Curl up with a hot fudge and caramel pizza, and accept that yes, this IS a Jojo reference.
Things we missed last week: Super Volleyball in the archives.
It’s amazing that as soon as the calendar changes to September, the games start spewing like a fire hose. For my money, which will be spent happily this weekend, but mostly on various 3DS DLC stores (assuming you’ve linked your Nintendo Network and Switch eShop accounts, you can add funds here as cards won’t work on the game anymore). system) the big game of the week is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (review by Neal here). Though I’d be remiss not to mention a few other games that sadly don’t come with pizza coupons: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, as Sony State of Play will fully pay for itself in the next four weeks, the third classic from NIS. collection, and an RPG based on the manga/anime Made in Abyss which given its M and Z ratings in NA and Japan respectively, I didn’t realize it was a seinen to show.
Smaller titles that might be worth checking out this week: Indie World veteran Ooblets, a LEGO pet fighter (think Smash) that originated on Apple Arcade, 3D platformer Tinykin, and the wholesome Here Comes Niko. Although most of us will probably be charged for Splatoon 3 this week for the 10% refund, and I’ll start my call for some sort of electoral reform at Splatfest or else find a group of 3 to get into the second half with.
