Chances are nowadays that when you talk to someone about fighting games, one of the first titles to come to mind is Street Fighter. The series has spanned decades, with 2017 marking its 30th anniversary which is further celebrated with the updated release of one of the most seminal fighting games of all time, Street Fighter II. Before the imminent release of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on Switch, the game had already returned many times in the past. To some this may seem excessive, but for the most hardcore of Street Fighter fans, it’s a way to continually preserve the history of one of the most successful fighting game franchises of all time, as well as one of the most important titles in the series. However you look at it, Ultra Street Fighter II has a lot to love about it if you’re an avid Street Fighter fan, but may leave a lot to be desired to those looking to jump in for the first time or have casually spent time with the series over the last three decades.

Battle Sports Mekuru debuted in Japan this month. In the west, it sounds like we won’t have to wait terribly long for the game. Speaking with USgamer, designer Senri Tsunokawa mentioned that Battle Sports Mekuru should be available this summer overseas.

If you really can’t wait for Battle Sports Mekuru, you can actually get it now. The game can be downloaded from the Japanese eShop, and it’s mostly in English.

Duck Block Games has been looking to fund Forsaken Castle on Kickstarter. The team was seeking $10,000, but ended up with over three times that amount.

Forsaken Castle has not only been funded, but will be coming to Switch as well. A $35,000 stretch goal was reached just before the campaign ended today.

As for the game itself, Forsaken Castle is a 16-bit action exploration platformer inspired by Metroidvania titles. Players will follow a paladin and her fight against evil and “discover new abilities, fight deadly creatures, and explore a handcrafted world created in a retro pixel art style.”


More on Forsaken Castle can be found on the Kickstarter page here.
