Sega Ages Thunder Force AC, out "soon" on the JP Switch eShop archives.sega.jp/segaages/tfac/🇯🇵 in addition to typical Ages features (JP/US ROMs, leaderboards, replay sharing, HD Rumble, screen settings, etc) they've also added 3 extra player ships & the customary Technosoft "Kids Mode"
Sega Ages Thunder Force AC's 4 playable ships:

Styx: the original ship from III/AC, presented as-is

Styx "Mass Product": the rebalanced Styx from Ages TFIV & Gold Pack 2

Rynex: the TFIV ship, complete with TFIV weapons

Rynex (Thunder Sword): the TFIV ship plus the charge shot
the "Mass Product" Styx can also spin the options faster with the press of a button, which iirc is based on a certain power-up from TFII
oh and they upgraded the music from mono to stereo, afaik even the '00s-era soundtracks were all still in mono

Billion Road's out today—this was essentially Bannam's take on the classic Hudson boardgame series Momotaro Dentetsu, which seemed like it was dead for good after the creator's public spat with Konami, but it's back now so iunno

when I say it's their take on it, I mean they literally hired a bunch of the old Momoden devs, including their art director of 20+ years, so when Konami announced they'd patched things up with the creator, they had to completely revamp the art style bc the old guy jumped ship
btw, the character designer on the new Momoden is Hideyuki Takenami, the chara designer on the Puyo Puyo Fever games, as well as Super Bomberman R and a bunch of PreCure

Famitsu spoke to five businesses struggling in the wake of the COVID restrictions: the game center Mikado, the boutique game store BEEP, the import specialist Game Station, the toy & comic shop Garimpeiro and the classic indie cinema Shin Bungeiza famitsu.com/news/202004/16…🇯🇵
BEEP seems to be doing relatively okay: overseas customers, who typically account for 50% of in-store sales, have dropped drastically, but mail order, by-appointment, home delivery, etc haven't taken much of a hit, and they're not being forced to close so they'll reopen tomorrow
Game Station's doing it rough: not only did customers drop to near zero but 90% of their stock is imported from the US so they're at the mercy of whichever wholesalers are still open & still have stock to send, so mail orders are also heavily down & they're basically just waiting

tomorrow's Arcade Archives release: Plus Alpha! this is one of Jaleco's most popular arcade games in Japan but I don't think it came overseas & it's never been ported anywhere until now🇯🇵
recently, one of the old Jaleco guys said their bosses told them arcade STG wouldn't make money in America because all the games were in upright cabinets and players didn't like standing in front of them for long periods of time¯\_(ツ)_/¯
btw, around the time the Game Tengoku CruisinMix Switch port was discovered, someone also found a listing for "Plus Alpha Beta" but afaik there's been no further hints at what it might be, or anything to suggest it's a real thing

fwiw, there was a galakei sequel called Plus Beta
