Last week zipped by without a mention of some hidden gems. Among them, Namco released "Family Tennis" in its arcade Vs form, tucked away in the Archives, and Ys II made another appearance on the EggConsole. There was also an unexpected treat: the roguelike dungeon crawler Overdungeon, courtesy of Pocketpair. Yes, that same Pocketpair, known mostly for games perpetually in Early Access—except for this one, of course.
Moving on to 2025, the year has kicked off with a bang for remastered RPGs. We recently saw the return of Ys Oath in Felghana/Freedom Wars Remastered, and now Tales of Graces F is making waves—originally a classic from the Wii era. Additionally, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is slated as Nintendo’s not-so-surprising re-release for the quarter. Not to be overlooked, Playism brings us Blade Chimera, an Indie World alum, as our smaller game highlight this week.
Besides a new Kairosoft title and an obscure EggConsole release that’s not particularly English-friendly, that sums it up.
