"To Brian Roberts, CEO of Comcast: Your greed has crippled communication and media in the United States. We will steal your desires without delay. - The Blackpool CC"

Things we missed last week: Toy Pop (Namco) in the Archives and a late European launch for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival.

After a weekend that we will hopefully never have to deal with again, it's time for one of the biggest retail launch weeks of the year. And though a sequel to the only good Borderlands game and a Mario + Rabbids sequel would normally fight for game of the week honors, this week's headliner has been determined since either April of 2017 or June 28, take your pick. Persona 5 Royal is finally on Switch, and there was much rejoicing as we all go to get our Decarabia on. (We will have reviews for both Royal and Mario + Rabbids.. well, can't use THAT gag anymore, so let's just go with Soon (tm).)

In the download space, it's already tracking for a half-century release count with the major items in that space being the new Jackbox (now with even more Fibbage and a single player game), or kaiju battling RPG Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher - though a certain forum group would probably have my rear if I didn't mention the release of Them's Fightin' Herds. Also, there's a sidescrolling Warhammer run and gun... because Games Workshop will license that for ANYTHING.
