If Nintendo wants to give me a birthday present in two weeks from Thursday, they could stop approving games for a while.
Things we missed last week: As threatened, One Piece Odyssey did drop in all territories, as well as forgetting that The New Denpa Men would confirm that Genius Sonority is the Vince Russo of RPG developers, and F1 Manager 24 drove in but was DQed for being underweight. The Archives had a Vs Series machine in The Adventure of Valkyrie: The Legend of the Key of Time.
My knees are still a little worn down from this past weekend’s Lucas Ario fun, so this week will be brief: the headliner is the humorous follow-up to Untitled Goose Game from Panic in Thank Goodness You’re Here (review forthcoming), because the alternative is a sus remake from one of the following – Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (from Aspyr, can’t wait to see how they rip people off this time), Tomba! (from Limited Run Games – you know, the Gex and Bubsy crowd), or Pinball Quest (City Connection reaches into their old NES libraries). World of Goo 2 should be pulling a One Piece, since pricing’s only listed for Japan as of press time.
