I'm thankful for a trip to Shibuya, dood.
Hope you like RPGs, because this week's biggest releases are both candidates for a trip down the pub. The World Ends With You: Final Remix - review for that should be up before you go to bed Thursday in NA - and Disgaea 1 Complete both represent an average of 110 hours of gameplay, though most of that is from the game with the exploding penguins. There's also a 3DS release of some import, as Luigi's Mansion spooks up the shop on Friday.
The eShop sees a heavy selection of games that are new to me. Mark of the Ninja Remastered, Chasm, Child of Light, and The Swindle (plus a later-announced Guacamelee) are all headed from other consoles, while Kairosoft brings their mobile stylings to the eShop unless your country celebrates Thanksgiving at the reasonable time of today. (One is quite salty about Game Dev Story, specifically). The usual retro suspects haven't made their move yet, but three new titles do hit the NES subscription this week. Hamster is releasing 3 Count Bout this week for the Archives - 10/10/18
A game also coming to the West, though without a price, is the big game of the week for Japan: the newest project from Deadly Premonition and D4 master Swery65. The Missing: JJ MacField and the Island of Memories marks Swery's debut on Nintendo platforms - right, Zach?
