Before we begin, a word as it pertains to this space going forward: Starting next week, this will be posted on Mondays, and kept up to date through the week. Most of the lineup is known by Sunday anyway, and it gives me more time to prep the article over the weekend and actually see about playing games at night. (Plus, the only thing we get from the Nintendo PR every week is demos.) The Japanese listings will be filled out on Wednesday evening.

As for releases this week, the big guns are Hand of Fate 2 for those who like their children's card games to have unreliable narrators, Adult Swim's latest drug trip Pool Panic, and the long-awaited Sausage Sports Club. The Archives should probably get top billing in a fashion, as Sky Skipper has been confirmed for launch Friday (local time) and joins League Bowling from SNK and Jaleco's mid-80s hit City Connection which hit the board today. And in other news of the old school, the Sonic Mania DLC is out along with the WarioWare Gold demo.

In Europe it's a similar lineup, whilst Japan gets a new horror game from Nippon Ichi Software and... Taiko no Tatsujin. Yes, there is motion controls. #DealWithIt
