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
