I've only been pimping this week's biggest release for longer than I've been writing here.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/47995/nintendo-downloads-august-16-2018

Appropriate for what happens to me on Wednesday, the big release of the week is something I preloaded several weeks ago. Cosmic Star Heroine, the two-man RPG with a soundtrack in that rare air of Xenoblade, finally comes home on Switch after I've banged on about it for five years and even interviewed Robert Boyd on the telethon. In 2014.

Other big hits include Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, the ultimate "eight players, one copy" party game, action title Next Up Hero, and State of Mind (a full retail release). There are two Archives this week: Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers and the never-before released on consoles Nitro Ball.

Japan appears to be celebrating the Obon holiday, so we may not even get Fatal Fury. As of press time, there's NOTHING showing a release date between the 9th and 23rd on the eShop.
