I think doing the review for this was legit traumatizing. If you've never done a pre-release review you have no idea what it's like to be absolutely terrified of being the outlier review only for people to tear you to shreds when you're the only one that didn't like it.
The physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition release of Shuten Order, which is slated to come in North America & Europe next spring, will appear in Japan on April 23:

So very tired, but I couldn't let 2025 end without taking stock of Microsoft's embarrassing treatment of gaming, Windows, and indeed human beings while it chases the AI money train
Microsoft's year of shame
Can't make a few trillion dollars without ditching game developers, going googoo gaga for AI and supplying tech to the military, I suppose!
