Touhou Luna Nights collector's edition

June 25: Touhou Luna Nights did see a physical release in Asia previously, but SelectaPlay today announced a new version for fans in the west which includes a collector’s edition.

The title will receive a five-year anniversary standard and limited collector’s edition. Both versions include the game, printed color manual, and special sleeve. The collector’s edition of Touhou Luna Nights adds the original soundtrack double CD, three alternative inlays, a serialized certificate of authenticity, and a steelbook case all housed in an oversized box.

Blade Chimera release date

Blade Chimera is one step closer to its release date, as it’s been announced that the game launches this August.

You may remember the title when it was announced for Switch during an Indie World Showcase last November. Since it was originally planned for this spring, it looks like the game was hit with a delay.

Three years after its Switch launch, Touhou Luna Nights is now receiving a physical release on the platform. Playism will be shipping a boxed version in Japan.

Record of Lodoss War is one of the oldest still-running Japanese series a lot of people have probably never heard about. With media that includes not only video games but novels, manga, and anime, the franchise’s history dates back over three decades to 1986. While Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is the newest installment in the series, it’s also nostalgic in a lot of ways, from its beautiful 2D pixel art style to its story.
