Wow, so here’s something wild from the world of Nintendo. Seriously, I feel like the BBC might’ve goofed just a bit. I mean, did they actually say you can shove an old NES cartridge into a Super Nintendo? Not sure where they got that idea from, but, hey, we all have our off days, right?
Anyway, big thing this week—everyone’s buzzing about Donkey Kong Bananza. Trust me, it’s going to be all over gaming mags soon. But let’s dig into the weirder stuff, shall we? There’s this funky Pac-Man exploration platformer. Yeah, I know, sounds a bit out there, but the newsroom swears it’s as epic as Montreal in Shadow Labyrinth. Maybe they’re right, maybe not. And that city builder on a giant creature’s back? The Wandering Village—who thinks this up?
Oh, and did you catch the new ArcSys fighter? HunterxHunter NenxImpact or something. Dragon Ball FighterZ folks are behind it, so… fingers crossed? Plus, they’ve got this Neverwinter Nights 2 port coming. Nostalgia trip for sure.
Quick sidebar—anyone else hear about this new Golden Tee games collection? But no trackball? How do they even? Got me thinking about playing in the arcade back in the day. Anyway, God Wars has a new publisher. Seems like the old games are getting a makeover or something.
Let’s talk about what slipped past while we weren’t looking—like an Australian Rules football game quietly dropping. No licenses though, so forget those dream matchups. Still, cool to see it making a global appearance.
Here’s a bizarre one—Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge. Price is all over the place. Eight bucks in the US, seventy-nine in Canada? Maybe it’s got extra syrup or something. Who knows?
North America:
So, if you’re buying games, here’s what’s up. Donkey Kong Bananza’s at a nice $69.99 in the US (ouch, ninety-nine in Canada—why so harsh, exchange rate?). Pac-Man is dropping Friday. Switch folk, something for everyone here—HunterxHunter, Bustafellows, even a shot at being a Gym Manager. Imagine the chaos, or maybe don’t.
Europe:
Over in Europe, more of the same goodness. Maybe a tad cheaper in Euros, which is a win. Just me, or do video game prices make you double-take sometimes? Anyway, never been so tempted to just move across the pond for the savings.
Japan:
Now, Japan’s got their own lineup, obviously. DistortedCode sounds intense. Then there’s your typical assortment—something for everyone, right?
So, long story short—lots to play, loads to miss, and probably too much to buy. Better start saving up—unless you’re in Canada, then maybe start digging under couch cushions.
