Radiant Silvergun Is Hopefully Coming Back To North American Switch eShop Soon
Update [Mon 19th Sep, 2022 09:20]: Publisher Live Wire has shared an update on the disappearance of Radiant Silvergun from the North American eShop.
The company states that the game was removed from digital shop fronts because “the product’s rating has changed” which is similar to what happened with Mushihimesama last year. Live Wire has submitted the new data to the product board and is waiting for a response, but is hoping that sales will resume on 20th September (PT), though it has acknowledged that the exact dates and times haven’t been determined.
Here’s what Live Wire has to say about the situation on Twitter:
We’ll update this article as soon as the game is live again on North American eShop storefronts. For more information, check out our story below from last week:
Original article [Wed 14th Sep, 2022 09:30 BST]: One of our favourite surprises during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was confirmation that not only is Treasure’s Radiant Silvergun returning, but we can buy it right now. How many of you dashed over to the eShop and downloaded it immediately? In North America, however, you needed to be extra quick, as the game has already been removed from the eShop.
A few hours after the Direct aired, players were expressing concerns on Twitter when they couldn’t find the game on the eShop. The trailer has also been made private or removed from YouTube.
The port’s publisher — Live Wire — has made a very brief statement on Twitter, acknowledging the issue, but it’s a mystery as to why it’s been removed.
“Currently, the Radiant Silvergun is not available for purchase in North America. We will respond immediately. We will let you know when it becomes available for purchase.”
This isn’t the first time one of Live Wire’s games has been suddenly removed from the eShop. Mushihimesama was removed shortly after it was released last year on the European eShop due to an age rating error, but it reappeared the following month:
With Radiant Silvergun, some players are reporting that the port has a few issues, including the music not looping correctly, however no official reason has been given for the game’s removal. Fortunately, the game is still available to buy on the Japanese and European eShops.
We’ll update this article as soon as we know more!

