Press my buttons, Travis Yesterday was full of surprises for hack-and-slash fans who own a Switch. Not only did Nintendo releasea two-hour demo ofHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamitybut then Xseed simultaneously shadow-droppedNo More Heroes 1 & 2on the system at the same time!

I hope this game is fun because I need something new to play on PS5 that won’t break the bank I’d be lying if I said I’ve been using my PS5 a ton lately. I’m firmly in a “post-launch funk” after playing most of the games I wanted to check out while I wait for price drops for the question marks. I like this console, especially now that it’s in a more stable place, but I’m ready for that next new thing....

Case in point: Jaleco classicP-47 Thunderbolt, the latest addition to Hamster’s Arcade Archives range. Initially released back in 1988, (asP-47: The Freedom Fighter), P-47 Thunderboltis one of a number of shump titles that use World War II as the setting for some fast-paced anachronistic action....
