  • PinkSweets: Ibara Sorekara includes Version 1.0, Version 1.01, Arrange Mode, HARDER Mode, EXTENDED Mode and S-ATTACK Mode.

Boosted with new music and online features

The Boosted subtitle refers to a newly arranged soundtrack, with players able to switch between the original and arranged tracks. City Connection also says the release will include online rankings and replay data recording.

Featured composers listed for the new arrangements include Daisuke Matsumoto, Yosuke Yasui, Hagane and Sean Bialo.

Why shooter fans may want to watch this one

The two games are built around score chasing, bullet-heavy patterns and multiple difficulty paths. Muchi Muchi Pork! leans into its unusual pig-themed premise and Lard Attack mechanics, while PinkSweets centers on shield play, large-scale counterattacks and a tougher set of challenge modes.

For fans of classic arcade shooters, this looks like a straightforward way to get both games in one package, with extras that should appeal to players who like to compare runs, rankings and replays.

City Connection shared the announcement alongside a trailer and the official website.
