Ninja Kids is a fun beat em up. Played it on Taito legends years ago.

Super excited for TheSpectrum. Glad they went straight to a fullsize and skipped the mini format. Waiting on Thalamus Collection for Evercade right now.

Really hadn't expected Aero the Acrobat of all series to make a sudden comeback. I haven't played them yet because I'm busying myself with the Rocket Knight Collection, but I will get around to them... one day. Not sure if I'll skip the GBA title or not, what with that just being a remake of the original game.

UGH NOT DIGITAL ECLIPSE AGAIN

playing tetris with 3 seconds input lag what we all have been dreaming about

[tsartomato]

interesting did they rebalance xanadu or just dumped it unfinishable as is?

Hot take I know but... Puyo > Tetris
