There’s no stopping Bandai Namco lately. Following on from Freedom Wars Remastered and Tales of Graces f Remastered, the prolific publisher is back with week with SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada – a resource gathering PvPvE extraction shooter set in 2222 – and the Switch version of the one-on-one brawler Guilty Gear Strive – which promises rollback netcode.
Going back to the subject of remasters, Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles comes to all formats with more content unlocked from the start, including a bunch of new characters and cheats. The original was renowned for its arcade-like sensibilities, being a straightforward scrolling action platformer. We’re hoping it uses the superior Dreamcast version as a source.

As for games somewhat newer there’s the dark fantasy side-scrolling adventure ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist, co-op third person dungeon crawler Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection – in which the dead can be summoned to fight alongside you – eastasiasoft’s retro style platformer Popotinho’s Adventures, the NBA Jam influenced RoboDunk, and the chilly racer Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders.
Also look out for Dance of Cards – which entails a poker tournament on a cruise ship – body cam horror Dreamcore, and the throwback shoot’em up Cycle Chaser H-5.
The Xbox also gains a couple of belated conversions in the form of Mika and The Witch’s Mountain – a colourful, cartoony, adventure inspired by Zelda: The Wind Waker – and the Korean sci-fi dungeon crawling hack ‘n slasher Disorder. Then rewinding to last week, both the PS4 and Xbox One saw the release of the management sim Doraemon Dorayaki Store Story. Sweet.
