We played 375 hours of Dragon Quest Builders 2 over the past six years
A grown ass adult cannot clock these types of numbers (granted there's a lot of pandemic time in there)

cover art by Greg Melo: Bucky O'Hare and Batman play an NES as a shark (from Jaws, surely) pops out of the television. Also note a Rambo poster on the wall, a Ghostbusters proton pack on the table, and a small box that says "Willow"

now seems like a fantastic time to mention that while all of the dmca shit was going down, someone put out a fully playable english translation of cookie's bustle! even runs on modern windows (as long as you install quicktime v6.5.2, which is not what the game comes with)! cookies-bustle.net

This week's game is Radirgy de Gojaru!, the bite-sized Japan-only 3DS entry that's based on a mode from the Xbox 360-exclusive Radirgy Noa Massive. Such an odd approach didn't earn it any favors at the time, but I found some fun in visiting it now and laying out all the details:
Iβd totally missed this until someone messaged me about it, but NCS Corpβs Mega Drive strategy game Vixen 357 is getting an English-language Western release!

70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X remaster announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, andΒ PC
