See if you can spot the reasons why the author has maxed his eShop wallet ahead of this week.
Amazing that in a week where I'm probably going to clear a wide swath of my wishlist (whether in terms of money or number of games coming off it), the biggest release is free. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit will be a free download on the eShop starting Friday, though it's not going to work without the go-kart anyway. My big chunk aside from that will be the pair of Robotics;Notes visual novels, with perhaps a side of penguin-based platforming in the Prinny duo and some cyberpunk RPG with Cloudpunk.
The latest rendition of the Jackbox Party Packs headlines a loaded download lineup, however. Hardcore Mecha (which is exactly what it says on the tin), Indie World veteran Roki, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!, the director's cut of Shantae: Risky's Revenge (and yes, Zach will have a review for that this week), and Space Crew are all vying for those coveted wishlist spots. There's even a game from former Radio Free Nintendo host Nathan Fouts and Mommy's Best Games in Shoot 1UP DX (grappling coming soon, maybe?) and a remake of the first Postal game from before it went to the nuthouse.
And to top it all off, Overwatch has a free trial this week for Nintendo Switch Online. Screw money, I wish I had more TIME.
