Wow, this week feels like an ultra-light suitcase packed to the brim. Kicking things off with Gradius Origins—seriously, lasers in this game are a must when facing that NES Pro Wrestling final boss. Guess it’s a good time to mention a classic, The House of the Dead 2 remake—but watch out for Forever Entertainment. Oh, and if blasting isn’t your thing, dive into anime worlds with Demon Slayer and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Anime overload? Maybe, but it’s there.
Now, smaller stuff worth a peek: The Edge of Allegoria. Seriously, it feels like Pokémon RBY but juiced up for HD! And not to forget, Team17’s Ritual of Raven, just casually hanging out in its own space.
Random stuff from last week: There was a Partner Showcase—cozy by the fire kinda vibe—but yeah, Square Enix reset the “Directs Without Saga Reveal” sign. Seems like Saga reveals are as inevitable as, well, Mondays. Oh, and those 3DS-era Harvest Moons found a new home on the Switch. Almost forgot Field Day from Taito in the Archives. Oops.
EggConsole news! This action RPG is kind of playable without Japanese. It’s in Xak’s world so definitely playable, but good luck if it gets all chatty. Might have you guessing, “Wait, what just happened?”
