GSK | ALL CITY SLOP SHOPJALECOlle watch: Saiyuuki World II & Whomp Em, out August 7 🇯🇵
for those not keeping track: the original, JP-only Saiyuuki World (reissued via JALECOlle a little while back) was essentially a reskin of Wonder Boy in Monster Land with a Journey to the West motif, but this all-original sequel, which is a more straightforward post-Rockman action-platformer, was released in NA with a light Native American reskin as Whomp Em, and this set'll let you play Saiyuuki World II with EN subs and vice-versa
EGG CONSOLE WATCH: Manhattan Requiem (PC88), the second entry in Riverhillsoft's J.B.Harold series of detective ADV games , out next week https://store-jp.nintendo.com/item/software/D70010000096252 🇯🇵 some of the earlier games were remade for mobile & Switch some years back—most of em were JP-only but iirc this one was given an EN translation

some left-field Sega JP marketing for the upcoming Shinobi game: they hired the 100wani guy to make a daily Shinobi-adjacent 4koma
Kohachi Studio, current home of several ex-Irem/Nazca/SNK staff & developers of the upcoming Black Finger Jet, is resurrecting "Yokai Buster Navinosuke", an unannounced RPG from the early '00s led by legendary pixel artist AKIO (R-Type, Metal Slug, etc)—they've acquired the project from its former owner, and it's being finished for Switch, ETA early '26 https://www.kohachistudio.com/yokai/ 🇯🇵
Gradius V was recently pulled from PS Classics, so Gamespark hit up Konami to find out why https://www.gamespark.jp/article/2025/06/10/153805.html 🇯🇵 in short, some of the licensed software has expired (they don't say what, but my guess is the middleware game engine Intrinsic Alchemy), so they aren't able to sell the game anymore, nor do they currently have plans to re-up or port it due to this particular issue
the only path forward is a remake, seems like...
Game Boy from Nintendo. Picking it up is the easy part.
