‘Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim’ for iOS and Android Launches This Spring in Japan with Pre-Registrations Now Live

A month ago, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim from Nihon Falcom was announced for an iOS and Android release in Japan through Manhattan Project. If you’re not familiar with Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim, it is a part of the long-running action RPG Ys series has had tons of releases across different platforms ever since the original debuted back in 1987. On iOS and Android, Ys I and Ys II Chronicles from Dotemu are available with Ys VIII set to release in the future. Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim originally released in the West on PS2 and it was eventually released on PSP and then PC. The initial mobile announcement only mentioned that Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim would hit iOS and Android in 2021 in Japan. Today, pre-registrations have gone live and the game has been confirmed to be a free to play “online RPG" titled Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim. There are no actual screenshots or gameplay videos of this release yet. Check out the game’s official art from the official Twitter account below:

Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim launches this spring in Japan on both iOS and Android through Restar Games. You can pre-register for the Japanese release on the official website here. The reward tiers include various things like silver coins, chaos stones, star dust, and more. As of now, Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim is still only confirmed for Japan. Considering it is not a direct port and an online RPG, I don’t expect it to make its way to the West but more surprising things have happened in the past. I’ll definitely give it a shot when it hits iOS in Japan just to see it has been adapted to mobile. If you’d like to play the original Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim on a modern system, you can get it on Steam or GOG. If you’d like to check out some Ys on Nintendo Switch, get Ys Origin or Ys VIII. These are standalone releases so you can jump in anywhere more or less. Hopefully we get more information on Ys VIII for iOS and Android soon as well. What is your favourite Ys game?

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into. Let’s roll into it! News ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Now Features the Hero from ‘Dragon Quest’ I actually got a prediction right for once! Praise me!

There are other Dragon Quest -related items that have been added to the game alongside him, like new Mii Fighter costumes and such. If you...

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
