“This philosophy extends to the whole game with its focus on co-op and while, yes, you can make it through all the obstacles and challenges alone if you choose, you’re missing out on a critical component of the experience by not having a friend on hand to enjoy it with you.”

Ha...so like real-life, then! That sucks, as my crew of co-op candidates is rapidly deteriorating due to my advanced, mid-thirties, age.! Still want, though...

Damn!! I JUST bought the first one (physically) for Christmas. I couldn’t just wait for this inevitability, could I.? Ugh, that’s gonna be a tough re-sell...sealed be damned.

Only ever played KHII, so I’m WAY more for Roxas than Sora... Make it happen; Anime, Sword-boys (soy.?) for the Win!!!

Shovel Knight (Wii U) refused to go along with Nintendo’s ridiculous confirm/cancel set up...which was pretty cool! As mentioned above, the Big 3 should agree on a uniform set up. Since XBox and PS are pretty much the same...looks like ‘we’ll’ have to change. It’s like the metric system and...inches, feet, miles, etc.; why does one group have to different for (seemingly) different’s sake?! As an American, I say this: Nintendo, don’t sink to our level.!

Mama Mia, the m-m-m-mammories.!!!

Kinda pissed they ported this (possessive, much.?), but this is a GREAT game! If you can get past the niche storyline and characters, you’ll find a rewarding and deep game that’s challenging, but not super-grinding. Helps that I visited Tokyo just after finishing the game (coincidence), but yeah, definitely exceeded already lofty expectations upon completion.

Jesus! Not me, and my backlog is at 24 with just the Switch after only 1 year! And I still don’t have enough time, ha.

I like #19’s logic for Dante, except Ken’s in the first pic.? Perhaps hinting at 3rd party inclusion? Oh well, I guess playing as Waluigi might be more of a 2021 kinda thing...

UI Menus/Folders and easier online-with-friends connectivity are TOPS! Gotta say though, ‘you’ blew my mind with the whole ‘amiibo-unlocking-exclusive-backgrounds idea; WOW, that would be tremendous!

4 out of the Top 30, eventually 9. Not bad for an American hapa...

Where’s the Ryan game.?

This article was bloomin’ illuminatin’! Well met, mateys!

The first one...so Hard!?!!

This game has the potential to change THE GAMING WORLD as we know it! Wanted to comment on it now for the gamer-cred if it’s as awesome as it could be..

Hello, Hestia!

“An HD remake?!??” Ha, next people will be like, “wait, I’m scheduled to get an X-ray tomorrow. AN X-ray, not ‘uh ecks-rae,’ whaaaaaa?! English is still the best language, though...and our characters? Sublime.

Just started playing again (one of five games I never let ‘fall off’ the main menu...), so this is joyous news! $5 kinda sux, but as mentioned above, I’ve gotten 50+ hours for $10 thus far; easy decision. Fantastic game!

Super Mario Party and Steamworld Dig2: $50, Woo Hoo!!

Sweet T’s! What a titillating, albeit useless, trailer!

Almost downloaded this last night due to sale: WHEEEEEEEEEEWW!!

Backlog Anxiety: +30!

That face, tho...

@LegendOfStewart
Sorry to hear that; I got mine right when the preorder opened, but I work on a computer most of the time, so being ‘available’ and ready with the 16 digits (23.?) around noon, November 7th was easier for me than others. Paying scalpers is beyond aggravating when you ‘miss the boat’ on such titles, agreed.
@JaxonH
Oh MAN! Could that happen? That would kill me! If there’s one thing I DO NOT LIKE about this company, it’s there need/desire to center the title on the spine!! Nitpicky-Absolutely-but, I mean, I’m a physical-only freak (except very few situations), so it comes with the territory. Also, no other company I’ve seen does this with their games, so, cmon...what gives?!

I just wish my entire library (ok...80%) wasn’t rendered obsolete by the (beloved) Switch. Tokyo Mirage Sessions hurt, but if they port Xenoblade: X, I might as well pack it away...

@MisterKorman
Ha, totally; we find ourselves in a no-win world often, don’t we.?! Admittedly, I am one of those physical hold-outers, but when the time comes that one of my games I’ve wanted goes physical, I STFU and just open the coffers! Now, with Night in the Woods (etc.) and possibly dubba-dippin, well...aaaaarrrrghhh!!

