Memo to Idea Factory International and Aksys: NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

Things we missed last week: Festivus (aka a Nintendo Direct) WAS declared, with three shadowdrops (Easy Come, Easy Golf/Various Daylife/Radiant Silvergun) among the number. For reasons still unclear, the last one was yanked from the eShop immediately in North America... hopefully just a ratings board snafu that can be fixed quickly, especially since it's in Europe and Japan still.

We're starting to get into the big retail season, with six games (we don't have pricing for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival outside Japan yet, but it's also due), and the most prominent of those being The DioField Chronicle from Square Enix - the third of twelve games they will publish on Switch between last week and the end of February. However, I need to express my displeasure toward Aksys Games and Idea Factory who have apparently decided to take me out of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the Turtles collection with three novels to read releasing 48 hours apart. From the same developer, no less. Thankfully, I will have the two Amnesia games ready to go tomorrow pending any day one patches so I can go right into Piofiore 1926 as soon as the code hits.

A big week for the download space as well, headed by the pending release of Return to Monkey Island. Sadly, if you're reading this, you probably missed the horse armor: thankfully, it has no practical effect. Shovel Knight: Dig finally blows onto the scene, puzzle game Moncage, RPG Jack Move, adventure title Beacon Pines, long-awaited RPG No Place for Bravery... all of which have some of my interest. Finally, it's nice to see that the "sexy puzzle game" genre is finally expanding to manservice - even if it is members of Japan's community of crossplayers.
