Our long international nightmare is over.

The theory that everything got out of the way of Splatoon 2 last week is definitely confirmed by this week's Switch lineup, which runs another six games deep. And there's a lot of multiplayer fun to be had with Namco Museum (including Pac-Man Vs. for the platonic ideal of Gamecube->GBA connectivity)... Read more...

It's the inevitable return of the kid and squid dichotomy.

In terms of number of games, it's a light week (prior to Europe's PR, Japan has the lead with seven games just on Switch). But like was speculated the last couple of weeks, they had quantity to get away from Splatoon 2. Possibly the biggest game to hit Switch since day 1 and Breath of the Wild, I would wish good luck to anyone trying to buy a Switch this week. Especially in Japan.

There's also the odd looking De Mambo, and a puzzle game that bears a more-than-striking resemblance to Threes.
