After a whirlwind week on the Nintendo Switch scene, we’re returning to some semblance of normality, which admittedly, feels a bit dull by comparison.
In case you missed it, Namco slipped in Assault Plus to the Archives last week. Now, last week could only be described with the phrase: "OK, so THAT happened." Between the monumental hype train of the Switch 2 Direct and the chaos that followed from the aftermath, this week’s upcoming lineup feels like a peaceful retreat. But don’t fret—there are still intriguing new releases to look forward to. Star Overdrive is gearing up to make waves; we got a glimpse of it in the Direct a mere week and a half ago, though it feels like a distant memory now. Also on the horizon is Battlefield Waltz from Idea Factory/Otomate, with localizations handled by IFI. But, if you’re like me, you might want to keep an eye out for any necessary day-one patches before diving in.
Other titles worth mentioning this week include the quirky "Promise Mascot Agency," another addition to the Snow Bros. series, and for those intrigued by vintage games, this week’s EggConsole offering is a maze game from 1983, ensuring Pyramid Warp is an easy grab for those outside Japan.
