Three new SNES games up on the Switch app today- Bubsy in "Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind", Fatal Fury Special and, for the first time outside of Japan, Mario & Wario (requires a USB mouse on Switch 1).

@Nezumi_Youjo The remake got translated! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3380520/ToHeart/

Sorry I didn't have any Steam sale recommendations, but just before it ends, this ASTRO PORT bundle should be worth a look for shmup and mech fans. Big fan of Gigantic Army myself!

This week's Arcade Archives release is Gee Bee, Namco's very first in-house arcade game all the way from 1978. A fusion of Breakout and pinball designed by Toru Iwatani, break those bricks! This release is also compatible with USB mouse controls

The arcade flyer here comes from The Arcade Flyer Archive, of course

Hamster, if you're selling them, I will buy that Dacholer shirt on that flyer, no question.

This week's Arcade Archives release is DACHOLER. You can, at last, have an adventure with an ostrich as you kick turtles around to get rid of the other animals. Arcade games are wonderful! This also comes with the later revision Kick Boy with no ostrich

Oh no, I spelled the game's name wrong, it should be QQQbeats!!! with three exclamation points, that's vital! Forgive me :3

Taito's new puzzle / rhythm game hybrid, QQQBeats!, is out now on Switch! If you've played Touhou Spell Bubble, the concept is the same, just with non-Touhou music too- match bubbles and tap to the beat to win the match!

If you'd like to read more about both Numan Athletics and Mach Breakers, I wrote about both games a good while ago. Highly recommended, and both are available on Arcade Archives now!

This week's Arcade Archives release is a big one- Namco's Mach Breakers, the 1995 sequel to Numan Athletics. Mash the buttons and test your timing and reflexes as you compete in wild and over-the-top events as superhuman athletes!
