Juufuutei Raden’s Guide for Pixel Museum launches for PS4 this week
Originally released six months ago for PC and Nintendo Switch, pixel puzzle game Juufuutei Raden’s Guide for Pixel Museum will be launching for PlayStation 4 this week. Jupiter Corporation (the company behind the Picross series on Nintendo systems) also confirmed that the game will launch for Xbox at a later date.
In the game, players are supervised by Juufuutei Raden of the unit ReGLOSS—part of the VTuber group hololive DEV_IS under the umbrella of hololive production. These nonogram puzzles are themed after arts, crafts, and culture. There is also an explanation for each artwork. Nonograms are solved by using vertical and horizontal numbers as clues on a grid board. Juufuutei Raden’s Guide for Pixel Museum includes 150 standard puzzles and 10 special puzzles. Each standard puzzle is one image, while the special puzzles are comprised of multiple images each.
Developed and published by Jupiter Corporation, Juufuutei Raden’s Guide for Pixel Museum will be released for PlayStation 4 on December 10. It is currently available for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Etrange Overloard launches in the West this March
Who doesn’t love a worldwide launch day for Japanese games?! Musical action adventure game Etrange Overlord will be released for PC and consoles in the West on the same day and date as its Japanese release. It will be available in both physical and digital formats, in standard and limited editions. These Western versions have Japanese voiceovers with English and French subtitles for consoles, with Japanese as an added language for PC.
After being (falsely) accused of assassinating the kind, the sweets-loving daughter of a duke named Étrange von Rosenburg is executed — and finds herself in hell! So she does the only logical thing: tries to take the place over. Indulge Étrange’s insatiable need for sweets to get rewards of temporary buffs and bonuses. She rides, fights, and even sings her way across hell. A revolving lane mechanic sends items, buffs, and characters circling the map. As you progress, you can challenge stages with your friends in a separate 2-4 player multiplayer mode.
Developed by SuperNiche/BROCCOLI/Gemdrops and published in the West by NIS America, Etrange Overlord will be released for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2026.
