Last week kind of slipped by while no one was looking. Something flew under the radar: a little gem known as the arcade version of Mystery Tower, landing neatly in the Archives.
Today, I find myself at a fascinating crossroads. It’s exactly ten years since I made the leap to NWR, thanks to Neal’s offer, and settled into the apartment I now call home. You’d think to mark such an occasion we’d have something grand, like a fresh re-release of Chrono Trigger, or maybe the preload for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Alas, that one’s pegged for Thursday. How about something like MLB 2025 featuring the Toronto Blue Jays playing like the legendary 1927 Yankees? No such luck; even though the early access hits Friday, the Jays just aren’t pulling any Babe Ruth moments this time around. So what’s actually on the docket for me?
Frankly, there’s not much tickling my fancy amidst this week’s gaming releases. Although, there’s this intriguing adventure game, On Your Tail, but it’s stewing in its European exclusivity. Fingers crossed it makes a stateside debut soon. There’s also a smattering of comic apps fresh out the gate in Japan. Maybe Fate: Reawakened will stir the heartstrings of all of you still holding out for Silksong.
### North America

As usual, March brings a shower of Mario game discounts, notably shaving 75% off NBA 2024 and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope until the 17th—a nice salute to Mario Day.
