We should be celebrating Unicorn Overlord this week, instead we get the absolute nadir of Switch shovelware.
Things we missed last week: The Archives title was called War of Aero, while we also got another more obscure Wii U rescue with Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. As introduced by the now retired Charles Martinet.
Ordinarily, this week would be cause for celebration with the release of James Jones 2024-27 GOTY Unicorn Overlord (what IF the team what brought you 13 Sentinels made an Ogre Battle. demo available now with carryover), or indie hit Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. However, into every life a little kusoge must fall, and so it goes this week as the long-threatened and even released physically already remastered version of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. And as per hacker alias Seafoam Gaming on our Discord, there's already reproducible game breaking bugs. As if you couldn't caveat even harder, emptor.
A couple of the more obscure games of the week are the Top Racer Collection - "Top Racer" being the Japanese name of Top Gear, which was localized by current maker of fee-to-pay RPGs Kemco - as well as a game inspired by r/wallstreetbets and proof that Games Workshop will license Warhammer 40,000 to anyone with a pulse because there's a RedDeer published one this week. Meanwhile, Japan gets to box for fitness with *checks* Hatsune Miku.
...wait, WHAT?
