The game proved popular among players but both the original arcade release and console versions garnered average reception from critics, some of which reviewed it as an import title. Iwao Horita and Naomi Susa acted as co-supervisors, with Shungo Katagiri serving as the game's sole planner, while the soundtrack was scored by Gamadelic. Prior to Magical Drop II, Data East had previously developed a number of Neo Geo titles such as titles such as Spinmaster, Windjammers, Street Slam, and Karnov's Revenge. Two players can also participate in a competitive versus mode. Gameplay is similar to its predecessor Magical Drop (1995) albeit with improvements the objective is to clear the screen of constantly advancing colored 'drops' via a character placed at the bottom of the playfield, which can grab drops and make them disappear by putting them as a column of three or more drops of the same color. In the game, the player takes control of one of several characters, battling against computer-controlled opponents before facing the villainous Empress in a final encounter. It is the second entry in the Magical Drop series. It was later ported to Neo Geo CD, Super Famicom, and Sega Saturn. Omega Strikers is also a new free to play release, worth a shot at that price.Magical Drop II is a 1996 puzzle video game developed and published by Data East for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. Also Strayed Lights looks like an interesting release, as does Fran Bow. New release highlights: Who doesn’t love a bit of Picross, and now they’re up to PICROSS S9! There’s even a demo for it.



Sure after a while that’s fair, but a month? Na. There’s also a new tactic in the eShop now, take a month old game, bundle it with a small DLC and then call it a “Complete Edition” to bump it to the top of the release list. This week the new releases list was also stuffed with keyword stuffing asset flip games, which we’ve removed because you really don’t want to buy them. A little bit of a fun week in new releases, nothing major but a couple of little things to get the dopamine hit if you require, or to help pass time until Tears of the Kingdom.
