And now, a slopping forecast from Environment Canada at 0200 UTC on 19 May: a 90% chance of Roblox derivatives and excessive Midjourney in simulation areas.

This week is notable largely for the release of Nintendo's first game of the "digital is cheaper" era in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which I hope is the same book Goombella uses to call the AI obsessed what they are. There's also Tales of Arise from Bamco, a couple of multiplatform games in Coffee Talk Tokyo and R-Type Dimensions III, and... ALLEGEDLY, a good Bubsy game. Has Fabraz actually turned chicken*expletive deleted* into chicken salad? We'll find out once Willem gets home from BitSummit.

For Switch OG, we have Farming Simulator 26 in a rare example of an artisanally, hand crafted simulator (as opposed to the double-digit number of AI generated ones).

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: The Archives doubleheader was Mr. Do for the Archives and... do we need to start giving the "is this game playable in English" test? Because the Console Archives added PS1-era strategy RPG Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It's a scrolling shooter, so keep out of the instructions and you're set.
