Listen to my story... of why the week's priciest game caused a day's delay.

Man, Jersey traffic sucks. Anyway, what's up for this week?

The big ones - both in file size and play time - fall to Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, which mark the beginning of OH GOD ALL OF THE RPGS for Switch that won't abet until the calendar flips over. Note that the eShop version includes both games,... Read more...

Hoping to see one good stability GIF and one request for folders in the comments.

Featuring RPGs, Puzzlers and Shoot 'Em Ups

If July wasn't busy enough for you, maybe you'd like to go hunting for 40 hours or so?

A series Nintendo fans may only know from a crossover game is finally making its full Nintendo debut this summer.

God Eater 3, the most recent title in Bandai Namco's multiplayer hunting series, will release on Switch worldwide July 12 (barring Japan who get the game on the 11th). Players will... Read more...

Star Wars? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

It'll be thirty months from launch before Star Wars makes the Switch run.

Zen Studios have announced Star Wars Pinball will release on Switch on September 13, in both digital and physical forms. The 19 table collection covers the movies, TV shows, and even specific characters such as a Lando Calrissian-inspired table.

You'll have to investigate quickly.

Spike Chunsoft has released new details about their upcoming detective story Ai: The Somnium Files.

Psychic detective Kaname, the player character, must dive into the dreams of others in order to solve real world mysteries. Mental blocks are puzzles that obscure the truth, and any action Kaname takes while exploring dreams will draw down a six minute time limit.

...would this be a Kirbyvania?

The third quarter will feature some bright whipping action.

Whipseey, the debut commercial release from developer Daniel Ramirez, has been scheduled for release in Q3 (July - September) by publisher Blowfish Studios. The 2D platformer stars the titular Whipseey, who uses a whip on their head to attack enemies, swing from points in the environment, and even extend jumps by twirling it like a helicopter.

How much wood would you trade for an eShop card?

Settling the land will get a bit easier in June.

The Switch version of Catan that was announced last year finally received a release date today: June 20. Pricing was not released, but the previous Asmodee Digital-published board game, Carcassone, launched December 6 in North America at a US19.99 price tag.

Now you see why the difficulty curve is more of a gentle slope.

This month's NES Online update includes the ability to be just a little godlike.

In addition to the previously announced updates, today's update added a SP version to Kid Icarus. The special version provides the game's Three Sacred Treasures - Wings of Pegasus, Arrow of Light, and Mirror Shield - and starts out in the final stretch before Medusa.

By way of a TV commercial.

It's not known if it'll come with 3.0, but Stage Builder appears to be coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

A new commercial for Ultimate has dropped on Nintendo's YouTube channel, and the opening second of the ad shows a new version of the game's menu showing Stage Builder on the same row as Amiibo and Mii Fighters.

It's like the Thirsty Mage, only with more robots and less RPGs.

If trying to juggle April's releases is driving you to drink, a new place to drown your sorrows will open in early May.

VA-11 HALL-A, the PC and PlayStation Vita visual novel centered around the life of a futuristic bartender, will release on Switch May 2. Set largely in the titular bar, the player has to maintain a standard of living and experience the story of the bar's many unique patrons.

If you're like Donald who can't win to save his life, you still might get the gold.

The Tetris 99 Cup will return this weekend, with more opportunities to bring home the (999) gold (coins).

Running from Friday at 9 a.m. EDT to 2:59 a.m. Monday morning, the tournament will award 999 My Nintendo Gold Coins ($9.99) for top players. The second competition will institute a points system based on finishes during the play time, with 100 points being equivalent to a win, and the top 999 scorers receiving the money.

I think the bold text collapsed somewhere around the four-way women's tag.

The bold text decided to ship off to New York for a wrestling weekend, and was last spotted unconscious in the nosebleeds at Snoopy Stadium so it's got the week off. I hope there's no objections to this week's big game: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, the collection of DS games appearing on every system known to man. Alternatively, the well-acted Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice provides some nice psychological and philosophical discussion.
