To say a game is slightly reminiscent this week is to call E3 a little annoying.
The big release this week on a worldwide basis is the long-awaited Ever Oasis, which drops Friday. Casey will have a review up shortly, but it's a very chill experience based on the demo and is certainly worth looking into. But if you don't trust me on that, Neal's preview should help in that regard.
And from a game made by a Zelda-adjacent team, we go to a flagrant Wind Waker, um, "homage" with the week's big worldwide release on Switch, Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas. If you must get your fight on, the weekly Arcade Archives release is the progenitor of Divekick, Fatal Fury 2. There's a couple of interesting eShop titles as well for the 3DS: River City Knights of Justice and Runbow Pocket for New 3DS owners, while Cave Story+ dropped into North American stores.
Each territory has an oddly intriguing release as well: North America gets the free as in speech Daikon Set, Europe picks up a fun-looking puzzle game from the creators of Hot Rod Racer and ZaciSa: Defense of the Crystal Dimensions, while Japan's other Switch title is the second touch-only game on the system.
