this week's Console Archives title: the 1991 FC/NES adaptation of Koei's Napoleonic strategy game, L'Empereur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR_kHSnM6zQ there's an EN version, at least...
the Qubyte reissue of Gaelco's Biomechanical Toy is dated, it'll be out July 16 https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/biomechanical-toy-qubyte-classics-switch/
Qubyte's stuff is generally awful and I cannot imagine them turning things around for the sake of the Gaelco catalogue, but let's see
btw this is probably info for nobody but when I was looking into the fate of Soleil (ex-Team Ninja, basically Devil's Third studio minus Itagaki), I noticed that a bunch of them look to have been poached/jumped ship to a GungHo studio formed for the specific purpose of continued Ninjala dev
as it happens, someone from the (now dead?) publisher of that game looks to have transferred it to a company that exists solely to keep it on storefronts
afaik the other game Soleil was making for them has gone with someone else from that publisher—who's making it now, if anyone, I couldn't tell ya
"L'Empereur" was released by KOEI in 1991 for an 8-bit home console...
