A wheel of fortune where the only things that cost 250 are potions.
It's a big week for battles, with three possible headliners; Square Enix shows some more love to the Year of Tactics with Tactics Ogre Reborn, the concentric remake of the Super Famicom strategy RPG, the martial brawler Sifu comes to Switch after a long time, and we finally see if This Man's work at Sega pays off as The Embattled Sonic Frontiers (tm) comes home. As to whether that last one is worth it... well, caveat emptor, especially on the Switch which you'd THINK would run an action game but not when it's come down with a serious case of Barry. The folks down at Digital Eclipse also have the Atari 50 compilation hitting on Friday as a bit of history is made with Lynx and Jaguar games actually getting re-released.
For smaller downloads, dinosaurs seem to be the order of the day as we have both Jurassic World Aftermath Collection (an adventure game set between the events of the first two Jurassic World movies) and ARK: Dinosaur Discovery which uses that actual working version of the ARK engine for educational purposes. Space-themed shooter Orbital Bullet and action title Aragami 2 (the prior released on Switch a couple of years ago) are also coming. A word about "Milk Inside/Outside": I shortened the title for sanity, because the full title is "Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk and Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk", and it's a pair of short visual novels from Russia. Surprisingly, not Canada.
A bit of an oddity came down last week as North America didn't actually get the Archives title the rest of the world did: Itazura Tenshi (1984 shooter) will be out in NA on Wednesday.
