Posted on 5 years ago by Elias in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Campfire campaign that launched in Japan late last month has met its 15 million yen funding goal, meaning the next game in the Spirit Hunter series will be making its way to both PS4 and Switch. While developer Experience previously said that they’d go ahead with development regardless of whether the target was met, a few stretch goals still remain with 17 days of funding left to go. The goals are as follows:
20 million yen
- Additional costume for the protagonist (from the voice drama Death Mark: Blue Demise)
- Voice-overs increased by 50 percent
- Additional horror scene visuals (event CG)
25 million yen
- Theme song production
- Implementation of a death scene expression change system
- Addition of former marked characters that do not appear (Towako Yasuoka, Suzu Morimiya, Tsukasa Yoshida, etc.)
30 million yen
- Additional downloadable content production (series collaboration story)
- Spirit Hunter series event (concert? collaboration cafe? etc.)
- Novelization
Shibito Magire is aiming for a Summer 2021 release in Japan.

Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand has an original mechanic that goes beyond the actual gameplay. Through a light sensor included with the cartridge, players are able to charge up solar weapons by going outside.

Here’s a recent translation from Shmuplations that was published in a 2003 issue of Nintendo Dream:

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop, Videos | 0 comments
Marchen Forest: Mylne and the Forest Gift Complete Edition has been delayed, and will now release in 2020. A more specific release window was not provided.
On Twitter, developer Primary Orbit explained that the game was pushed back “based on the idea that there is room for further quality improvements”. It further said that the project “is not a simple port, we’re working hard to deliver a significantly evolved game.” Due to voice actor Yuzu Hinase being on a work hiatus, Mylne and Rozalina will be played by new talent.
