21 games and maybe one worth talking about.

There are certain weeks in which trying to make chicken salad out of the release list (ie: something useful) is nigh-impossible, and a week after the New Year is usually one of them. There's not a single Switch 2 release to be found, for instance, with the next one up the cheap upgrade to the Switch 2 edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. So unless you're fiending for a Fairy Tail dungeon crawler, this is another backlog week.

Also, Japan, I thought we agreed no more foot content.
