New Game Releases: July 20th-26th, 2017
Just when it seemed that physical releases were drying up amidst the summer sun, comes a barrage of disk and cartridge-based titles. On the Switch, Splatoon 2 and Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star cases will be lining shelves, while on the PlayStation 4, the GameStop exclusive of Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure will be packaged and shipped to retail. Also this week, PC owners are privy to the rare physical package, with Victor Vran: Overkill Edition making an appearance.

Robert’s Pick: While I’m not crazy about competitive multiplayer games and am unlikely to wire up my Switch for chat, I am excited for the release of Splatoon 2. On original was one of those experiences where even if I was on the lower end of the leaderboards, I was still having fun- and felt like I was contributing to the team. And while most of my Switch play will be offline/on-the go, I’ll be picking up Splatoon 2 for the single-player experience and the occasional match with radio-silent allies.
I’m wondering if Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star runs as well on the Switch as it did on PS4. Anyone know the framerate?
I still need to pick up the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. I’m really behind on new games.
I’m with you. I still need to get it. I’m hoping a price drop happens soon.
I like Shodown, but I think I’ll wait for one of the sequels. SamSho 2 and 3 are some of the best.
I’m downloading Splatoon 2 now.
I’ll be getting Pyre this week. Can’t wait for Tuesday.
PWND looks cool. But I’ll wait to see if it catches on first.
