And down the stretch we come with a shovel.

For Shovelry, cries the puzzle-game playing part of my heart, as Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon sews up the "last major release of the year" slot barring any late shadowdrop shenanigans. Neal has already pulled rank to get the code, so check a look at his review. There's also a historic game this week, as Westone's Clockwork Aquario finally comes out in North America - a game that began development in 1991, or to put it in perspective, two years before my current roommate was born.

Other titles of note this week: The "over US retail" alarm goes off for Hashihime of the Old Book Town (preorder discount and demo available), which is a rare example of a romance game with nothing but male characters (ie: a BL game) and a couple of indie show reps in Omno and One Hand Clapping. And before you freak out about a piece of infamous Wii U kusoge coming back, this version of The Letter does not appear to be an asset flip and claims a script of 200,000+ words for a visual novel. (Whether that should be seen as a threat...) Finally for North America, we actually have a Wii U release. No, I don't know why either.

Japan gets a bunch of novels and the Deathsmiles series of scrolling shooters.
