Sure! Here’s my quirky take on it:
So, I woke up today, right? And the first thing I see is this wild claim from the BBC. Apparently, you can stuff a NES game into a Super Nintendo. Like, what? Greg Leahy should’ve gotten a call for that nonsense. It’s all bananas, really. Speaking of which, Donkey Kong Bananza is the big talk this week. Everyone’s buzzing about it. “Review next week,” they say. Really? Cool, let’s wait for that one.
But hey, if you’re into the weird stuff, Pac-Man’s doing his maze-y thing in some exploration platformer. Still don’t get how that’s bigger than Montreal in Shadow Labyrinth. News desk disagrees, though. Oh, and if you’re wondering about The Wandering Village—yep, it’s that city builder on a giant creature’s back. Who even thinks of these things?
Oh man, almost missed a few tidbits: there’s a new ArcSys fighter—HunterxHunter NenxImpact—from the Dragon Ball FighterZ crew. Maybe it’s good? Who knows. And Neverwinter Nights 2 is making a comeback. Remastered Golden Tee, but sorry, no trackball. Why, though? It’s like they’re taunting us. Also, God Wars found some new publisher. Old RPGs don’t die, they just fade away, huh?
Now for the funny stuff from last week: Remember Super Dimension Fortress Macross II from RFN? Yup, the Archives have it. And, there’s an Australian Rules football game—no licenses, sadly. Can’t fake that St. Kilda versus Gold Coast dream. Ah, dreams.
Speaking of strange pricing: THE ‘FIVE DIMITRIS ALERT’! Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge caught my eye—Willem checked it out. In Canada, it’s priced at a whopping $80. Eighty bucks. Hope it comes with a real pineapple or something—I mean, come on.
North America
Switch 2 has Donkey Kong Bananza, if your wallet can handle $69.99. Pac-Man and his labyrinth for $29.99, if that keeps you awake. Moving on, Switch 1’s got HunterxHunter Nen Impact (sounds intense), Bustafellows (can’t even), and hey, Ever tried upcycling in Upin & Ipin Universe?
Check out Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition—if you’re into that. HunterxHunter, Beat Em Up Collection, Golden Tee with no trackball… feeling nostalgic yet? I could go on forever—like, Gym Manager on Friday. Make your little cartoon people suffer, why not?
Honestly, prices are all over the place. From Cozy Monsters at $4.90 to Pineapple’s $79.99 headache. And who can resist a $1 Korean Drone Flying Tour? Cheap thrills, baby.
Europe
Moving across the pond, Donkey Kong Bananza’s swinging for €69.99. Pac-Man still can’t escape his labyrinth (€29.99, same as you-know-where). More fun from HunterxHunter, Bustafellows, and others. Who names these, right?
Neverwinter, The Wandering Village—take your pick. Where’s my obscure indie title, you wonder? Check Beat Em Up, God Wars, or, just maybe, Pineapple at €7.99. You’ll need a vacation from the prices.
Japan
Switch 2’s got that Donkey Kong Bananza craze at ¥7980. Not feeling it? Pac-Man’s still in his maze-mode. Again. Over on Switch 1, DistortedCode sounds dramatic for ¥8580—must be profound or something.
Oh man, the rest is a wild, colorful list. From Golden Tee (¥3400, still sans trackball) to quaint items like Moonlight Swordbreaker Minato (¥990). I mean, it all feels like a fever dream—not gonna lie.
And that’s it, I guess. Go, grab your wallet or something. But, maybe think twice about that $80 pineapple.
