Whoa, okay, so let’s just dive into this. Don’t blame the Go Fest exhaustion; blame that anxiety-inducing leak situation at the news editor’s place. Seriously though, I mean, sometimes life throws weird curveballs, right? So here we are, the first week of Q3. Normally super chill – Canada Day, July 4th, you know. But this one, oh man, it’s slower than a turtle in molasses. No big Switch 2 drop this week before we get into the thick of it. Like, there’s a little something on Slender, or some Irem Collection action on Wednesday.
Oh, and there’s a third game in a series. Don’t ask me about the second one; it just sorta vanished? Maybe I blinked and missed it. Anyway, this week feels like one of those weeks where you just go through the motions. Waiting, kind of impatiently, for Super Mario Strikers or Mario Smash Football or whatever they’ve got cooking.
Shadowdrops might be light. At least that’s the hope! We missed a big one – Crazy Balloon from Taito popped into the Archives last week. Don’t ask how I overlooked it; it’s like losing socks in the laundry.
Is the EggConsole game a wild Japanese-only ride? Nah, more like an action RPG, so anyone could probably dive in.
North America rundown? Here goes:
– Irem Collection Volume 3—Tuesday, priced at $24.99 US or $34.99 CAD.
– Slender Threads, Poly Bridge 3, No Heroes Here 2—drop whenever.
– Oh, and things like Dead of Darkness rolling out on Wednesday.
– Others like All The Words She Wrote lining up for Friday.
I could go on, but you get the idea. It’s an exhaustive list. The vibe here is sales and price drops aplenty, especially with Nintendo flashing discounts until July 10. Goodies on Xenoblade classics can’t be ignored!
Over in Europe, it feels kinda similar, but with a twist. Irem Collection, Slender Threads, Poly Bridge 3, and more lined up. Look, I could list all these prices in euros and pounds, but let’s not drown in that sea, okay?
Japan’s scene—Slender Threads and Dead of Darkness show up, alongside some fascinating indies like Lunara: Planet IX and the like. Small prices, big fun, maybe?
It’s a jumble of words and numbers, sure. But if you sip your coffee just right and squint, it all kinda makes sense. Or not. Who knows, really?
