Comically Vicious Vertical Platformer Jump King makes the jump to Switch on June 9th!
London, United Kingdom, May 27th, 2020 – UKIYO Publishing and independent game developer Nexile are thrilled to announce that their critically acclaimed and comically punishing platformer Jump King is heading to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on June 9th.
Jump King is a tough as nails “tactical leaping adventure” that challenges players to ascend a colossal tower to rescue a smoking hot babe at the top, where all they can do is jump. Players must set themselves in the desired position, charge their jump just right, then let gravity do its thing as they make each nerve-wracking leap. Should they be the right and true king of jumping, they shall land on a ledge. Otherwise… well, it could be a long drop down.
Every point of progress is saved along the way… but so is every setback. Jumps that cause you little grief one time may become the bane of your existence upon encountering them again. It’s worth experimenting with different routes and tactics though, as Jump King features multiple paths to success. All this is wrapped up in a nostalgic pixel art aesthetic, full of colorful characters and evocative locales.
Make no mistake, Jump King is an extraordinarily difficult game, yet it can be relished by anyone looking for a tough but fair challenge. It’s sadistic enough to drive a seasoned gamer to tears, yet accessible enough due to its simple controls and mechanics, that anyone can overcome its challenges – perseverance is key! Do you have what it takes to be the one true Jump King?
“It’s great to finally be able to share Jump King with players on console,” said Felix Wahlström of Nexile. “Building the entire game around just jumping was very amusing. I’m happy we stuck with the purity of our vision. We managed to distill the mechanic to one of its truest forms, creating an unforgettable challenge for players! Jump King has a modern structure and a mechanic taken for granted with a twist, all in a captivating and classic package. We think console gamers will both love and hate it, just like we do”.
“Jump King continues to offer the team at UKIYO Publishing some of the most hair-pulling, infuriatingly fun moments of our gaming lives,” said Paul Hann of UKIYO Publishing. “I’ve still not managed to reach the top of this devilish castle, but at least now I can try to do so from the comfort of my sofa.”

Sexy Dungeon Crawling Comedy RPG Moero Crystal H is Making its Western Debut on Switch!
Hong Kong – May 21st, 2020 – In a joint collaboration, independent developer and publisher eastasiasoft and online retailer Playasia, are bringing Compile Heart and Idea Factory’s sexy dungeon crawling comedy Moero Crystal H to western audiences on the Nintendo Switch. Coming to North America and Europe later this year, this will be the first time western audiences will have a chance to play the third entry in the Genkai Tokki series. Moero Crystal H will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop as well as a boxed release exclusively through Playasia, where both the standard and collector’s limited edition will be available for pre-order on May 28th.
Moero Crystal H is a dungeon-crawling RPG telling the tale of Zenox the “Lucky Pervert”, who must partner with a troupe of monster girls to reclaim the stolen Bra of Darkness, an object of great power needed to save the world. Equipped with the “Panties of Light” to guide them, our heroes embark on their mythical quest.
The original Moero Crystal was a 2015 PlayStation Vita game, but it never saw a release outside of Asia. While a follow-up to Monster Monpiece and Moero Chronicle, Moero Crystal H is a standalone story featuring all new characters. This remastered edition features an upgraded HD presentation, all previous DLC characters, English language subtitles, and the new “Double Scratch” feature, which updates the “Loving Scratch” mode so players can interact with and raise the affection of two monster girls at once! (now featuring HD rumble support).
Moero Crystal H features deep turn-based combat as players explore a series of grid-based dungeons. Fight and recruit more than 80 monster girls, then mix and match their outfit combinations to change their appearance and skills. Climb aboard the “Funyaton-Go” for shoot’em up sections and discover secret stages hidden within the monster girls. Upgrade your gang’s living quarters and pair up monster girls as roommates. With its delightfully quirky fantasies and offbeat humor, Moero Crystal H is the ultimate hedonistic romp!
“At eastasiasoft we pride ourselves in bringing western audiences content they wouldn’t see outside of Asia,” said Joshua M French, Community Manager at eastasiasoft. “Moero Crystal H is unlike anything you’d see made outside of Japan. It’s the ultimate cultural artifact – and an excellent RPG in its own right!”
The Moero Crystal H Limited Collector’s Edition will be limited to 3000 pieces worldwide and include the following items:
A physical copy of the game (region free)
A full-color printed manual
An original soundtrack CD
An artbook
A sticker set
An individually numbered collector’s certificate
A collector’s box (with a beautifully embossed logo)
Moero Crystal H will be priced at US$39.99 (digital / physical standard edition) and US$59.99 (limited collector’s edition).
