Last week, it seems we overlooked the arcade gem Vs Mystery Tower, an import from the Famicom era nestled within the Archives.
Today holds a special significance for me—it’s been ten years since I moved into my current apartment and accepted Neal’s offer to contribute to NWR. I imagined this week might bring a Chrono Trigger re-release or the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition preload. But alas, that’s reserved for Thursday. Perhaps a version of MLB 2025 where the Toronto Blue Jays mirror the prowess of the 1927 Yankees? Unfortunately, while the early access drops on Friday, the Jays won’t quite live up to those legendary standards. So, what’s on the horizon?
Not much that sparks my interest, except for the intriguing adventure game On Your Tail. Sadly, it’s only appearing in European listings, leaving me uncertain about a broader release. And then there are the abundance of comic apps popping up in Japan. Perhaps Fate: Reawakened will resonate with those dreaming of Silksong.
