I honestly didn't think it was possible, but it's actually happening. The big game of the week is Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the last first party retail class title on Switch for the first insane calendar year for the console. If you haven't read John's review yet or checked out the video, he kinda liked it.

Other items of note this week include Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 - sold separately on the eShops, but North America can get at least 1 on the card. The ultra-violent Serial Cleaner is the big indie hit from our friends at Curve Digital, while there's four retro offerings today: 2 Archives (Traverse USA, better known as Zippy Race for my fellow 31-in-1 NES players, and World Heroes) and what may be the end of the Wii U VC with two missing TG-16 titles.

Europe has a few delayed retail releases this week (Superbeat: XONiC, Gear.Club Unlimited and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2) while Japan has the return of Nobunaga to get stomped by Xenoblade 2.