It took until #52 to talk about skipping over Darksiders 3 (...the one with Fury.?). Indeed, what the Hell?! Bless you, @DrDaisy for sharing my ire!

@HolyGeez: you have made my YEAR for also remembering that sweet, sweet game! I was just a wee lad then, but probably dumped 40+ hours on that chess-like gem! Ah...Damn, good times!

@Mgene15:
“Relax, Bro!” And work on your grammar, silly Goemer.

@Mgene15
Gameboy ‘75. Is. Your. Daddy.!!

@SKTTR: Agreed on the greatness of the game via its comprehensive catalog, BUT, I can cry about what they did to my Luigi! Former #1 overall main man (since ‘01, mind you) is now relegated to...8th, if that? I tear up just thinking of his wretched Plunger grab and 2” tornado...

On an related ‘no one cares whom you want’ note: PLEASE, Sakurai-san, Waluigi and Skull Kid!!! Please.

One here for Phys...

Not looking ‘too deep,’ it’s happening.

Loved these games; ‘just’ bought 2 for my GC-enabled Wii. This news makes me wanna fire it up again...

Meet the Focker..

Should’ve been a pack-in game for $350 from ‘the start’ (at least, Holiday 2018). Bold strategy, for sure, but, Cotton, I think it would’ve paid off.

“...you’ll be thankful for the option to skip to the end and just get the stats boost.”

‘Peggy, that’s not real boggle.!’

BLUE LIONS!! One day, that is..

Like Seymour Fry, “I will wait for you...”

Got Xenoblade Chronicles 2 special edition for $80! Like Toad getting shrooms from Kart (64), I was like, ‘Wahoo!’

No Ys VIII or Setsuna (if Sphear’s here, than so should ‘I’...); then Neptunia, Steamworld Quest, Romancing SaGa 2, Cosmic Star and Deltarune (again, if Under’s here, then so should D:c1).

Also, ditto @many: RPGs, in this freaky mind, are turn-based affairs only. Got a grid while alternating turns of action.? You’re strategy, a separate category, again, in my twisted perception.

Bonus ditto @many: at release, both Earthlock and YIIK were generally panned. What gives? Was everyone, including reviewers found on this site, wrong? Hmm..

The question remains: Johnny Chimpo DLC?!?

@Dakotastomp: exactly! No outrage here...but bring up the cast of the Witcher (or ANYTHING not EXACTLY like it once ‘was’) and it’s “I HATE SJW, diversity, MeToo, a world where white males Only have Most of the power” Proud Boys behind keyboards propaganda. Change everything, I say, and toast a marshmallow to a meaningless world on fire.

@ChromaticDracula
YES! THIS! Scrolled through the comments just to see if anyone else was miffed by the exclusion of any sort of in-world map! Wandering around aimlessly was the worst (especially when World’s became ‘updated’), and they could’ve just made it another collectible to hunt down! This game looks to fix that problem...but I’m glad I’m not alone.

Icons aren’t make or break for me, but I can understand deleting or, more appropriately (opinion), starting up 12 other games to rid oneself of its unsightliness. Speaking personally, my physical collection is semi-ruined because The Adventure Pals folks decided to center their title rather than ascend from the top (arrrrrgh, am I right?!). I also think two/three icon options, mentioned by many of you lovelies, for each game would be monumental, OCD-wise. That said, NINTENDO: give us the Wii/Wii U tiled layout option! Make each icon customizable in their layout (preset sorting options are a good start...) and folders for those inclined. I’ve had this thing for just six months, and the single, scroll-right layout is becoming depressing (in the ‘how is this the only default option?’ kind of way)...

To the third Q: No, no I won’t.

Is the shoveler pictured behind Link and Zelda from the original Necrodancer.?

...featuring Dharkon.

You lost my sale at ‘10 physical games.’ 20...maybe, but 10?! I have six already (8 if you count pending receptions of pre-purchased Iconoclasts and Bloodstained) and have owned the system for a staggering 4 months! Great idea, though!

Answer: Hideous is what.

Numbers don’t lie! GX is superior in nearly every facet. Too hard, probably, but leaps beyond X (so much so that an article hardly warrants that argument, let alone the contrary).
