Not much coming for the next month. But that’s ok since we’re still inundated with summer releases. No More Heroes 3 at the end of the month. I’m just hoping the performance traversing the world is OK. Until confirmed, I’m reserving my hype. Sonic Colors a week after, and I’m buying it but I can’t honestly say I’m that excited. It’s a good Sonic game, but then again Sonic game standards aren’t all that high. It will at least be the first Sonic game I’m interested in since Lost World on Wii U left me sorely disappointed.
And then, a week later, we get WarioWare. Finally, a game I’m truly looking forward to. That all should be enough to last a month though until the main course… MONKEY BALL and METROID DREAD, 3 DAYS APART! That is the fruit of the womb. That is what we’ve been waiting for, for at least a decade now. Both releases are games we’ve genuinely been waiting generations for.
Nothing like some classic Monkey Golf, Monkey Billiards, Monkey Bowling and morph ball mania for weekend that will long be remembered.

I guess my most anticipated are Metroid dread and tmnt:shredders revenge.
On the topic of Konami Beat em up revivals, at I the only one who wants to see a revival of Konami’s crime fighters series? Kinda like what happened with SOR4. Or at the very least give us Violent Storm as part of Arcade Archives.
Played Zengeon for about an hour and I have to say I've never seen a game marketed incorrectly like this before. The advertising on the box says "roguelite". But there are no progression systems and there's permadeath. Those are traits of a roguelike, not a roguelite.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,558 games (as of April 7th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
For me, it's going to be Skyward Sword HD which i still haven't bought yet, Sonic Colors Ultimate, Warioware GIT, the physical release of Game Builder Garage, Super Monkey Ball, Metroid Dread, Mario Party and maybe Hot Wheels Unleashed and Advance Wars 1+2
@Magician That's cool. I currently have my eyes set on games like Metroid Dread, Mario Party Superstars, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, WarioWare: Get It Together, among other games from that E3 direct. There haven't been too much indie games that caught my interest, but I kind of want to give that TMNT game a shot!

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
Ok, wow. I'm actually astonished at how many games were revealed I care about.
Axiom Verge 2 launching today was a smart move. Get it in leading up to Metroid Dread.
Metal Slug Tactics looks slick. I love the artstyle. Switch truly is the best platform ever released for strategy titles.
Tetris Effect Connected Ya. It's about time. No idea what took them so long to release this game on Switch. But it's coming now, and that's what matters.
Eastward looked genuinely interesting. I have to be careful here though. A LOT of indie games release in this "looks good but is it really good?" category. Like Baldo, I'll wait for reviews and go from there.
Of course I watch the crappy Indie Worlds with random games nobody cares about, but the one I skip drops bombs. lol
I've literally wanted Tetris Effect on Switch for years now. It's SUCH a good version of that game. But I just don't really care about playing Tetris on a TV. It has always been a handheld property for me.
October literally draining my bank account. Jesus.
@JaxonH I know it was a typo, but Metal Gear Tactics would be a huge announcement for me, lol.
Metal Slug Tactics is cool too, though. I really liked the look of it at E3.
Does Tetris Effect have a smaller window as shown in the trailer, similar to Tetris 99, or does it let you fill the entire screen top to bottom? Asking because handheld mode might seem pretty small if it's just a tiny window
@JaxonH There's a camera zoom option for single-player modes where you can make the board fill the screen, which I had to use because I'm near-sighted and struggled to see the board at the default size. The obvious trade-off is that you don't see a lot of the visual effects on the periphery of the screen, but... eh.
Zoom isn't an option in multiplayer, though, to my knowledge. Ironically, despite the vastly smaller screen, being able to hold it close to my face means it'll probably still be easier for me to play mp in handheld mode, like with Tetris 99.
Just saw the Indie World video. I'm actually pretty excited for Tetris Effect! Eastward looks pretty good too, and I'd like to give Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon a shot as well. I never got the first Axiom Verge though...I should change that sometime before I get the second one.

If you do, I will warn you there's a boss in the first Axiom Verge that's brutal. I could not beat it to save my life. Great boss music, though.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
@JaxonH mp gameplay might be an issue in handheld for some people, since it doesn't have the zoom feature. If the devs are smart, they'll patch in something for handheld players that increases the size of the boards when the system is undocked.
Hopefully the developers have toned down some of the visual effects on Switch to maintain a solid framerate and resolution.
Not sure how much time I'll spend in mp, though. Tetris Effect will be THE single-player Tetris game on Switch when it launches. Nothing else compares.
Just bought Islanders Console Edition for £5 which is a bargain! That will keep me going through work... err I mean... not during work because I am totally doing my job
