Reminder: Dark Souls is best enjoyed in airplane mode, because people suck.

So the stores will be well stocked with Switch software this week, with North America getting no less than nine different games with physical versions. The top dogs of the week are the Rairdin doubleheader of Dark Souls Remastered and Starlink: Battle of Atlas, with Warriors Orochi 4 and LEGO DC Super Villains providing two different takes on repetitive actions. (Yes, I just compared The Joker to Lu Bu.) Syberia 3 also rounds out that trilogy of European adventure.

The download space is where my money's headed this week, though. Valkyria Chronicles - with a discount for VC4 digital owners - and The Jackbox Party Pack 5 featuring actual You Don't Know Jack are the headliners in the download space, along with NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 which aims to bring virtual currency to the streets. As usual, the Archives haven't been announced yet. UPDATE October 17: Strikers 1945+ and Ninja Kid II have both been revealed.

Japan's lineup is similar this week, with just the one Japan-only visual novel release and an Archives title from Zerodiv.