Perseverance rover finds organic matter ‘treasure’ on Mars
A few of the recently collected samples include organic matter, indicating that Jezero Crater, which likely once held a lake and the delta that emptied into it, had potentially habitable environments 3.5 billion years ago.
“The rocks that we have been investigating on the delta have the highest concentration of organic matter that we have yet found on the mission,” said Ken Farley, Perseverance project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
The rover’s mission, which began on the red planet 18 months ago, includes looking for signs of ancient microbial life. Perseverance is collecting rock samples that could have preserved these telltale biosignatures. Currently, the rover contains 12 rock samples.
Digging into the delta
The site of the delta makes Jezero Crater, which spans 28 miles (45 kilometers), of particularly high interest to NASA scientists. The fan-shaped geological feature, once present where a river converged with a lake, preserves layers of Martian history in sedimentary rock, which formed when particles fused together in this formerly water-filled environment.
The rover investigated the crater floor and found evidence of igneous, or volcanic, rock. During its second campaign to study the delta over the past five months, Perseverance has found rich sedimentary rock layers that add more to the story of Mars’ ancient climate and environment.
“The delta, with its diverse sedimentary rocks, contrasts beautifully with the igneous rocks — formed from crystallization of magma — discovered on the crater floor,” Farley said.
“This juxtaposition provides us with a rich understanding of the geologic history after the crater formed and a diverse sample suite. For example, we found a sandstone that carries grains and rock fragments created far from Jezero Crater.”
The mission team nicknamed one of the rocks that Perseverance sampled as Wildcat Ridge. The rock likely formed when mud and sand settled in a saltwater lake as it evaporated billions of years ago. The rover scraped away at the surface of the rock and analyzed it with an instrument known as the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics & Chemicals, or SHERLOC.
This rock-zapping laser functions as a fancy black light to uncover chemicals, minerals and organic matter, said Sunanda Sharma, SHERLOC scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
The instrument’s analysis revealed that the organic minerals are likely aromatics, or stable molecules of carbon and hydrogen, which are connected to sulfates. Sulfate minerals, often found sandwiched within the layers of sedimentary rocks, preserve information about the watery environments they formed in.
Organic molecules are of interest on Mars because they represent the building blocks of life, such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, as well as nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur. Not all organic molecules require life to form because some can be created through chemical processes.
“While the detection of this class of organics alone does not mean that life was definitively there, this set of observations does start to look like some things that we’ve seen here on Earth,” Sharma said. “To put it simply, if this is a treasure hunt for potential signs of life on another planet, organic matter is a clue. And we’re getting stronger and stronger clues as we’re moving through our delta campaign.”
Perseverance as well as the Curiosity rover has found organic matter before on Mars. But this time, the detection occurred in an area where life may have once existed.
“In the distant past, the sand, mud, and salts that now make up the Wildcat Ridge sample were deposited under conditions where life could potentially have thrived,” Farley said.
“The fact the organic matter was found in such a sedimentary rock — known for preserving fossils of ancient life here on Earth — is important. However, as capable as our instruments aboard Perseverance are, further conclusions regarding what is contained in the Wildcat Ridge sample will have to wait until it’s returned to Earth for in-depth study as part of the agency’s Mars Sample Return campaign.”
Returning samples to Earth
The samples collected so far represent such a wealth of diversity from key areas within the crater and delta that the Perseverance team is interested in depositing some of the collection tubes at a designated site on Mars in about two months, Farley said.
Once the rover drops off the samples at this cache depot, it will continue exploring the delta.
Future missions can collect these samples and return them to Earth for analysis using some of the most sensitive and advanced instruments on the planet. It’s unlikely that Perseverance will find undisputed evidence of life on Mars because the burden of proof for establishing it on another planet is so high, Farley said.
“I’ve studied Martian habitability and geology for much of my career and know first-hand the incredible scientific value of returning a carefully collected set of Mars rocks to Earth,” said Laurie Leshin, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in a statement.
“That we are weeks from deploying Perseverance’s fascinating samples and mere years from bringing them to Earth so scientists can study them in exquisite detail is truly phenomenal. We will learn so much.”
Some of the diverse rocks in the delta were about 65.6 feet (20 meters) apart, and they each tell different stories.
One piece of sandstone, called Skinner Ridge, is evidence of rocky material that was likely transported into the crater from hundreds of miles away, representing material that the rover won’t be able to travel to during its mission. Wildcat Ridge, on the other hand, preserves evidence of clays and sulfates that layered together and formed into rock.
Once the samples are in labs on Earth, they could reveal insights about potentially habitable Martian environments, such as chemistry, temperature and when the material was deposited in the lake.
“I think it’s safe to say that these are two of the most important samples that we will collect on this mission,” said David Shuster, Perseverance return sample scientist at the University of California, Berkeley.
Trash or treasure: NASA’s Perseverance rover finds tangled object on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured a mysterious, stringlike material on the surface of Mars. Turns out – it was likely just trash discarded there by the rover itself.
In a blog post last week by the space agency, scientists said that when the rover originally landed on Mars in February 2021, hardware known as Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) was discarded onto the planet’s surface.
Now, NASA is seeing that debris from imagery in the Hogwallow Flats region of the Red Planet. Scientists suspect the tangled object, and most of the other material pictured, is likely pieces of shredded Dacron netting from the Perseverance.
NASA/JPL-Caltech
“So far, we’ve seen shiny pieces of thermal blanket material, Dacron netting material that is also used in thermal blankets,” NASA Imaging Scientist Justin Maki wrote. “It should be noted that discarded debris are common in space missions.”
Dacron is classified as polyester fiber known for its durability, consistency and quality, the blog explains.
“This particular piece of netting appears to have undergone significant unraveling/shredding, suggesting that it was subjected to strong forces,” Maki wrote. “Perseverance team members are reviewing images of the debris, checking to see if the material may pose as a potential contamination source for the sample tubes from this area.”
The blog notes that engineers have also considered the possibility that EDL debris might be a source of entanglement risk to the rover, but have concluded that such a risk is low.
“As Perseverance continues to collect samples for eventual return to Earth, the Perseverance imaging teams will continue to review images of the terrain for possible sources of EDL debris,” Maki wrote.
Sunken jewels, buried treasure uncovered in the Bahamas from iconic 17th century Spanish shipwreck
18th-century shipwreck discovered after 40-year search
Members of the Sogne Diving Club in Norway have discovered the wreck of an 18th-century Dutch merchant ship, the Juffrau Elisabeth, after a 40-year search for the vessel that sank ‘under dubious circumstances.’ The ship sank on March 21, 1760, off the Sogne archipelago, and was found on March 10, 2019.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Talk about a find.
A treasure trove of jewels, medallions and historic artifacts has been uncovered in the Bahamas that date back to the legendary 17th century Maravillas shipwreck — and the public is about to get a look at it.
Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas (Our Lady of Wonders), a two-deck Spanish galleon, sank on Jan. 4, 1656, off the Little Bahama Bank in the northern Bahamas on a trip to Seville from Cuba.
It had been carrying numerous treasures of both royal tax and private property.

