Bandai Namco releases Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer today. This game is an exploration action RPG that supports up to three players in online co-op. Sword Art Online is a famous light novel adapted to several mangas and animes. The action takes place in virtual games in the Seed network and the main character is a young man named Kirito. In Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer, a mysterious space suddenly appeared in the Seed network, known as "Unknown". Players challenge a new adventure with Kirito and his friends and encounter a new brand new heroine named Rico (voice by Higashiyama Nao). Sword Art Online Arcade: Deep Explorer features two terminals (ViSTer): ViSTer station to play the game and ViSTer terminal to purchase profile card and ressources cards (items). On the ViSTer station, players control 3 characters to challenge different quests (defeat monsters and explore dungeons) from the mysterious space Unknown. They use a stick to move the characters and perform actions such as steps and guards with the L1 and L2 buttons. To activate various skills, players can touch the skill panel at the bottom right of the screen. At the start of the game, the skill level is 0 and it rises by defeatig enemies and succeeding missions. The upper left numerical value displayed on the screen is the "activity limit", and when it reaches 0, the quest fails. It decreases over time but also when the character's HP goes to 0 (the character ressurects anyway). At the end of a mission, the characters gain experience and can level up.

Sega releases Chrono Regalia today, a brand new strategy game using virtual cards and a touch screen. First announced in January 2018 under the name Sen Sen Sen Ki, it was renamed to Chrono Regalia when Sega reworked the game to improve it after a first disappointing location test. The player embodies the commander of a team composed of four characters and he must defeat the commander of the opposing team. He can compose his team with characters from different classes (Fighter, Hunter, Sorcerer, Cleric, Knight,...) and equip them with weapons, objects and magic thanks to the virtual cards. Chrono Regalia is multiplayer oriented but a story mode is also present. Collaboration with other Sega games (Border Break, Sonic, Sakura Taisen, Yakuza,...) are already planned from March to May. You can watch the game trailer here.
