M2 at it again. This time with Cybernator! :o

I remember getting it along with Mickey Mania, Buster Busts Loose and Pop n Twinbee one magical Christmas that I still pinpoint as the moment I stopped being on top of games. The backlog began. Even moving onto the drip feed of the N64 I never went back and got those SNES games properly under control. That's right, I haven't, to this day, been beyond the second level of Cybernator. Sad but true. :santa:

Magical Drop VI comes to the Nintendo Switch eShop in April

Now up on the main page.

Release date, overview, and trailer.

- - - - -

The Magical Drop titles have been around for a while, there's even a decent GBC port of the original game.

I hadn't even heard of the series until the original Neo Geo versions of the games were released on the Wii Shop Channel... a while ago. This tradition of the games getting released on Nintendo (and other platforms) seemed to continue with the Switch, as the excellent ACA Neo Geo versions of the earlier games have been available for a while including Magical Drop I - IV... I believe.

There is even the SNES version of the second game, available on Nintendo Switch Online, so it's easy to get into at this point, even if you play the game for just five minutes (yeah right...) to see if it's a Puzzle game series that you can get into.

Over a decade ago, Magical Drop V was made... it got released on Steam... it is no longer on Steam, though it's probably for the best.

Now, over a decade later, Magical Drop VI is coming out on the Switch and Steam this April, and this time... it would seem that the series is making a hopefully welcome return. The game is being handled by Forever Entertainment (yes... of Panzer Dragoon remake "fame") but in conjuntion with other studios, plus... it's a puzzle game, so there doesn't seem to be much which can go wrong with this game, especially as lessons seem to have been learned since the last attempt, and this time the game should shine as another excellent entry in the simple but addictive Puzzle game series.

It will seemingly be a full-priced (for a puzzle game) title, at around just under £20, but with all the extra modes etc featured in the trailer, it should prove to be worthwhile. :peace:

And if not... oh well, maybe they'll try again in another decade?

I know the switch is region free but if I were to buy an Eshop voucher in Japan could I use it on my PAL switch? They've got one for Kirby's Dream Buffet for about £10 and it could be practical and a nice little keepsake but if it's not going to work I won't bother. 

I've checked already and apparently it has an English language option in the Japanese version

You can't use it on your PAL account, but if you were to make a new Japanese based account (I think you change your region in the settings, then make a new account), then you can use that to have a yen based account.
You can then download Kirby's Dream Buffet, and use it just fine with your normal account.

@Dcubed does a similar thing to get the Japanese NSO apps, so it should work here too. Hopefully, he replies quickly to verify it for me.

EDIT: Found a Reddit post with a step by step for how to make a Japanese account. Just substitute buying stuff with a credit card with your game voucher.

You can access any region eShop on any Switch, but you can only use an eShop card/code/voucher on the matching region’s eShop.  So if you buy a $50 eShop card, you can only use it on the US store, not the UK one.

Anything you purchase in a different region store can be played by any account on that same Switch, regardless of region.  So if you have a Japanese account and you make a purchase on there, you can then play that game using a UK account on that same console.

One neat quirk of the above is that NSO subscriptions apply to all accounts on a given Switch, regardless of region.  So if you have a UK account which has an active NSO subscription, your Japanese account on the same system can then download and use the Japanese NSO NES/SNES/N64 etc apps for free (and you can then play the Japanese games on your UK account if you so wish).
