Lately, my eShop experiences have been cooler than a Wendy’s Frosty. Between the dwindling gold coins and my slow progress in Xenoblade X, it’s been a chilly affair.
Last week, we overlooked a Match 3 puzzle game called Senkyu in the Archives. Just a quick recall: Today is the last day to earn My Nintendo Gold coins from purchases. If you’re getting games from the Humble Store or Best Buy, now’s the time—they’re still of full value, even on sale. This week, your options for spending those coins feel a bit sparse. There’s a delightful Doraemon Picross game leading the charge, a fresh entry in the Gal Guardians series courtesy of PQube, and a polished version of the 1995 PC thriller, “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” thanks to Nightdive. My only encounter with that last one was on a demo disc from a PC Gamer issue we had at home that refused to run on my PC.
Being the tail end of the fiscal quarter, the onslaught of releases is quite overwhelming. I’ve barely managed to squeeze in an hour and a half of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive since it launched. If I keep this up, I might finish just before the universe decides to call it quits. Kudos to me, huh?
### North America Releases
For this week, North America sees a lineup mostly dominated by niche titles and some potential gems. Whether you’re into visual novels like “Destind: Mr. Almost Right” for $34.99/C$44.99 or unique indie offerings like “Bubble Ghost Remake” at $19.99, there’s something eclectic for everyone. Looking for something sweet and easy-going? “Care Bears: Unlock the Magic” might just brighten your day for $29.99. Meanwhile, thrill-seekers might find “Sniper Scope: Realistic Tactical Shooter” at $9.99 intriguing.
### Europe List
Over in Europe, the lineup slightly mirrors North America’s with some artsy additions. If you’re into quirky adventures, “Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries” at €15.99 could be a delightful pick. Those who enjoy a puzzle twist can snag “Picross S Doraremon and F Characters Edition” for €10.99. Visual novel fans aren’t left out either; “Destind: Mr. Almost Right” arrives at €33.99 on Wednesday.

For a more visual novel experience, “Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity-” is also available at Â¥5500. And if you’re fond of classic shooters, “Galagi Shooter Ultimate Blast” for Â¥1190 is also a choice worth considering.
