Final Fantasy VI will always be the best in my opinion.

IV, VII and IX are pretty phenomenal too.

I first played the "original" when it was released on the Wii U virtual console. I liked it way more than expected. Very much looking forward to playing this version.

Man, I'm not a farm sim fan, but I love Eastward, and would like to support the devs. Plus, this is only 5 bucks right now! How can I say no?

@PineappleLake Even as an old school gamer, I never played that one, so I'd be very happy to get the chance!

Mega Man 4 was the first game I ever owned myself that wasn't a shared thing. Got it in like 1993 when I was 5. So, I'll always have a soft spot for it.

That being said, Mega Man X is 💯 the best Mega Man game ever.

Thanks for the review! I already bought the game, but was curious what you guys thought about it. 7 seems to be a general consensus around the internet.

I played BotW to death, and yet, I too got such a sense of wonder playing TotK. I remember finding new and surprising stuff even after I'd sunk 80 hours into it! Love the game!

I absolutely loved Sea of Stars, and really hope we get some kind of sequel!

This is the most excited I've been for a 2D Mario since, well, 1991!

@Freek Thank you!

@Freek Of those metroidvanias you mentioned, which would you recommend most? I've never played any of them.

I'm not a huge fan of either racing games or battle royales, but I enjoy this game very much! "I'll just do one more race." I've told myself 1000 times.

I am super pumped for this! I remember getting the original on my 14th birthday. One of the most fun and creative RPG's ever. Day one purchase for sure!

Yep, Secret of Mana has always been one of those classic games I can play over and over again. Graphics (and color) and music are top notch. And I gotta say, the music in the snow area is one of the most beautifully haunting pieces of music I've ever heard. Stirs my heart every time I hear it.

Now that TotK is out, Sea of Stars is my most anticipated game! Love throwback games that have modern features and such! The best of both!

@ChromaticDracula Same here! Well, not the patio part. I'm old and hate being rushed through games that I pay hard earned money for (especially when I had to walk 5 miles in the snow, uphill, to get to work lol).

I loved Pikmin 2, so it looks like 4 is in a similar vein. Gonna go preorder now!

They should make some kind of hybrid that bridges the Mega Man series into the Mega Man X series. It could be cool from a story and game play perspective.

Make it happen guys! DO IT!

Bodies of water on the surface are walls underground!

I took off work when Breath of the Wild came out because of excitement.

I'm arguably more excited for Tears of the Kingdom, yet this weekend is one of the busiest for me, so I probably won't really be able to play until next week. The irony is hilarious!

Have fun before I can NL fam!

Now, Smelter got a little too difficult and irritating for me by the end (and I never finished it), but I still really liked the game, and look very forward to this one.

Hopefully there will be an easy mode for us old fogey's who've lost their skills!

I liked the dinner scene a lot. I've always been a sucker for those kinds of movie family moments. Adds just a nice little bit of real life.

I very much look forward to the shenanigans I'll be getting into in TotK.

Dondozo is my favorite new monster in the game, so yes, I like the design. Outside of glitches, watching him do bodyslam is the funniest moment in the game for me.

I really really liked the original. I also remember it being terribly difficult. I wonder if that was just me being an inexperienced 12-year-old gamer or if it was actually hard. Are there difficulty options lol?

What's weird to me is that I can find a lot of the older games in physical form on Amazon...cheaper than the voucher. CRAZAY.

I loved the breaking weapons mechanic, and definitely want it to return.

For whatever reason, what struck me the most was being able to see through the doorways into the next room. I like that.

Just talking the game itself, how good is it? Even as an old school RPG guy, I've never played any of the Tales series. For me, there's not much I'm interested in on the Switch the next few months other than the new Zelda, so I'd like a good game to hold me over til May.

I was always had a blast against the Helmaroc King in WW. Loved using the hammer on him!

@WrongChops and again!

@gaga64 I would definitely recommend these pixel remasters even if you already own them in various ways. All the music has been orchestrated, which even as a chip tune purist myself, it really really sounds good and fits. QOL stuff has been added like minimaps, diagonal movement, better battle menus, etc. The graphics are true to the originals, and yet they've really jazzed them up with better animations and particle effects. Plus, they've really stepped it up with certain "cinema scenes." Like the Leviathan attacking the ship part in IV has so much more epicness to it, and they legit added actual singing to the opera scene in VI.

Not to mention you can now get all six in one collection (if ever available), instead of buying them separately.

@chefgon Yes! This!

@BongoBongo123 I'd love that too (it was the last thing I ever backed btw), but I recently checked up on the dev's Kickstarter page and there isn't much to indicate the game is close to finally being done.

I'm genuinely excited for this. Haven't played Pokémon in years, but this kind of stuff makes me want to so much! Plus, I got a staff appreciation bonus from work, so I can get the game for free, so why not buy?!

I randomly had the Pokémon itch last week (not played any of the games in 10 years), and bought Coromon while it was on sale. Didn't love it, but this update is a reason to give it a second chance!

@Purgatorium I agree 100%. I absolutely love Phoenotopia: Awakening, but boy is it difficult at times, even with accessibility options.

I'd love the chance to fission mail again.

Hey hey, I'm one of those 200k!

Seriously though, I love the concept and am very eager to watch more! His first dev video on stopping was one of those slap to the forehead kinda things. "I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense!"

Very cool! I got this on the Wii U and was really impressed by the quality and general fun and weirdness of it! Happy to play it again!

Welp,I had no idea when Blossom Tales II was coming out. Great surprise! I'll get that!

I'm very interested in Live A Live, having played (and really enjoyed!) a rom of it like 20 years ago.

Maybe time for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on Switch?

I read about this last year, and was hoping it'd come to Switch. Will pick it up soon!

I'd never played a single DQ game until I bought XI on a whim. It ended up being my favorite RPG of the last 20 years.

So yeah, I'm excited for XII.

What would be the official English name if it ever got localized? Earthbound Endings? Earthbound 2? Earthbound Jim?

Definitely was on of the best games on the console. I had a lot of fun with it.

And I remember those Miiverse posts specifically! Hilarious!

Makes me realize my real favorite aspect of the game is making ridiculous screenshots.

I created just one group: bomb-diggity. It's reserved for my top radical toobular games.

Man, I literally JUST played through this on Steam and got every ending! Now they add this cool update?! 🤣🤣🤣
