I was expecting all reviews to be uploaded by now. This is a first-day buy for me but wanted to be sure that reviews were good too.

@Branches Yes, if you had an unlimited budget and time to play all the games that seem at least a little interesting to you, then yes, who would care about critics' reviews. But as that is not the case for most people and you need to choose, universal acclaim like this definitively encourages you to try the game. I played 8 out of 10 of those games listed above, and for me, critics were right

Oh I forgot about this one. It is going to be a really hard time deciding which games to buy with Triangle Strategy, Kirby, this one and so many others launching soon

Best Nintendo Direct in years for me. So many games releasing in so little time and without having budget will require decisions. MK8 the best announcement

So, leakers were right this time? They also mentioned news regarding MK9 and Silksong. Zelda title, and Splatoon 3 news seem like a must. My wish? A new Fire Emblem

Great Timing for the update! I just finished SMTV today and my next game in the backlog is either this or Mario+Rabbids, depending on the mood

No Money...
Bought two games this month during the sale. Never thought that the reviews were going to be so good for PLA. Maybe in a couple of months

If it has a better story than Octopath (Not Difficult), then it is a day one for me. Looks Amazing.

"Surprisingly Difficult" a Pokemon game of today?!? Now they got my attention again.
I bought a couple of other games in the latest eshop sale thinking that this would be a Monster Hunter for little kids... Maybe I was wrong

For me too, this is an end-of-the-day unwind game with friends.
I tend to play it on PS4 instead of switch, but this weekend I sent the PS4 back to my brother (we take turns with it, switch is mine), and playing Fortnite back on Switch is a bigger downgrade than I remembered. But still fun

Saw this and went directly to the eshop and bought Tetris Connected. Sadly I remembered that my Nintendo Swith Online subscription ended last month and maybe I should renew it to play this online, something I did not plan for

I got really excited about this one when first announced, but the interest has been decreasing since, especially as it has been moving from a BOTW like to an MH-like game with each trailer and update, which I do not prefer. If the reviews are fine and there is at least some degree of challenge in the game (something pokemon has totally lost in the last years), it can still be a good option

Okay, this might be the right time for Disco Elysium or Tetris effect, or maybe both? Or maybe Blasphemous?! Or Death's Door?!!
In any case, wallet is going to hurt

Seemed like a great list until I reached the first places. How is it possible for someone that has played more than 1 game in his life to put Pokemon Sw/Sh so high? Splatoon was too high too. The rest seems fine

Great news! Heard a lot of great things about this one. Day one for me

This is my first entry in the SMT games and it has been much better than expected. The story is not great so far (30 hours in), but the gameplay is superb. I am playing it on hard, having to grind a little, but never had to repeat a boss more than 2-3 times. It forces you to understand the mechanics and build a solid competent team according to the occasion in that difficulty. And I love it. Game of the year so far for me.

This game looks so cool. The only thing keeping me from buying it is the reviews saying it is too short. But it just looks so good

Tetris Effect may be a good choice to get now and play in between some of my SMTV sessions.
Sadly, I was hoping for a Disco Elysium discount too but seems like it is not happening.

Emerald 1st.
All of Gen2 in second place due to the second region post-game

@link12684 Already bought it and already enjoying it on hard difficulty, and I am happier than ever that I bought it instead of this game because of that exactly. It is something that will never happen, but just imagine a mainline Pokemon game with that level of challenge in the main story. Perfection

@Rpg-lover absolutely. But each game is easier than the last and that is not good either. You cannot compare Gold/Silver era with the SwSh. I literally finished it without using a single revive or losing a battle. It was lame. I would add difficulty options as most jrpgs do these days. I am not asking for SMT´s hard or Dragon Quest´s Draconian Quests difficulty (It would be amazing), but give us something more

People have grown with this franchise for over 20 years now and it is a shame that every game seems easier than the last. I do not know if they target small kids (which could definitively tackle a more challenging game too) or what.
There has been absolutely no challenge in the latest entries, and that is a big NO for me

"Over-levelling is very easy"... It seems to be getting worse with each entry. So happy that I used my money on SMTV instead.

Ok, for an apparent mistake in my local eshop, the game is at half-price right now. I had many doubts about this game, but knowing they will fix the mistake anytime now as no other eshop has it at half price, I had no option but to buy it. Hope it is great!

