I wish I could tell you more about this one, but the way it uses flashing lights was giving me a bad headache. It’s stage-based, and there’s a local two-player mode you can dig into. This is kind of an arcade puzzle game where you need to turn ghosts into apples by catching them and matching ones of the same color.

Extra features are minimal but it has the basics you would want. The emulation here is as as good as that of Panorama Cotton, which means it is a lot better than the Saturn Tribute games. I find its presentation isn’t quite as vibrant as the first game, but it plays well enough. Indeed, it’s very similar in terms of mechanics and structure to the original game. Cotton 100%, the installment of the series that dropped on Nintendo’s 16-bit console, is a lot more of a traditional entry in the series. Panorama Cotton isn’t the only expensive Cotton game coming out of the vault today, either. I’ll be doing a review of this one soon, but do note that it was handled by a different developer from the somewhat disastrous Saturn Tribute Cotton games. It’s a behind-the-character shooter, like Space Harrier or, I don’t know, Burning Force. Here’s another treat coming out of the vault: Panorama Cotton, a technical showcase originally released on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. Because of the latter aspect in particular, it has been really nice to see almost the entire series get reissued in the last year or so. They all involve a witch who is obsessed with candy, they all have plenty of shooting action, and they all cost an arm and a leg on the second-hand market. There are a few common elements among the Cotton games. Yes, they did bring back a couple of the palm-shredding stick-spinners from the first Mario Party. You get five classic boards from the Nintendo 64 Mario Party games, one hundred classic minigames from the Nintendo 64 and GameCube entries, seven different modes, and multiplayer support both online and offline for up to four players. Well, vive le choix, as with Mario Party Superstars you can enjoy some greatest hits of the series. Some people didn’t get into Super Mario Party for various reasons, even though they really enjoyed the old Mario Party games. Let’s get started! New Releases Mario Party Superstars ($59.99)

Then there are the lists of new and expiring sales, of which the former is quite robust today. We’ve got summaries of all of them, as we always do. Leading the pack is Nintendo’s own Mario Party Superstars, and backing it up is a mix of retro rereleases, horror games, and various other odds and ends. In today’s article, we cover the rest of the releases for the week.

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for October 29th, 2021.
