Last week slipped by, and we somehow managed to overlook the arcade version of Famicom’s Mystery Tower sneaking into the Archives.
Today is a milestone for me, marking ten years since I both settled into my current apartment and took up an exciting offer from Neal to start writing for NWR. So, what kind of week might this momentous anniversary bring? Could it be a shiny new Chrono Trigger re-release? Or perhaps the preload for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition… ah, but that’s set for Thursday. Maybe we’ll see Toronto Blue Jays playing like the legendary 1927 Yankees in MLB 2025—though the early access version out on Friday doesn’t look too promising for the Jays. So, what’s actually on the docket?
The lineup this week feels more like a ghost town. Apart from the intriguing adventure “On Your Tail,” which is only showing up in Europe for now, what’s there? A collection of comic apps appealing predominantly to Japan, perhaps. Who knows, maybe “Fate: Reawakened” will stir hope in those still yearning for “Silksong.”
