We have a few games to discuss here. Are you ready for more Switch & Switch 2 games releasing this week? Let’s begin!
4PGP
Price: $19.99 (SW) & 24.99 (SW2)

Release Date: 2-4
“Enjoy the excitement of 90’s arcade games anywhere and with anyone!

I’m not heavy into racing games but this at least looks interesting. I’ll probably catch it on sale at some point.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass
Price: $19.99
System: Switch
Release Date: 2-4
“One day, Jimmy looked inside.
The game takes place in the dream of an eight-year-old boy. When an alien entity appears and threatens his family and the stability of the dream world itself, Jimmy sets out on an adventure to save his family and eradicate the threat of the Pulsating Mass. Along the way, Jimmy will have to work with his family, confront his own shortcomings, and brave the creeping nightmares of his subconscious.”
The artworks reminds me of (paid link) Earthbound, which I am pretty sure that’s what they were going for. It might be worth checking out.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

Release Date: 2-5
“There’s more to the world than this island… And we’re going to prove it!” Set sail on an adventure spanning past and present in DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined!

Nintendo Switch (paid link)
Nintendo Switch 2 (paid link)
I’ll eventually grab this but I’ve never jumped into Dragon Quest, so it will be sometime later. I did buy (paid link) Dragon Quest I+II for the Switch 2 and plan to play it to kick off my journey.
Lovish
Price: $14.99
System: Switch
Release Date: 2-5
“The only thing more dangerous than monsters is unrequited love.
Sir Solomon and the Saviors of Light depart Castle Cornelius to free Princess Tsuna from the grasp of the evil Devil Lord!
But the knight is worried… What if after being freed, the princess falls in love with one of his friends instead of with him?
So he does what anyone would do when blinded by love, and ditches his friends!
Solomon ventures into the Devil Lord’s castle alone, vowing to steal the princess’s heart.”
Truth be told, I have no idea how to feel about this one. It doesn’t look necessarily bad but I won’t be picking it up unless it goes dirt cheap.
Dragon Spira
Price: $19.99
System: Switch
Release Date: 2-5
“Master the board game with Spirit Beasts in a pixel-art fantasy RPG!
A thousand years ago, the divine created the world and six eggs. The beings born from them, called Spirit Beasts, were entrusted with prosperity but eventually rebelled. Enraged, the divine sealed them away and vanished, leaving behind humanity, the Divine Sword, and the Seed of Hope. Now, fate stirs once more as a new hero rises…
Experience a nostalgic pixel-art RPG packed with classic turn-based battles, a board game-style growth system, and a wide range of customizable jobs. Collect items, unlock powerful Wonder Skills, and raise a Spirit Beast companion that evolves with the story. Spin the roulette, grow stronger, and uncover the truth behind the sealed legends!”
I want to say this looks like a very nostalgic RPG which I am sure that’s exactly what they aimed for. It worked, for me anyway, because I definitely want to give it a try sometime in the future.
Magic Rune Stone

System: Switch
Release Date: 2-5
“An action Roguelite adventure! Play as distinct heroes, outfit them with varied gear and blessings, and take on mighty foes empowered by legendary Treasures.

Another roguelike? Sign me up. I may wait until a good sale to pick it up but I’m always down for another adventure.
Carmageddon: Rogue Shift

“Carmageddon smashes back with a spin-off roguelite vehicular‑combat mayhem. Adapt, upgrade, and unleash destruction on post‑apocalyptic zombie hordes.

Cars and zombies? Sign me up! Actually this series has been around for a good while. The first game being on the (paid link) Nintendo 64. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
Conclusion
That’s all for this week? Planning to pick up Dragon Quest VII? I know I will sometime in the future. Until then, you can check out my entries in Games I’m Playing to keep up with the latest. Until next time, happy gaming.
