What happens when you combine a running game with a visual novel? You get Nirvana Pilot Yume - a self-described cure for your “80s sci-fi anime nostalgia.” But no self-respecting doctor would want to prescribe this.

Yuri? In today’s economy? It is more likely than you think.

In preparation for the upcoming release of Densha de Go PLUG & PLAY, I’ve decided to revisit Densha de Go! Pocket: Yamanote-Sen-Hen for the PlayStation Portable.

Here are some quick reviews that for whatever reason, did not warrant a full-blown blurb. Will we do this format in the future? Who knows, but if it is anything like our podcast, expect the next one in 2041.

Starting with Mask of the Betrayer and then moving onto Utwarerumono ZAN, I’ve somehow ended up experiencing the story backwards through the process of reviewing it. So it’s a bit strange to be “finishing” the story by playing the first entry in the series. To be fair, this might also be a lot of people’s first experience with the original Utawarerumono, having only previously been available through a fan translation of the 2002 game, and an anime adaptation. Knowing that, Prelude to the Fallen sets out to remake the original PC game, bringing it in line with the aesthetics and presentation of the recent games. It mostly succeeds in that goal, but its close adherence to the source material sometimes draws attention to the underlying disparity between the two styles.

A long time ago, I used to play a lot of Facebook based sports games. Most of them were just management based games where you had to wait a certain period of time to get the tokens to get players or train. Essentially, Football Manager and Out of the Park Baseball clones, but with microtransactions. But there was one game, that was so extremely different that I think about it a lot.

With PlayStation handhelds a thing of the past, certain genres need to find themselves a new home. One of those being the rhythm game genre. The Nintendo Switch has done a good job providing a roof over there heads. With a library containing games such as Cytus α, Groove Coaster, MUSYNX, Taiko no Tatsujin, and SUPEBEAT XONiC, the Switch has shown that it is a credible place to play rhythm games. However, there’s something missing. That something, or someone I should say, is Hatsune Miku.

I don’t even know here to begin with this game if I’m quite honest with you. On paper, Music Racer should of have been a home run. Music and racing games go hand in hand - just take a look at the Ridge Racer series. But Music Racer isn’t a home run, and it doesn’t even deserve to be called a strikeout.
