a couple dozen G-MODE Archives games are discounted on the Japanese eShop atm https://t.co/FW0yLBTUPg🇯🇵 no huge discounts or anything but if you need an excuse to jump in, here it is
I recommend these two, provided you can read em

for good measure, here's Yoshitoo Asari's key visual
icymi, game's out in Japan on April 21 for ¥4180, PS4 & Switch, physical & digital
art for the three new characters, illustrated by the OG SFC Kikikaikai illustrator Yoshitoo Asari (co-op's still limited to 2P, btw)
these were definitely new to me, so I had to go look em up—someone scanned one of the wrappers & some 4komas from the packaging https://t.co/tjbg0SisRu🇯🇵 https://t.co/GeIWV0jm4z
for anyone who just watched the Kemonomichi exhibition for Dodonpachi Daioujou and wants to try it for themselves: of the two home ports that exist, the best version is far and away the PS2 port, produced by Arika, which remains a gold standard for STG ports almost 20 years later
on "Gakuen(formerly "Feveron Gakuen"): the director's been working hard but he's had to put it on hold a few times to lead other projects like PC Engine Mini
Mononoke Ninpo-cho (Ninja Soldier) & the unnamed 8-bit game are tied to Gakuen, so they'll probably be revealed in tandem
@kidfenris I was prepared for something easier than OG Ecco, but not something that barely met the minimum requirements for being a game
sold it for a good amount years later so no complaints
JP twitter says a certain incarnation of Sasuga no Satorubi... and as far as I know they didn't explicitly reference any particular piece of art, so if that's the case, props for actually pulling off a decent mimicry
oh and let me remind you that the Japanese version of this game is titled ℕ𝕀𝕋ℝ𝕆ℙ𝕌ℕ𝕂𝕊 𝕄𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋ℍ𝔼𝔸𝔻𝕊
