North AmericaĪlfred Hitchcock - Vertigo ($39.99/$49.99: Tuesday)

The big foreign release - aside from a pair of Japan exclusive adventures in a new Touch Detective game and a Hakuoki romance novel - is actually in Canada this week, as we get ready for Thanksgiving by trading a pair of games I won't touch with a three metre pole for an exclusive curling game (typical) developed by Imagineer who you might know as the devs of Fitness Boxing (.eh?). Smaller titles this week include the slightly-delayed shooter Prodeus, long-ago previewed adventure title Youropa, and Tribute Games (Flinthook) has a smaller title in the cutely named Wizorb. Also personally interesting for me in the adventure sphere are another double-header of Science Adventure from Mages and Spike Chunsoft in the form of Chaos Head Noah (the game too hot for Steam, apparently) and Chaos Child, which if I wasn't neck-deep in 100 hour RPGs I'd be blasting through. The other potential headliner is No Man's Sky, but I'll defer to the RPG in this instance. There was a mental debate as to which Switch port was the big game of the week, but that lasted until about five seconds after Matt's review of NieR: Automata went up since I'll stand up for most of our 10s that don't start with "Metroid". Although it was already on the list at first posting, I also want to give a shoutout to Escape Goat as a lost game from the old Xbox Live Indie Game service. Things we missed last week: The Life is Strange Arcadia Bay Collection, the Skyrim Anniversary content which apparently the mods have issues on Switch ( pretends to be shocked) and the release list swelled to a total of 62 games + 1 cloud streaming app which is the second largest release week in the history of the Switch behind the week of January 22.
