I picked it up when I got the Switch 2 but not had the chance to really dig into it yet, glad to see they're supporting it at least. Probably should get to it soon, been wanting to replay it since before they even announced the port but it's a hard game to make time for.
Already got them digitally but neat for people who are interested in physical, though kind of makes the fact people who preorder 7 Remake only actually get the original game free the day the remake comes out even dumber.
I wouldn't be shocked if one of the announcements ends up being a Silent Hill pack. They've done a couple of Konami crossovers already and between the release of F, the likely news in the next few days of 2 ports, and it being Halloween season it'd be very timely.
I'd probably pick it up but would wait for a sale. Game's very good but I've got to be in the mood for it, it's kind of just too slow and too bloated to be as pick-up-and-play as the first one is.
Feel like probably should actually include 13 Sentinels in the list proper. It and Hundred Line probably have similar ratios when it comes to the tactical RPG / visual novel split except 13 Sentinels has more involved side content devoted to it.
If it gets ported I'll probably pick it up but will likely wait for a heavy sale. It's a great game but after getting it on Steam and then later on PS5 I don't really want to spend too much on getting it a third time.
At least per the demo I liked Sonic way more than Mario Kart World. Latter just does nothing at all for me, really doubtful I'm ever going to redownload it.
Lesnar being in it makes this pack a must-skip for me. I'd maybe shell out for the pack otherwise just for Basic Thuganomics but Brock should never, ever have been brought back.
I'm probably going to pick it up either when the Switch 2 version comes out or when it's got a decent discount, whichever comes first. Probably the latter given 1), Christmas season, and 2), it's Sega.
Figured Iron Man would be one of them, was guessing the other was going to be either Kamala or Kate Bishop. Phoenix is a decent choice though, no complaints there.
Guessing these are for the new storybook parts, given how mellow they are. All very nice and relaxing, though Good Night and Special Someone might sound a bit too similar to each other.
I think if the next Mario game bares much resemblance to Bowser's Fury it'll be a hard pass for me. It's a fun enough game for what it is, but even for only being like three hours long by the time I finished with it I was getting pretty tired of it. Plus I just in general have come around to disliking most open world games on principle, I really miss actual focused level design.
Kind of a dumb restriction (especially given the multiplayer in these games is so nothing that it might as well not exist) but I doubt I'd have ever used the mouse mode outside of as a momentary curiosity anyway so not super broken up about it.
I bought Silent Hill f a couple of days ago so that's probably going to be it for me for now, though I was tempted by Sonic. Will definitely get Galaxy 2 next week though.
@Filthy Honestly the second game's in such a weird place because it's almost entirely carried by the last case. The second case is pretty decent too, but the first is wildly forgettable and the third while I think it gets too much hate is most likely the weakest of the original trilogy. The first game arguably has the same issue, but at least it's got the bonus case helping to elevate the overall experience (though personally I do like the second game more than the first).
Though personally my choices for the weakest cases in the series are the third ones in Apollo and Investigations 1 and the fourth in Great Ace Attorney 1. That last one's probably my most-hated one personally, but at least it's got a good sequel case. .... Though for that matter the circus case has a sequel in Investigations 2 and it's great.
@MirrorFate2 Not too surprising given they also replaced them in Apollo. Did find it a bit of a jarring shift but it's not that substantive of one and given the circumstances I definitely understand the why of it so no complaints here.
Lack of a new game announcement is disappointing, but at least the series is continuing to get something and it's been very noticeable how barebones the original trilogy collection feels compared to all of the others so I'm glad it's getting this much.
Kind of a shame I replayed the original trilogy (and also the Investigations games, Apollo, and Spirit of Justice; it hadn't been that long on Dual Destinies so skipped it but meaning to do it, the GAA games, and Ghost Trick at some point soonish) last year so probably be awhile before I get around to another go of them.
Probably going to end up being the first Pokemon game since gen 3 I don't buy. Might end up playing it if my roommate gets it, but as it is really nothing about the game is screaming that it's something to be excited for, especially since I didn't really like PLA all that much in the first place.
Wish they'd offer a bigger discount on Ultra Street Fighter 2 at some point. Kind of want it but don't $20 want it but it never comes lower. Already have most of what else is included in this sale that I'm interested in, including SF6.
Either way I impulse bought Silent Hill F so likely no more games for me until Galaxy 2.
I'm pretty, "Eh, they're alright," on Black & White 1, but the sequels are the only games that can compete with HGSS for being the best in the series in my mind.
I want to know why they even bothered to add a permanent selection of some of the icons just to have it be locked to five specific games and then never expand it further. Genuinely feels like they just forgot they have that section.
I picked it up a couple weeks back but not had much chance to play it yet, kind of ended up getting quickly sidelined by Shuten Order. Liked what I have played of it though.
I really have no idea what separates a good FPS from a bad one because it's not at all my genre, but something that was standing out to me was just how bad the environments look. Looks more like a remastered Wii game than something actually made for modern consoles.
Galaxy 2, the MK collection, Danganronpa, and Fire Emblem are really the only things on my radar. Possibly Mario Tennis if you can actually play a full game of tennis in this one, was always the big reason I never got Aces.
Maybe the Wonder upgrade if there's a decent amount of single player content, but the trailer was definitely more pushing the multiplayer that I don't care about. The fact it looks like they're adding Rosalina might tip it for me though.
I'm definitely more on the side that Bayonetta 3 is just kind of a mess that's better off ignored. I like its cover of Moonlight Serenade, beyond that don't think it really brings anything to the table that tops the other games.
I did a run through of it a few years back mostly for Xbox Rewards purposes. Thought it was good but wasn't wowed by it or anything, not really ever planning to play Deltarune. Glad I did it once, it's worth a quick look, but I don't think it's something I'm ever super likely to play a second time.
I'll definitely get Galaxy 2 and I'll probably get the Rosalina Amiibo, can't see myself bothering with Galaxy 1 when I already have it and don't really like Mario as a character enough to get a figure of him.
Honestly best thing Sakurai could ever announce is that he's hired an editor. Man really likes to take an hour to say what could be said in five minutes.
Might be neat as a novelty thing, that was always a great part of the game, but it's absurdly overpriced for a 40-some page picture book - can easily find others of similar length on Amazon at under half that price - that's contents you can easily find online or in-game anyway, and it's especially dumb that they're not including the new content.
Also it's a little thing but I can't stand how Nintendo refers to everything they put out as "the (title) game" at all times. No other publisher talks like this, it sounds so inhuman.

Re: Poll: Do You Think Nintendo's New Animated Short 'Close To You' Is Pikmin Related?
My guess is it's probably for some kind of Pikmin spinoff or a Switch 2 edition of 4, think it's a bit too soon for them to be doing 5 just yet.
