Last week, we overlooked the arrival of Vs Mystery Tower, the arcade spin-off of the Famicom classic Mystery Tower, now enchanting players again in arcades. This week is a personal milestone for me, marking ten years since I settled into my current apartment and began my writing journey with NWR thanks to Neal’s offer. What dream announcements could this week bring? Perhaps a re-release of the beloved Chrono Trigger or the much-anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition preload—although that’s set for Thursday. I’d even take a special MLB 2025 version where my Toronto Blue Jays rival the legendary ’27 Yankees! But alas, we’ll have to wait until Friday for that, and rumor has it the Jays might disappoint.
Instead, as I scroll through this week’s game drop, the pickings feel slim. The lone stand-out is the adventure game On Your Tail, but it’s only showing in Europe for now, leaving us to wonder if it’ll reach wider shores. And if you’ve been hanging on for Silksong, maybe Fate: Reawakened will scratch that itch for you.
