@NEStalgia Hmm. I never got the "not wanting it to end" thing. I've heard people say that as a reason why they don't finish BotW, but... I mean, you can replay the game.
RE: final battles, as much as I love Lunar 2, it has this really poorly designed set-up where it's possible to get to the very end of the game and then not be able to win against the final boss because you're too low level and don't have enough items to use, but also can't get to a shop to buy more stuff! I actually didn't beat it the first time I played it as a child.
@Ralizah I think it's more of a psychological thing. The characters become real people to me in a really well written RPG. If it ends, I know their fates, I've seen it, their journey is over, and no amount of replaying it makes it feel like it's truly the same ongoing adventure. Plus I know I'll never put in the hundred hours and all the annoying little issues I put up with because I was so enthralled the first time....
Honestly October isn't fairing any better. All four of the D&D games (Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape, and Icewind Dale) were pushed from September to October. I'm thankful that the collector editions for those games is unimpressive. However, as a super-fan of NIS America, seeing them release five limited editions (YU-NO, Destiny Connect, Atelier Ryza, Alliance Alive HD, and Disgaea 4 Complete) between October 1st and November 1st is financially challenging.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,560 games (as of April 14th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
Just like that, Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition has released on the Eshop for £24.99/ $29.99. I knew it was due soon but Gearbox just said the other day that they'd have news to share at the end of this month. It's a strange tactic for a fairly big release.
The games I'll definitely be getting over the next 3 months
Grid Autosport
Links Awakening
Dragons Quest XI
The Witcher 3
Luigi's Mansion 3
Ninja Saviors
Remothered
Bulletstorm (depending on the port)
Future sale
Spyro
Ni No Kuni
Depending on reviews
Daemon X Machina
Contra: Rogue Corps
Speaking of unbeaten JRPGs, Octopath is still sitting in my pile. I spent a good 4 hours fighting the end game after the last save point before dying, and I can't see why I would ever try that again. I get not allowing saving during that crazy gauntlet, but they really should have had one final save point before the final boss. Other than that... I think all my JRPGs are either in 'have not started' (Persona 5, FFX/X-2, Shining Resonance, YS VIII, Fire Emblem Three Houses) or complete, I think.
Bulletstorm... that was the game that everyone bought just to get into the beta for Gears of War or something, right? Didn't look very appealing to me, but I'm not much of a shooter fan unless it's like Doom / Mass Effect.
Untitled Goose Game's launch date is the worst. I'll have to get it next year.
Zero/ZX Collection is still super exciting to me, in a way the other two collections never were. I really can't wait to finally get my hands on Zero 3+4, but I'll probably end up playing all the others again too. BN and SF/Legends collections next please...? And I'd take a Star Force 4, ZX 3, and Legends 3 too while we're at it, none of those series were ready to end (unlike Classic / X / Battle Network and from what I've heard Zero, which have done what they set out to do)
@BlueBlur101 What game is that with the microtransactions? I didn't get to see the video.
It uses egregious stuff like literal casino minigames and chance minigames like slot machines and pachinko machines in a game rated E for everyone by the esrb

@BlueBlur101 What the heck? I figured it was gonna be GTA or something where casinos actually make sense. What the heck do casinos have to do with basketball even?
@Ralizah PS1 I'm thinking,feeling nostalgic for jaggies.
No idea why I wrote VII. I've never played a Dragons Quest game before but DQXI appeals to me greatly. I'm undecided whether I should try the demo or just go all in next month.
Wow, Bulletstorm is full 1080p and rock solid framerate (not a single dropped frame on ContraNetworks Test).
That’s awesome. We need more FPS, and it’s nice to finally have one that’s not only critically acclaimed but also runs full spec. Don’t get me wrong, I love DOOM, but we needed a high res/rock solid framerate shooter.
I’ve never played the game so, it’s all brand new for me. Downloading now. Please have gyro (I know it won’t... ughh). edit No gyro. It’s still totally worth buying but there’s no denying it would be even better with Gyro.
So I encourage everyone to drop a line on their release tweet and just say hey... gyro please. They are not used to selling FPS to the Nintendo fan base. We have to let them know that we like Gyro in our FPS.
And Astral Chain is being review bombed, just like Fire Emblem Three Houses was. Seems the only way to fight this is by proactively voicing honest reviews for every Switch exclusive.
@EvilLucario Yeah, I'm predicting Capcom will go the same route as before. Hopefully they'll just have ZL and ZR as alternate buttons for L and R. Either way it'll be manageable, but man, would it be much more comfortable.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️

My god, that just sounds inexcusable and is enough to put me off ever trying that game now. Surely the developers are putting off waaayyy more players than they're attracting with that.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
