As we wrap up another week in the gaming world, let’s dive into what’s been happening, particularly in the realms of what’s hot on the eShop.
First things first, last week’s highlight that might have slipped under your radar was “Senkyu,” a match-3 puzzle game making its way into the Archives. Now, a quick reminder for everyone: you have until tonight to snag those My Nintendo Gold coins from purchases. This opportunity isn’t just limited to the full-priced games; even sale items from the Humble Store or Best Buy will bag you the full coin value. So, if you’re looking to complete your collection, now’s the time! This week, though, the pickings are somewhat slim. We have a delightful Doraemon-themed Picross game taking the spotlight, alongside a new title from Gal Guardians, albeit under the guise of PQube as the publisher. And for those feeling nostalgic, Nightdive has given the 1995 PC adventure game “I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream” a fresh coat of paint. My only interaction with it back in the day was through a demo disc that, much to my dismay, refused to work properly.
As we approach the end of the fiscal quarter, everything seems to be hitting the shelves in a frenzy. It’s a bit overwhelming, especially when I’ve only managed an hour and a half into Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive since it came out. At my current pace, it feels like I’ll complete it sometime around the universe’s inevitable cooling. Thanks heaps, folks.
