Yes, the image is aimed at amusing me and one of our regulars. No, I will not apologize, especially given the alternative.

It hardly seems like this week is real, what with the appearance for all the world that Level-5's Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is coming out after an uncountable number of delays, several platform changes including apparently a Switch 2 edition, and the possibility that several acres of rainforest were burned down as a result of its production. In the event it IS delayed further, possibly due to them turfing Keiji Inafune, there's a remaster of former Vita game Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Battle Destiny and also a remaster of Onimusha 2.
The smaller front sees the console (including Switch) debut of Cookie Clicker - not making that up - and a pair of indie hit sequels in Monster Train 2 (roguelike deckbuilder: check) and a new Duck Detective game. Ys: Memories of Celceta is also available in Japan, though that might come west via... somebody in the next few months.
THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: A game based on the Kaiju Big Battel (sic) property, and an Archives title called "Nebulasray" (Nebula's Ray) that due to either licensing or programming costs doubles the regular Archives price.
IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE WITH NO JAPANESE KNOWLEDGE: It would appear so, especially as Hydlide II is already pretty much known.
