A week that is two parts sweet and about 30 parts sour.
Things we missed last week: Yes yes yes, Hamster brought Legion to the Archives! Uwee hee hee!
Obviously I've written enough about the major (for a certain class of...) retail release of the week in Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling, though a couple of other things are standing out. We have the crossover nobody knew they wanted until last week of Dig Dug and Picross in the new Picross S game (demo available as normal), superhero turn-based strategy title Capes, and the latest from Inti Creates in the new action title Umbraclaw. Presumably this one has met all the requisite copyright and trademark checks.
