I wanted to use this part to crow about slaying a dragon, but the Leafs blew it (as usual, sorry David).

Hey, you're late again.
Blame multiple failed attempts at dragon slaying. Speaking of, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the week's headliners, and I reviewed that already. There's also SteamWorld Quest (of which Jordan has a review), the ridiculously large Mortal Kombat 11, Boxboy X Boxgirl... it's a huge week.
Anything smaller that shouldn't be ignored?
Super Blood Hockey sounds like a rollicking good time, there's a new Picross, and Dig Dog (not to be confused with Ding Dong XL) is a great story; the developer made the game with voice commands, an infrared camera, and a hat with a reflector to compensate for a repetitive stress injury. It'll be one of Neal's 19,000 reviews this week.
And why is Japan so busy?
The same reason Nintendo reports quarterly earnings tomorrow: this is more like a Platinum Week instead of Golden Week because to celebrate a new emperor the normal holiday is getting pulled to nearly two weeks.
