Oh boy, where to start? Last week, Super Xevious sneaked by without a peep from anyone — still not sure how I forgot that. Anyway, speaking of things that stuck in my brain weirdly, let’s gab about this: the Switch 2 buzz is all over the place, but there’s a debate brewing in Japan over Tokimeki Memorial’s remake. Honestly, maybe it’s just nostalgia talking. But, what’s clinching the spotlight? That would be High on Life (yeah, the shooter) — helmed by the guy behind Rick and Morty, until, well… let’s just say personal scandal ensued.
Moving onward — or maybe backward, depending on my train of thought — Spiritfall is strutting onto the scene Friday. There’s also a curious bit about the EggConsole price hike cozied up to the PC-98 line with Rune Worth. (If you don’t speak Japanese, you might just be staring at the screen, dazed. Been there!)
Over in Europe and North America, we’ve got pre-launch Switch 2 deals trickling in. (Trivia alert: the first title in the scrum? Hitman: World of Assassination.) But I’m rambling. Here’s the lowdown, region by region:
North America Highlights:
- High on Life – $39.99/$51.99 droppin’ Tuesday. Had to double-check that, couldn’t believe it.
- Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 – $29.99/$41.99, play at your own peril.
- Spiritfall – $19.99/$25.99 on Friday — see, I ended up back here.
Oh, and “Date With A Psycho Killer Girl”? I can’t even. Seems like horror shows are making their mark, or trying to.
Europe’s Quirkiness:
- Same suspects, different prices. High on Life at €36.49/£30.49 on Tuesday.
- Stratogun is popping on Tuesday too. (€10.99/£8.99)
Do folks across the pond also find “Cat & Rabbit Pizza Farming” strangely appealing, or is it just me?
Japan: Standing Out:
- Who could ignore Tokimeki Memorial? A cool ¥6600 might have you tempted.
- Chaos Galaxy 2 at ¥2300 — probably a hard turn unless you’re in on it.
Japan’s list feels like a whole different world sometimes, eh?
Price slashes galore with May 4th celebrations bringing Star Trek: Legends down 67% until May 18. Why did I just remember this now? Maybe my brain is wired for discounts. DekuDeals and PSPrices are probably your go-tos for the juicy bits.
There you have it, my chaotic rundown of this week’s gaming buffet. I’d pen more here, but hey, wasn’t this legged enough already? Can’t promise not to change my mind later.
