We get a Yoko Shimomura rhythm game this week! ...wait, who brought in a monkey's paw with a finger curled?

We've got a constrast with the biggest game of the week, as the rhythm game I would buy sight unseen - one with music composed entirely by Mario RPG/Street Fighter/multiple other great games composer Yoko Shimomura - runs smack into reality because it's all Kingdom Hearts music. Yes, Kingdom Hearts, the series so far up its own ass it turned into an egg (stick tap @strawbecky_81 on Twitter) has a Theatrhythm game, and Melody of Memory even adds onto the series canon in some BS fashion. Y'all can have this one, I'm out. Speaking of mistakes, I made the mistake of playing the Senran Kagura pinball game instead of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin at the Last E3 Ever and now I can redeem myself with the full game finally launching this week in North America.

Other titles of import this week: Just Dance 2021 which surprisingly doesn't contain any Ike Turner tunes because it would match up with Ubisoft executives, the remastered version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, rhythm game Fuser (check out Joe's review), and... no, before you ask, that Speed 3 game does not involve threats of terrorist acts or Sandra Bullock.

Japan has some things with various odds of coming over, such as a Piofiore fandisc, a compilation of Medabots titles (in two versions, because Pokemon marketing), and a Saturn / Wii refugee in the form of HARD AS BALLS dungeon crawler Baroque. Note: Baroque does not support English.
