AC for me. Will start from two and work way through all the ones they have released on switch now. Slowly.
I just bought Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, I think I'll have a good time with that. Cost me just over a fiver. As for new releases, I'm mighty tempted to buy Powerslave Exhumed this weekend, despite previously telling myself to leave it for later. The new Arcade Archives game, Dangerous Seed looks pretty good. It's a Namco shmup with alien insects, including giant spiders. But I've already got a bit carried away buying Arcade Archives games over the last couple of weeks.
I'm around five hours into Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden. Having a fun time.
Ezio collection just arrived from Amazon! AMAZING... apart of 35gb of download 🤣
"Inside Her (bedroom)"
Words fail me.
Would have got the Assassins Creed but as its not a collection, its a game with some download codes, no thanks
Ok, but where is the Arcade Archives title of this week? Why don't you announce it? And it's a big one this week!
The header image reminded me of this,

"Feel the power of my maaaaagiiic!!"
puzzle and dragons for me this week
Slim pickings.
Nothing for me as I'll be playing Horizon Forbidden West on PS5. I've played the Assassin's Creed games to death already so no point buying them again here.
Infernax is a modern retro delight, haven't enjoyed a retro style title like this since Shovel Knight. It was a Gamepass day 1 release.
