Things we missed last week: It was a good week for classic shooters, with Strike Gunner in the Archives and the Telenet Shooting Collection getting localized.

A couple of years ago, the last week of the quarter had 50 releases and ended up with a record-at-the-time 60. This week's opening bid in North America? 52. Some long awaited games will be showing up in stores: the first EA Sports soccer/futbol game that isn't branded with the literal Mafia, the oft-delayed Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong, and potentially the best Harvest Moon farming sim since the split in the mid 2010s. They're joined by the Anime World Report doubleheader of a game based on the Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai anime and a Fate-based action RPG (musou?) set in the 17th century.

The download space is headlined by an even-longer awaited indie title as we finally close the book on the August 2018 Nindie Showcase show with Mineko's Night Market, as well as a remake of the late 1990s RPG Gothic and life sim Paleo Pines. And no, Cocoon is NOT based on the vehicle for diabeetus specialist Wilford Brimley, despite coming from a literal film studio in Annapurna. It does come from one of the creative leads on Limbo and Inside, though.
