Golden Week means the shadowdrop approvals from the mothership should be kept to a minimum, at least.
If there’s two things Golden Week means to me since I don’t live in Japan, it’s “Nintendo’s fiscal year earnings are delayed” and “not a lot of releases”. The big one is Skate City, as SkaterXL increasingly looks like vapourware on Switch and we still have a few months before the Hawk returns to Nintendo platforms. Other things of note: Raiden IV gets a kickin’ soundtrack on Switch in the shooter genre, and strategy title The Colonists is also due.
Fun story about Save Me Mr. Tako: We originally reviewed this in 2018, but that’s when it was published by Nicalis – the version coming out on Wednesday is following its rescue by Limited Run Games. And unless suddently-delayed archaeology dating sims are your bag, that’s pretty much it…
…until we head to Japan and find a game that involves trying to escape federal prison. Sadly, it was not tagged under “Educational” on the Nintendo website.
