This week sees the release of some big third-party releases, so we thought we would run a poll to see if our readers will be picking any of these games up.
We've got Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered by EA, the rhythm-action title Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory by Square Enix and Ubisoft's Just Dance 2021.
Nintendo might not have any major Switch releases itself this week, but the Super Mario Game & Watch is also now available - so we'll include that as well.

Only the Game & Watch.
I would get the game and watch, if the buttons weren’t placed so awkwardly and if Nintendo would stop wasting our money suing people.
None of that mess.
My sole retail purchase for the rest of the year is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. I may or may not get the Taiko RPGs as well.
I’ll get NFS and kingdom hearts on Black Friday.
I'm waiting for FF IX Switch physical on 27 Nov 2020.
Let's get physical. 🤟
I'd love the Mario Game & Watch, but that's just wishful thinking at best. I've accepted my fate and went with nothing for me!
I wish I could afford another $60 game right now, but I'll have to wait until Kingdom Hearts get a 50% discount.
@TG16_IS_BAE *getting sued.
The Game & Watch is cool but I'm not much of a collector of things like that so it was never really on my radar. I couldn't be less interested in any of those Switch games.
I’m waiting for that DUSK physical from Limited Run - gonna be tight
I'll get Hot Pursuit on Xbox One.
The Game & Watch Super Mario Bros
What about Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin? Picked that up yesterday and having a really good time with it... oh, I just looked it up and it’s out the 20th in the UK, and I’m on Nintendo Life. Gotcha. Well, you guys will love it.
But yeah, hopefully I can get a Gay Man Watch too.
P.S. Play Pikmin 3 Deluxe if you haven’t played the Wii U version! 😛
@BenAV Game & Watch is tempting for sure, but I think it I have too much collectibles as it is.
Otherwise, NFS for me. It’s new in my eyes.
I'll get Kingdom Hearts, but at a sale
Game and watch/ need for speed down the line
Nothing interesting here
@HotGoomba___Rebrand lol ; )
@BlubberWhale I second the write in vote for Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
I’ve also got the Colour Screen version of the Game & Watch coming from Amazon Uk, meanwhile I’m over here the states stalking bestbuy.com for the US version that never came up for preorder
Nothing here yet
@HotGoomba___Rebrand it’s 30 FPS
No thanks. Nothing there for me. Too busy playing the PS5 and XboxSeX anyway
The SMB G&W + KH:MoM.
Also got a physical Switch copy of Divinity Original Sin 2 earlier this week. What a great game!
Just the SMB G&W for me, it should arrive this morning.
I may be interested in Just Dance if the track list wasn't so uninteresting.
Kingdom Hearts of course! And this time I'll buy it for Switch, not my PS4 ♡ given the choice I'll always go with the portable option!!
@HotGoomba___Rebrand it's been 2-18 years from the newest to the oldest KH game. Anyone who has wanted to play KH has already done so by now.
I'm certainly interested in Need for Speed - I have GRID but would like a lighter and more arcade-like racing game. But I've committed to Age of Calamity and Sakuna next week and I'm not made of money.
@TG16_IS_BAE I get what you’re saying about the buttons, but isn’t that about where they’d be if you’re holding an NES control pad?
@adh56 It’s pretty great right? (Sakuna)
But yeah, just an hour ago, a few minutes past midnight here in The Midwest (USA), I happened to remember the Game & Watch, and managed to snag one from the Best Buy site. They had an interesting system where you have to press the yellow order button, which turns gray, wait a few minutes for it to turn yellow again, and the press it again and check out.
Anyway, should be available to pick up when I get up later this morning. 😃
Also I just now randomly bought Namco Museum Archives Vol. 2 on the eShop pretty much just for Pac-Land, which I’ve long had an interest in... somebody stop me!! (I guess $11.99 on sale isn’t terrible.)
Just picked up the Game & Watch today. Good times.
Unfortunately can’t get a PS5 atm but I do have my Game & watch which was shipped yesterday by Nintendo Uk woohoo!
I cant wait for my physical copy of ... Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 3 Everything else in this poll i will skip
I wouldn't say we're in a drought but there doesn't seem to be a lot of games coming that I'm interested in, unfortunately.
No thanks, just waiting on Hyrule Warriors next week, thank you.
To busy playing ps5 to be bothered with this rubbish
NFS, Kingdom Hearts and Game & Watch for me!!
Definitely getting NFS and KH in due time. Not overly interested in Just Dance. But don't we have polls like these in the Thursday press release posts?
@BlubberWhale yeah I’m like 5 hrs in and I’m very much enjoying it. I’m here in Los Angeles and I got my Best Buy order in and it should be ready to pick up in the morning.
