Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Nichirin Battle Slash
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Nichirin Battle Slash from Konami is available in Japan today. This a game where you collect character cards and use a special controller named Nichirin Sword Controller to battle various opponents. You can perform a variety of attacks by manipulating the Nichirin Sword Controller in accordance with the instructions on the screen. In addition to the Nichirin Sword Controller, there are only two buttons. The controls are very simple and intuitive. You can control famous characters from the series such as Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma and fight against either the Hand Demon or Demon slayers. There are three difficulty levels: Normal Soldier Level, Advanced Soldier Level, and Hashira Level. The Hashira Level level requires quick reactions and is quite challenging. You battle with a team of three characters but by collecting cards you can play with many different characters. Battles are turn-based. When a turn began, you first chose one of three characters and the skill to activate. Once the first and second players have been decided, a roulette will be rolled to decide which player to attack! The roulette has various options, such as Special Attack that can deal super damage, Cooperative Attack where characters work together to attack, Weak attack, Medium attack, Strong attack and Break that can disrupt the opponent's stance. The roulette will stop when you swing the Nichirin Sword Controller. To perform special moves and attacks, you need to quickly swing the Nichirin Sword Controller in the direction of the arrow that appears on the screen. There may also be button instructions, so pay close attention to the instructions and play at the right time: a perfect result will increase the damage. When defending against enemy attacks, you need to guard in the direction indicated by the Nichirin Sword Controller.

Opening of the Pathé Games arcade in Jambes
New at the Acinapolis cinema in Jambes (Namur): the opening of a Pathé Games arcade. It is located on the ground floor, directly opposite the entrance to the cinema complex, where the Los Angeles Café used to be. As in most many modern arcades, credits are loaded onto a card which you swipe on the machines you wish to play. The selection is quite varied, featuring air hockey tables, boxers, crane games, numerous redemption games and a few ticket-based pushers. Here, tickets are not physically dispensed from the machines but are stored on your card. You can then use this card at a prize dispenser located outside the arcade. Our only regret is that there are currently only four video games: MotoGP VR, Monster Kart DLX (a Chinese clone of Mario Kart Arcade GP), Monster Jet Riders and Spin City (see the location page for updates). Let’s hope more games will be added later. Dutch company Highlife Amusements is in charge of the machines. The arcade is open during the cinema’s opening hours and is easily accessible by train as it is located next to Jambes station. There is also a large free car park.

That’s right, you’re not dreaming! An arcade is opening in Namur this Saturday! That’s something this city has been sorely lacking! Born out of a partnership between Skillshot and High Voltage Pinball (the machines from the former and the energy from the latter), this new entertainment venue is set to become a must-visit! Located opposite the station (between Jim's and Bibliopolis), Arcade Nation will offer a wide range of modern arcade games (Rush and Catch, Storm Racer G, StepManiaX), connected Stern pinball machines such as Elvira and Jaws, a machine where you can win packs of Pokémon cards, and more... The system is the same as in the S'pace arcades; you buy a magnetic card, top it up with the amount you want, and swipe the card on the machines to start a game – it’s super handy! Expect plenty of competitions, tournaments and other events... We can’t wait for it to open! Come along in large numbers this Saturday for the opening
