This is WTFMAN, a developer making anachronistic games.

I grew up playing PC games since childhood. The last console I owned was an NES until I was 11 years old. I'm a PC gamer to the bone, and the games I made were made on PC, and I didn't think about porting or compatibility to other devices, because that's still the only way I know how to play games.

However, in the current era, not only home consoles but also various gaming devices such as mobile and portable devices have been released, especially the growth of portable gaming devices is remarkable. Also there are things like Steam Decks that allow you to play PC games on a portable device. I started to wonder if my think was wrong. In the end, the obvious conclusion was that I should follow the trend of the times.

So, I decided to release VOICE, a game I had already released, on portable gaming devices. But there was a problem: I had to do it alone. Porting is never an easy task, and I hadn't envisioned VOICE as a portable game, so the task was daunting.

Then I remembered: I'm the kind of person who makes games with anachronistic concepts anyway, and many of my favorite old games had different arcade, home, and PC versions, so it's only right that I go with an anachronistic concept. So, for April Fool's Day, I'm going to show you VOICE ported to portable devices.

This is a type of game machine that was once made by a company called TIGER ELECTRONICS and other game companies. Did you ever play this game as a child? I have fond memories of playing the Power Rangers game machine until I was about 6 years old.

The object of the game is for Bella to walk down the street and beat up all the DCPCs who come at her with batons. You can punch and kick forward and backward, and if you get hit with a baton, your life will be reduced and you will eventually fall down. You can recover by eating coffee that falls to the ground.

The game is currently in development and is scheduled for release on April 1, 1972.

Q: Why? Just... WHY? A: Because I love it. As I wrote above, I'm from the generation that had fun playing Tiger games as a kid. I know some people think it's a shit game because of the influence of a certain game reviewer, but believe it or not, it was a lot of fun at the time, and I want you to experience that fun too.

Q: Isn't there a scene like this in the original? A: Of course, Bella isn't like this in the original, but that's what games were like back then, and as I mentioned above, there were a lot of games that had different content between arcade, home, and PC versions. A good example of this is the PC version of the Mega Man series, so this is by design.

Q: What about the other handhelds? A: I'm sorry, but I don't know about other handhelds because I haven't done any. I only want to make what I've done.

Q: Will there be any H-scenes? A:
