The publisher ININ Games specializes in the publishing of Japanese games, with the editorial line of retro and/or simple games. Typically what could be played on an arcade machine. One of the favorite slogans is the well-known maxim: "games easy to learn, but hard to master".

We have gone through all their titles, but I will go more or less quickly on some, so you will excuse me for this somewhat catch-all section... I only saw a few slides on those that will follow , but I invite you to find out for yourself if they interest you rather than paraphrasing what Google might tell me.
Le beat'em up Slaps & Beans 2 will only really speak to fans of the actors, with an adventure full of mini games, all as explosive as they are ridiculous, for a release scheduled for the first quarter of 2023 on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
Jitsu Squad is an action-brawler that should be released this end of the year on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The objective is to master the battlefield by leveling up your warriors, each with special moves and specific weapons. And, incidentally, to save the galaxy from the clutches of an evil wizard!
Planned for the same period and the same platforms, Ninja JaJamaru: The Great Yokai Battle +Hell is the first real compilation offered in Europe of the series with no less than six titles included (the oldest of which dates from 1985, at the time released on the NES). The 90s title, originally released on the Game Boy, has been colorized for the occasion. Two other collections, The Lost Ninja: The Lost RPG et JaJamaru - Legendary Ninja Collection comprising two role-playing games and eight games respectively, will also be ported for Europe.
Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef
I was able to test Run & Gun on Nintendo Switch, a frenetic 2D side-scrolling game. The controls are relatively simple, with one of the joysticks controlling the camera, and the other directing the weapons. We progressed through a level filled with vindictive enemies, against a backdrop of explosions and metal music (composed by Deon van Heerden). You have to jump from platform to platform and pass doors, in order to get the angle of fire to sauce the enemies. Until arriving near a boss, whom I managed to kill in extremis, in order to avenge my ally from ININ Games who unfortunately succumbed before the end of the fight. A victory nevertheless, even if we were in the lowest difficulty mode.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!
I couldn't play the puzzle shooter, just discovered a video and screenshots of a few levels. Video here:
This new version takes up everything that made the success of the license, including the cute little dragon characters, by adding a fully playable campaign for 1 to 4 players, with even a scenario!
In principle, players are supposed to collaborate, although of course nothing prevents annoying friends by doing anything.
The puzzle, developed by Taito, will be released exclusively on Nintendo Switch sometime next year.
