I will only be thankful today if Nintendo announces that forward compatibility for the Switch successor is on a per publisher basis and their denylist is longer than War and Peace.
Things we missed last week: A fixed version of Case of the Golden Idol (called a “Complete Edition”) is available after some pretty gnarly glitches Guillaume talked about on RFN, and North America got Moon Shuttle (the one that was just in Europe and Japan the week before) and Power Spikers in the Archives. A New Blood Interactive shooter (Faith) also dropped.
It is 11pm as I’m writing this, so we’ll be brief especially since the big game is one where nobody wins. Aside from another thing for the Mario Party Monthly crew, we have the long-awaited Aksys published fighting game Blazing Strike, an Idea Factory horror game called 9 R.I.P., and Ubisoft’s Just Dance ’25. Outright’s weekly release is a TMNT based game, we’ve got a revival of Killing Time (another one of those mid 1990s FPS games), and “RetroRealms Arcade” is a shell for two previously announced 2D platformers based on the Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead movies. Crow County has also gotten some love as of late.
