The only good thing about last year's North American release count is that none of those 2,431 games had Waluigi.

Things we missed last week: Nichibutsu 1986 scrolling brawler Mighty Guy in the Archives.
Apart from the demo for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and the epilogue update for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC, this is a light week on the new release front. Third person action/adventure hybrid Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow and shooter (scrolling, not Doom clone) Shinorubi look to be the most intriguing releases, but we're barely into the 20s for North American release count heading into the first full week of the year. Of course, that's going to change dramatically by the end of the week.
Regarding sales, a note to watch for: Europe is running a New Year's sale as of last Thursday and it MIGHT start in North America this week or next, but since Nintendo jumped into the annual pre-Christmas sales in North America they may not want to double dip. We'll see.
