For the second week in a row we have a cross-gen game from a 3rd party with no apparent upgrade path beyond "full price, sucka" - Raidou Remastered last week, now Tamagotchi Plaza. Except Raidou was the same price on both, and though Switch 2 pricing isn't confirmed for Plaza outside Japan, it's still markedly more expensive for Switch 2 there, so... maybe?

Others hitting this week include Front Mission 3, the Locomoto game you might have seen in one of the last Directs, and we'll have reviews of Ruffy and the Riverside and Against the Storm later this week. But we're coming into the week with more than 40+ games on Switch 1 still and we probably won't see a slowdown until the calendar turns over to 2026.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Konami's early tank game Strategy X was the Archives game, and the Gex Trilogy was hidden on the Switch 2 eShop due to being completely unplayable - which doesn't explain why it's still listed on Switch 1.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE WITHOUT JAPANESE: Absolutely not, its increased price is due to the fact that it's an entire trilogy but the main game text is still in Japanese and it's a comedy RPG series.
