This is cool! These are the first games Kotaro Uchikoshi, now of Zero Escape and Somnium Files fame, first became known for. I know Ever17 had an English release in the early 2000s and Never7 has a fan tl I believe but getting official translations with I assume QOL features in a modern port is awesome.

Kinda funny that this is billed as the Ernest Evans Collection despite two of the three games focusing on Anett? Anyway I’ve always had a real soft spot for these games (and they’re very IC 6 or 7 / 11 games), even if they don’t so much hold up for me, so I’m glad they’re getting collected.

The new power rangers game that has Christian whitehead written all over it directly copies it megazord mechanics from the mech battles of Goemon’s Great Adventures while using the SEGA 3D art style and I’m so glad that dude is getting to continue making the best backwards-facing games of all time. I wish they’d let him do more sonic.

Nintendo music is something I should be excited by but I just can’t. I more often find stuff I enjoy getting copywrite claimed. Also this era of Nintendo with the broad monotonous red color scheme is not something I appreciate aesthetically. I’d prefer gray, even.

Nintendo should embrace a dark mode setting that’s maroon.

that would be sweet. remember when they did stuff like that during the DS era? They have really been sleeping on the mature neutrals during the entire switch era. Part of my extreme disappointment with their squandered potential (and promise) of a variety of joycon.

Apparently this game came out a few days ago. It wasn’t even on my radar until I read this review. I’ve been working for giant corporations for my entire career, so sign me up!

Edit: apparently it has a “unique country-based difficulty system”. Neat!

Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.
