D4E's put up a google form (Japanese) for people to request games they'd like to see reissued as part of their new EGG Console label for Switch—ICYMI, this is a line of emulation-based, globally-released single-purchase reissues of Japanese computer games (specifically: PC-88, PC-98 & MSX) that kicked off last month; you can grab Relics, Thexder and/or Xanadu right now, and there are already quite a few games in the pipeline, with Silpheed and Hydlide both scheduled for tomorrow.
Read on for a translation of the form, should you need it, as well as some basic info on what's already in D4E's wheelhouse and which games are already a lock:
- game title & original hardware platform (mandatory)
- write a comment on why you'd like to see this game reissued, or any feelings or memories you might want to share about said game (mandatory)
- please write down any previous EGG Console releases you may have purchased
- please share any future expectations for the EGG Console line
- Have you ever used Project EGG? (y/n; mandatory
- Have you ever used EGG Music? (y/n; mandatory)
For reference, D4E/EGG's own catalogue include most or all of the former libraries of T&E Soft, Bothtec, Carry Soft, Winkysoft, Xtalsoft, Cosmic Computer and System Sacom, plus most of Compile's non-Puyo Puyo, non-Aleste library (which generally require the okay from Sega to reissue) and many other odds and ends, and they have a close working relationship with most of the more famous Japanese PC devs/licensors, so one shouldn't presume they won't be able to cast a wide net for future reissues.
Here's the list of confirmed titles/IP; D4E's currently prioritising PC-88 for the moment, but PC-98 & MSX are in the works:
Game Arts: Thexder, Silpheed
Nihon Falcom: Xanadu, Ys, etc
Kure Software Koubou: Argo, etc
Artdink A-Ressha de Ikou, etc
Microcabin: Hurry Fox, etc
Riverhillsoft: Toudou Ryuunosuke Tantei Nikki: Kohakuiro no Yuigon, etc

Fortune: Riglas
Bothtec: Yokai Tantei Chimachima
