So, you know how sometimes you wake up and the world throws a curveball? Yeah, that was me today when I saw the BBC reporting you could play NES games on a Super Nintendo. I mean, come on, Greg Leahy could’ve set them straight on that mix-up. But, anyway.
This week in Nintendo land, it’s all about Donkey Kong Bananza. Seriously. Mark your calendar for next week’s big review drop in gaming mags. And let’s not forget the Pac-Man exploration game that’s grabbing everyone’s attention. The newsroom swears it’s a masterpiece, outshining some Montreal creation in Shadow Labyrinth. Switch users get that upgrade pack for free, by the way. Now, if you lean more towards “whaaat?”, The Wandering Village is your jam – city-building on a giant creature’s back. Imagine that!
Oh, and did we gloss over some stuff? A new ArcSys fighter called HunterxHunter NenxImpact. Remember those Dragon Ball FighterZ vibes? Fingers crossed. Plus, there’s a Neverwinter Nights 2 port, a remaster collection of Golden Tee games (minus the trackball, boo) and, oh, a publisher change for God Wars. Guess we can’t track everything, huh?
Oh, and here’s a nugget from last week’s we-missed-it list: Super Dimension Fortress Macross II entered the scene stealthily, alongside an Aussie Rules football game that’s missing crucial licenses. So no St. Kilda vs. Gold Coast Grand Final for me.
The FIVE DIMITRIS ALERT! Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge. Seen it? Willem’s take was… something. But why is it only eight bucks in the US and like… eighty in Canada? Exchange rates, get your act together!
Time to delve into the North American game list:
- Switch 2 has Donkey Kong Bananza at seventy bucks, which by the way feels like a rip-off given the Canadian price hike.
- That Pac-Man thingy lands Friday at thirty bucks.
- For the old Switch: HunterxHunter Nen Impact pops off Tuesday.
- Looking for something cheaper? Peek a Fish! is your budget buddy under five bucks.
Jumping over to Europe, you’ve got Donkey Kong Bananza, Pac-Man: Shadow Labyrinth, and all that jazz. Meanwhile, Japan gets an array of fun stuff, though I still can’t figure out why Donkey Kong bananas are priced at ¥7980. I swear they price these things with a roulette wheel.
Alright, my brain’s done. Dive into these titles if you want, or maybe just wait for a big sale. Speaking of sales, Another Crab’s Treasure is marked down till August 2. Grab those deals when you can!
