Oh, hi. I just moved in next door. Can I borrow a cup of video games? I'm baking a cake.
First up this week is something that's been out for a while, BUT NEVER BEFORE has it been on the Nintendo Switch. And all that changes today, as Apex Legends came out! I know nothing about Apex Legends save that it's a popular multiplayer shooter. Is it battle royale style or arena? I couldn't tell you. In fact, I'm still kind of bitter about its popularity as I blame that for the fact that we still haven't gotten a Titanfall 3. I mean, Titanfall 2 underperforming is probably more to blame for that, but I don't care! I know where my bile is already directed!
Beskittering on to the next game that's been ported around abunch and now made its way on to the Switch, we have Crash Bandicoot 4! Having no childhood attachment to the series, or indeed, ever playing one before, I can't honestly say much about this. It's a Crash Bandicoot game and I'm pretty sure his thing is eating berries and smashing boxes? And sometimes Mode 7 chase sequences? I can only assume nothing I've said has been wrong.
...maybe the Mode 7 thing since it was polygons, but otherwise!
Noble Armada: Lost Worlds is the perfect answer for anyone who wishes that either a board game was more video, or a video game was more board-y, as its an adaptaion of the miniture game Noble Armada, which I infer to be about spaceship fights, and probably... like... trading space-grain or something.
Cyanide & Happiness: Freakpocalypse is an adventure-em-up game about the comic strip of the same name! It... is about a sad kid who has to contend with targetted bitter sarcasm and also presumably monsters.
And the last thing I can think of to be worth commenting on this week is the arcade release of Thunder Dragon, which, honestly... also doesn't really *exthrizzilate* ,e., but its out there, being a shmup about helicopters, and the helicopting they do.