Pure Pool is the only upcoming one I'm looking forward to. I've got a massive backlog anyway.
The kingdom hearts game was the only one that I was interested in
Picked up Hot Pursuit Remastered last week for PS4. No other purchases planned for me this year, got enough to be working through, will see what's under the tree at Christmas.
Nothing here for me, but truth be told, I haven't really been playing much anyways. I've been way too busy with other stuff.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit only.
My Game & Watch will be arriving in the post today. I’m waiting for a review of Need for Speed. If it scores well, I’ll buy. I passed on Burnout Paradise.
Game & Watch is arriving this morning. I pre-ordered Need for Speed on the eShop, but alas still not available to play as of 9:20am UK...
I don't understand why they cannot schedule a release for midnight, like they do with their first party titles? Does anyone know why we have to wait? Release date is the 13th November... and bricks and mortar retail is open... it's pretty poor service really.
If I can find one I’d pick up a game and watch. KH though I’d rather they release collections of the original games first before being spoiled on events in KH3 that I’ve not played or fragmentary passage.
I love handhelds, so the Game & Watch is a must for me
Naww, all the super low ps4 sales have won over anything that's coming this month and even last.
Just waiting for that European FF7 and FF8 Physical to drop.
@adh56 Awesome, congrats!!
actually i more interested in playing Monster Hunter Rise then this games(i know Monster Hunter Rise is a 2021 release).
@sandman89 Dang it EA, you had one job.
Just got my Game & Watch delivered! It's a lot lighter than I thought. Screen is really good. TBH I'm not very good at Mario games though I do find them cute and the chip tunes are amazing.
Yeah. Sniper Elite 4 that comes out Tuesday.
Nothing until MH: Rise, unless LoZ or Prime 4 comes out before then.
@TG16_IS_BAE Once you buy a product, it ceases being your money. They don’t tend to lose their court cases either so 🤷♂️
Shocking Xmas line up!
Sakuna for sure!
@arabiansanchez No
@adh56 When was the last time you held an NES controller?
Recently got Xenoblade Chronicles DE, so that's going to be it on the Switch front for awhile, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is probably next on the agenda.
@TG16_IS_BAE NES Mini classic and the NES Joy Cons they sold a couple years ago
@adh56 Cool. On your NES mini and joy cons, are the buttons shoved all the way to the bottom, or are they centered halfway up the controller?
Nothing for me. I love the Switch but what is coming for the holidays? The catalog is looking bare bones.
I will probably pick up need for speed after Christmas since my wife puts me under embargo every year starting mid October. Same for game and watch so hopefully there will be a restock in the new year...
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is conspicuously absent from this list, even more so given the reminder @BlubberWhale gave about the UK launch date.
Definitely tempted to pull the trigger on Kingdom Hearts since the demo was a joy, but there's just so much to buy this holiday...
My sights are on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, so nothing interest me.
@TG16_IS_BAE they’re closer to bottom, about the same distance as they look to be on the Game & Watch. The Game & Watch is much bigger overall so it looks different.
@adh56 That’s exactly what I first said :/
@TG16_IS_BAE so you’re more worried about how it looks and Nintendo is more likely focused on how it feels.
@adh56 Dude. I have large hands. When the buttons are that low, it flops around in my grip. Are you high??
@TG16_IS_BAE sorry to hear about your large hands. Btw I don’t do drugs.
@adh56 You’re a piece of work lmfao
Anyway, it was good for the popcorn.
@TG16_IS_BAE ...yes? I truly don’t consider anything I said to be open to debate.
@arabiansanchez Public forum.
@TG16_IS_BAE Agreed. But total non-contribution. Great talk.
Playing Sakuna and loving it. Also Sniper Elite 4 physical next Tuesday in North America.
@arabiansanchez You said you didn’t want to contribute, did you have some kind of change of heart? Speak your mind, otherwise it’s hard to follow you lol
@TG16_IS_BAE I said no such thing. Improve your literacy.
@arabiansanchez “ ..yes? I truly don’t consider anything I said to be open to debate.”
You said you didn’t want to contribute. “Nothing I say is open to debate.” That’s the height of non-contribution. And it’s literally five posts above your denial. What a weirdo, Jesus Christ 🥳
Need for Speed HP and that is all.
I have too many games waiting in line to be played. No need to waste more money now
I just bought Asassin creed black flag, bec. of the sale.
I am also gonna buy sniper elite 4, awesome genre and hyrule warriors.
@sandman89 its 30 fps on Xbox One S and base PS4 too
