[Update: David Lowey has provided some clarification on Atari’s reasoning behind acquiring these properties: “We do think Awesomenauts and Swords & Soldiers are both strong games, and they were on Wade’s radar. When we found out that they were available it made the decision to acquire them easier. Both games show off Ronimo’s sense of humor, their ability to create compelling characters and stories, and their game design. They were received very positively when they were released, and they continue to support an active player base and community of fans....

… in Australia. The OLFC ratings board, which rates videogames for the former penal colony, has recentlyratedthe classicCastlevaniatitle for that country. The original game has never been released in North America, except as an unlockable inCastlevania: The Dracula X Chroniclesfor the PSP. So, I hope all you Aussies appreciate it. Konami seems to have all but abandoned the Virtual Console in the United States and I wouldn’t expect that to change, even for what’s one of the very best games the series ever produced....
Chocolate and pink hair — my favorite things! Square Enix sent a little holiday gift to my office this week. They’re trying to make me fat, it seems. In Japan, there’s a strong tie between game marketing and snack food, so you often see game-themed snack food on convenience store shelves around a large title’s launch. That’s exactly the case forLightning Returns: Final Fantasy, so Square Enix sent me a few of the products on shelves now....
The Setsuna and Lost Sphear studio Although I’m not crazy aboutLost Sphear, it’s a shame thatI am Setsunawas kind of lost in the fold when it was released in 2016. It had its issues but it was a hell of a debut for Tokyo RPG Factory. That feels like forever ago though as they’re now on their third game:Oninaki,which was only just revealedas part of a Nintendo Direct presentation last week....
It’s a cute time-waster and it’s totally free When I use the term “time-waster,” I do so affectionately —Deepest Swordis exactly what it needs to be. It’s a free indie game (playable onSteam,Itch.io, andNewgrounds) where you’re a little adventurer with an even littler sword who needs to stab a dragon’s heart. All you have to do is stroll over to the dragon and plunge it in… but it’s too short to reach!...

This year should bring us what we really wanted last year: games for our next-gen consoles. Sony and Microsoft have had time to work up some new things for us since their respective console launches, and Nintendo is running at full steam for its systems. Some of big third-party publishers have had enough time to finally show off what they’ve been working on....
If you’ve been thinking about buyingFLOCK!, today would be the perfect day to put down the coin. For the remainder of the weekend Capcom’s quirky sheep herding simulation is 50 percent off Steam. If that’s not enough of a deal for you, check this: Steam Achievements and a juicy patch have recently been added. Groovy. Our review ofFLOCK!is still coming, but since I’m sitting right next to Conrad I believe I’ll go ahead and ask him what he thinks of the game....
