You know, it’s starting to feel like my ties with the eShop are as icy as a frosty treat from Wendy’s, thanks to the dwindling stash of gold coins and my glacial journey through Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Last week slipped by with little fanfare, except for Senkyu, a neat Match 3 puzzle game making its way into the Archives. In case you missed it, today’s your last chance to rack up those My Nintendo Gold coins from your purchases. Seriously, even if you’re snagging games at a discount using codes from the Humble Store or Best Buy, they count fully towards your coin collection. But this week… well, don’t hold your breath for any gaming gems to splurge those coins on. The biggest splash is a Doraemon-flavored Picross, the mysteriously published new Gal Guardians from PQube, and Nightdive’s reboot of the ’95 PC classic, I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream—a title I only ever encountered frustratingly via a demo that wouldn’t run on my dinosaur of a computer back in the day.
With it being the frantic final week of the fiscal quarter, new releases are flooding in like nobody’s business. I’ve barely managed to squeeze in an hour and a half with Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive since its big launch, which means I’ll probably finish it around the end of time itself. Thanks, universe.
