Round-up: My Merry May remaster releases, S;G RE:BOOT character showcases, and Maximum PileUp launches

Over the last few days, MAGES. and Spike Chunsoft have shared a handful of smaller updates worth highlighting. From the release of the remastered My Merry May collection to a series of Steins;Gate RE:BOOT character preview clips and the launch of an unusual new food-stacking game, here’s a quick look at the latest news.

My Merry May collection now available on Nintendo Switch/PS4 in Japanese

MAGES. has released the My Merry May with Be collection on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan, bringing the remastered version of this classic sci-fi visual novel series to modern platforms.

The remaster updates the 2002 and 2003 titles for modern platforms while preserving the original story and presentation. At the moment, the game is available exclusively in Japanese, and no plans for an English localization have been announced.

Spike Chunsoft shares Steins;Gate RE:BOOT character preview clips

Over the past several days, Spike Chunsoft has been gradually introducing the main cast of Steins;Gate RE:BOOT through a series of short gameplay clips shared on social media.

Although each video is only under a minute in length, they provide another look at the remake’s updated presentation, showcasing the new character artwork alongside several in-game backgrounds. The series includes previews of Rintaro Okabe, Kurisu Makise, Mayuri Shiina, Itaru “Daru” Hashida, Moeka Kiryu, Luka Urushibara, and Faris NyanNyan.

While the clips do not reveal any new gameplay features, they offer another glimpse at the remake ahead of its initial English release on August 20 for Steam and Xbox Series X|S.

Maximum PileUp Now Available on Steam

MAGES. has released Maximum PileUp on Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, a physics-based puzzle game that challenges players to stack an ever-growing assortment of food as high as possible without letting the tower collapse.

Players carefully balance a variety of dishes, including burgers, sushi, pancakes, and desserts to build increasingly unstable towers, with each item behaving according to the game’s physics system. The colorful arcade-style game is a notable departure from the visual novels MAGES. is best known for.

Interestingly enough, the game is available with an English interface and subtitles. However, the Steam page includes an AI-generated content disclosure stating that translations other than Japanese were created using text-generation AI.

That’s all for today’s round-up. As always, we’ll continue to keep you updated on the latest news from the Science Adventure series, as well as other developments from MAGES. and its partners. Stay tuned to Kiri Kiri Basara for future updates.
