Description

Bakumatsu Rock blends historical Japanese setting with music-driven gameplay, letting players battle foes using rhythm-based attacks. The game features a single-player campaign that follows a band of rebels fighting against oppressive forces in a stylized Bakumatsu era. Developed by Marvelous AQL and released in early 2014, the title also inspired a manga and an anime series, expanding its cultural footprint beyond the console. Its unique mix of music and action offers a fresh take on the rhythm genre for fans of both history and rock.

Dancing with the Stars brings the glitz of the TV dance competition to your living room. Choose from a roster of celebrity avatars, learn choreography, and compete in single‑player or split‑screen multiplayer modes. The game features a library of popular tracks, customizable outfits, and a scoring system that rewards timing and style, making it a fun party title for friends and families alike.
