Rob’s Pick: If you’ve got a soft spot for classic RPGs but crave a modern look, DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is worth your time. This reimagining preserves the charm and storytelling of the original, while adding a HD-2D art style, orchestral arrangements, and some updates to mechanics and the storyline. Given how important Dragon Quest is to JRPG history, you know I’ll be revisiting the 1993 release and taking notes.

Speaking of the old days, I’ve always appreciated over-the-shoulder perspective shooters, from Cabal, Wild Guns, to NAM-1975. This week, Silver Bullet updates the formula, sending Van Helsing across a dozen different, bullet filled stages. There’s even an unlockable mini-game, which seems like a deal for seven dollars. Lastly, Academy Love Saga: Tennis Angels blends a harem visual novel with on-court matches. Love, all!

Ryan’s pick: Extraction shooters are exclusively played with my brother and I and I’ve been following Arc Raiders for quite a bit, so I’ll be giving this one a go this week. Visually everything looks really impressive, the environments and explosions equally are really well done. There is a certain level of anxiety that this genre brings, but the risk versus reward portion of these games is really what makes them engaging and exciting. “I’m dead, good luck,” is my brother’s fade-to-black catchphrase so I’m looking forward to hearing that over and over again as we get used to the game.

The Mortal Kombat series is one of my absolute favorites for fighters, as there is just so much nostalgia for these games for me as seeing fatalities in the arcades for the first time in the 90s was something I’ll never forget. The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has pretty much all of my absolute favorites in the series, so this one is an easy buy for me for Switch 2. I can’t even begin to think of how much time I spent on MK3 when it came out on PS1, or how many quarters went into MKII only to have the difficulty spike on the second match and then having to just pay again to try another fatality after the first fight, so this is an easy purchase for me.

Matt S’ pick (editor, DigitallyDownloaded): What a week for retro gaming. First up there is the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. These are exceptional remakes that even veterans of both titles should consider, because Square Enix has done so much to refresh and revitalise them. New narrative arcs, new dungeons, new monsters and all. None of the new stuff detracts or undermines what made those originals so special to the JRPG genre, and it’s clear that the development team took incredible care to really make these celebrate the formative titles of an entire genre.

And then there’s the Mortal Kombat museum. Like so much of Digital Eclipse’s recent work, it’s almost worth buying just for the timeline and documentary material that is layered into the package. I learned a whole bunch about the series just by working through that side of things. Ed Boon was involved with one of my favourite pinball tables of all time! On the game side, there’s a good collection of titles, from the absolutely horrendous and yet historically curious Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat, the terrible single player “platformer” thing starring Sub Zero, right through to the quality first 3D titles in the series and the GBA Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Long story short, that game got me through a pretty depressing chapter of my life, so being able to revisit it here has been the dictionary definition of nostalgic.

And then finally, Football Manager. It wouldn’t be an Australian summer if I didn’t get the chance to take my favourite J-League team, the real-world formidable Kawasaki Frontale, and gently guide them towards commercial failure and relegation. It’s my unique quality as a manager. I love FM, despite being so very terrible at it, and I don’t expect this year’s edition will change that.
