Switch 2? What? No, wait, here’s something different. Drag x Drive trial snagged the spotlight this week. Didn’t mean to spoil it for ya!
Here’s the deal: the week’s like a bizarre mix of too chill and way too wild for August’s kick-off. Leading the chaos, we’ve got Gradius Origins (remember that Switch 1 Direct in March? Yeah, that one). Lasers! Blasting through NES Pro Wrestling baddies. Totally different vibe: The House of the Dead 2 remake (watch out, Forever Entertainment alert!). Meanwhile, anime fans can dive into Demon Slayer or Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Choices, choices.
Oh, and get this: The Edge of Allegoria has that old-school Pokemon RBY vibe but in HD! But hold up, it’s not even the wildest copyright dance this week. Ritual of Raven from Team17’s got you sorted there.
Did we miss anything? Yeah, just a whole Partner Showcase! Cozy fireside chats and that eternal saga tease. Looking at you, Square Enix. New on Switch: some vintage 3DS Harvest Moons. Oh, and Taito’s "Field Day" made it into the Archives. Classic.
Wondering if you can dig into EGGCONSOLE games sans Japanese? Seems doable. It’s more action RPG—wordy bits might trip you up, though.
North America Lineup:
Demon Slayer’s second act lands Tuesday at $59.99. Gradius Origins shoots for $39.99. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia reappears Wednesday for $29.99. The House of the Dead 2 goes for $24.99. Fitness goes heroic at the same buck.
