As game developers prepare for a conference, we have a serious case of thunder in our thighs.
T-7 days until the 3DS and Wii U eShops close. If you’ve been waiting until the last minute to buy, it’s almost here. If you purchased an eShop code but have a Nintendo Network ID linked to your Switch, you can add them to your account here.
What you missed last week: In the archives of Namco’s sequel Thunder Ceptor II, Japan went from 29 games to 56 games in a week’s shadow drop.
The big thing this week in terms of price is the digital deluxe edition of MLB The Show 23, but the big release for my money (until next week) is basically what happens when Chrobin and Lucina get a trilogy Atelier Ryza 3 released on Friday, and it’s absolute realm power in this latest game that Awakening has done with Alchemy RPG the way it did with Fire Emblem. This week’s other retail class release is John’s 7.5 special from Remnant: From The Ashes (patron saint of 7.5, via THQ Nordic).
This week’s smaller titles include the oft-pimped “Have a Nice Death,” Annapurna’s Storyteller, which literally chooses its own adventure, and Monorail Stories, a game that sounds very loud. Forever Entertainment has come to my area and is hiring people who are not related to me on Fishing: North Atlantic. Maxon Park Express, aka one superior substack. (The fact that a close friend and former roommate of mine was trying to find gold in the wrestling world in the silly year of 1995 is purely coincidental.)
