News
We’re getting close to the June 25th release date of
Mario Golf: Super Rush, and Nintendo has started offering up more details on the game. A new trailer for the game was posted on Nintendo’s YouTube channel that goes over many of the game’s features and mechanics. It also reveals the entire starting roster of 16 characters, which includes most of the usual suspects along with odder choices like Chargin’ Chuck and King Bob-Omb. It also talks about the many different modes, with further elaboration on the new Speed Golf and Battle Golf modes. The game looks terrific, if I may say so. And I may, because this is my article.

Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind are two remakes of classic games originally only released in Japan on the Family Computer Disk System in 1988. Thirty-three years later, they ve been remade for Nintendo Switch with upgraded visuals, full Japanese voice acting, and updated music.
You play as a 17-year-old boy who works at a detective agency and takes cases that deal with the supernatural. In The Missing Heir, you learn about the curse of the wealthy Ayashiro family. It s up to you to determine not only if the sudden death of Kiku Ayashiro was actually a murder but also if she has risen from the grave to avenge herself. The Girl Who Stands Behind mostly takes place at a high school where the protagonist must uncover the murderer of student, Yoko Kojima. There might even be a connection to the legend of the bloody female specter that s rumored to haunt the school.

Occasionally, remakes will leave you scratching your head, wondering why anyone bothered to bring an old title back from the dead. With the Famicom Detective Club games making their way to the Nintendo Switch, we have a legitimate slice of gaming history being restored.
Originally released in 1988 and 1989 on the Famicom Disc System, which had retail availability for just four years, the games simply haven’t been played by many people, least of all in the West. If there is ever a case to be made for remaking games and bringing them a modern audience, this is it.
