This nearly ended up late because I haven't been wrecked this hard by Fiona since high school.

Things we missed last week: In addition to Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, we got shadowdrops on Midnight Fight Express, Serial Cleaners, Wylde Flowers, and Archives title The Return of Ishtar (the sequel to The Tower of Druaga).

Was Xenoblade 3's halo effect enough to carry the day?

A relatively quiet month for the Switch and the release of a series that has skipped Nintendo consoles for a decade led to a slight sales slump for Nintendo in the US, according to the latest NPD Group sales survey.

Data is from July 31 - August 26, based on dollars unless noted otherwise, publishers can contribute digital data but Nintendo does not.

Memo to Idea Factory International and Aksys: NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

Things we missed last week: Festivus (aka a Nintendo Direct) WAS declared, with three shadowdrops (Easy Come, Easy Golf/Various Daylife/Radiant Silvergun) among the number. For reasons still unclear, the last one was yanked from the eShop immediately in North America... hopefully just a ratings board snafu that can be fixed quickly, especially since it's in Europe and Japan still.

Taking the one GOOD part of Super Mario Sunshine.

Great games can come from unexpected concepts, and so it is with the newest title from the developers of Velocity2x.

FuturLabs have announced that PowerWash Simulator, which launched in July on PC and Xbox consoles, will come to Switch "soon". As the name implies, it involves cleaning dirt off of houses with a power washer in the town of Muckingham.

So you know when to dodge SaGa or stampede the eShop for the Neo The World Ends With You tracks.

Thanks to the eShop, we have estimates for most of the DLC for the recently-announced Theatrhythm Final Bar Line - this information may change before launch, but as a Digital Deluxe Edition and Premium Digital Deluxe Edition are available for $30 and $50 US over the main price, it should be examined.

Study the combat and you too may get a Pure Platinum.

A new trailer focused on gameplay has been released for Bayonetta 3 following a Nintendo Direct tease.

The nearly eight minute long trailer - presumably cut from the Direct for time - outlines the core Bayonetta gameplay including details on both the existing systems and new Bayonetta 3-specific items.
