This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

A new update has just released for the intense rhythm-action game Thumper, and it’s actually a pretty sizeable one. This update is adding in a brand-new Practice Mode, adjusting leniency on restarting from checkpoints, changing how the score/rank tally is displayed for level 9 and addressing several other minor fixes and bugs.

Here are the full patch notes from the Steam version of the game, which should also carry over to the Switch version’s update:

The regular monthly update has just gone live for Pokemon Masters EX bringing the game to version 2.22.0. This is a fairly minor update, preparing the game for further content as usual, but also adding songs to the Jukebox and fixing a few minor bugs and issues.

Publisher Neos Corporation and developer Millenium Kitchen have announced that Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey will be making its way over to the West. The game, based on the popular manga series Crayon Shin-chan, released in July 2021 in Japan, but will finally be available in Europe and North America this August.

The game itself is a relaxing life-simulation-style game, in a similar vein to something like Animal Crossing. You take the role of titular character Shin-chan as you experience a Summer vacation in the peaceful town of Assou. You’ll get to explore, catch bugs and fish, take pictures, interact with the townsfolk and more as you experience the strange and wonderful events occuring in Assou, all over the course of 30 days.
