Game Rant Game Guide April 1994

Happy April Fools'! What's up video gamers? Another month of exciting video game news here, as we take a look at some wicked upcoming titles. Can you believe it's April already!? It's been like, forever since there's been any news about Nintendo's "Project Reality", but we finally have the scoop. The word is out that with the Atari Jaguar already out, and Sony in development of their PlayStation game system, Nintendo also wants in on the 64-bit, polygon-based action. We have it on good authority that Project Reality will be revealed in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that! In the mean time, let's preview this month in video games!

Apogee's Raptor: Call of the Shadows kicks off the month of April, ducking and shooting its way onto DOS home computers. It's available right now at any fine video game retailer, so check it out! Next up is Final Fantasy IVarriving in Japan tomorrow - so we'll see it soon, right? Psych!! The long-awaited Super Metroid features the return of Samus Aran, as she blasts her way onto the Super Nintendo on the 18th. Fatal Fury II smashes onto American soil at the end of the month, so check back in for a more approximate release date!
