The next EGGCONSOLE release on Nintendo Switch from D4 Enterprise has been revealed to be Falcom’s side-scrolling RPG Popful Mail, specifically the NEC PC-8801 version of the game. Popful Mail also saw a release on the PC-9801, PC Engine CD-ROM, Sega CD, Super Famicom and Windows PC, with the the Sega CD version being the only one to get a Western localization thanks to Working Designs.
A comical bounty hunter’s adventure begins in a world of swords and magic. The definitive slapstick action RPG is here! This is a side-view action RPG released by Nihon Falcom in 1991. The player takes on the role of Meiru, a female bounty hunter, and sets out on an adventure to track down Material Horn, a great magician who has been put on a bounty.
In the game, players progress by using weapons and projectiles to attack, as well as jumping, but there are also puzzle elements such as pushing blocks to create footholds to advance, which will surely entertain players in every way possible.
In addition, if you add companions to join you on your adventure, you can change the playable character and fight anywhere, anytime, and there are also tense battles with boss characters at key points.
Be aware that since this is not the Sega CD version, this version will be untranslated in the West.
The game will be released on July 11th, 2024.
