Between the dwindling stock of My Nintendo Gold coins and my snail’s pace with Xenoblade Chronicles X, my current interaction with the eShop is as chilly as a Wendy’s frosty.
In a little catch-up from last week, we overlooked the addition of the Match 3 puzzle game, Senkyu, in the Archives. Now, a little reminder: tonight’s the cutoff to earn those illustrious My Nintendo Gold coins from your purchases. Remember, buying and redeeming codes from retailers like Humble Store or Best Buy means you get the full coin value, sale or not. But when it comes to games this week to splurge those gold coins on, well, it’s a bit sparse. There’s a Doraemon-themed Picross game stepping up as the main event, a new Gal Guardians game from PQube, and a revival of the 1995 PC adventure, I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, thanks to Nightdive. My only brush with it was a demo that stubbornly refused to work on my ancient PC.
As this fiscal quarter comes to a close, a flood of releases means I’ve only been able to squeeze in a mere hour and a half with Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive since it dropped. At this rate, finishing before the universe meets its end might be a tall order. Appreciate it, guys.
