You can finally book Omega vs Philip Glass, or you can act like a horse's *radio edit*. Or, you could PLAY GHOST TRICK.

Things we missed last week: Well, aside from a Direct drop of a pair of Pikmin games that ditched their brand name products because f**k capitalism go home, we also had: a standalone release of The Wonderful 101's "The Wonderful One: After School Hero" DLC, a roguelike port that gives my spellcheck a coronary in The Last Hero of Nostalgaia, and the racing game Square showed in their press dog and pony at what is quickly becoming The Last E3 - Circuit Superstars - finally released on Switch. Oh, and the Arcade Archives game was the original Splatterhouse which somehow managed to come in at a T rating.

OK, top priority for most this week is Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - or at least it better be. But Ghost Trick marks the end of one of the most absolutely bonkers weeks in terms of release QUALITY this year even disregarding That Stupid Horse Game. We have what could potentially be the best wrestling game on the platform in AEW: Fight Forever, a remake of a beloved farm sim in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, the next original property from the Danganronpa devs in Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, a neat looking romance game with Charade Maniacs (review later this week), and a couple of shooter compilations remastered by the gods of emulation M2 in the Ray'z and RayStorm packs. I'm glad this is a long weekend, because that's just the stuff with a physical release.

If you're more into the smaller stuff, there's a couple of major hitters there too in The Lara Croft Collection (a compilation of the Lara Croft Go puzzle games, not Tomb Raider 2013 - 17), as well as life sim Little Friends: Puppy Island and a remaster of Enclave. But when in doubt this week, just remember this: Dogs good, horse bad. Also, head over to our Discord server if you want to take part in a bet about whether this week's Nintendo download PR puts Everybody 1-2 Switch "above the fold" or is the first Nintendo published game to be "Also releasing this week" since Devil's Third.
