Featuring only a minor case of executive overreach.
Things we missed last week: Taito's The Ninja Kids in the Archives, and a late entry for Star Trader (wait, Falcom made a shooter?) in the EggConsole line.
In words I never thought I'd write in this space even after a shocking remake, we have a new entry in the Famicom Detective Club series this week with Emio - The Smiling Man: the demo is out now and should have four parts by the time the game unlocks proper Thursday morning. The other big one, also due Thursday, is Partner Showcase star Gundam Breaker 4: remember when building your mech that the red ones are three times faster.
Smaller things this week: Friend of the pod Gori: Cuddly Carnage drops Thursday (video preview here, demo also available), as well as the long-awaited (and randomly hard as balls in co-op?) Shadow of the Ninja Reborn. There's even a double shot of EggConsole with the second scenario of Xanadu.
