Things we missed last week: Square Enix Collective title Little Goody Two Shoes dropped.

As tempting as it was to find out one publisher had leapt on all of the worst elements of the eShop (not even the same publisher, use of AI art) and handing in my resignation, we press on as it appears we will pass the 2022 total for North America next week. (Watch the shadowdrops take up my entire long weekend.) The biggest releases for me are the latest round of gunfire from the Otome Armada in Virche Evermore -Erro:R Salvation- from Aksys, though I might step down to the smaller releases of a pair of Double Dragons that should take them out of contention for the NSO libraries. Or Air Twister, the new game from Yu Suzuki aka the one member of classic Sega still making games since one's in jail and the other tragically DIED.

Smaller items this week; If you held a gun to my head I would have sworn up and down that Salt and Sacrifice was already out on the eShop, a deckbuilder in the vein of FTL called Cobalt Core that Jordan called his PAX West 2023 Game of the Show, and another Recharged game from Digital Eclipse owners Atari in Berzerk.
