Running, exploration, and a trilogy in four parts for Mario's day.
Missed last week: The Archives game is the old Namco shmup Dragon Spirit, and a game that will get sued by both 2K AND the New York Times.
For this MAR10, we have a couple of major games - the largest in terms of time is the entire four part trilogy of .hack//GU coming to Switch (remember, if you die in the game, you die for real), or the green flag for the Chocobo GP. Smaller titles of notes include the game John's had for a month in Aztech: Forgotten Gods (former Indie World game), long-in-development Young Souls, and Playism's food-hunting RPG Potato Flowers in Full Bloom.
The last item of the week is the ultra-rare Double Disclaimer Corner for Republique: Anniversary Edition - NWR founder Billy Berghammer worked on the crowdfunding for the game, and developer Camouflaj recently hired former Japan editor Matt Walker. Truly, the most appropriate way to celebrate the site anniversary.
