If the site's been inconsistent in recent weeks, it's straining to hold up under a game database that has more than 10,000 games on Switch alone.

Things we missed last week: Namco's Blast Off in the Archives, Ubisoft attempted to make up for delaying the new Assassin's Creed by, uh, launching another Monopoly game, and the bastard children of Midjourney and ChatGPT swarmed the eShop to the tune of SEVENTY FOUR GAMES (though I use that term incredibly loosely in most of the cases) released in the week overall in North America.

After a week that managed to require the Ripley Doctrine to navigate even with a great Zelda game, this week is looking downright Wii U-like by conparison. And yet it's still kind of suspect, especially over at Anime World Report with a new Sword Art Online game AND a Picross game from Jupiter based on The Rising of the Shield Hero. Had that last one been (ROT13: Erqb bs Urnyre) we'd be prepping the nukes. We also have the start of a long streak of Outright Games titles starting with The Patrick Star Game (as per the last partner showcase).

A couple of titles that look intriguing include a new multiplayer mayhem game from Q-Games in "All You Need Is Help", and the EggConsole adding Silver Ghost - a game that inspired, among other things, Shining Force.
