Looks like we missed a few things last week: Vs Mystery Tower, the arcade rendition of Famicom import Mystery Tower, popped up in the Archives. Surprise!
Today, funnily enough, marks ten years since I not only settled into my current apartment but also took up Neal’s offer to begin writing for NWR. So, is there a Chrono Trigger re-release to celebrate? Maybe the preload for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition… Oh, that’s hitting on Thursday. And there’s a special MLB 2025 version where the Toronto Blue Jays channel the legendary 1927 Yankees… but that early access hits Friday, and unfortunately, the Jays aren’t the powerhouse we’d hoped for. So, what do we have in the lineup?
Not much, frankly, except for an intriguing new adventure game, On Your Tail. But it’s just listed in Europe for now, so who knows when it’ll make waves elsewhere. Also, Japan is buzzing with comic apps. Perhaps Fate: Reawakened will stir something for those eagerly awaiting Silksong.
