Lots of people here seem to have dogs named "Dog". /jk

I'm looking forward to the review, if only to know if it looks better playing handheld or docked (and if the TV resolution makes a big difference).

@Cheez I'm kind of surprised to see a Pokémon game included. Even though that's likely because the release timing helped, it's still a pretty great, not perfect game that only people that know nothing of game development or are projecting super hard would call lazy. I still expect any of the other nominees to get the award.

I think some people didn't notice this isn't a "Top 10", but "the 10 best cases in no specific order". I mean, it starts at #1.
And I really appreciate that Turnabout for Tomorrow made it to the list.

@Silly_G 1221, not counting movies and specials.

I'll miss it, alright. Or at least try to.
Sometimes it sucks to be already on board for a game and have to endure marketing's attempts to appeal to those that aren't through spoilers until release day.

If Ian didn't have his hands full with writing (which can be just as important a role), he would have this in the bag.

None of the Gen IV starers are my favorites individually, but they do form the best ensemble.

That said, I hope we don't need to gather 100 of those coins to get a pokémon. I was barely able to get 2 before the golden pokéstops become rarer.

I think it makes sense that Home won't be immediately compatible with Scarlet/Violet at release. They need to make sure there won't be any bugs and issues like it was the case with BDSP, and I imagine they would want to give some sort of grace period so people can start the game as authentically as possible.

It might be too soon, but I hope Kirby and the Forgotten Land is included.

@Peach64 Which mythicals are you still missing? Depending on which ones they are and what you can trade for them, maybe I can help.

@Browny Or maybe those are just supposed to be commemorative events for people that are obviously not going to cheese the whole game with them (and new players can't either due to needing to progress to get them to obey), and this kind of thinking seems to be in extremely bad faith.

Some people here are too melodramatic.

Some of these picks are surprisingly inspired.

"Bravely Default II was well-received by fans" I'm not going to judge as I have yet to personally experience the game, but considering how I have never seen a single person praise the game in any way, shape or form, I wonder if I've just been looking at the wrong places.

@SirCarbs Bottle Caps have been a thing since Sun/Moon, and made significantly less annoying to get in later games.

This reminds me of the ridiculous sandwiches Shaggy makes.

I really hope they're not doing a repeat of the Sun/Moon marketing campaign and revealing too much before the release date.

The Gerudo are really merciless when it comes to taking weapons from trespassers.

With the consistency with which Konami has been releasing those Castlevania collections, we may see SotN coming eventually, maybe included in a likely DS collection (I mean, the Advance collection also had Dracula X, a SNES game). That said, the Sony-funded updated version (the one with a redone dub and script) may be less likely.

I haven't received anything yet, but hopefully I'm included.

@alexybubble Believe it or not, for the longest time the only Gen V pokémon in the game has been crustle - that hermit crab with the huge rock block on its back.

It's a bit absurd that after all this time, zoroark is still only the second pokémon from Gen V to be added (while the same batch includes the third Gen III pokémon with sableye).

Pretty great review, and definitely another one for my list. The closest thing I got to a (minor) complaint is the fact the game is another prequel - I'm curious to know in more detail what happened with some of those characters after the events of the original story.

Hopefully this means we actually see actual, big-name, recognizably Nintendo games properly localized to Portuguese - although they did already start with Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo Olympics and Mario Party Superstars.

It's a shame this is one of those shinies that just look like the same 'mon under a different light.

Those who played the original version of La-Mulana will know this was a long time coming.

@Dr_Corndog I played it 100%, and I certainly found the stories more interesting than they did.

@DiggleDog This feels like an exaggeration.

@Pillowpants It's a pretty alright, pretty difficult, and pretty-looking classic (level-based) Castlevania. Nothing groundbreaking, but worth the try if you have the interest and the disposable income.

@Axecon It's somewhat implied that Remilia lies about being related to Dracula to make her seem like a bigger deal.

And it's a shame Luna Nights never got a proper review here. Nor did the first Koumajou Remilia. Nor the actual canon fighting game Antimony of Common Flowers. It feels that after the first few Touhou fangames on the Switch, the folks at Nintendo Life decided it wasn't worth giving the series any attention.

Simon was also playable years ago on DreamMix TV World Fighters on the Gamecube and PS2, which included Twinbee, Optimus Prime and Master Higgins from Adventure Island.

I can't really comment about the trailer, since I'm trying my best to avoid any and all promotional materials before release (aside from most things related to version exclusives).

@Cero You must think you're so funny.

Ultra Space changes people.

This all hinges on a single line from a 2001 game that might not have been a very accurate translation.

Man, I wish the Phoenix Wright Trilogy was available in cartridges outside of Japan. I just looked it up, and R$500+ is not worth it just to own a physical version.

@Kirby_Girl He's publishing videos in both English and Japanese.

Ooh, I really don't like the eyes.

I'm honestly partial to gens 3, 5 and 7.

You guys just missed the DLC for the Etrian Odyssey titles on the 3DS (not including EO IV and Untold 1). Those include access to items that make the games less grindy, new quests that often involve new areas and bosses, and even extra character classes.

The problem with these statements is that for legal reasons, we rarely get any word on if something actually happened, so it can be easy to assume that they're doing nothing at all.

I'm actually still undecided (leaning slightly more towards Scarlet), so it might be good to check this later.

@Browny Comments like this make me realize how some people love to romanticize disdain. I can't say I care much for this attitude.

I feel that the main argument why you stopped liking the games as much is a big part of the reason why they changed Paper Mario so much.
Videogame fandoms are weird.

I'm hoping they don't reveal too much like they did for Sun/Moon.

Man, and there's still four more of those to go (assuming Pyra and Mythra don't get separate amiibos). This may take a while to be done.

Hopefully the Goemon games are in the cards.

I feel that the main reason I liked Octopath's story was because I was able to compromise my expectations with what the developers intended.
Anyway, this game seems promising.
