I had a whole In Memoriam prepped and everything then one of the major releases apparently fell out of a timewarp from 1997.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/66951/nintendo-downloads-april-25-2024
Things we missed last week: Namco puzzle game Emeraldia was the Archives release, while an out-of-nowhere Indie World brought four shadowdrops with it: stitch. and Sticky Business were in the English show, while (as discussed on the latest episode of RFN) puzzle adventure Exit 8 and seafaring strategy sim Sagres dropped after showing up in the Japanese-language Indie World.
There was a clear favorite among the week's somewhat large crop of pre-Golden Week releases, especially after its director and lead creative died a few months back, until Jordan's review dropped and it sure seems like they fumbled the bag. Or just brought the one from 1997, I dunno. Anyway, since that leaves us in a position where the most sus RPG of the week ISN'T the newest product of Akitoshi Kawazu's collection of blackmail, we'll give the honors to the impressive looking Tales of Kenzera: Zau even if we only know one region's price for it as of press time. For a Winter Games Fest debut, this actually looks good.
Other items of note: Level-5's condition is upgraded to "alive" with the first ever international launch of their follow-up to Little Battlers eXperience in Megaton Musashi, Another Crab's Treasure reminds us that mayonnaise is only a musical instrument for the purpose of Pokemon Nuzlocke runs, we might have a second-ever rerelease of Lynx games after Atari 50 in a collection of Epyx handheld games, and we have the intersection of two of NWR's longest running gags as Anime World Report and Mario Party Monthly present Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board (aka that thing you glossed over in the last Partner Showcase).
