"OK Google, show me the most Japanese video game possible."
The adventure genre is particularly strong this week on Switch, as we have three very interesting takes on the genre. In addition to the long, LONG awaited Kentucky Route Zero there's Not Tonight (the Brexit simulator launching on the best possible day) and Aviary Attorney which is... exactly what it says on the tin.
Other long awaited titles include Skellboy from the Death Squared team (you may have heard them on Talk Nintendo last week), or coffee bar-tending adventure Coffee Talk. (It's like VA-11 HALL-A went to AA.) Sisters Royale, despite the name, is a shooter from the team who created the Castle of Shikigami series previously. Arcsys's 2d tribute platformer Code Shifter is arriving quite quickly, given its "Q1" release. And in celebration of the remaster of Joe Montana's Sports Talk Football this weekend, we've got Tecmo Bowl in the Archives. Bo Jackson, sadly, is not included.
In other eShops, Europe gets the way better deal on the big RPG of the week as Heroland finally comes over, while Japan gets a bunch of VNs and... a Touhou mahjong game.
