Since its founding in 1996 by ten former members of Capcom, the company has been responsible, especially, for the Mega Man Zero series, amongst many others (Gal*Gun!). Although this news isn’t Mega Man-related,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We probably don’t have too many more entries in the Gal*Gun series to look forward to. Sony has pulled the plug on the series, and at the very last moment, Microsoft pulled back on this new one, Gal*Gun Returns, which was originally scheduled for an Xbox…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Gotta catch ’em all! PQube, in collaboration with developer Inti Creates, has announced Gal*Gun Returns for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC (Steam).
