Great, let me know what you think.

YES. Our game (Schildmaid MX) is part of this bundle as well!

Thankfully, you can see a fair bit of the game on 1 credit if you set all the stages to level 1 difficulty.

Yes, much better 3D character models, UI and most of all much more colourful. Mechanically, 14 was always super solid.

I haven't bought a fighting game in its release period in a long time, but I'm a little bit excited about KoF XV. I'll put it at #1 on my birthday wishlist!

I need to get back to this one. I abandoned my playthrough (also on normal) when I reached the Mad Midget 5 (!), due to the usual distractions.

Thanks for the writeup Marlew! Definitely interested in this one.

Thinking of your back with that 16:9 Philips...hopefully you can deadlift 120 lbs. Seems like a good call to get the benefits of CRT with widescreen. I've really fallen for my CRT. I've paused my Twilight Princess run as I picked up Banjo Kazooie and I am playing through it for the first time and j...

Mostly working, unfortunately. Need to get this massive Video Wizards podcast edit out of the way, so I can start playing games for this new Cane and Rinse volume!

Played a bit of one called Lords of Thunder today, really cool sidescrolling shooter where you play as an elemental mecha type thing. Music and graphics are excellent, it's very vibrant and has a mad kind of metal soundtrack. The gameplay is solid too. Fun game! That's a coincidence! I was playing ...

Orphan dad Kiryu is maybe my favorite Kiryu. I played 3 over the summer and really enjoyed it, although it was kind of funny going from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3. Graphics and physics downgrade, but I didn't mind at all because I was into the story. Funny, for me the glass is half full, as I come off Ya...

You done did it!

No, that was excellent!

- I gave up on Ghost of Tsushima after a few hours (keep meaning to go back) but in terms of setting and atmosphere this is much more what I wanted from that game, in part because this game doesn't default to the "everyone talks about honour all the time" trope that a lot of Western compa...

And it’s possibly only from lack of time spent playing it so far that I’m not saying similar about Schildmaid MX from our friend Michiel Kroder! I’m still getting to grips with its Jaeger mode for bullet-hell babies, but as well as a wonderfully catchy soundtrack against some often-breathtaking 2D ...

Thanks guys!

The console release will come, we're just tied up in legal paperwork before we can even get our hands devkit, so I'm pretty sure it won't be this year anymore.

You forgot yet another game you're on the credits for, Dez!

Schildmaid MX [PC] - November 4 (via itch.io)

Wow.

Progear is beautiful, but it has some really odd bullet patterns and angles. Very hard to deal with, undoubtedly until I have much more time.

It's by City Connection though, who have a terrible record with laggy Switch releases. I'd hold off on preordering any physical editions.

This has been such a ride. Amazing work.
