Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance delivers a full-fledged RPG that can be enjoyed by existing and new fans. At the start of the game, players will choose between two paths: the story told in the original Shin Megami Tensei V, the Canon of Creation, or the brand-new Canon of Vengeance. This dramatic new tale of revenge introduces brand-new characters, an enigmatic cohort of demons called the Qadištu, a new dungeon and a new map to explore. Additionally, the original Shin Megami Tensei V battle system, demon merging and field exploration have been evolved and expanded in this newest entry in the series.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will be released on July 14th, 2024.

D4 Enterprise has published quite a few classic games for their EGGCONSOLE series and today they bring us a new addition: WANDERERS FROM Ys PC-8801mkIISR.

The game is priced at $6.49 and it only takes 99 MB of space. You can get the game directly from this link.

The third installment of “Ys” with even more action-packed elements! Two years after the Ys adventure. Save Dogi’s hometown, Felghana, from the clutches of evil! This is an action RPG released in Japan by Nihon Falcom in 1989. The subtitle ‘WANDERERS FROM Ys’ marks this installment as an ambitious project that incorporates new elements. The perspective has shifted from a ‘half-top view’ to a ‘side view,’ and the method of attack has changed from physical collisions to swinging a sword, allowing for a variety of actions.

Furthermore, magic serves merely as a complement to combat and the outcome of battles relies on the player’s skill. Adol’s growth can be seen as a testament to one’s own improvement.

Of course, the concept of the Ys series as “RPGs enjoyable for everyone” remains intact. Alongside its engaging storyline, the game features beautiful background visuals with “multi-scrolling” and lively music, making it a finely crafted masterpiece down to the smallest details.

• The main game and gallery screen (*Gallery) are in Japanese version.
• Other menu screens and ““How to play”” screens are in English.

Prepare to take the stage of battle today as Primarina is now appearing at black Tera Raid crystals.

During the latter half of this event—from Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT—Blissey will be appearing more frequently in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. These Blissey will have various Tera Types, so prepare wisely before challenging them! Defeating Blissey will yield some delightful rewards, such as various Tera Shards and bonus Exp. Candies.

To challenge Fairy–Tera Type Primarina with the Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to either complete the postgame events that follow the main story or join a 7-star Tera Raid Battle hosted by a Trainer who has completed those events. This special Primarina can be caught only once per save data. You can still participate in Tera Raid Battles against this Primarina if you’ve already caught it to obtain other rewards—including significant amounts of Exp. Candy for leveling up your Pokémon, treasures that can be sold at Pokémon Centers, items for improving your Pokémon’s stats, and Fairy Tera Shards for changing your Pokémon’s Tera Type.

Fitness Boxing has seen a lot of success as a series. As such, we’ve seen great collaborations in the past for it, with the latest one being Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU. The game was first released as a Japanese exclusive on March 7th, 2024. Then we got news of an Australian rating added for the game hinting at a localization, and today we’re finally getting confirmation that the game will be released in English!

For now, it’s scheduled for July 12th 2024, but only in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Southeast Asia. We have to wait for a official announcement for the rest of the world, but we could take this as an indication that the game is coming soon for everyone.

Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku features a vast number of songs from popular creators including a main theme song by cosMo@bousouP. Other additions include Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin, and Megurine Luka, letting fans choose their partner for singing, dancing and training.

In an exclusive interview with The Direct, Legend of Zelda movie Director Wes Ball has spoken on how important the franchise is to him and what fans can expect from the project.

In this interview, Ball expressed his enthusiasm for the highly anticipated film adaptation. As a self-proclaimed fan of the franchise, he assured fans that the movie is in the works and stated his commitment to making it a great experience due to how important the Zelda series is not only to the fanbase but to himself as well, claiming he has been playing the games since his childhood.

While unable to reveal a release date, he jokingly hinted at a timeframe within the next decade.

Disney Dreamlight Valley introduced Update 10 this week, bringing new content including the beloved Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. However, along with fixes and additions, a bug has been introduced related to Oswald.

This issue revolves around the 3D Glasses item, crucial for completing the quest “Oswald’s Many Dimensions.” If players purchase the glasses from Scrooge’s Store before initiating the quest, they won’t be able to complete it. The game’s official Twitter account acknowledged the problem and assured players that it’s being addressed urgently.

To avoid this glitch, players should refrain from purchasing the glasses until they reach the relevant quest step and order them through the Clothing Catalogue option. The game developers are actively working on a solution and thank everyone for their patience.

Another Crab’s Treasure came out a week ago and since then, Aggro Crab Games has released a number of updates and patches for the game.

While the game has received overall praise, it’s also been criticized over many bugs encountered by players. Aggro Crab has been hard at work by patching these bugs, but since they are a small team, they’ve had trouble keeping up with them. This is why while working on patching certain errors, sometimes they’ve inadvertently created more of them.

Working on the game post-launch has been a difficult task for the small team at Aggro Crab, so they have decided on slowing down on patches for the sake of the game, the players, and themselves. They promise that they will not stop working on the game, but they’ll be releasing updates more periodically, rather than daily.

If you’d like to read the full statements, you can read the entire Twitter thread linked below.
