Pop'n Music Jam&Fizz
Konami, 2024
Pop'n Music has always been that weird bemani series that looks cool and cute, but you never try because it's not close physically and buying a controller is hard nowadays. The long-running series is in its 27th year - the same amount of time as its sister series DanceDance Revolution - and it shows no signs of slowing down. Jam&Fizz introduced quite a few Konami Originals and new songs and only removed six from the play roster. There's never a wrong time to get into a niche side of bemani and Jam&Fizz is cute overload and a welcome invitation.

Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!!
Team Arcana, 2014
This arcana fighting game is very much like Guilty Gear X and BlazBlue, which also were published by Arc System Works. Gorgeous and stylish, Love Max is a fighter that uses characters who fight using elements of tarot cards. An organization called the Drexler Institute worked behind the scenes and later came to power after a dimensional distortion known as the Great Kanto Incident devastated Japan. The playable roster has different motives in the investigation behind the incident and works to either help save the country or sink it. If you have the slightest bit of interest in the Guilty Gear or BlazBlue series, this may appeal to your senses.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves
SNK, 1999
Garou: Mark of the Wolves, later released for the Dreamcast as Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves, continues the legacy that Fatal Fury stalwart Terry Bogard began in the King of Fighters Tournaments. The pair hunt for answers about the legacy of the Howard name after Terry killed Geese at the end of Real Bout Fatal Fury. The classic fighter features 13 new characters except for the returning Terry, marking the debut of Rock, and introduces several concepts such as Tactical Offensive Position (later seen in Capcom vs. SNK as an S-Groove mechanic) and Just Defend (also later seen in Capcom vs. SNK 2 as an K-Groove mechanic). It's the start of something good as the recently released City of the Wolves carries on the excellent legacy. See our full review here.

Judgment
Sega, 2018
Set in Sega's Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) universe, this game is part action, part mystery. Former lawyer turned private eye Takayuki Yagami, who is investigating various murder cases, finds himself in a conspiracy involving a previous client in the city of Kamurocho. Leaning on a new protagonist in Yagami, Judgment forges its own path as a part of Yakuza but not exactly the same game.
