While it is not completely clear what video games are included that make it a “assortment” – or if it will be out there as a bodily title or restricted to digital-only – the unique Felix The Cat recreation was launched on the NES manner again in 1992. Developed by Hudson Delicate, it was additionally ported to the Sport Boy the next yr.
While Konami was not concerned within the growth or publication of the sport the primary time round, ESRB cites Konami Digital Leisure because the writer for this assortment. As but, we have no additional details about the sport itself, not to mention a launch date or approximate window. We’ll let you already know if and when that adjustments, although.

Whereas we’re on the subject of Konami; final week, I took a take a look at the primary Silent Hill undertaking (it is not strictly a recreation) we have seen for 11 years, Silent Hill Ascension.
“Ascension’s wobbly infrastructure and uneven development system make it onerous to get pleasure from and painfully tough to advocate to anybody aside from essentially the most ardent Silent Hill fan, and even they are a vanishing breed proper now,” I wrote on the time.
