Last week offered up a few surprises we somehow overlooked—a trio of Cosmic Fantasy RPGs got their localized release, an intriguing game called Ultros hit the scene without a single seafood soup reference, and Konami brought us the quirkily titled Kitten Kaboodle, which has nothing to do with that famous Canadian drag artist.
As many of you know, each new webpage on our site results in an ever-increasing URL count. This time around, page 70,000 made its debut during the preparation of this article. While we hoped this milestone page would host some thrilling news, it appropriately found its way to this week’s coverage.
In terms of game releases, it’s a relatively quiet week for standout titles. At the forefront is "Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog," better known as the "PC-8801 ass adventure game" often mentioned by James. Following it, Piczle Cross: Rune Factory cleverly mixes Picross with farm RPG elements. And if you can believe it, Kairosoft managed to secure a spot with their latest, Pro Wrestling Story. Meanwhile, those considering the RPG Burai: Jokan should take note—unless you’re fluent in Japanese, this might not be the game for you.
