Sure, here you go:
So, the BBC jumped the gun a bit this morning. They were all like, "Hey, you can play NES games on a Super Nintendo now!" Someone should’ve nudged Greg Leahy before they said that, you know?
Anyway, or wait, was it anyway? There’s this whole buzz in the Nintendo world right now about Donkey Kong Bananza. I mean, everyone’s talking about it. Keep an eye out for our thoughts on it next week—gonna be a big feature or something. But, hey, if you’re into the weirder side of gaming (who isn’t every now and then?), maybe check out the Pac-Man exploration platformer? Honestly, it’s got people here more worked up than Montreal did in that Shadow Labyrinth whatsy-thing. Oh, and if you snag it on Switch, that upgrade pack is free. Nice touch.
Things got a bit under the radar too. New ArcSys fighter called HunterxHunter NenxImpact—they’re the Dragon Ball FighterZ folks, so it might be something? Neverwinter Nights 2 is getting a port too. And Golden Tee, but no trackball… why even bother, right? Plus, God Wars has some fresh publisher backing it seems.
Last week slipped some stuff by us too. RFN had us talking about Super Dimension Fortress Macross II for a hot minute. Plus, this random Australian Rules football game slipped in—unlicensed, so my dream of a Grand Final with St. Kilda versus Gold Coast is just that… a dream. Oh well.
FIVE DIMITRIS ALERT: This Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge game? Okay, it’s $8 in the US, but WHOA, 80 bucks in Canada. What’s up with that, eh?
