Preorders for the new Shantae game open tomorrow. Of course I'm there. After regretting not jumping on the original Limited Run releases of Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse, I've made a point of picking up anything Shantae-related immediately.
That's not all that's on the horizon though. I'm currently awaiting my Limited Run order of Streets of Rage 4, for one, and in late May/early June I should be receiving copies of Dungeon of the Endless and 51 Worldwide Classics for Switch. Looking forward to the latter in particular; 42 All-Time Classics was legitimately one of my favourite Nintendo DS games.
Oh, I got turned down for a review code for the first time in ages today. I'm not mad or anything, devs and pubs have the right to choose who they give freebies to, but I did find the phrasing of their response rather odd — "after reviewing your content, we have determined not to issue a review code at this time". It sounded like a frigging job application response.
Oh well. The game was SuperMash, if you're curious, so don't expect any coverage of that any time soon. I like the idea of the game, but not to the tune of £15 at my own expense. I'll give it another look sometime if it's in an eShop sale or something.
Anyway, aside from that, as you know, I'm still eagerly awaiting my Evercade. There's going to be a ton of interesting things to talk about with that; I can't wait!
Better sleep now. One more day until the weekend. Hopefully we'll be recording a podcast this weekend, so please look forward to that! For now, farewell.