The remains of the vessel were scattered for several miles across the ocean, with no significant portion of the ship left behind.
For more than 360 years, archeologists and adventurers have attempted to locate the debris that was lost in the wreckage.
And while much of the treasure — an estimated 3.5 million pieces, out of eight — was salvaged between 1656 and the early 1990s, modern-day technology such as high-resolution magnetometers, enhanced GPS and metal detecting has allowed Allen Exploration to bring to the surface riches beyond one’s imagination.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Allen Exploration founder Carl Allen said that he and his team began pulling up precious artifacts in July 2020 near Walker’s Cay.

High-tech tools, plus the official permission they were granted by the Bahamanian government to search the Northern Bahamas area — known to be a wreckage hotspot — have made for “quite amazing” discoveries, the entrepreneur said.
“We’ve recovered thousands of artifacts,” he said.

“Cannons, anchors, emeralds and amethysts … We’re up to about 3,000 silver coins and 25 gold coins,” he said.
The water in the area only reaches up to 50 feet deep, while the sand can bury treasures down to 20 feet, he revealed.
Yet that didn’t stop Allen from proving his doubters wrong and discovering treasures that took his breath away.

“When I pulled up the first valuable item, I lost my breath,” he said. “I couldn’t breathe.”
“I’ve been thinking about this my whole life.”
The fascinating finds also include Spanish olive jars, Chinese porcelain and iron rigging, according to an AllenX press release.

The team also discovered a silver sword handle belonging to the soldier Don Martin de Aranda y Gusmán; the item helped the teams identify these treasures as belonging to the sunken Maravillas.
One golden pendant with the Cross of Santiago was designed in the shape of a scallop shell.
Four pendants worn by members of the sacred Order of Santiago, a religious band of knights active in Spanish maritime trade, were also recovered.
AllenX considered the Order of Santiago jewels to be the “star” finds thus far.

Three gold chains were retrieved, including an 887-gram gold filigree chain made up of 80 circular links and decorated with four-lobed rosette motifs, most likely crafted in the Philippines, the group said.

Allen Exploration archeologist Jim Sinclair told Fox News Digital that these artifacts reveal how people lived in the colonial period and in the New World.
As an archeologist of 40 years, and as an original explorer of iconic wrecks such as the Titanic, Sinclair said a recovery like the Maravillas reflects an “amazing leap” in technology.
The archeologist also considered the artifact analysis to be a “really good development” in terms of detecting human behavior and history.

Although the worth of these artifacts most likely add up to the millions of dollars, the items are priceless, said Bill Springer, Allen Exploration spokesperson.
None of Allen Exploration’s findings will be put up for auction or for sale.
Instead, the finds will become part of an exhibit at Allen Exploration’s Bahamas Maritime Museum, located at the Port Lucaya Marketplace in Freeport.

