From developer Preapp and Idea Factory International, the terribly titledNeptunia Shooterwill see Nep-Nep herself dive into the outer reaches of space and time, battling through six 8-bit inspired stages and facing off against other goddesses in classic horizontally-scrolling shmup action....

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 spotted on Korean ratings board

Yes yes yes I will spread the good word ofPac-Man Championship Editionand its ilkfor as long as I can type (these fingers aren’t arthritic yet!).
