A cute platformer, the most openly gay RPG in platform history and a train game walk into a tire fire...
Things we missed last week: In a blissfully small week for shadowdrops (+6 in NA), Vs. Battle City was the Archives release.
This is another very top heavy week, though not in the "not for good boys or girls" sense. The original big release of the week was The Plucky Squire, the first product of a new dev team that includes the designer of half of the latest Pokemon Go additions and the founder of the studio what brought us Fludiity, only for a curveball to come into the eShop today with a game described as "the gayest RPG ever made", Christina Love's Get in the Car, Loser!. Which is guaranteed to upset at least one moral guardian. Who I would like to invite to sit on a cactus and rotate.
Other items of note on the good end potentially: A Japanese rail sim that is on DEEP pre-launch discount - I normally list the regular price but this is 70% off until launch so it's a $20 US flier - a couple of games from this year's parade of presentations with Keylocker (musical RPG) and "BZZZZT" (platformer sizzle-reeled in April's Indie World), and a game that is one "Metroidvania" away from me censoring the entire title.
