- The Mermaid Mask — 8/8/7/7 (30/40 total)
- Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons Boost — 8/7/7/6 (28/40 total)
The highest score of the week went to the baseball simulator Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2026, while the fun cooperative platformer Heave Ho 2 received consistently high and unanimous reviews from all four critics.
