Spongebob is the most exciting by far!

Would be interested in Legend of Heroes if we had any of the previous releases on Switch. Falcom really done us dirty on both this and Ys

Yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

This one looks so slick! It’s always exciting to buy from the publisher directly

Update: it just links you to different distributors

I’m in America, so I never got a chance to play Disaster: Day of Crisis. I’ve never heard anyone say it was amazing or a must play. But I would love for a small team to bring over that weird, lost Monolith gem

The rumor that would lift my poor heart in the “unprecedented times” would be that EA is bringing the original Unravel (and that there will be a physical release in at least one territory)

But also I just like directs. I’d have liked one

I git Kirby Mass Attack on DS, and Resident Evil: Revelations on Switch!

Mass Attack has some of the all time greatest sprite work! And it does scratch that Pikmin itch just a little!

Resident Evil Revelations is no RE4, and I don’t have the systems to play the REmakes... but it too is filling the void in a series that I love. I’m glad it’s on Switch!!

I want it. Ahhh

This, Paper Mario, Spongebob and Darksiders: Genesis would honestly make this year one of my favorites

I would buy all of these!!!

I am very excited for this studio!!!

That Indie Showcase has been the highlight of the year honestly.

I picked up a 3DS a few weeks ago, I’d never owned one and my partner has been hogging the Switch on account of Animal Crossing.

Every game is a brand new experience and I feel like I’ve achieved gaming Nirvana! I finished Link Between Worlds and Rayman 3D. (I also Tried Professor Layton and realized I might be too dumb)

But this weekend it’s all about Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey! It was the only game at Target that wasn’t a Nintendo first party, so I jumped in blind. This game is friggin wild!

These lists are often... frustrating. Nintendo is my very favorite company, and they make all of my favorite series. However these lists always have my least favorite games dominating them. Pokemon and Smash, in the DS/Wii era it was so many “casual” games.

I know these games are what keep the company afloat and able to do other things. It’s just boring I guess. I wish the series I like sold as well.

I am very into it! I have a present mortuary on buying new games, but if it gets a physical copy I will be there!!

I got ahold of a 3ds for the first time in my life and I feel like the world is full of endless possibilities! I am starting with Link Between Worlds, but I’d like to play the Layton games too! Also there is a mario game I’ve never played and... just wow!

@OorWullie I wouldn’t give the edge to either. It’s a Banjo Kazooie vs Mario 64 type thing. Two very different games but both excellent

Lucky is less of story and clever writing, but far more consistently fun and stronger graphically. Hat in Time does more interesting things with its world and characters but is frustrating with some of its mechanics and looks a tad more dated.

Provided Covid doesn’t knock down these smaller devs and their best efforts, we are in for an absolute avalanche of wonderful 3d platformers this year 😍😍😍

It’s about god darn time.

I love the second one, would buy it for sure. Especially if they threw it up on a physical release over in Europe

@Phostachio I’m just not at a point in my life where I feel like defending a 7.5 is a good use of my time. Play it, don’t play it? Live your life man

My favorite memory of this game was defending it all of 2018 as “actually pretty good!” And then wondering why I would put effort into defending a game that was like a 7.5

I’d like Darksiders 3 the most.

Final Fantasy XV? I guess I haven’t paid much attention

I am cautious because this game is a week after Xenoblade and they are both huge RPGs. But I love to see a physical release for a title I am skeptical of. I want to be able to sell it back if it’s just not my thing

@Desrever Quest felt like a missed opportunity. They said they would do an RPG and I think we all wanted it to be set in the universe like Heist or Dig :/

Biggest wish would be a SteamWorld Dig 3. I prefer to think of that as the “mainline” series and then continue to tell side stories with different genres as it goes on.

I just love this universe they’ve created

SteamWorld Quest is the only nonessential game in this series, and it is still very good.

I am looking forward to whatever they do next!

My friend from work is letting me borrow his Wii! So I’m hoping to revisit Twilight Princess, Zack and Wiki, and Mario Galaxy!

Pokemon at the end was the worst!!!! I know this is irrational, but the whole thing would have been better if they had put that somewhere else instead of sliding that in as “one more thing”

Ahhhh!

Even if I have agreed with this sentiment a little before now, seeing it written out in this manner makes it feel gross.
There are plenty of resources on these islands or else opportunities to get more yourself. This is a greedy mindset, and someone needs to learn to share!!

I have just gotten into the Witcher 3, and animal crossing comes out at the perfect time to play it’s foil.

But I’m not in the same situation as most people. I work in a grocery store and if I can say this without setting off the censors - it’s hell. We are stocking shelves and running out as soon as we’ve stocked. I’m so busy all the time. But the company knows that it’s more stressful than ever so they’ve raised over time to an insane rate that I couldn’t NOT go work all the time... right? sigh

As a backlog clearing professional, I would add just a few things that help me.

1. Be as scrupulous as you like!
—— there are too many games in the world that look neat and no one will ever play everything if the buy Willy nilly. I only buy Switch games, and will only buy it if it has a physical release. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part if a game looks anywhere from a 7-8 range and it is digital only I will skip it!

