As tempting as it is to do a mock Christmas carol, the Switch eShop doesn't deserve me giving a damn enough to do a proper parody.

In honor of Festivus (for which I am doubtful for participation in the Feats of Strength due to a recurring foot issue), I got plenty of grievances this week and you're gonna hear them. Most of them are in Japan, which between Switch 2 and Switch broke the single-week release record last week (80) thanks to a flood of late crap that looks to be continuing into this week: it involved adding more Japan-only games to the database on Sunday than there are releases outside of it this week.

In terms of what's actually happening this week for the West, we have a Switch 2 version of Factorio whose upgrade made me realize the Switch got it three years ago, a somewhat important Archives release that traditionally doesn't get an eShop listing until day of, and more bundles for the usual suspects than should be legal. That said, happy holidays, and we'll reconvene next week for the final 2025 column (thank god this year's almost over) before my semi-traditional spleen venting on New Year's Day.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: The Outfoxies was the Archives release, TMNT: Splintered Fate Switch 2 and Synth Riders were announced but got late eShop pages, and a sequel to Use Your Words (2016/17) shadowdropped.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: Action puzzle game Carbuncle Pi appears possible, in a minor Festivus miracle.
