I agree with this list. I have been back playing Mario Golf for Switch lately and there is fun to be had, but it does belong in the lower half of the list. There are some baffling control omissions that are inexcusable.
I had high hopes for this game, but it just didn't seem to deliver and there are so many other great fighting games right now, I have completely lost interest.
It makes sense unfortunately. My sons and their friends are digital-only, wanting to avoid having to switch between discs or cartridges and having the instant gratification of downloading the game the moment they decide they want it. I on the other hand, am so happy that it seems Nintendo is giving us at least one more generation of physical media. Cartridges forever!
It was a good remake overall, but they really dropped the ball with multiplayer. It didn't even come close to touching the online options of an indie game like Wargroove.
What they should do as a thank you to the fans is go back and add rollback netcode to the 30th Anniversary Collection and add online play for Alpha 2. I know if won't happen but it is terrible that they didn't do that in the first place.
Day 1! I'm picking up the Switch cartridge and a digital copy on PS4. I want to see these collections keep coming as well as maybe MvC 4. I wonder if we'll get a release date at EVO next month.
I have put many hundreds of hours into Wargroove, specifically in online matches. Can't wait to play this one next week! By the way, this is a turn-based strategy game. It is not an SRPG.
Definitely playing some Street Fighter VI ranked matches. Also hoping to finish the final level of Advance Wars 2 which will be 100% completion of both games in Reboot Camp. After beating We Love Katamari reroll in a day, I will probably revisit some levels in that game as well.
The original Katamari Damacy is a top 5 game for me and I loved Reroll. I never got to play this sequel and can't wait to play it and see how the gameplay and soundtrack stack up. I have it preordered on PS5. I need a reason to play my ps5 sometimes haha
@WiiWouldLikeToPlay probably for the fact that the BOTW engine was originally designed for the Wii U. An engine designed specifically for the Switch will be better optimized.
I gave it a 9. I am a massive Advance Wars fan (hence my name) and being able to play the campaigns for the first 2 games in one package is amazing. What takes a point away and really disappointed me was the low-effort online multiplayer. Wargroove is an indie Advance Wars-style strategy game, came out a few years ago and is vastly superior as far as online options. They couldn't even implement asynchronous multiplayer matches??

Take your time. Dragon Quest 1+2 and Virtua Fighter 5 REVO come out the day before anyway.
Re: Dragon Quest VII Gets Reimagined For Switch And Switch 2 In Early 2026
I still never got around to playing my 3ds copy. I think I'll try that first. This was the only announcement in the entire direct that excited me.
Re: Nintendo Supposedly Investigating Possible "Swollen Battery" Issue With Switch 2
It's things like this that make me wait several months after launch before buying new hardware.

Re: Don't Worry, Dragon Quest XII Is Still In Development
I really hope we get a reveal on April 2.

Re: Community: What Are Your Favourite Sidequests On Switch?
I love the sidequest in Breath of the Wild where Link is stripped of all his gear and must survive a certain island.
Re: Oops! EVO 2025's Lineup Has Accidentally Been Revealed
Man I was hoping to see Virtua Fighter 5 REVO in there. At least Evo Japan has it.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Ys Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
To anyone that hasn't played Ys VIII, it is just so good. Ys Origin is well worth it too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th September)
Marvel Vs Collection for sure!
Re: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Dev Reveals Nintendo Partnership Was Years In The Making
It was a good remake overall, but they really dropped the ball with multiplayer. It didn't even come close to touching the online options of an indie game like Wargroove.
Re: 'Power Stone' Is Coming To Switch In 'Capcom Fighting Collection 2'
I'm happy this compilation is happening, but I can't believe they left out Alpha 2 Gold
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase & Indie World Announced For Today, 27th August 2024
Marvel vs. Collection release date incoming?
Re: Capcom Wants To Revive All Of Its Legacy Fighting Games On Modern Platforms
What they should do as a thank you to the fans is go back and add rollback netcode to the 30th Anniversary Collection and add online play for Alpha 2. I know if won't happen but it is terrible that they didn't do that in the first place.
Re: Feature: The Next Splatfest May Decide Splatoon 4's Future, So We Make A Case For Every Team
Squid sisters for sure
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Switch Physical Won't Require A Download
Day 1! I'm picking up the Switch cartridge and a digital copy on PS4. I want to see these collections keep coming as well as maybe MvC 4. I wonder if we'll get a release date at EVO next month.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th May)
Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Splatoon Splatfest
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Gets A Small Delay
Can't wait for this!

Come on, Virtua Fighter 6!!
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers
Merry Christmas!!!
Re: Sega Announces New Games In Development For Classic Franchises
Awesome announcements, but I'd trade them all for Virtua Fighter 6.
Re: Ed Boon Excited To Share What's Next For Mortal Kombat 1
Translation: We rushed the game out and will keep adding content that we wish was there at the beginning.
Re: Review: Wargroove 2 - A Must-Play Tactical RPG And A Worthy Successor To Advance Wars
I have put many hundreds of hours into Wargroove, specifically in online matches. Can't wait to play this one next week!
By the way, this is a turn-based strategy game. It is not an SRPG.
Re: Nintendo Infographic Showcases The Games Featured In September's Direct
Can't wait for Wargroove 2, and happy it's coming so soon!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want From A 'Splatoon 4'?
100% less clam blitz 😛

Re: Nintendo Is Giving Out Free Splashtag Titles For Splatoon 3
@Gamergirl4 I use "arcade-hopping samurai"
Re: Nintendo Infographic Showcases The Games Featured In June's Direct
Metal Gear and Mythforce for me. May get them on ps5 though.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2023 - Every Announcement And Game Reveal
The game that may have got my attention most is actually Mythforce. I love the 80s cartoon feel and the coop dungeon crawling looks fun to me.
Re: MythForce Is A First-Person Roguelike With Saturday Morning Cartoon Aesthetics
This game looks great to me! It has so many aspects I would want in a game. If the reviews are good, I am there day 1.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 10th)
Definitely playing some Street Fighter VI ranked matches. Also hoping to finish the final level of Advance Wars 2 which will be 100% completion of both games in Reboot Camp. After beating We Love Katamari reroll in a day, I will probably revisit some levels in that game as well.
Re: We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie Frame Rate & Resolution Detailed
The original Katamari Damacy is a top 5 game for me and I loved Reroll. I never got to play this sequel and can't wait to play it and see how the gameplay and soundtrack stack up. I have it preordered on PS5. I need a reason to play my ps5 sometimes haha
Re: The New Zelda Game Is Apparently Running On The Same Nintendo Engine As Splatoon 3
@WiiWouldLikeToPlay probably for the fact that the BOTW engine was originally designed for the Wii U. An engine designed specifically for the Switch will be better optimized.
Re: Review: Trinity Trigger - A Blast From The Past For Secret Of Mana Fans
Looks pretty good. I still think I would need a sale and online multiplayer to buy this one.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp?
I gave it a 9. I am a massive Advance Wars fan (hence my name) and being able to play the campaigns for the first 2 games in one package is amazing. What takes a point away and really disappointed me was the low-effort online multiplayer. Wargroove is an indie Advance Wars-style strategy game, came out a few years ago and is vastly superior as far as online options. They couldn't even implement asynchronous multiplayer matches??
Re: Review: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp - A Pair Of Strategy Gems Delightfully Reimagined

Re: Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Tomorrow, April 19th 2023
