New releases: Week of May 7th, 2017

Another week has gone by and I am still trying to find time to dedicate to playing Legend of Zelda on the Switch. The trick is trying to find a moment when it is either not being used by my wife or youngest daughter. In the meantime I still need to put more time into Mass Effect. I have been thinking about it alot lately but again finding that time right now is hard. On the plus side I found an old CRT TV when I was cleaning out my dad's house. It's only 13" but my old NES hooks into it and Duck Hunt works! Still can't shoot that damn dog though...stop laughing at me! Jerk.

Lets look at what other games I don't have time to play.

BUTCHER
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One
Release date: May 9th, 2017 (PS4) | May 10th, 2017 (Xbox One)

Released on Steam back in October 2016, BUTCHER is coming to Playstation and Xbox One this week. I could go on but just click the link below and watch the video for a full explanation of this Indie 8bit Retro Style side scrolling shooter.

LocoRoco Remastered
Platforms: PS4
Release date: May 9th, 2017

If you played the original you know what this is. If you didn't because you were too mature at the time then maybe you have kids now that would like this. I don't know...it's not for me though.

NBA Playgrounds
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch
Release date: May 9th, 2017

Its like NBA Jam in Big Head mode except on the playground. Needs more commentary though like "He's heating up!", "He's on Fire!".

Strafe
Platforms: PC
Release date: May 9th, 2017

Successfully funded on Kickstarter back in 205, Starfe makes it's way to Steam this week. An homage to mid 90's FPS games but in a style all it's own. Strafe could be a ton of multiplayer fun!

Minecraft
Platforms: Switch
Release date: May 11th, 2017

If you or your kids don't already have multiple Minecraft accounts on PC, iOS, Android, PS4 or Xbox why not add one to the Switch? I am not putting a video link of this as I am pretty sure you know EXACTLY what to expect at this point.
