Surely it can't be worse than last week's doubleheader of Silksong and Shuten... wait, a $&@!ing BUBSY collection?
The pickings for this week appear, on the surface, to be supermodel slim (and only on the OG Switch). We have a late version of Xbox / PC adventure Call of the Sea (feat. Yuri Lowenthal), but apart from that... we have a Garfield Kart sequel and the Bubsy collection. And that's pretty much it unless you're into Bratz. However, this kind of slim pickings could have a bomb lobbed into it Directly later this week, so the news desk will be checking Nintendo Today pretty much every half hour this week to see if Festivus will be on.
THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Two big things from the world of sport: capitalistic basketball sim NBA 2K26 and Archives (both Switch and S2) title Mach Breakers, the sequel to Numan Athletics.
IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It's an overhead action RPG but the default character names are in Japanese so I'm going to assume the rest of the text is the same and say it's not recommended.
