Oh, nice find. Yeah, looking at the website the game is still ver 0.0.7 (not 1.0.0 yet) so the physical version is still a demo, not the finished one.
Added, thanks billybob.  :-D

Token Pop

I didn't see any bubble shooter/puzzle bobble styled games developed for the 16-bit system, so here it is!

Match 3  or more tokens of the same color to make them pop, score as many points as possible. There are also three special tokens: fire, star, and lightning, which they have their own functionality.

This dude is a game-building machine

Not sure how it worked though.

NK Soft has released another entry in their visual novel game series, Or Maybe This Is the Perfect Life The Harry Fox Story

Quote
A fox.A strange wilderness.
And a day that was supposed to be simple.
RAKKO only meant to go on a short trip with his friends.
Instead, they end up deep in a remote mountain region filled with things that shouldn't exist.
A giant bear.
Man-eating plants.
A cursed town where people lose their way forever.
And a fox that needs their help.
The fox cub is dying from a mysterious illness called Romus Disease, and the only cure is said to be a mythical food known as Legendary Aburage.
So begins a strange little adventure through forests, villages, and places that feel slightly outside reality.
Sometimes funny.
Sometimes dangerous.
Sometimes surprisingly heartfelt.
And maybe… just maybe…
one small miracle can change a life.
