Final Fantasy creator Sakaguchi wants to bring his Apple Arcade exclusive to PC
Most JRPG fans on PC probably know Hironobu Sakaguchi as the creator and grandaddy of the Final Fantasy series. After he left Square Enix in 2003, Sakaguchi opened his own studio and worked on turn-based adventures like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey – games that arguably matched his genre-defining classics – but PC gamers have been largely unable to experience them, until now. Maybe. Sakaguchi recently took part in a Q&A (reported by IGN Japan, translated by VGC) where he expressed the desire to bring his Apple Arcade exclusive Fantasian to PC.

Mighty Doom is a new top-down arcade shooter coming to iOS and Android
Mighty Doom is a new top-down shooter starring the Mini Slayer and is launching in select countries on March 21.
Announced by Bethesda and developed by Alpha Dog Games, it takes place in the Doom animated universe. Mighty Doom stars a plastic collectible brought to life by Argent energy. As the Mini Slayer, you soon make it your mission to cut down all of the collectibles of demons from Hell. Why? They ran off with your pet rabbit, Daisy.
As the Mini Slayer, you are customizable and are played using a one-touch control scheme. You can run and gun through demons, dodge attacks, pull off over-the-top Glory Kills, and go up against the Doom Hunter in arena combat.

Endlesss turned its music collaboration app into a beatmaking arcade machine
Ever wish you could play an arcade rhythm game that fostered creativity, not just matching notes? You now have your chance. Endlesss has turned its remote music collaboration software into an honest-to-goodness arcade machine, complete with joysticks, a touchscreen, an XY controller and a sea of buttons. You can use it as a stand-up audio workstation with your own plugins and physical instruments, but it comes into its own in an arcade mode that challenges you to compose beats — you might have to loop drums, for example.
The cabinet is ultimately a community effort. Endlesss Discord member NJ Lang liked the idea of an arcade rig so much that he built one, and it proved a hit when the company took it to events. The firm then built a production prototype, and had a strong-enough initial reception that NBA veteran Baron Davis became the first to buy one — you can see his reaction (and an Endlesss sales pitch) below.
This won’t be a trivial purchase. In fact, it’ll make many retro cabinets seem affordable. Endlesss is releasing 25 Launch Edition arcade systems in late February for a $9,999 “introductory” price. You’ll need to put down a $200 non-refundable deposit just to get into a pre-sale ahead of the public debut. You’re buying this because you have an artistic side and plenty of money to spare — everyone else will want to save those funds for essential music creation tools.
