Includes several major milestones – one passed and one pending.
What you missed last week: Galaxian from Arcade Archives, a new game from Joe and the Mac.
So last week, we made a bit of questionable history in that this year’s list of Switch releases surpassed the entirety of 2021, with just over a month left, and 1,955 games released in North America (with a margin of error of 0.5% margin). If the absurd amount of Shadowdrop continues for another week (which it really is likely to do), we’ll reach his 2,000th game released in North America in week 48 of this year.
Anyway, fate aside, with Lover Pretend being this week’s only intended retail release, I owe it one last romance to put up with this year – a rarity given the past few weeks at this point. Has a few more Square bangers? One is from Forever Entertainment, but apparently Square had enough, so with the Front Mission 1st remake and the Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song remake, Kawazu is threatening to send more SE executives. Raise the clique on insider trading charges. The football story continues from America’s best draw against England since 1815, but with Inscryption removed from Devolver this week, apparently I misread “1” for “7” in the indie world. is. And after I bit the bullet and accepted that the Grisaia game would never be sold, they dropped another one on me Jesus, I still have to beat the first six of him not!
Finally, we actually received advance notice of archive titles. Yes, that game with invisible Tetris play will eventually appear on home consoles.
