Contains trace amounts of mea culpa
I honestly didn't think it was possible, but it's actually happening. The big game of the week is Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the last first party retail class title on Switch for the first insane calendar year for the console. If you haven't read John's review yet or checked out the video, he kinda liked it.

An unsurprising but welcome announcement.
Although Tokyo is going to get wrecked again in the Shin Megami Tensei universe, the world will witness the destruction.
Nintendo and Atlus posted a new trailer for the title today which confirmed the game would release outside Japan. No release timeframe was given, and Atlus is still reporting "TBD", nor do we know if there will be a delay between Japan's release and the rest of the world.

The Switch game onslaught doesn't even take the holidays off, it seems.
Another week, another sixteen games for the Switch for your eShopping pleasure. The bigger games of the bunch are still indie - no Bethesda/2K/Nintendo this week. The ones that have my personal attention are Superbeat: XONiC, which I've been playing for a review, and Adult Swim Games's debut on the Switch, Battle Chef Brigade which we loved this week.

There's a dragon capable of destroying everything in sight, and I don't think Dovakhim can stop Garchomp.
It's 3rd Party Week on Switch, with more games out on store shelves this week alone than were on the system at launch. There's the epic adventure of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the gritty crime drama of L. A. Noire and the Batman, and some more Lego for your perusal. The "indies on card" crowd is also well represented with Ittle Dew 2+ and RIME. But the biggest sellers of the week are in the multiplayer realm.
