Lately, my interaction with the eShop feels colder than a frosty Wendy’s shake, caught between the wrapping up of My Nintendo Gold coins and the slow progress in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Last week slipped by seemingly without much fuss, and the only noteworthy game we overlooked was Senkyu, a match-3 puzzle nostalgia piece now nestled in the Archives.
Just a quick heads-up—tonight is the cutoff for earning My Nintendo Gold coins on purchases! You can still snag full value when redeeming codes from retailers like Humble Store or Best Buy, even if there’s a discount involved. Now, as for spending those shiny coins this week… well, the options feel a bit sparse. Leading the pack is a Doraemon-themed Picross, then there’s a fresh outing from Gal Guardians, albeit under the PQube banner, and lastly, Nightdive’s makeover of the 1995 classic, “I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream,” which I remember only from a demo disc my computer never quite accepted.
With the fiscal quarter drawing to a close, a torrent of releases has flooded in—so much so that I’ve barely managed to squeeze in a mere hour and a half of playtime on Xenoblade Chronicles X since its launch. At this glacial speed, I might just complete it when the universe decides it’s time for a break.
