In case you missed it last week, we saw the inclusion of The Quest of Ki in the Archives from Namco’s Vs series. Beyond that, we pretty much covered everything in RFN 900.
Seems like the Horizon series just can’t catch a break when it comes to timing its releases. The original was dwarfed by the launch of Breath of the Wild, the sequel had to contend with Elden Ring, and they even timed a remaster to come out the same week as Dragon Age’s latest installment. This week, Lego Horizon Adventures is trying to make its mark, but it’s got stiff competition from the impressive releases of Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Tetris Forever. Willem has already tackled the Tetris review, and the scoop on Dragon Quest III will be up shortly.
In other notable happenings this week, Petit Island continues to entice fans who followed the Wholesome Direct closely. Additionally, a fresh trio of Irem shooters is being packaged together, and the EggConsole is rolling out yet another version of the original Ys.
