Yes, there are things coming out this week that aren't Super Mario Odyssey.
There's a 20 ton elephant (or maybe a gorilla?) in the room this week with the second to last game from last year's Switch debut video. Yes, Mario Odyssey is finally coming, and you can actually preload it now to beat the crowds. Daan's review is up right now, so go check it out.
The poor suckers releasing alongside Odyssey include Just Dance 2018, which itself has some Mario content in it. And although it's beyond the scope of the item technically, it's also coming out on the WII. There's also Nights of Azure as Tuesday was surprisingly busy, the unique platformer Poi: Explorer's Edition, and The Mummy Remastered for fans of the spoopy. In retro news, we have Mutation Nation from Hamster... and the aforementioned Wii game. Review corner: Mummy (Neal), Nights of Azure 2 (Zach), Fire Emblem Warriors (yours truly, from last week)
Europe has a similar lineup, but also has a big Halloween sale that picks up the likes of Disgaea 5. Japan's biggest deal, aside from technically being the first place in the world to get Odyssey, is a three play Sonic Forces demo that gotta go fast (it kicks you to a title screen after one minute).