The museum is set to open on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022.
It will reveal other exhibits about maritime history in the Bahamas, as well as the transatlantic slave trade and the Lucayan people.
Only 45 survivors
The Maravillas exhibit also showcases the story of the ship’s demise.

The shipwreck was a “tremendous blow,” Allen explained, since Spain at the time was struggling financially and the boat was jam-packed with valuables.
It was one of the largest treasure ships to have ever left the Indies — which is why Allen said he expects more artifacts to be uncovered still.
The “mother lode” has yet to be discovered.
The “mother lode” has yet to be discovered, he indicated; and when it is, he said the haul would be “extremely valuable.”
“The manifest usually on these old ships, a lot of times — it was only about half of what was on the ship because there was so much contraband,” he said.
“So, that’s what’s exciting.”

Along with launching the museum, Allen is furthering his passion for discovery and education by developing underwater archeology programs for Bahamian kids.
“The big problem is, [the debris] is not going to stay there forever,” he said.
“And it’s a playground of shipwreck.”

Hands Of Necromancy Is So Good It Could’ve Been Hexen III
In the mood for a retro-style FPS, I dug around the new releases on Steam, and poked at a few, not really clicking. Until, that is, I found Hands Of Necromancy, and then played it all weekend. This is a Hexen-like FPS, with enormous, sprawling maps, a whole bunch of weapons, an array of enemy types, and some fresh ideas original to the genre.
In three chapters, like all such games should be, the game’s 21 maps are spread between these via three hubs. Each hub has a collection of portals, unlocked by completing tasks in one or another, and dashing between them all as you find keys, new abilities, and so on. It gives it a little flavour of Metroid in amongst the fast-paced frenetic combat and exploration.
Buried Treasure

What I really love here is that Hands Of Necromancy doesn’t feel beholden to Heretic and Hexen, but rather inspired by them to then be its own thing. So as you would hope, there’s a mix of ranged and close-up combat, with a sword and fireball in your starting line-up, then ever-expanded upon as you progress. You find a whirlwind spell that lets you unleash mini tornados, that swoosh enemies backward, and if pinned against a wall, really takes the life out of them. There’s a freezy ice wand, a scythe of rather impressive power, and even a gun when you get far enough in.
Enemies are an amazing mix, with creepy-crawlies, floaty magic-wielding wizards, flying bats (that aren’t impossibly annoying!), and stomping golems. By chapter 2 this same gang is joined by all manner of even more deadly beasties, until fights can be a crazed barrage of colour and gore.
It’s all in 2.5D, but with some very pretty lighting, the whole thing built in GZDoom. The pixel art on the creature designs is fantastic, and while the game leans too much toward gloomy environs, the locations feel detailed and interesting to explore. And more importantly, level design is top-notch, focused on large locations to explore, packed with underground chambers, maze-like crypts, and puzzle-filled towns.
Your character, himself an evil sorcerer, is no hero, out here looking to expand his range of abilities, and fighting not to survive, but because you just want to fight. This obviously doesn’t hugely impact the experience, until you’re reminded of it when picking up a powerful weapon and letting out a villainous cackle.
Oh, and as you progress you gain the ability to turn into various enemy types, including the little snake, the punchy golem, and a horned devil-like beast. This can be used for puzzle solving and secret finding, but also just to fight in a different way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an FPS give the character the ability to transform into the enemies, and it’s such a splendid idea.
The game estimates a 7-hour play-time, which is completely bonkers. I spent almost that long on just the first chapter, exploring every nook and cranny, trying to find secrets, and having a whale of a time. I guess you could blitz through it much more quickly, but that would seem such a waste.
This is tremendous stuff, a game that could absolutely have been released alongside Raven Software’s mid-90s fantasy shooters and held up. (Although people would have been mystified by the lighting tech.) Admittedly, you can get Hexen for a buck-fifty right now, but there’s a good chance you already did. Hands Of Necromancy is a welcome addition to that fold, and developers HON Team have become a name to follow.
