Wait, a Trails series we can get in on the ground floor on?
Things we missed last week: Well, we predicted the Direct which added NSO subscription incentive F-Zero 99, strategy title Wartales, racing sequel Horizon Chase 2, and rhythm shitpost Trombone Champ. The Archives title, added in the educational section of every prison ever, is Jail Break from Konami.
I spent most of the last week getting my tabletop on in Gloomhaven, but for my money the big game of the week is the first game of a new Legend of Heroes series in The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails if only because it won't require me to win the national lottery in order to play it before the sequel comes out. The highest price tag of the week goes to Mortal Kombat 1, which is just as broken as fellow $70 game Tears of the Kingdom, but with MK1 everyone actually sees it.
Name of the week honors goes to Mon-Yu, or as it's officially called... deep breath "Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons And Armor. You May Be Defeated, But Don’t Give Up. Become Stronger. I Believe There Will Be A Day When The Heroes Defeat The Devil King". And the Japanese name is longer. Smaller titles on the dock include a revival of... Operation Wolf? oooook.... alongside Days of Doom from Atari and the tasteful You Suck At Parking.
