May is the off-season for game masterpieces, and this time there is not even a Nintendo first-party game, it is all third-party.
Despite this, there are still the following 8 games worth paying attention to, and many of them have the potential of "divine works". Let's take a look!
1. Yeti Brothers Special Edition
May 19 Exclusive Cassette
"Snowman Brothers" is a very classic arcade game, which was later ported to the FC red and white machine and swept the country, and "Mario", "Blood", "Kung Fu" and other games are the childhood memories of many players.
This game inherits the cute design and operability of the original arcade version and has been upgraded to a certain extent, in addition, adding 30 levels to the original 50 levels, adding new bosses and new monsters.
In addition, the game will also contain a "monster challenge mode", in which the player can choose the monster as the protagonist to break through the level, each monster has a different skill, you can experience a completely different and interesting gameplay from the normal level.
However, the model is available as a DLC, and the digital version needs to be purchased separately. Physical cards, on the other hand, will be included in the cartridge and will not need to be purchased separately.
2. Crayon Novel my summer vacation with Dr
May 4 Exclusive Cassette with cassette
Developed by Kazukazu Ayabe, the producer of my summer vacation series, the game tells the story of a 7-day trip by the Koshin family in a small town in Kyushu.
In the game we can spend a great summer vacation doing exercises, eating, bathing, catching insects, fishing, and it is very childhood-flavored. At the same time, life in the game is also different because of a strange doctor, and Xiaoxin will embark on an incredible adventure.
Due to various reasons such as publishers, the previous Japanese version will not be updated Chinese, Chinese need to be purchased separately.
But the game not only supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese Chinese subtitles, but also mandarin and Cantonese dubbing, using the same voice actors as the cartoons! This level of localization is a matter of conscience, and regardless of the game itself, the degree of care alone is commendable!
However, due to many reasons such as development costs, this game is not enriched in terms of internal capacity. Although it has a very good painting style and can bring a lot of emotions, it will still be tired after playing for a long time.
Therefore, before purchasing this work, you need to be mentally prepared, do not treat it as a full meal, it is more like a delicate dessert, the aftertaste is endless, but eating too much will be greasy.
3. A hundred years of spring
May 12 Multi-platform With cassettes available
This game is a live-action new Benguet reasoning game, which is not so much a game as an interactive movie. Of course, it is precisely because of the real picture that the picture of this work is naturally "the strongest picture quality of NS"
Featuring a number of well-known actors, the game tells the story of multiple murders that occurred between 1922 and 2022, unlocking a thrilling case spanning a century.
Although a lot of the plot of this game is a live-action film, this does not mean that it is "no gameplay". The game requires the player to keep thinking at all times, and gradually deduce the truth of the case according to the plot, clue details, maps and many other aspects.
Due to cost, technology and other reasons, such live-action games often do not have a long process, and the quality of the script is difficult to reach the level of first-line masterpieces. From the perspective of the amount of content currently disclosed, this "Spring Death Centennial Copy" is already a super large volume in similar games.
And this game is directed by Koichiro Ito, who was the director of "428: Blocked Shibuya", "428" is also a live-action deduction game, and at that time received full praise from Famitsu, and the reputation among players was also very good, and it was regarded as a god by many players who loved reasoning games. (If you are bored during the May Day holiday, you can go and play 428, which is really exciting)
I believe that this time's "Spring Lost Hundred Years Copy" will not disappoint us in the quality of the script.
4. Legend of the Hundred Heroes: Rise
May 11 Multi-platform No cassette
The Legend of 100 Heroes is the spiritual sequel to the classic RPG game Fantasy Water Margin, created by the original team and scheduled to be released in 2023.
And this "100 Heroes: Rise" is a prequel game that uses the same world view as Masaku and tells the backstory of the most important characters in the original.
The game is very similar to "Misguided Traveler" in terms of visual atmosphere, as if it is an "HD version of HD-2D" game. Thanks to this kind of screen rendering, many scenes in this game are very delicate, and the special effects during combat are also quite gorgeous.
This game confirms that it will support Chinese, but at present, only Hong Kong service supports Chinese, and the Japanese version of the US version has no Chinese, and it must be confirmed before purchasing!
In addition, in addition to NS, this game will also land on multiple platforms such as PS, PC and XBOX. Among them, the XBOX version will be the first to join XGP. If you have an XBOX on hand and have an XGP membership, you can play it for free on the day of release!
5. Taikoku Aspire V DX
May 19 NS+PC with cartridges
This game is a classic strategy game set in Japan's Sengoku period with the aim of "becoming the world's first". In addition to NS, this game will also land on the Steam platform, but on the game console it is still exclusive to NS.
In addition to improving the picture quality, the remake also added 100 new warriors, scripts, plots, endings and other elements. In addition to being able to dominate the world as a warrior, the game also provides ninjas, merchants, pirates, tea people, etc., and can be successful through a series of tactics, and the playability is very high.
It can be said that it is a work that can play to the sea of dry stones, and the friends who like this setting and gameplay must not miss it!
6. That is changed by multiple trajectories
May 26 Multi-platform With cassettes
This game is an ARPG game from Falcom, although the name is called "Trajectory", but it is actually unrelated to the Trajectory series such as "Air Orbit" and "Flash Track", and it is a work under a completely different worldview.
In fact, this game was originally a sequel to another series, "Double Star Story", but for reasons of popularity, market feedback and other reasons, this game was classified into the trajectory series.
Because of this, for players who have not played the Locus series, this game has almost no burden brought by other works in terms of setting, plot, etc., and can easily enjoy this work. But if you're headed for the Locus series, it's not recommended that you get into the pit from this title, as it's very different from other Tracing games.
7. Dragon Ball Alien 2 Chinese Edition
May 12 Multi-platform With cassettes available
The game landed on NS as early as 2017, but it has not supported Chinese at that time.
After nearly five years, the game has finally launched a Chinese version on NS, and players who have previously purchased English and Japanese versions will be able to play Chinese in the form of free updates.
Since this game has been on sale for many years, the eShop digital version often "breaks the bone", so if you are a player who has not yet purchased this game, it is recommended to wait until the discount is discounted.
Although there are not many big games in May, but wait for June can be lively, not only a number of big games on sale, according to the convention Nintendo will also release a new issue of the face-to-face meeting, and detail the lineup of the second half of the year, let's look forward to it together!
May Day holiday out to play please be sure to pay attention to safety, home games should also be moderate rest, I wish you a pleasant play ~
