Oh man, where do we even start this week? I mean, the big thing everyone’s chirping about is this Drag x Drive trial or something for the Switch 2, but hey, spoiler alert, right? Not that I was trying to ruin the surprise or anything, but whoops.
So let’s talk about what’s actually rolling through. It’s like, nothing happening, but then somehow, way too much happening. Gradius Origins is back, remember that one from the March Switch 1 Direct? Yeah, same place, same laser-blasting action, taking down some NES Pro Wrestling boss. And hey, if lasers aren’t your jam, there’s a House of the Dead 2 remake — but seriously, watch out for Forever Entertainment. I don’t know, just feels like a warning is needed. Or you can totally bail on all that and dive into some anime vibes with Demon Slayer and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Choices, huh?
Smaller snippets for the week: Allegoria — seriously, why’s it got this Pokemon RBY vibe but somehow isn’t getting flagged for copyright? Magic, possibly. And Team17 is throwing Ritual of Raven out there too.
Oh, last week’s action? Completely almost missed that Partner Showcase, where they had Chilling By The Fire. Also, fun times, the saga reveals saga continues. Square Enix, maybe ease off a bit, yeah? Sigh. Plus, some 3DS Harvest Moons are now living their best lives on Switch, and Taito’s “Field Day” got dragged out of the archive. Wild.
Is the EggConsole jungle game doable without speaking Japanese? Seems like it! It’s basically an action RPG — more action, less chat, and a sprinkle of patience. Keep your fingers crossed you don’t get lost when text decides to take over.

Honestly, it’s another week of chaos, choices, and Switch fun. Hope you find something that calls your name — or just randomly pick and get surprised. After all, surprises seem to be the flavor of the week!
