Between my dwindling stash of gold coins and the pace I’m setting in Xenoblade X, my relationship with the eShop has hit a chilliness reminiscent of Wendy’s frostiest treat.
Last week slipped by with only the addition of the Match 3 puzzle game Senkyu joining the Archives. Worth noting for those who play the points game, tonight is your last chance to snag My Nintendo Gold coins from purchases. Even if you score a discount on platforms like Humble Store or Best Buy, those beauties will still grant you their full worth. Looking at this week’s game lineup for spending those precious coins, though, it’s slim pickings. We’re treated to a Doraemon-themed Picross as the standout, a fresh Gal Guardians title from PQube, and a revival of the classic ’95 PC adventure, I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, brought back by Nightdive. My only run-in with that title was a frustratingly unplayable demo from a long-lost PC Gamer disc.
With the fiscal quarter’s end looming, the game release schedule is flooding more than my gameplay hours allow, leaving me with just a measly hour and a half into Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive since its release. Continuing at this rate, I might just wrap up after the universe decides to call it quits. Charming, isn’t it?
