The baseball might be wild, but the Switch releases are steady.

Wait... is this an actual light week?

So far, it is. The big one for me is Yu-No: a Spike Chunsoft visual novel with an exceedingly long subtitle and a lot of history behind it... or maybe Neo Cab, a modern take on the VN. Or maybe One Night Stand, which Joe was really into at E3. Either way, it's a good week for reading.

Every last one of them. I'm just not sure which one to play this week: I know the good doctor would suggest Dragon Quest XI S, but there's also the first three games where my only exposure to them has been academic.

Anything else on your plate this week?
