Puns and 90s nostalgia are a few of my favorite things so this was a good week to be on new release duty! We’ve got a couple of RPGs, a 90s favorite platformer, golf, and more 90s toys.

This wins for best golf game title! The game is a golf sim with lots of social features including creating and sharing your own courses.
Valkyria Revolution

This action-RPG includes permanent death as a game mechanic. It’s inspired by the European industrial revolution and has a hybrid battle system of turn-based and combat to increase intensity.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Release Date: June 30, 2017
Platforms: PS4

They’re trying with the pun here but unless his side-kick is named N I’d say it’s a stretch. Coot-tastrophe would have been better! The game is a 4K remaster of the first 3 Crash Bandicoot titles.
Micro Machines World Series
Release Date: June 30, 2017
Platforms: PC, XBO, PS4

This is bringing back Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia for me. I wonder if the world’s fastest talking man John Moschitta Jr. gets to make a cameo! I think my favorite part about doing the new release articles is the internet nostalgia clickholes it sends you down! Enjoy this retro-Micromachines ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzbUPfoveok
Oh right and the game is a racing team battle game that includes cameos from other Hasbro licenses including Nerf, G.I. Joe, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and Ouija.
