The week that crazy Nintendo Direct happened

Hello everyone! Hope you’ve all had a wonderful week – and that you’ve managed to come down from the amazing highs that Nintendo Direct produced. It’s amazing to see some games that we never thought we’d see in English finally coming west for the first time – Live A Live in particular is one I’m especially curious about, and I know I’m not the only one!

Elsewhere this week we take on the viral phenomenon that is Vampire Survivors, Civ-lite for the non-violent and plenty more besides. So enjoy our roundup of some of our favourite pieces you might have missed – and don’t forget to check the archives to catch up on everything!

Also don’t forget our pals at Funstock just launched a great Visual Novel Bundle featuring Root Letter: Last Answer, Root Film and BUSTAFELLOWS, all for Nintendo Switch. You can read more about it here, and pick up a copy for yourself here.

Don’t forget you can write to us at any time with the form at the bottom of every edition of the Rice Digital Friday Letters Page – or on the dedicated page here!

Final Fantasy and Attack the Backlog will be back soon – it’s been a busy week!

And there you have it. Have a thoroughly pleasant weekend, and we’ll see you all again on Monday! Mwah!
