Pocky & Rocky Reshrined ($29.99)įollowing on from excellent remakes of Wild Guns and Ninja Warriors, Tengo Project and Natsume-Atari have a superb remake/reimagining of the classic Pocky and Rocky. It’s another fine adventure game, with a great story and some interesting puzzles to solve. Special Agents Mizuki and Ryuki are dispatched to solve the case with the help of their AI partners. But suddenly the left half has been found, and there are zero signs of any decay. The story goes that the right half of a corpse was discovered six years ago, which is probably not completely unreasonable given how weird some murderers can be. AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative ($59.99)ĪI: The Somnium Files kind of ruled, and it’s perhaps no big surprise that its follow-up also rules. A cool set for fans of Capcom’s one-on-one brawlers. You also get Super Gem Fighter/Pocket Fighter and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Hyper Street Fighter II, Cyber Bots, and for the first time ever at home, Red Earth. You get ten games here, with half of them essentially forming a complete collection of arcade Darkstalkers titles. I already reviewed this one a couple of days ago, but in case you missed it, I concluded that this is a solid collection of arcade games that is hurt only by how much it leans on Darkstalkers variants, how much its selection overlaps with Capcom Arcade Stadium, and the poor experiences I’ve had with its online play. You should probably do that if you haven’t, even if just on principle. Naturally, there are some spoilers here if you haven’t finished Three Houses yet.
Add in some Fire Emblem twists, and specifically some Three Houses twists, and you’re more than halfway there. It’s you against thousands, and somehow the board is still tilted in your favor. This time we’ve got another Fire Emblem-flavored spin, and given Koei Tecmo also made Three Houses in cooperation with Intelligent Systems, you can have some confidence in how they’ll handle these characters and the overall setting. New Releases Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes ($59.99) Hundreds of games, and those are just the ones I’ve noted here. There are a few big titles today, including Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Capcom Fighting Collection, AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative, Pocky & Rocky Reshrined, and more. In today’s article, we have a surprisingly large number of new releases to go through thanks to several dropping out of thin air yesterday. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 24th, 2022.
