So Yokoi got kicked upstairs after the Virtual Boy yet Kawazu continues to torture us 33 years after Final Fantasy II?

You know Square, I said at the start of the year that Final Fantasy II and III would end up on Switch, but I was referring to the Super Famicom IV and VI. I most certainly did *not* mean you should continue to put up with Kawazu having pictures of that late 80s party that involved cocaine and presumably several goats. Anyway, the Final Fantasy Legend trilogy (aka three Saga games with the serial numbers pasted over) comes to Switch this week.

Other things of note this week: Space Invaders Forever finally comes out in NA after a last-second delay, the Mercenaries strategy RPG series continues with Mercenaries Blaze, and western Earthbound-like Boot Hill Heroes comes to Switch this week as well. The question mark also puts in some work, as last week's Nintendo download PR included a reference to Dicey Dungeons (RPG from V^6's Terry Cavanagh) coming out on Tuesday, and the Nintendo game list did have a price added with it. However, it has since moved to "Late 2020", joined in that department by fellow Indie World veteran Grindstone. Between that and a new ad released Thursday night, we may have a shadowdrop festival coming our way on Tuesday.

Japan's notable releases include a Touhou exploration platformer that might also come to the West somehow.
