Hey, so, um, about that thing on Nintendo. Honestly, my mind’s been bouncing all over, like those dang rubber balls you used to get from vending machines. Anyway—no—hang on, let’s just dive in.
So, you wake up, right? And bam! There’s the BBC talking about playing NES games on a Super Nintendo. I’m like, “Did they even try calling Greg Leahy?” Seems obvious, right? Whoops, maybe not, I guess.
Okay, so, Donkey Kong Bananza is what everyone’s jabbering about. I mean, it’s kind of a big deal in the Nintendo world this week. Reviews coming soon, or so I’m told. Meanwhile, there’s wacky stuff like that Pac-Man thing—no clue why it’s listed as bigger than Montreal in Shadow Labyrinth. I guess if you’re getting it on Switch, there’s a free upgrade pack. Perks, huh?
Oh, and how bonkers is this? The Wandering Village puts your city on a big ol’ creature’s back. Who thinks of this stuff? Really, just, like, what?
Random things that nearly slipped under the radar: There’s a new fighter game from the ArcSys team. Ever heard of HunterxHunter NenxImpact? Well, it’s got the Dragon Ball FighterZ folks on it. Fingers crossed. Gaah, I missed the Super Dimension Fortress Macross II getting released last week. Also, an Australian Rules football game launched but oops, no licenses. Can’t make my dream match-up between St. Kilda and the Gold Coast happen now.
Check this out: Pineapple: A Bittersweet Revenge—it’s like, eight bucks in the US, but in Canada? A whopping eighty dollars. Who priced this? Honest mistake, or…?
Alright, switching gears. What’s new? Here’s some North America prices to juggle in your mind:
– Switch 2: Donkey Kong Bananza costs $69.99 in the US and shows up at roughly $99.99 in Canada.
– Switch 1 has HunterxHunter Nen Impact at $59.99. These prices just bounce around like hyperactive puppies, $49.99 for Bustafellows Season 2 and a bunch more I can’t keep straight.
– Then there’s Neon Noodles for, like, $19.99, arriving on Wednesday. Sounds tasty, right? Or, I mean, maybe not exactly “tasty,” but intriguing? Yeah.
– In the clutter of games, don’t miss Peek a Fish! for $3.99. What is that, even? Just the name made me look twice.
And hey, Europe fans, Donkey Kong Bananza drops in at €69.99, with Pac-Man: Shadow Labyrinth doing its Friday thing for €29.99.
Japan has their own cool list, with Donkey Kong Bananza showing up again at ¥7980. Meanwhile, I’m trying to wrap my head around DistortedCode: The Scent Of Life. Sounds deep, right? But who knows—could be about anything.
Anyway — wait, no — I was about to… ah, forget it. I think that’s it. Just, like, a fractured kaleidoscope of Nintendo goodies. Got distracted, but it’s all good.
