After everybody told me that I was crazy for arguing for the Virtual Boy on Nintendo Switch Online, I have to admit that I feel heard. Can't wait to cover the Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Classics Review Crew in February.

GOOD NEWS! Nintendo has finally updated the Nintendo Switch Online with the first games of 2025 -- Fatal Fury 2, Super Ninja Boy and Sutte Hakkun.
BAD NEWS! I'm still at the beach on vacation and won't be back until next week, so no Review Crew episode tomorrow. Don't worry, it will be the first thing I post when I get back, and I can already tell you that it's going to be a great episode. See you then!

Today's episode of Castlevania Dominus Collection Review Crew has been DELAYED due to the Internet Archive being down. Normally, I am able to create my own scans and images, but I relay on the Internet Archive for issues of Edge magazine (and other publications from Europe). Edge's scores play an important role when it comes to reviewing these three Castlevania games, so I have no other choice but to delay the episode. If the Internet Archive comes back today, then look for the Review Crew episode to go live on Saturday. If not, see you next week.
