Next week is ridiculous, this week is sublime.
What you missed last week: Taito’s Mega Blast in the archives.
Next week will be another quiet week until all the big releases are released to close out the calendar and fiscal quarter (and, tragically, horse racing). From home after attending his last high school graduation, he has to prepare a list of three time zones. You must do so. This week is another backlog battle with some releases we plan to track. Railway Empire 2 finally pulled into the Switch station, Nova Lands (just wrapped up two Summer Game Mess appearances), and action platformer Skautfold: Usurper. The sequel to the RPG that some of my friends are obsessed with is Valtilian Ark: Hero School Story 2. And the tasteful prize goes to Dr. Fetal Mean Meat his machine that takes Puyo Puyo to the slaughterhouse.
And the only retail release of the week (for now) is another Aksys co-production, albeit developed by Nippon Columbia, which hits Japan two weeks from now.
