Last week, we might have missed a little gem: Vs Mystery Tower, the arcade rendition of the Famicom classic Mystery Tower, quietly popped up in the Archives.
Today is a bit of a landmark day for me. It marks ten years since I made my current apartment home and also joined the NWR family, thanks to Neal’s invitation. So what’s on this week’s gaming horizon? Maybe a Chrono Trigger re-release to celebrate? Or perhaps the pre-loading of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition—though you’ll have to hold on until Thursday for that. And there’s an early edition of MLB 2025 where the Toronto Blue Jays are channeling the legendary 1927 Yankees… okay, maybe not quite, and that’s dropping on Friday. So, what’s really coming out this week?
Well, it’s not exactly a bountiful feast unless you’re into niche comics from Japan or excited about the new European release of the adventure game On Your Tail. Maybe Fate: Reawakened will quench the thirst of those eagerly awaiting Silksong.
### North America
Let’s dive into the releases hitting North America. We have “Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Familia Myth: Full Land of Water and Light” priced at $49.99 in the U.S. and $64.99 in Canada.
