@Ralizah Mario's Virtual Parchese, Holiday 2020!

Pikmin 3 is gonna smash this holiday. I bet it’ll be the first game in the series to break 3 million copies sold.

Just got Brigandine: Legend of Runersia physical copy, Steamworld Heist physical copy (EU import), and Steamworld Dig physical copy (EU import). The Steamworld Dig cart actually includes Steamworld Dig 2 also. And I already had Steamworld Quest physical copy (EU import). I finally have the entire collection on cartridge, all of them EU imports from Super Rare Games. I do have Steamworld Dig 2 separately on cart because it released in the US, but I rather prefer the 2-in1 Steamworld Dig cart from EU. Plus my digital copy showed up as a separate game than the US copy. Yet it shows up under the same icon as the EU one, even though it’s out of region! Which means the save data is the same for both! Weird.

@NEStalgia So is the second Xenoblade done by Nintendo U.K. or did the U.S. division take on that game? I didn’t even know Nintendo U.K. ever undertook localisation of games.

@FragRed That's a good question.... I'd probably have to check the credits to find out for sure, but iirc it was a joint treehouse/NUK effort with treehouse leading.... Unlike the "low budget" first game, the second (and X) had become major launches of what was now Nintendo's big first party RPG.

@Anti-Matter I'm willing to go into X-2 with an open mind when the time comes. Not sure if I'll finish it depending on how much I like the game (as with all others), but I'm willing to give it a shot. Maybe there will be a time after I do play FF X where I'm in the mood for something over the top.

@NintendoByNature Had to break myself of that habit. I only check every so often. Though Nintendo does have a tendency to email me when one or more items on my wishlist (which I do try to stick with on purchases) go on sale....

@Tyranexx yes!!! That's how they get me. I throw anything im remotely into on the wish list.

Joke’s on them. I already cleaned house- there’s nothing left to buy 😉

Can we get some of those smaller 1st party titles like, Boxboy, Pushmo, Zelda Picross, Dillons Rolling Western, Dr Mario, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Pokemon Battle Trozei (Pokemon Link Battle in EU) or ANY smaller Pokemon that’s not F2P garbage, ANY smaller Kirby game that’s not F2P garbage, etc.

3DS library was lit up with those kinds of titles. Even Wii U had its share. Yet they’re all MIA on Switch. What gives? And where’s the smaller Atlus titles? Where’s the next Etrian Odyssey, Persona Q3, Stella Glow 2, Radiant Historia Switch, etc? Heck, port the entire SMT line over after SMT3 and SMT5 drop.

And for the love of God, hurry up with Monster Hunter already! Don’t have time to be waiting all decade here

@Tyranexx X2 is weird, cool, and takes a dump on all the feels of the main game.

"X is dead, and i grieve, what do we do? "I know, DANCE PAHTAAYYY!"

Or Final Fantasy: Un-Emo Edition

@JaxonH "smaller Kirby game that’s not F2P garbage"

But then what would the modern main games think?

@JaxonH Atlus should really just port over what remains of their PS2 catalogue at the very least if they're not going to do the obvious and supply official home console translations of the first two numbered SMT titles. I'd kill for Digital Devil Saga and the Raidou duology, though I do think P3FES will get the Steam treatment a la P4G if anything.

Also I'm pretty sure at this point the MH ship has sailed unless Capcom suddenly decides now is the time for a Switch port of MH World because I seriously doubt they're going to make a new Nintendo-exclusive one since MHW is meant to be a mainline title

@TheFrenchiestFry I mean, what's the B-team working on if not a new spinoff/portable Monster Hunter game?

The 3DS entries might not have brought in MHW money, but they still sold millions of copies. That's nothing to scoff at. Capcom would be stupid not to revive the Portable line on Switch.

@JaxonH Have you snagged the Guild01 and Guild02 games yet? I particularly enjoyed Crimson Shroud.

I think my favorite of the mini-Nintendo games on 3DS early on was Sakura Samurai. Punch-Out with samurai, basically. It's a lot of fun.

Crysis update adds gyro sensitivity. Will give that a try this weekend.

@Ralizah
I own some of them on my official 3DS but I havent got them on my other 3DS (the ones I actually use).

I'll be sure to get them on my current system this weekend. Hear alot about them but never really played them much

The Braid Anniversary Edition revealed at yesterday's PlayStation State of Play is also coming to Switch.

Pretty dope; great game if you've somehow never played it.

I've never played it. I heard alot about it as an Xbox 360 indie though. Back in the days of Fez.

@JaxonH

Ah Fez, another indie classic. It's a shame Marcus Beer upset Phil Fish so badly.

Marcus Beer, Phil Fish, Jonathan Blow......why is it all garage indies are all named like extras in Starsky and Hutch?

Yea, Braid is good. I really liked it on my 360. Pretty sure I did all the challenges and stuff, if I remember correctly. (Game had the time rewinding stuff, right?)

@NintendoByNature I'm intentionally sort of picky with my wishlist. It's not too huge thankfully. Some demos have also swayed me one way or the other.

@NEStalgia Are you sure it isn't Final Fantasy X-2: DDR?

@JaxonH yeah, i noticed that, and was just wondering if i had missed anything. But with everything going on, unfortunately, it seems to have slowed things down just a bit in releases, not too much though.