I still do not know if this game is for me. I love jrpgs, but never played this franchise, or persona before. The story is a very, very, very important thing for me in jrpgs. So, a game like Octopath that had amazing gameplay and graphics was still meh for me, and I tend to prefer jrpgs with worlds full of npcs, and side stories, and this seems like a very empty world. Will wait for user reviews for now.

Not a bad list, but I would have chosen Ocarina of Time instead of BOTW. Also, RDR2 would have been a perfect inclusion too

Looks amazing and I love the combat. I just hope that the story is much better compared to Octopath Traveler

Still not sure about getting the expansion pack, maybe I will even consider canceling the current subscription in the near future with Smash´s DLCs over and no MK9 on the horizon. But if I decide to get it, I would definitively wait for Majora´s Mask and Banjo Kazooie

Well for me, earning in South-American currency and paying games in USD, anything that is $60 should not be under 15-20h to be worth the price. For example, even though I loved while it lasted, Link´s Awakening for Switch was a disappointment due to it´s lenght

12-hour campaign. I love Metroid and really want to get my hands on this one, but full price is too much for this one. I already made that mistake with Link´s Awakening. It needs to be at least +25h to justify the price (especially living in South America with local currencies).

Strong month. Too strong for my budget.
I like many of those, but for now I will be getting either Metroid or Disco Elysium, depending on how long the first ends up being (looking for a +25 hours campaign to pay full price for it)

I could bet Hollow Knight will be a mii fighter costume. It is really strange we have no Hollow Knight representation yet.
Regarding the last fighter... All those are cool, but I want an original moveset too, and Crash seems boring, so he is the only one that I hope does not get invited

Sakurai: "Mmm, Now they´ll really be surprised when they find out it was Cinderace all along".

Now seriously I will be happy with anybody, maybe except Crash. We don´t need another great character with a boring af moveset like Sonic.

DK64 was my first console game, so the nostalgia hits hard with that one.
I really need another 3D Donkey game. Early year rumours about it broke my heart after getting no news in the last directs

Celeste playability with Ori visuals? I am in.

You simply can´t get mad at this. Just look at the Bloodborne vs Tetris Bracket. I love both but is like comparing Ice Cream vs Lord of the Rings, it makes no sense.
Just relax and watch GTA V win the final against GOW.

@PaulBizkit that may end up increasing Argentina´s prices too. So this could be a good time to buy any title currently available in the ARG web browser shop

I live in Argentina and this is great, mainly because the games are cheaper in the online store here and because there are currently a lot of titles missing. So I hope this launch solves the lack of content that had me going into other regions for Indie Games

@Clyde_Radcliffe Forest Interlude from DKC2 is a must here.

@huntbearpig Been hesitating about it every time it goes on sale too, but it still hasn´t convinced me to buy it. I have a couple more days left

I am really enjoying this one without having spent anything on it tbh. I can see someone with all lvl30 items every now and then, but even then the impact is not determinant if the team is not working together.

Love JRPGs, but this seems just a little tooo Japanese for me.
I´ll wait for reviews after launch

I just need it

Spent an hour and has been fun so far. I think I will keep coming now and then for quick online sessions as an option for Rocket league, smash or others that I always come back to.

Never been a fan of MOBAS, but I definitively will give this a chance. Hey, it is free!

It is funny how many people here are saying they won´t be downloading just because of the China factor. Yeah, everything coming from China is evil and the rest of the companies want the best for the world....

Considering that I am still loving my perfectly working 2017 Switch and the fact that the Oled switch is nothing but a better looking screen (No Exclusives or Higher Power), the real question is if I am finally going to buy a PS5 or the Steam Deck, if any. A matter of exclusives vs (another) portable

I still have a little hope that Nintendo is waiting one month after this release to announce a bigger and proper Zelda 35th collection (not game&watch related). I hope this was a strategy to avoid cannibalizing sales on this one, as I simply do not care about SS. Bring me a Mayora´s Mask +Twilight + WW collection and I will buy for sure.

Looks amazing

Really Happy about this being the famous Swith Pro after all the rumours. Now I know I can continue using my completely fine and working Switch (bought on 2017) without missing potential exclusives or an important hardware update. This seems to be just a stetical upgrade.

Love the picture. Thought I would recognize more characters than I actually do.
