Disaster strikes Japan. It all started when Bakeru the Tanuki met Sun from the Issun clan on a stormy night. He gets caught up in a scourge that shakes the entire country. Bakeru hears that Oracle Saitaro and his Festival Troops are using a bizarre festival to take over Japan. He vows to go on a journey with Sun to bring peace back to Japan. To free Japan from the grip of evil spirits, Bakeru’s adventure to 47 Japanese prefectures begins.In this 3D action game, take the role of the titular character Bakeru on an adventure through Japan’s 47 prefectures to defeat the diabolical Festival Troops and restore peace. There will be battles featuring fairy tale heroes and giant robots. You can fight back using your taiko drum and if you get a Henge license, use the Tanuki’s power of transformation to shapeshift into different forms. The game features the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of Japan, along with challenging stages that showcase the unique characteristics of each region.
A free demo exclusively for Nintendo Switch is available. Check the Nintendo eShop in your region for details.
[LINKED] PlayStation Blog: An important update on Concord (Going offline September 6)
Concord fans — we’ve been listening closely to your feedback since the launch of Concord on PlayStation 5 and PC and want to thank everyone who has joined the journey aboard the Northstar. Your support and the passionate community that has grown around the game has meant the world to us.
However, while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended. Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.

Site Update: We’re now on new platforms! (and more)
That’s right, we’re now available to be viewed on new platforms!
This time, it is on Bluesky and Mastodon, be sure to keep up with the news through these new venues.
In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve also slowly begun refining aspects of the site, as well as adding new categories to define the site’s posts a bit better with more focused aspects. These being the new Corners style posts, with Indie Bar, Steward the Bird and Tech-O-Nator being the newcomers.
- Indie Bar is exclusively focusing on games made by independent developers, history and ways in which these games thrive and more.
- Steward the Bird is coverage of mascot-style games, primarily those of the 3D Platformer nature, featuring a bird as its character.
- Tech-O-Nator focuses on what feels cool and also perhaps useful in our daily lives.
These 3 new corners usually come every Wednesday, sometimes later or earlier than that, but they are weekly. This might change in the future depending on how things go along.
That’s all, folks!
