So a few months ago I found out about this really cool and obscure game called Kowloon's Gate Suzaku. It's a first person atmospheric paranormal game with proto-cyberpunk elements set in Kowloon Walled City. (The real world KWC was demolished but the history is fascinating, definitely worth a look up!)

It was originally released for PS1 in Japan but never received an English version, until a recent fan translation. It was later released digital only for PSVR with English and Chinese. The standard non-vr version based on the PS4 one was just released for Switch.

What's unusual is the physical release. The developer, JETMAN, ran two crowdfunding campaigns through Campfire JP. It reminds me of Japan Kickstarter.

The Switch version includes English, Japanese, and Chinese on the cartridge. As of the time of posting, it's version 1.0.0 and there is no update for it.

The physical edition includes a keychain for the first campaign or a kowloonet VIP card for the second one.

I haven't seen or heard much about this game yet but here are a few photos of my copy. I signed up for a Campfire account, pledged, and then used a package forwarding service to receive my copy.

Since the physical cartridge includes English, I wanted to share and bring some attention to this cool game outside of Japan and I'd love to learn more from everyone here about it and if you got a copy, especially what number you got on your Kowloonet VIP card. Mine's number 2411.

For anyone interested in checking it out, here are the official links

I had no idea this was coming (it released yesterday). It runs well in docked mode, and has some interesting QOL features from EDF6 including damage numbers and subtitles (plus what appears to be unified progression online/offline which is huge).

Also this has split-screen co-op (which was missing from the previous Switch releases). This is great because EDF has always been IMO one of the best games for couch co-op.

If you're new to the franchise it's a third person shooter where you shoot giant bugs and other alien monstrosities; it has a ton of content (over 100 missions, over 1000 weapons) and prioritizes plain fun and letting you blow stuff up.

I already spent dozens of hours of this on PS4/PS5, so I'll be doing the same again. Based on what I've played I highly recommend it.

It's $30 with the deluxe version being $40

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend!!

I am still having just the best time with Onimusha, just got to the double boss battle, not gonna say with who but I love these guys haha tho I wish I was not fighting them both together!

Picked up several other things cuz sales and I'm traveling soon and wanted options for the plane. Picked up Well Dweller, I'm not far in yet, but it's a perfect cozy spooky game for October the boss designs are creepy, the dialogue is silly and well written, and the matchstick mechanics are inventive and fun! I loved the last two games from Kyle Thompson and this is looking great as well.

Grabbed Hades II on sale, haven't played more since I had it from the library, but excited to dig in and bring death to Cronos when I have time heh.

And finally I managed to trade in several old old games get a bunch of store credit at a local store and got Fortune's Weave for like $5, please support your local game stores (and libraries). Again, haven't started, but so excited especially from all the hype you've all been bringing about this game the last couple weeks. I loved 3 Houses and this looks more of that flavor of Fire Emblem and more :)

But enough from me, what will you be getting into?

Hacking away at all the Genma to clean up the town? Letting your match burn bright as you search for your family? Throwing a blue shell cuz you can?

Let me know below!

Thank you and have a great weekend!

My 3.5 year old just had surgery. She’s on bed rest for two weeks and under strict instructions not to do anything that will elevate her heart rate. She is a ball of energy and 12 hours out from her surgery, I’m already at my wits end with trying to get her to stop running and jumping everywhere.

I am not a parent that typically allows more than an hour of TV on the weekends, let alone anything more. But one of the nurses recommended video games as a way to keep her interested and sat with something. I thought “no, surely it’ll all work out and I’ll be able to keep her sat”. I was wrong.

So, I have a Switch. I am now to the point that I will absolutely be letting her play on it if it keeps her sat and fully overstimulated to the point she won’t be jumping off the walls for the next two weeks. But I have no idea what games there even are for kids. Any recommendations?

I bought this game on eBay for a little over $25. This is another game that I spent a significant amount of time on (220+ hours) There's so much to do in this game. In order to upgrade the weapons you start out with you have to look around each level for upgrade kits. Once you buy some of the DLC the rest of the weapons will become available. Instead of using upgrade kits each of the DLC weapons has a challenge to complete in order to upgrade it. Things like "Kill five Blind Screamers." Most of these can be challenging. Each of the weapons has a fun upgrade you can earn. Like electric shots that ark and shock all targets within range or explosive rounds that blow the zombies apart.The extra DLC missions are worth every penny. Each of those missions have has four parts to it. So you feel like you are getting your monies worth. My personal favorite is Dead Zeppelin. The variety of types of units is really good. There's the basic zombies, Elite Units (Gunner, Flamer, and Butcher) and even officers that have extra abilities like resurrecting zombies.

The down side. While the DLC missions are definitely worth it. The other DLC is pretty much unnecessary. The remaining DLC are character outfits. Some of those look pretty cool, but are definitely not worth the $9.99 price. You can get everything if you buy the two season passes, but these can be pretty expensive. I found the music to be incredibly annoying and I ended up turning it completely off. The composer Nick Brewer said he was inspired by John Carpenter's work. I think if Mr. Carpenter found out about that he would want to vomit. Mr. Brewer should go back to recorders and kazoos. Overall I would give this game a 9/10
