Including a public service announcement that also serves to explain why this is being posted three and a half DAYS later than is normal.

Things we missed last week: A localization of a Model Debut sim (the first ever, I believe?) and Taito's Violence Fight was the Archives game.

A reminder to please get your seasonal flu shots and especially the updated COVID vaccines: I had PLANNED to do this next month (specifically on DQ 3 HD-2D launch day, which dovetailed into my last vacation week), but my non-NWR employer's idiotic "3 days a week in the office" requirement meant that when the person in the cube in front of me got COVID while on a pre-Canadian Thanksgiving vacation, they were still infectious when they got back. You can probably guess what happened next.

And since the world loves to kick me while I'm down... if nothing else shadowdrops between now and end of day Saturday (not bloody likely), we will still have 77 releases in North America and Europe this week, two off the world record set last December in Japan before the shop essentially closed for two weeks. Am I going to be that lucky? Absolutely not. But let's look at what we've got here... Adol Christian still can't beat the shipwrecker accusations in Ys X: Nordics, KIRYU-CHAN~ comes to Switch with Yakuza Kiwami and has already outsold their Wii U appearance, noted PC adventure Slay the Princess comes to consoles, and in the highly questionable department we have Romancing Saga 2 (a Kawazu 9.5 is a 4.5 for anyone else) and Sonic x Shadow Generations as the latest sad chapter in the celebration of Sonic's 30th anniversary.

In addition to Ys X I also seemed to have sweated through reviews of Inti Creates's latest RPG Card-en-Ciel, the debut of Blumhouse in game publishing with Fear the Spotlight, and a new Shin-Chan game. Also, somehow Hatch Tales actually released, so I suppose I should redeem that backer code to play "count the Alan Smithees" with the credits. Lastly, the Archives release is late Konami belt-scroller Metamorphic Force while the EggConsole brings something called "Murder Club" which I believe is the same core game as the JB Harold Murder Club, which means you can use a walkthrough for that game to beat it since the actual adventure game text isn't translated.
