Two thousand five hundred games. WOULD SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN SPAM.

Things we missed last week: In a +19 week for NA, we got a surprise drop of 3DS refugee Ironfall Invasion (review forthcoming from John, here's hoping this one doesn't have to get yanked for an epic security hole), and the rare Fantastic Night Dreams Cotton was the Archives release.

That +19 means we ended the week on 65 in NA, meaning that we have not only passed the total from last year already, but we are now sitting north of 2,500 releases. And look, today is the first day of Hell Months at my job, a time that makes it so the only holiday I've had off in the last seven years required me to spend eleven days in the hospital, so I'm already cheesed off. Moving on.

The major game of the week is itself a refugee, as Hironobu Sakaguchi (of Final Fantasy fame) may have his final release finally come to consoles in the form of Fantasian Neo Dimension. The previous Apple Arcade exclusive is joined by a Nintendo-published (outside Japan) launch in Fitness Boxing 3, the classic Roller Coaster Tycoon games with controls allegedly reworked from mouse to console, and the competitive fighter you might have seen at various and sundry presentations over the past couple of years Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is finally launching. ~~Also launching in AntonBlast, but we don't have pricing for that yet.~~ Note Dec 7/24: Although the Steam version did get out, the Switch version was delayed. The devs are still aiming to get it out before the end of the year following the Helene/Milton doubletap.

Smaller things of note: The EggConsole line's release is Riglas, a side-scrolling RPG (think original Ys III) that looks to be relatively playable without Japanese knowledge, and was originally published by the mysterious package peddlers at Random House in Japan. There's also a... what I believe to be the first console licensed game based off the MasterChef franchise, which to keep it Gordon Ramsay looks like the infamous "exotic tartare".
