This is like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with lightsabers and John Williams. This looks freaking amazing! How did I miss this?!

I'm not going to say it, but I would like to see a game that may or may not have a lot of bugs in it.

From now on, please refer to this game as a "socc-RPG"

If it didn't come to Switch this generation, then I'd be shocked if we didn't see at least half of this list come to the next generation.

Please, no more double releases. Pokemon and Atlus. Stop it. Everyone hates. it.

That's like asking which child is your favorite. I can't choose.

I'll make my own Mario game! With blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the Mario game!

So... about that hshop...

This is the first time I've heard about Shadowverse: Champion's Battle, and that sounds right up my alley. I'll have to check that one out!

I would love to see Playstack sue for damages for something this absurd.

There's a super easy work-around on Switch. Create an account set in a region that the game hasn't been delisted. Buy it, download it, and then play it on your regular account.

@chardir I was playing it this morning... and I can confirm this is no trick. This is essentially game design perfection.

That's two 10/10 game in one week (Pentiment and Balatro). I'm excited to see if Unicorn Overlord will makes it three.

I never bought it or played it. When it came out I thought, "This looks good, but like a test run." If the sequel builds upon the first game and doesn't run and look like a GameCube game, then I'll definitely pick up the sequel.

I'm torn on this. I emulate games all the time, but only those games and systems that I can no longer obtain games or the console at a retail store. Like, I think NES through WiiU and 3DS are fair game, but it you can buy the game, you should buy it and support the original publisher and creators. Current gen games and consoles really shouldn't be on the table when it comes to emulation.

It's true that Yuzu hasn't done anything illegal, but they definitely made it easy for Nintendo to lose countless sales due to piracy and using their software.

I played the demo, and now this game is one of my most anticipated games of the year.

My joycons have, yet again, started to go on the fritz, so if this turns out to be good, I might have to check this out.

Did not expect to see this, but this looks like a pretty brilliant way to utilize the joycon.

I am genuinely okay with a Switch 2 delay if it means they are taking the time to completely ace this next console. The Switch was nearly flawless in my book. If Nintendo gets this right, they might make what some might consider to be a perfect console. So, please, Nintendo, take your time if it means you get it right.

I've been watching enough YouTube shorts that I half expected one of these options to just say, "Your Mom"

I have a prediction about the Switch 2. It going to come out. I'm sure of it.

@GrailUK Maybe because, oh, I don't know, there a massive gaming market in a country of 216 million people loving in Brazil.

I'm not saying I believe these rumors, but I am saying that Brazil is a pretty massive piece of the worldwide gaming market.

Oh my gosh, FINALLY! I have been waiting for this to come out.

I had never played Link's Awakening before. I tried the remake when it first came out, but I bounced off of it. I tried it again last year, and I clicked with it more than I could have ever anticipated. The Switch remake quickly became one of my favorite Zelda games of all time.

Do you know da way to dis statue?

Armello caught my eye. I've never heard of it and it looks great.

I've been tempted by P5 Tactica for awhile now. It's down to $20 on Amazon, but the size of my backlog is getting embarrassing at this point. 😅

I'm excited to work on my backlog.

$15 shipping... oof

This is art. Pure art.

Celeste is in my top 10 games of all time. I've played through it multiple times, and I love it more than I could write in this little box. I preface with that because I'm about to be honest. I've been playing this. And, as a fun little commemorative game, it's really cute... but it definitely shows that it was made in "a week-ish." Precision platforming and 3D platforming mix about as well as oil and water.

I enjoyed both Toree games, so I just picked this one up. Thanks for the rec, NintendoLife!

This might be my favorite piece of news of the year so far. I can't wait!

Sure, but what's with all of the hate? I said this earlier today on the other article about Palworld, but it seems like no one at NintendoLife is actually playing the game, but they're more than happy to throw criticism at it. Play the game first, please.

Have you read or watched reviews of this game? It is waaaay more than a Pokémon knock-off.

What we really need is another Sonic game. It's been weeks since we had the last one.

I think it's a pretty safe bet to say a handful of the announcements at the game awards will be coming to Nintendo's next console, but they legally couldn't announce it yet.

Let the questionable fan art commence!!!

These look FANTASTIC. It will probably never happen, but I'd love to play something with this concept.

I was caught off guard by just how many games were on this list... and then I was caught even more off guard by how many of these I already own. Hahaha!

Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. That being said, this list is wrong. Haha!

Picking this up on Game Pass, but I'm still making my way through P5: Royal... and a short game that is not. Haha!

HELL YEAH!!! Way to go, Nintendo! Two GOTY nominees. I love that Mario went from over a decade of relatively stale 2D platformers to being a GOTY nomination. Way to go, buddy!

I would love a Wind Waker anime TV show. I feel like Link and the Pirates could adapt really well to a comedy.

@FirstEmperor There are two interpretations of what JRPG means. 1) An RPG made in Japan, or 2) a genre of video game based on traditional Japanese RPG mechanics. Yes, Sea of Stars was made in Canada, but the genre is turn-based RPG, or traditional JRPG. It's kind of like how Bloodborne and Elden Ring are Western-style RPGs, but both were created in Japan.

I've heard is described this way, can a TV be considered anime if it wasn't created in Japan? It's kind of the same concept.

@Eel RE4 won in the Sony category because in the time frame that these awards span (Spider-Man 2 missed the window) Sony did not release a single game.

@NintendoByNature Okay, fun story about where Cocoon came from. There were two director guys that worked together to create LIMBO and Inside. One of them was more of the world/atmosphere designers and the other was the world/level designers. The two of them had a falling out. The atmosphere guy went on to create Somerville and the level design guy created Cocoon.

@Vexx234 I mean, not really? Sea of Stars and Cocoon aren't from AAA Studios. I mean, even Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian are/were more of a AA studio compared to their competitors.

@gloom They... don't? Joystick Awards give awards away for each console's best game and then an overall winner. You did read the article, right?

These comment sections remind me just how much I dislike GOTY discourse.

@VoidofLight I mean, Sea of Stars won best indie game and that's a JRPG... so clearly they take the genre seriously at least a little bit.
