games were the result of crowd-funding, but I do know that their first, Tokyo Chronos, was. The game released back in 2019, and exceeded all expectations. It also launched a loosely connected series that has been ongoing on VR platforms and PC. It's been several years since those uncertain beginnings, and the first two games developed by My Dearest, Tokyo Chronos and Altdeus: Beyond Chronos, are available now on all major consoles. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version of the two-game package today, but I'm sure that it'll be indicative of all the other versions as well. There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1-2
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 5 Sunsoft is a legendary developer that has been getting something of a second wind in recent years. Though probably best-known in the US for their licensed games and the titles they published but didn't develop themselves, they have a long history of releasing several classic titles that never saw a release outside of Japan. Sunsoft is Back! Retro Game Selection features three games that fit that bill, and all were originally released for Japan's NES counterpart, the Famicom. The three games included in this collection are The Wing of Madoola, Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido, and Ripple Island. Though I would've preferred more titles in a collection such as this, I'll reserve final judgement until the end. Circling back to the actual review, this collection is coming soon to the all current consoles by way of Red Art Games, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. There's a lot to go over here, so let's get right to it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Sometimes I wish that something like the short story or short film format exists within video games, as I think it would help classify many titles. Obviously shorter games exist, but it's strange to see them often lumped together with larger games, or even open world experiences. Enter Deep Beyond. Deep Beyond is a short, first-person interactive thriller that is coming soon to consoles following an earlier release on Steam. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, and see if this shorter title is worth creating an entire new genre over. There's really no need for further intro, so let's dive right in! |
