#16: Cyber Citizen Shockman Collection & Magical Drop VI
Limited Run Games shipped out another batch of pre-orders and here we have one retro collection and a new instalment to a retro franchise now brought over to the Nintendo Switch.
Cyber Citizen Shockman Collection is a collection of action platformers with three of them previously released on the PC Engine; 1989's Cyber Citizen Shockman from developer Winds, 1991's Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace from developer Winds, and 1992's Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World from developer Masaya Games which outside of the second game was only available in Japan. Also included in this collection is 1997's Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero which was released in Japan for the Satellaview & Super Famicom from developer Masaya Games.
Also arrived is Magical Drop VI from French developer Highball Games and Poland developer Storm Trident that was released in 2023 first for the Nintendo Switch and then other platforms a year later. This is another case of a Japanese IP being worked on by a western developer and from what I've seen they've put a lot of effort paying homage to the second & third games in this franchise. And I've always been interested in the retro puzzle games and since this is the newest from a classic IP I wanted to pick it up. Forever Entertainment published this game who also worked on a few remakes like House of the Dead and Panzer Dragoon.

#17: Junji Ito Uzumaki UNIQLO T-Shirt
After receiving the Gundam shirt from UNIQLO I had a look at what else was being offered because these are limited editions and can sell out pretty fast if you don't time it right. Looking around the store was also offering a Dark Fantasy Manga range which was dedicated to Berserk, Parasyte and Uzumaki and I went with the Junji Ito Uzumaki shirt which looks great.
#18: Sunset Warriors & Witch from Nepal
88 Films' June slate had a whole bunch of Asian Cinema titles being released and because they have the habit of being delayed for various circumstances, I didn't pre-order all of them at once, which is why the Jackie Chan titles came first. I heard that the rest did eventually hit their release dates on time I ordered the two other Hong Kong films that 88 Films were releasing.
First up we have Sunset Warriors (九死一生), the original 1984 cut for John Woo's 1986 film Heroes Shed No Tears (英雄無淚). 88 Films released the more known version of this film back in 2020 and five years later we have a new release with new artwork, more content and if you missed out on the original first print edition, this new limited edition release makes up for it as there's a second disc that covers the Heroes Shed No Tears version.
Next we have Witch from Nepal (奇緣), the 1986 Hong Kong film by Tony Ching Siu-Tung starring Chow Yun-fat. This is the director's second film after Duel to the Death which Eureka already released. This supernatural film looks like great fun and 88 Films went with a deluxe limited edition package which includes a booklet, box, slipcase and nice artwork throughout.

#19: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Before the pandemic, I played Death Stranding on the PlayStation 4 and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the game's mechanics and story. It's a very different game to the other modern titles and is an acquired taste, but Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions definitely had a vision that worked.
Now we're in 2025 and they have released the next game in the series with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for the PlayStation 5. I did think about playing through the first game's director's cut but I decided to jump straight into this one.

I managed to find the steelbook collectors edition of Project Itoh: Harmony for only £6 which was a steal. Sing Yesterday for Me and Rascal Dreams of Bunny Senpai are both from MVM.
I am currently playing We Love Katamari on PS plus but I always try to buy physical copies of games I really enjoy so I picked up the US version (no physical UK version
) Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes really interested me as I recently started playing the Suikoden remasters and I read it was headed by that series's creator that combined with the beautiful art style made me want to try it out. The Lunar Remastered set was recently on sale on Amazon and I had a voucher to use so I bought it even though it will likely be a while before I play them (I have a backlog of games almost as big as Mount Fuji 
)
Astria Ascending and Cyberpunk were upgrades from the PS4 versions.

I bought a new MSI All-in-One PC to replace my 11-year old MSI AIO, so I won't have to deal with Windows 11 incompatibility, and also to rectify a few issues I've been having with it recently. I think I got my money's worth out of the old one, it has a 24" screen, 8 GB memory, an i5 2nd Generation processor, and an internal Blu-ray drive. I had upgraded the 1TB 2.5" spinning HDD to a 2TB SSD a few years ago. My new AIO was on sale for $350 off, at a price of $999:
MSI All-in-One Computer PRO AP272P 14M-600US Intel Core i7-14700 32GB DDR5 1TB PCIe SSD 27" Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
With the $350 I saved, I also purchased a 4TB SSD to install in the empty, internal 2.5" drive bay, and an external LG USB Blu-ray drive which I plan to mount onto the back of the PC (Velcro, perhaps?) to watch my anime Blu-rays with, just like I did with my old MSI with the internal Blu-ray drive. The new MSI looks just like a standard 27" monitor, with a wireless Keyboard and mouse.

Loo roll (I always buy enough for the next couple of months in case calamity happens) and my first actual smartphone, I currently have a basic smol brick phone and an iPod Touch as my smart device (also an iPad Pro w Apple Pencil as a drawing tablet and backup messaging device but that's not as portable ofc). I haven't set this up yet cuz I need a nano sim so I'll be going to O2 someday soon to get a nano sim copy of my current sim card made, I didn't really want a smartphone but they are shutting down the 3G network soon, so here we are. Will be nice being able to use Whatsapp though! XP

I'm well impressed that you held off for so long, but also disappointed that circumstances seem to be forcing you to get on the bandwagon!

My collectors edition of Flow came today. I haven't seen it yet but I was sold on the trailer alone. It comes with some really cool little collectables, can't wait to watch it. Brian and Charles is my favourite movie I have seen so far this year. It is so charming, unique and heartwarming, I love everything about it. If you love quirky little indie films with a lot of heart I highly recommend it. Arcane, like most popular things, is something I got into late. I am so glad I decided to get it. I have only watched one episode I was blown away. The animation is absolutely gorgeous!

Last package of the month which arrived on Saturday.
#20: Ishiro Honda Double Feature & Mothra
Eureka Entertainment ran a sale on their website dedicated to Japanese films and they had two older releases that I had yet to pick up for the collection, both happen to be from Japanese director Ishiro Honda and are part of the Masters of Cinema range.
We have the Ishiro Honda Double Feature collection that includes the 1958 film The H-Man (美女と液体人間) and the 1959 film Battle in Outer Space (宇宙大戦争), both are science fiction stories that I hadn't heard of prior to Eureka's release, and this is the second print edition that doesn't include the slipcase but kept the booklet (which will go away in the next print run).
And there's also Mothra (モスラ), the 1961 Japanese film and debut of the iconic Kaiju monster. This is the standard edition version which loses the rigid slipcase but still comes included with a booklet (which will also go away in the next print run).

I recommend giving the audio commentaries a go. They're all pretty interesting.
I've always had a soft spot for Battle in Outer Space. The plot and characters are a bit basic compared to some other Toho SF movies of that era, but the movie does what it says on the tin with gusto. I can't think of another SF movie that did such dynamic space battles until Star Wars rewrote the rule book 17 years later.
