"I love Inticreates, I love Castlevania style games, but this almost feels like a blueprint for a game rather than the full experience. ...These game maje me remeber old games, with a classic style....Geam game"
See all customer reviewsSee all Physical Video GamesProduct Description
Embark on a gothic, 2D side-scrolling, action adventure, alternating between two demon hunter sisters set on returning their school, which has turned into a demonic castle, back to normal. Choose wisely the right sister for the right enemy, switching between long-range and short-range attacks, utilizing their unique skillsets to proceed upwards through the castle, defeating each demonic boss waiting at the end, to make it to the top. Each boss yields new weapons, allowing for more varied exploration in further stages and opening new routes. Play with a friend in 2-player co-op, coordinating special moves to reach hidden nooks and secret loot, covering each other’s backs as you take on waves of demons and challenging bosses, together.Top comment"I love Inticreates, I love Castlevania style games, but this almost feels like a blueprint for a game rather than the full experience. ...These game maje me remeber old games, with a classic style....Geam game"

"As mentioned, I played the original RF3 back on DS, and I still have the copy as well. Like with RF4, it's nice being able to play the game in updated graphics and on a nice TV while still being able to play it portably thanks to the Switch's hybrid design. ...A darling remaster of a DS classic! It's story campaign is definitely shorter than RF4 Special, but it more than makes up for that in the quality of character interactions. "

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will upload all 10 Mega Man Battle Network titles, including graphics filters and additional bonus content, to today’s consoles, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 (PS4), and PC via Steam. The story of Mega Man Battle Network takes place in the near-future interconnected world of Net Society, which depends upon computer programs known as Network Navigators (or NetNavi for short) to manage everything from their toasters to city power grids. While the networked age brings all manner of convenience, it has also imported a wave of cybercrime eroding all levels of society. In these games, players take on the role of Lan Hikari using their Personal Terminal (or PET) and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, to confront the culprits behind these cybercrimes. Player’s control MegaMan.EXE as he explores the net, engages in grid-based combat, and uses Battle Chips to gain devastating abilities capable of deleting even the most sinister viruses.Top comment"As a fan of the series on the GBA and DS, this is a great collection of the GBA series. ...Runs great and has all of the cut content that never made it to the international releases of the original battle network games.
