However little or no goes to seize your ears and slam your face down right into a sloppy plate of superior, ? We’ve bought summaries of all of the video games value summarizing, plus the newest gross sales and expiring reductions. Let’s get to it!
New Releases
Outer Wilds ($24.99)
This Swap port of the highly-acclaimed Outer Wilds was introduced absolute ages in the past, and now it’s lastly right here. This space-faring journey sees you exploring a photo voltaic system that’s caught in a weird time loop. You want to attempt to determine the solutions behind that drawback by observing the planets as they undergo the passage of time. Put your boots down on the floor and hunt round for clues, or possibly simply take pleasure in a pleasant roasted marshmallow. The sport itself doesn’t want a lot introduction, however our pal Mikhail can be reviewing this one to let you know the way the port fares. Fingers crossed, however I’m not tremendous hopeful.
XIIZEAL ($15.00)
If you happen to’re a shoot-em-up fan who cherished the Swap port of Deltazeal, you’ll most likely be very pleased to see XIIzeal come to the system. This sport was initially launched in arcades in 2002, and it actually seems and performs of that period. One cool factor about this launch is that it comes with recorded commentary from the creator that provides some uncommon insights into what the coin-op enterprise was like for a small sport firm again when this sport was made.
Arcade Archives Pole Place II ($7.99)
Oh yeah! Pole Place II! This was one of many video games that simply hung round eternally at my hometown’s mall, and I feel it was there till Daytona USA lastly displaced it. Contemplating this sport got here out in 1983, that’s fairly wild. Anyway, that is principally the primary sport however with extra tracks, and Hamster even went and bought the correct licenses for the Fuji Speedway and Suzuka Circuit for this launch. I imply, sure, most individuals most likely received’t be capable of get into an previous racer like this, but it surely’s an necessary sport and it’s nonetheless fairly enjoyable. Improbable to see it within the line-up, absolutely intact.
Sunsoft Mahjong Solitaire -Shanghai Legend- ($17.99)
It’s one other mahjong solitaire sport, however a minimum of this one comes from one of many unique publishers of such issues: Sunsoft. This launch contains a few additional modes and a whopping 300 levels of ordinary Shanghai to play. Positive, it’s pricier than another choices, however I feel you get what you pay for right here. It’s for mahjong solitaire die-hards, primarily. The varieties of people that would play via 300 levels. Is that you just? As a result of it’s actually me.
Hiveswap Friendsim ($14.99)
It is a visible novel set within the Homestuck/Hiveswap universe, and whereas that doesn’t imply a single factor to me I’m not so missing in consciousness as to assume it doesn’t imply quite a bit to others. That is additionally half one of many MSPA Reader Saga! I don’t know what meaning, however possibly we’ll discover out very quickly? If you happen to like visible novels and you want Hiveswap, you most likely can’t go fallacious right here.
Pesterquest ($14.99)
Oh, effectively, right here we go. That is half two of the MSPA Reader Saga. I prefer it when questions get answered shortly. This one leans extra into the Homestuck facet of it, and I’ll say the identical factor I mentioned about Hiveswap Friendsim. If you happen to like visible novels and like Homestuck, it will probably be one thing you take pleasure in. You should purchase each of those collectively for a reduced value, and it looks as if if you need the entire story then that’s the factor you need to do.
Yukar From The Abyss ($24.99)

Dreamers: A Nostalgic Journey ($29.99)
This sport describes itself as a nostalgic journey with a 90s vibe, and since I can’t discover a complete lot about it exterior of its eShop description and Steam web page, I assume I’ll take its phrase for that. It appears to have some mini-games, and likewise nobody has a face. Which is form of bizarre. Not very 90s to me, that time. I used to be there, we had faces. There are three characters to make use of and a complete island to discover. I haven’t had an opportunity to play it but, so I actually can’t say if it’s good or not. What I can say is that it should use contact controls for one thing as a result of it’s marked as handheld-only within the eShop. Nicely, I go away it to you.
Crystal Chip Collector e ($4.99)
A speedy platformer that screams “five-dollar Swap platformer” about as loudly as something may. You need to race the clock in every of the sixty levels to gather all the chips. It’s set inside a pc, in order that’s cool. Not a lot else to say about this one, however when you really feel like an inexpensive platformer immediately, right here is a kind of.
Nessy The Robotic ($9.99)
I’ve performed this one earlier than on Evercade. It’s an precise NES sport being emulated right here, and like different Nami Tentou NES releases on the Swap there aren’t a complete lot of bells and whistles right here. As to the sport itself, it’s an okay side-scrolling platformer. Type of buggy at occasions, however the sport makes use of bugs as a meta factor so who is aware of in the event that they’re intentional or not. I wouldn’t pay ten bucks for it myself, however you’re the commander in chief of your individual pockets.
Stone Age ($2.23)
I can’t fairly type out precisely what’s going on right here, however this seems to be an motion sport with some gentle RPG components. You management a caveman and may construct up your tribe as you degree up. It’s two bucks. Nicely, two bucks and some cash. I’m positive you’ll be able to handle your expectations.
