If you’re curious about the baseball life of High on Life’s brainchild, hunt for "Justin Roiland minors." Something I stumbled on.
Now, what did we not catch last week? Super Xevious popped up in the Archives. Didn’t see that coming.
Anyway, getting back on track — wait, where was I? Right, there’s this big chatter that the top game for the Switch 2, like four weeks out, is in Japan with a reboot of Tokimeki Memorial. But then again, if it gets a feature in the Switch 1 Direct, all bets are off. So, everyone’s buzzing about High on Life this week, led by the same guy who was steering the Rick and Morty ship until, well, let’s just say his pants couldn’t stay zipped.
And if you’re exploring lesser thrills, Spiritfall is dropping on Friday. Oh, and the EggConsole is bumping prices moving to the PC-98 family with Rune Worth—for anyone not fluent in Japanese, good luck, seriously. Over in Europe, pre-orders for Switch 2 games are up in the eShop, with Hitman: World of Assassination leading the pack. Go figure.
