Hoping that a certain avian skateboarding game wasn't forced to bail at the last minute.

One of my most hyped games of 2021 (the only non-RPG that didn't make my list from earlier in the year, in fact) was supposed to be out Friday as of press time in Skatebird - but there's no pricing details as of article launch time it's been delayed to September 24, so we'll hold off for now. Cygames and XSEED continuing their apparently profitable relationship fills in the headliner role this week with Shadowverse: Champion's Battle, which is the only children's card game I could find that checks in at a T rating... oh, "in game purchases". That's why.

Smaller / nonretail releases I'm watching this week: Witch Spring 3: [ReFine] is a new entry in the tactical RPG genre, and Button City comes over from the Wholesome Direct as well. It's a good week for card games in general, as if Shadowverse is out of your price range you could always go rogue with Cardaclysm or One Deck Dungeon. Also, there's a Doctor Who adventure game coming out... only in North America thus far, interestingly.

Japan is relatively light this week, possibly due to a holiday brought on by ridding themselves of the mafia, so the only exclusive release thus far is a new Yu-Gi-Oh game. No word on when it'll land IN AMERICA.
