It's a good week to be a remake.
Anything new and exciting this week?
Not so much new, but definitely exciting. We've got the most important re-release of the week in Tales of Vesperia Remaster, plus the re-release of New Super Mario U and Bowser's Inside Story (with added juice). Hell, OutRun's coming out from Sega this week, so that makes it a good one by default.
So it's nothing but old stuff.
Aside from Hive Jump, that's actually it for the re-releases. The new games include 13AM Games's first post-Runbow title in Double Cross, a tragic story in Bury Me My Love, and Snowboarding: The Next Phase which has some former developers of not-#Skate4.
I thought you said Japan was getting back to normal after New Year's.
Eh, there's still some shadowdrops inevitably, but they get off to a slower start than we do.
