After last week’s whirlwind of chaos, we’re sliding back into what’s unfortunately become the routine for Switch OG users.
In case you missed it, Namco’s Assault Plus hit the Archives last week. Talk about a week to remember! Between the Switch 2 Direct making waves and the aftermath of the 20500 chaos, a more tame lineup of eShop releases almost feels like a welcome break. But don’t be fooled—there’s still plenty to anticipate in the coming days. First up is Star Overdrive, a hovercraft-centric game that got a brief mention during a Direct. Can you believe that Direct was only a week and a half ago? It already feels like ages! Also dropping this week is Battlefield Waltz (courtesy of Idea Factory/Otomate, with localization handled by IFI). You might want to hold off until we hear about any day one patches. I’ll be right there waiting for those updates.
Now, for the weekly lineup: Keep an eye out for the "Promise Mascot Agency." Another title on the list is another addition to the Snow Bros. series. And this week’s EggConsole treat is a throwback maze game from 1983, meaning Pyramid Warp looks like a safe grab, at least for those of us outside Japan.
