There's only two legit awards being handed out this week and it's Switch eShop Kusoge of the Year and *radio edit* of the Year. Congratulations to Funko Fusion and Funko for taking down itch.io.

Things we missed last week: It was good and bad in equal measure as North America went +23, as The Thing Remastered dropped from NightDive and City Bomber from Konami was the Archives release. Unfortunately, that was balanced out by Antonblast's Switch port coming in so hot due to Helene and Milton that we don't know if it's coming out this year, and Funko Fusion actually released so no joy there.

This week's big deal is Winter Games Fest (dba "The Game Awards") dropping what is likely to be a whole -1 Switch announcements during the night (we can't even expect five seconds of glory in Best Family Game since Astrobot's there), so what do Switch owners get? Well, the big price release this week is Fairy Tail 2 (based on the end of the manga so, uh, spoilers), though I'll give the honour to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind as we try to send Rita to Hel once again. (At least the actress is familiar.) There's a... ugh... Aspyr port of Legacy of Kain I and II which is not how we want that to come back, and a new Taito Milestones release that I believe includes Bubble Bobble.

In the mid-range and below, we get the acclaimed-on-PC Chernobylite, a long-awaited cartoon-art racer published by Playtonic in VIctory Heat Rally, and that "Riki" collection from Japan a couple of weeks ago comes west. If you have Japanese credits, you can also pick up a pair of barrels of man's ultimate weapon with a new Cho Aniki compilation (it's the first two games in the series, and it's pricey, but...) Lastly in the questionable vein: The EggConsole brings The Legend of Heroes II which looks to be unplayable without extensive Japanese knowledge so I'm out barring decorative purchase, a posterior based fighting game is coming, and there's at least two things that should result in litigation from the most litigious entertainment companies on Arceus's green Earth, Nintendo and Disney. In that order.
