I'm very excited for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. The Rescue Team games were amoung my favorites as a child and I am very happy to see them be remade together. I will also be downloading the Luigi's Mansion DLC, the new game modes will be fun to try with my little brothers.
Phoenix Wright x Picross... How can you pass up Murder by Numbers?
Murder By Numbers, finally! Gonna have to share my Switch with my wife for this one, haha.
If only we had a Virtual Console to fill in for weeks like this..
@T7Hokage017 It is not.
@JSDude1 We don't need tons of quality games every week. My backlog is massive enough as is. A virtual console would be nice though.
@NotoriousWhiz Yeah, I could definitely use some more weeks of nothing that interests me to keep the ol’ backlog down.
I got Murder By Numbers today, so there’s another ~20 hours added to my backlog, haha.
Virtual Console would be rad though. The Switch could be the ultimate retro console if they just let it happen.
@NotoriousWhiz yeah but it sometimes made weak weeks like this one a bit better, unless of course the VC offering that week was also weak.
Preordered my son Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, but it’s for his birthday in April. Just need to intercept the post before he sees it 😂
Pokémon for the win. Nothing else really to buy, just waiting for the great Animal Crossing now.
Still working through a giant post Christmas backlog, in addition to just discovering Overwatch, which has me currently addicted.
Ibb and Obb all the way. Played it back on PS3 and really enjoyed it.
FINALLY Murder by Numbers day! This is the most excited I've been for a game in a long time. Can't wait to start it up during my lunch break today!
Maybe my age is getting to me but i find myself knowing less and less of the games releasing each week. It's 70% stuff I've never even heard of lately. I feel like I'm becoming out of touch with the current gaming scene.
@Zeldafan79 You're probably just more aware of games you don't know anything about now because of, for example, articles/lists like these.
@Zeldafan79 I feel the exact same way. There is so much new content every week that there is no way to keep up. Lately it has started reminding me of the end of the NES's lifespan, when there were so many games coming out (and not a lot of them good) that I would just sit there at the video store scratching my head.
Then I would pick something with ninjas in it. That seemed to be a safe bet.
I'm guessing the Troubleshooter game is this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/470310/Troubleshooter/
I gotta admit I was hoping it would be the game called Battle Mania in Japan. I'd be totally stoked for a localized collection with that game and its sequel.
I was stunned to see "ibb & obb" on the list... I thought that game had long been forgotten.
It is a FANTASTIC local co-op puzzle platformer... played through the entire game on PS3 with my wife... then again with my brother-in-law.
Anyone interested in the genre should get it... and then let's pray for a sequel!
@Guitar_bard
Yeah i still cling to the tried and true franchises that have existed since the early days. I stay current on all new games from those but all this Indie stuff and new IP's just fly right over my radar. It's hard to know what's good and what's not.
@Zeldafan79 Absolutely. I think Shovel Knight is one of the only indie games that really interested me, just because it is such a cool love letter to some of my favorite games.
I'm kinda intrigued by the description for "Dude, Stop." But what is it?
"Dude, Stop" is not exactly telling what kind of game it is, and $15 is kind of steep for an unknown gimmick.
I have a lot on my plate to finish already. I'm on the final boss of Kunai, the final chapter of TMS, a good ways into Pokemon Platinum, and have finally succumbed to my newfound Animal Crossing addiction.
I need help
Just two more weeks!!!!!
@Zeldafan79 agreed...Just waiting for the big names (AC, Trials of Mana, Xenoblade). I did recently jump into Ys VIII, as it was 50% off (digital) and I've been meaning to play that for a while.
Yeah i might be interested in Mystery Dungeon if it's on sale, but it's a bit steep at 60 bucks.
Langrisser 1 & 2 is definitely on my radar but I cannot afford it ‘til next month. Warsong (Langrisser 1, I believe) was (and remains) one of my favorite TBS from the Genesis. Freaking amazing music in those games, too. The story does a good job of making it feel like a bigger war than it actually was.
I wasn’t expecting that to be full priced though.
Waiting on Xenoblade chronicles definitive edition.
I'm surprised I'm not the only one getting Langrisser I & II. I was pleasantly surprised with the demo and found myself wanting more. I especially love that the classic art and music are options. For me, the classic art+new music is a wonderful combination.
Other than that, I'm just waitin' for New Leaf. If I had the cash, Rescue Team DX would be worth pickin' up. The demo for that was good as well and I'm kind of impressed they put so much effort into it.
