Alright, let’s give this a whirl. Here’s what’s in my head about last week, or you know, maybe the week before. Guess I missed Super Xevious in the archives. Honestly, it’s like there’s always something slipping past when juggling, well, everything.
So there’s chatter about the juiciest game in the T-4 weeks countdown to the Switch 2 happening in Japan. It’s a remake of Tokimeki Memorial. But wait—could it get upstaged by a cameo in the Switch 1 Direct? We might just have to crown High on Life as the “game of the week.” Crazy shooter, right? And wouldn’t you know, the mastermind behind it is the same guy who was steering Rick and Morty until, uh, personal scandals meant he had to step down. Life, man.
Okay, what else? Oh, Spiritfall’s up on Friday, which is cool-ish. I can’t help noticing that the EggConsole is jumping to the PC-98 family with Rune Worth. But if you’re not a Japanese speaker, good luck! Europe seems to get the edge with pre-launch sales for Switch 2 games on the eShop. Hitman: World of Assassination is the star answer for trivia jargon.
Over in North America, get ready to empty your wallets, people! High on Life is dropping Tuesday at $39.99—gotta love pricing oddities across borders! Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 is a thing too. Then there’s Captain Blood ($24.99 on Tuesday) and a wacky list of other titles. Let’s not forget—Pet The Pup At The Party is hopping in on Monday. Can’t say I’ve heard of that pup but hey, we’ve all been at a party where there’s a dog, right? Maybe they’ll let you pet the pup. Or maybe the pup pets you?
Europe’s seeing a similar scene. Prices are all over the place, and honestly, who can keep track of currency exchanges versus game value? Spiritfall hits on Friday, too, in case you’re asking. There’s Strings Theory getting tangled up on Wednesday and let’s just say Dunk Dunk could be a steal depending on how you look at it.
In Japan, Tokimeki Memorial is getting fancy, priced at ¥6600, and those shipwreck-stacking, graveyard-lounging simulator fans can enjoy… their niche, I guess? Captain Blood sets sail on Wednesday—probably.
Oh, you asked about sales? May 4 is Star Trek day or something. I’m not a Trekkie, but if you are, take advantage of the 67% off for Star Trek: Legends until May 18. It’s practically a Starfleet command to save money.
Anyway, that’s the whirlwind look at gaming for the week (or last week—time’s funny like that). Who knows what next week, or the week after, will bring? Stay tuned or just zone out to the next thing. Whatever floats your falcon. 🐦
