The Arcade Archives listing is from last week, believe this week its Gradius.
Bloodstained curse of the Moon 2. Looks pretty sweet. I like to wait for reviews though. Never know when a game might just be broken.
Cross code as soon as its available.
Crosscode AND Bloodstained, heck yeah! Good week.
Curse of the Moon 2 does look good. I liked the original a lot.
Already have curse of the moon 2 preloaded. I voted for crosscode but I can't get it day 1, I have too much to play right now and its quite a long game, so it'll have to wait.
Hmm, void tRrLM(); //Void Terrarium... wth naming is that?
I picked up Spongebob battle for bikini bottom rehydrated yesterday and so far so good. Streets of Rage 4 for Switch and PS4 will be here tomorrow from Limited Run. I also ordered Deadly Premonition 2 and Catherine full body, plus Darksiders 3 and Anthem are on sale for Xbox One at Best Buy for $5.99 each so I ordered those because why not. All those games should be here tomorrow so I'm good until next week. I'll get Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 physical later on. I hope everyone has a great weekend and stay safe😊
@Faucet Yes. Plus, tomorrow the Steam version releases, and they have a good refund policy if there are problems. I will try it there, first!
@DTfeartheBEARD Anthem is $6?! That’s pretty amazing.
Already got Bloodstained, Deadly Premonition 2, and Story of Seasons pre-loaded and RET-2-GO
It’s only a matter of weeks before Arcade Archives Kangaroo is released! I can’t wait!
Also, I’m really hoping that the announcement of the Sega mini Arcade (Astro Street? I can’t remember) means that we’ll be seeing the likes of Virtua Fighter, Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adler and others on Switch.
Picking up Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2!
Wow I thought Friends of Mineral Town would be higher in the poll.
@benjamouth Happens every single week. For some reason the Nintendo PR that is posted every Thursday always lists the previous week's Hamster Arcade Archives releases.
Got my eyes on CrossCode and Bloodstained.
CrossCode I had on PC and so will be buying on Switch for OTG play. Wish they would port the rest of the Dark Souls trilogy and possibly Bloodborne to Switch to tide me over until SMT V and Bayonetta 3's releases
Curse of the Moon 2 already predownloaded.
Not sure how people missed this, but this video showcases co-op and how abilies can effect eachother and the other 4 playable characters bringing the total to 8!
