Last week kind of slipped by with a few hidden gems like the arcade take on Mystery Tower tucked away in the Archives.
Today’s a bit of a milestone for me. It’s been ten years since I both moved into my current apartment and took up Neal’s offer to start writing for NWR. Given such an occasion, I couldn’t help but wonder if we’d see something like a Chrono Trigger re-release today. Or maybe the preload for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition would hit the scene—wait, that one’s slated for Thursday. Maybe a new iteration of MLB 2025 featuring the Toronto Blue Jays playing like the legendary 1927 Yankees? That’s set for early access this Friday, but let’s be real—the Jays don’t exactly show the spark this time around. So, what’s catching our eye this week?
Honestly, not much piques my interest. There’s a new adventure game, On Your Tail, but it’s only listed in Europe, leaving me unsure about its availability elsewhere. A slew of comic apps are coming to Japan, too. Perhaps Fate: Reawakened might capture the attention of anyone still holding out hope for news about Silksong.
North America
Here’s what’s popping up this week:
- Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Familia Myth: Full Land of Water and Light – $49.99 USD / $64.99 CAD
A wave of releases follows throughout the week:
- Fate: Reawakened ($24.99 USD / $31.99 CAD): rolls out Wednesday

One major highlight this week is the Mar10 celebration, where Mario games get a special spotlight with discounts reaching up to 75% off, particularly for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. It’s all part of the festivities running until the 17th. Handy resources like PSPrices and DekuDeals can help you snag these bargains.
