Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
The freeze on new year’s releases is finally starting to thaw, with 2017 already bringing several notable titles. Alchemy aficionados will probably appreciate Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea materializing on the Vita, complete with a number of minor tweaks to elements like event progression. Others might be interested in Marvelous’ take on musou, with Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star bringing its visual novel-inspired mythos onto Sony systems. Even retro fans have something to look forward to, with the well-received F-Zero X making its way onto Nintendo’s Virtual Console.

Robert’s Pick: As an Atelier enthusiast since the Mana series, my appreciation for Gust’s franchise has grown like a crop of Forrest Cabbage, culminating in a passionate hunger for each new title. This week’s release of Alchemists of the Dusk Sea endows Atelier Shallie with the characteristic Plus revision, mending a few components like frame rates, while incorporating new narrative elements. If you ask me, a Vita is deficient without at least one Atelier game on its memory card.
It’s busty waifu week at Tech-Gaming
That’s pretty much every week.
Rejoice!
I wouldn’t have it any other way. You guys need to have a gallery of the best waifus on the planet.
No prices for Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star!
What’s going on?
(Probably $60 and $40)…
No price for Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea either.
Sorry! All fixed up now!
Just don’t let it happen again. 😉
F-Zero X for me, but not via Virtual Console.
I still have the cart.
Are you sure Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star is getting a physical release? Gamestop is saying they can’t find it in their database.
