We're into the new financial year now. Despite the death of E3, late spring is still a common time for game announcements. So what do you think we'll hear about this year? Likely Resident Evil IX - Village was originally planned as a spin-off, so I would expect the next mainline entry to be...

The main thing I remember about New Nightmare was its party trick of having a flashlight that could light up the 2D backgrounds. Aside from that it was just an okay game. I still have it on Dreamcast, which looked a lot better than this version, as you would expect. It's weird that they've gone...

As @Lucky_Deity mentioned, Crystal is a more literal adaptation of the manga, but Sailor Moon is a case where that doesn't necessarily make it better. The comedy added to the original anime of Sailor Moon is a huge part of its appeal.

You may as well import the Australian set. It's zone B, so it will work on a UK player.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story This is the latest in Digital Eclipse's line of 'interactive documentaries'. How you approach it will heavily guide what you get out of it. Billed as having over 40 games, if you're hoping for a good-value anthology of games to play, you'll probably be...

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth I finished it yesterday with almost 124 hours on the clock. I often start to lose interest in long games around the 50-hour mark, so it's testament to how good this was that it held my interest throughout. I'll be surprised if anything due out this year tops it as a...

It's tough to keep track of what is still in print, so apologies if some of these are hard to find. Arcadia of My Youth (the original Captain Harlock TV series is a classic too, but that's 70s) Bubblegum Crisis (don't bother with Crash or 2040) City Hunter (the movies are pretty good, but the...

One of my favourite yuri manga. The first three volumes could make for a very good romance story, since they're a pretty self-contained arc. It starts to veer more into high school band drama with a larger cast after that, which is still good, but takes a lot of focus away from the central...

They're giving that trash a physical release? Seriously? I guess any isekrap will do when it comes to padding out the schedule with mass-market shonen junk.

@theirsbailiff I don't think EzyDVD ship internationally anymore.

Epic Games may have been hacked. They claim there's no evidence of a hack, but that means little. Standard Operating Procedure: change password, and keep an eye on your credit card transactions if you had that saved to your account (or ask your bank to put a fraud watch on it for a while)...

I'll be surprised if those Macross releases from Nozomi ever happen, either due to Crunchyroll buying out Right Stuf (who owned Nozomi) confusing the licensing situation on those unreleased titles, or because Crunchyroll don't seem to care much about catalogue titles.

Do you have two-factor authentication switched on for your Apple account? I recall iTunes having a hissy fit about various random things until I activated that (though of course it didn't tell me that was the problem).
