Sure thing! Here’s a reimagined version of your article with a more human, candid touch. Let’s dive in:
So, yeah, just when you thought the week’s going to roll out quietly, boom. Here comes the Drag x Drive trial for Switch 2. Sorry if you wanted surprises, oops.
It’s like everything’s both too chill and somehow wild for early August, right? We’ve got Gradius Origins (throwback to that March Switch 1 Direct thing), which is apparently what you need if you’re taking down the NES Pro Wrestling boss. Imagine that. Or you could switch lanes to blasting away in The House of the Dead 2. Forever Entertainment’s on that, so, tread carefully. Now, if gunfire isn’t your style, you’ve got choices like the latest Demon Slayer escapade or Fate/Hollow Ataraxia—anime vibes, full throttle.
Random thought: The Edge of Allegoria does this weird thing where it’s like Pokémon RBY but in HD? Yet, oddly, not the worst copycat scandal of the week. That honor might be to Team17’s Ritual of Raven. Not judging, just saying.
Stuff we blanked on last week—Partner Showcase was a thing! Chilling By The Fire somehow made it in there, and yeah, reset the "Directs Without Saga Reveal" sign again. Square Enix just can’t resist, huh? For the nostalgia-hungry, a couple of 3DS-era Harvest Moons are getting Switch makeovers. And hey, Taito’s "Field Day" popped up in the Archives too.
And if you’re scratching your head over the EggConsole game, asking if it demands Japanese fluency: it seems fine. More action than chat, though if there’s too much jabber, buckle up, who knows?
In the North American corner, drumroll:
- Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 takes your Tuesday at $59.99 (C$84.99)
- Gradius Origins just hangs at $39.99
- Fate is back! Hollow Ataraxia Remastered for $29.99 on Wednesday
- The House of the Dead 2 Remake for a cool $24.99
Could keep rattling them off, but seriously, let’s not put everyone to sleep with just a list, huh?
Zooming to Europe:
- Demon Slayer struts in at €59.99, or £54.99 this Tuesday
- Gradius Origins holds its own at €39.99
See where this is going? It’s like a shopping list you never knew you started.
Meanwhile, in Japan:
- Yuukyuu no Tierblade comes in at ¥7700
- Gradius shows up again, ¥6380 this time
And, well, you get the drift by now. I could go on but let’s not. Sometimes you just have to step back and let the titles fight for your attention without my yammering, right?
Sales trend? So, like, Roki’s on a steep discount—90% off till August 17. Yeah, might check that out on PSPrices or DekuDeals if bargain hunting’s your jam.
And there it is, more or less. A mess? Indeed. But somewhere between chaos and charm, it’s this week’s gaming lineup, personal soundtrack optional.
