With the best selling game of September and also Splatoon 3.
Last week: Pac and Pal were added to the files.
Well, some of us got charged for it and even got the 10% bonus gold points, but it’s finally here: Splatoon 3 premieres at midnight EDT on Friday morning. Although it won’t win NPDs in September (NBA 2k23 comes out on the same day and is sold on six platforms), it will probably dominate the conversation around here for a month, barring sudden interruptions from Direct. And even then, we’ll probably get some updates in chat, hopefully including electoral reform.
Other titles to check out this week: Humble Games releases the most ambitious of the Insurgent monster catching games (not to be confused with Pokemon Insurgence, which I’ve spent an insane amount of time on this weekend) in Temtem, the set Zen Studios’ newest has Been Embraced by Saber at Circus Electrique, a kaiju dating sim that still doesn’t top Dawn of the Monsters, and the newest set of Mommy’s Best Games: Game Type DX, the game that pays homage to the best interface Xbox 360 has ever had. . Also, in an apparent attempt to push my ability to suck over the edge and actually max out, the threatened Disney game Dreamlight Valley enters the picture…wait, are we seriously doing Early Access on Switch? If so, why are they selling the stupidest, stupidest, stupidest editions?
