Parasol Superstars Premieres on September 16

Playing around in the game world again, huh? ININ just shouted from the rooftops—or maybe just their latest PR—that they’re dropping Parasol Superstars. Two games, one bundle, digital adventure kicks off September 16. Oh, and there’s also a fancy physical edition if you’re into collecting real-world stuff from Strictly Limited Games. Why not take a look?

Right, let’s go down memory lane—or starry roads or whatever. You’ve got Parasol Stars with bubbly Bub and Bob, the legendary bubble dragon dudes. Now they’re, uh, human, I guess? Anyhow, they’re wielding these magical parasols like they’re on a mission. They’re blocking, jumping, and flinging stuff around to save planets. Classic Taito vibes, for sure.

And then there’s Spica Adventure. This one never saw the light outside Japan until now. Meet Nico—a girl in pink with a parasol, on this wild space trip. She’s blasting toy enemies and just generally making each level feel like a childlike riot. Pretty neat, if I say so.

Also, there are some snazzy pictures of the game, but can we talk about how they just teleport you back in time? Or maybe forward to a time when games were simpler yet somehow more magical? Anyway—uh, where was I?

Features. Right. Two full platformer games. Modern tweaks included. Parasol Stars retains that classic flair, while Spica Adventure is finally crashing into home consoles with some fresh bits here and there. Even has local co-op. Because, you know, games are always more fun with friends yelling at the screen beside you. Special Edition for the collector folks. Artbook, soundtrack—all that jazz.

So, if you’re hyped, there’s a pre-order thing happening for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Just a click away from diving into nostalgia—or discovering it for the first time. Whatever floats your boat.