2. Make rewards!
—— There are certain games that look promising, but that I will only allow myself to buy if I finish a required number of other games first. I had to finish 10 games before I purchased the Witcher 3, and that worked out perfectly! Other rewards were for things like Final Fantasy 10. I still have yet to buy it because I have to do the post game on Dragon Quest 11. I really want to get FFX, so now I am motivated to actually pick up DQXI again. Etc

I genuinely feel that this was the best Indie World yet! There are three games that look like a must-get for this summer.

I’d bet they heard the gripes about “too many same-y pixel graphics too” which I appreciate. Many of these games gave me GameCube vibes

I was obsessed with Oxenfree for like 6 months. I’m trying to get my significant other to commit to playing Afterparty with me, but we are struggling

@SuperCharlie78 I agree about Okami!!! I like it very much and it plays like I wish so many other games would... why does it feel like it goes on for so long? What do you think it could do better?

I finally started the Witcher 3 last night. I am just a little ways into it, but I can already see why it’s so popular. I am never bored, even in the longest conversations! It’s all so good

I have cleared my proper backlog, and am trying not to finish Darksiders Genesis too quickly. So I’ve been diving into the dungeon of games I gave up on with out intent to return to.
Minit is the first of these games that I dug up! Once I googled help for the part I was stuck on I zoomed through the rest. It was wonderful!

Tonight I am going to give Mulaka a second look!

I am playing Darksiders Genesis! It’s just wonderful! I thought the level structure would end up as a turn off,
But the hub world for them ends up being a nice compromise.

I also got Fe on the eShop for 5$ and I haaaaaaaate it! I do not understand the mechanics of this game at all!

THQNordic is my favorite 3rd party Dev for a lot of reasons, and I see this as only good news.

If they use the studio in the way I would, they would have them making comparable ports of their biggest games heading to PS4. This deal could bring us Biomutant, Destroy All Humans, and (this one is just for me I guess) Darksiders 3.

Aside from a few egregious collectors editions, I think that THQNordic has so much capital because of their smart release decisions so far. The overhead on ports is so low, and by all accounts their strategic releases mixed in with a few smart newer titles have bought them a lot of good will. I have 14 Nintendo published games and 7 THQNordic games, no other publisher even cracks 3 titles on my Switch!

I’m in love.

Why does this website want me to say more than that?

The original THQ was bankrupt in part by their over ambitious special editions. Would like to see THQNordic... not do that.

Also hey lovely person, any plans on reviewing this here game?

I am picking up Darksiders: Genesis today! It’s the first game I have bought since Shovel Knight back in December.

So while it’s been fun clearing out my backlog (I did it guys!) I am looking forward to a new experience!

This feels like a fix. Like they are hyping the content with every intent to eventually release it.

What do we have to look forward to from EA? Star Wars? Modern FIFA? Honestly it’s a big no thanks from many Nintendo gamers. Move around

I am excited to try this out now that it has a cartridge.

But tbh I’ve been ignoring this news story. There is so much happening in the world that what’s happening in China just feels too far away to devote mental energy to. That community will be in my prayers.

Rocco is my favorite

I was on the fence. But this is a nice way for the publisher to make the decision for me.

I still haven’t gotten the Witcher 3 yet, should be getting that around this time

After making it to the 3rd Idolasphrere in Tokyo Mirage Sessions I am taking a break. It’s my second playthrough, the first having been summer of 2016 on the Wii U. I remember the game as pretty much perfect!

However I n the nearly 4 years since Tokyo Mirage Sessions has come out and my last playing of it, two things in particular about myself has changed. The first of which is that I cannot stand texting, and won’t be bothered to keep up with anyone in my life via texting save for my partner... and there is so much texting!

Also my general tolerance for anime nonsense is far less. :I I’m sure I’ll go back to it soon enough. But somehow that’s the last game in my backlog! Woe is me

Shout out to the games where the Switch version is the definitive version!

New Super Lucky’s Tale
Dragon Quest 11
Alien Isolation

All come to my mind

I was very confused thinking this was Tokyo RPG Factory. But nah.

Could be real neat though!

i also love how hard they are pushing Darksiders Genesis. It could be just that the schedule is a little barren, but on the other hand THQNordic has supported the Switch better than just about everyone else

I’ve been following SpongeBob pretty closely, and this is the first I’ve heard of a date for it. This means I have at least one game every month until May! And that’s a good place to be

I did pick up Tokyo Mirage Sessions yesterday, and I hope to get to that at some point.

The big fish of the weekend is finishing Oninaki. I believe I am at the very end, and I am just so happy with this game. The upgrade system has had me grinding for weeks - something I don’t believe that I have done since Kingdom Hearts 2 so long ago. The story too is unique, and more competently told than any JRPG I can think of in quite some time.

Tokyo RPG Factory is such a weird studio. I Am Setsuna wasn’t terrific, though I had such a weird spark to it. The snow aesthetic and piano soundtrack gave it a real flavor despite its mediocrity. Lost Sphear felt even more generic from the demo (though I could be convinced to take a second look.) But with Oninaki I think they have a genuine hit on their hands! I want to see what they will do next! The art is great, the music is beautiful! I don’t hate any of the characters. I can’t wait to get home and finish it

I let out an audible “eww” when I saw the art style. Are folks really into that?

I kinda think it could be snap 2... it’s the only thing that would make everyone happy

Ooh!! I might get this actually!
