Okay, so, last week was kinda wild, but in a way where I almost missed Super Xevious popping up in the Archives. Anyway, who would’ve guessed? Now, there’s chatter that the biggest game scene about to shake us up is in Japan with this remake of Tokimeki Memorial. It’s got that sorta cult status vibe, you know? But here’s the kicker: all eyes are on Switch 1 Direct, so High on Life is stealing the show. Yeah, that one — led by the dude formerly behind Rick and Morty who, ah, slipped up in a pretty scandalous way. Oops.
And while we’re onto gaming chit-chat, Friday’s lineup cards another intriguing name: Spiritfall. Though, spoiler alert: EggConsole’s raising prices as it steps to PC-98 with Rune Worth. Non-Japanese speakers, proceed with caution. Wild guess, anyone? Oh, and Europe’s got pre-launch sales for Switch 2 on the eShop — the trivia winner here is Hitman: World of Assassination.
Shifting gears to North America, where Tuesday has High on Life at $39.99/51.99 CAD. Then there’s Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 for $29.99 — yeah, grab the popcorn. Captain Blood swashes in at $24.99, Mirage: Ignis Fatuus at $19.99, and a couple more like Chaos Galaxy 2, Spiritfall (come Friday), and Dunk Dunk. Toss in some quirky titles: Pet The Pup At The Party — clearly Monday vibes for $9.99, and Laundry Simulator 2025 pops up on, fittingly, a Friday. Epic name, no? There’s more: Kitten Lost Her Box for $2.99 — I can’t even make this stuff up.
Oh, quick sales note: May 4 vibes mean Star Trek: Legends is slashing prices by 67% until May 18. Go wild, Trekkies.
Jumping to Europe’s shores, things mirror North America vibe-wise but with that euro flair. High on Life hits at €36.49, Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 at €29.99, and Captain Blood midweek at €24.99. Got runners like Chaos Galaxy 2 arriving on Wednesday, and folks gearing up for Spiritfall come Friday. Dig the differently charming String Theory or perhaps nail a date with Date With A Psycho Killer Girl… because, why not?
Then there’s Japan, where Tokimeki Memorial Forever With You Emotional stands tall at ¥6600. Imagine romantic nostalgia but anime-style. Other daily progressions stack up similarly: Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 (some ¥4350 storyline there), Captain Blood midweek wanderings, and Spiritfall rocking Friday feels.
Alright, that’s plenty. Honestly, it’s a bit of a jumble, but that’s what’s floating around in the gaming cosmos this time. Go ahead, catch a game, or maybe just note down the mess like I tried.
