This reminds me of a puzzle…

It’s time for another edition of Box Art Brawl, are you ready to rumblllllllle?

Before we introduce today’s competitors, let’s have a little look at what went down last week. Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles was the game on the table for the last brawl, with a tasty three different covers up for discussion and a whole lotta differences between them. Now this was a difficult one to call, but it was Europe’s grizzly zombie cover that came out on top with 47% of the vote. North America landed in second place with 27% and the Japanese box art closely followed with 26%.

“Regular” Zelda videos are also being targeted.

Nintendo is believed to be at it again with YouTube takedowns, reportedly targeting Zelda: Breath of the Wild mods.

Fears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was revolutionary for the Zelda series in a number of ways. You can talk all day about the stunning open world, the tonal shift, the slew of characters and references, and the change in the overall structure of a Zelda game. But maybe the biggest surprise was that it was the first game in the series to feature proper voice acting (no, the Phillips CD-i games don’t count).

For the first time in the franchise’s 30-year history, Zelda, Impa, and plenty of new and returning characters had a voice we could hear. But there’s one big exception to the rule — Link, the hero of Hyrule himself. We’re all pretty accustomed to Link’s “hyaah!”s and “aaaahhh”s at this point, but given that so many of the major players speak, and Link just remains silent throughout important story moments, it seems a little bit odd, even if it’s a recurring theme in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom.

Melondramatic, in the best sense.

We are living in an unprecedentedly competitive attention economy, one in which time and energy are increasingly finite and precious. Because of this, it can be easy to overlook games which appear simple and unassuming at first glance: retro monochromatic Game Boy-style graphics, cute-but-childish anthropomorphic characters, 8-bit chiptune soundtrack — Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is an old-school adventure RPG nostalgia trip, sure, but it reconnects us to a simpler gaming time and it’s got all the hallmarks of a future hidden gem.

The original Melon Journey was a small RPG maker game created over a decade ago by indie team Froach Club. It quickly became a cult classic, with a sold-out ‘Pocket’ version being released for Game Boy later this year by Limited Run Games. This new entry with the ‘Bittersweet Memories’ subtitle was created as less of a sequel to the original, and more of an expansion on the previous bite-sized explorative adventure.
