Forgot Tokyo Xanadu wasn't compatible. Been kind of curious about checking it out so glad they fixed it.

@Elektrogeist1287 Not really, the series is generally more of a depressing, violent horror story. It's just there's kind of a weird underlying trend in some of the games toward out of nowhere fanservice that really doesn't suit the mood at all, and the comedy spinoff included in this is especially heavy on it.

@Spider-Kev Blood Covered and Blood Drive are, Book of Shadows and Hysterical Birthday Bash aren't.

@Elektrogeist1287 Eh, varies. Blood Covered (the first one) and Blood Drive (the last one of this set) were already available anyway, and the first game's widely considered the best one while Blood Drive's pretty universally seen as the worst, but as for the other two...

Book of Shadows people are kind of mixed on. Think the overall consensus on it is that it's got its ups and downs but suffers from some irritating mechanics and bad pacing, but it's a very debated game.

Hysteric Birthday Bash I think is probably the most well-received game after Blood Covered. The fanbase generally seems to like that one in large part because it doesn't really take itself seriously.

@Coalescence It's probably more due to how these games are very fond of weird out of nowhere underage fanservice than it is the violence.

Unfortunate, but the Japanese versions include the English translations so they can be gotten if you're willing to jump through some hoops, be it either the Japanese eShop or importing a copy.

Looking to finish up Persona 3 Reload mostly. Kind of at a point in the game where I'm very near the end but not quite AT the end so getting pretty checked out and kind of just wanting to get it over with but still enjoyed my experience more than not.

Also I've been making a habit of getting in some time with Fitness Boxing 3 on a daily basis lately.

@jojobar I mean an hour isn't an insignificant length of time, especially in a subseries where the games are usually only about 15 hours long and can be beaten in significantly less than that.

I always find it weird when people snap to, "Stop criticizing it, it's a wonderful game, this isn't actually a problem!" when referring to preview materials for something none of them have actually played yet. This isn't even the only article I've seen talking about how deeply irritating this character is.

Checked out the demo and thought it was decent but not sure if it was decent enough to sell me on the game or not, especially with the Switch 2 version of Sonic coming out a couple weeks later with me also considering going for that one instead. I'll probably play it again during the next free period and try to come to a decision on it but either way it's mostly feeling like a, "Maybe when it's 33% off in a year," kind of purchase to me.

Glad to hear it's a free upgrade, might do a new playthrough when it comes out. Do wish they'd port GTA4 though, I'd be all over that in an instant.

I picked the game up when I got my Switch 2 though not gotten around to doing a run through of it yet, and it'll probably be a bit since I'm just wrapping up a playthrough of Persona 3 Reload and not looking to run through another 100 hour RPG right now.

Have already played through the game before on the 3DS though and loved it. Super recommend it, had been meaning to replay it for awhile even before the port was announced.

@Zeugziumy It isn't that unusual to try to accelerate capitalizing on a big property like this especially if it's kid-aimed because, y'know, kids are going to grow out of it so get their attention while you still have it.

Already struck me as a thing that I would not at all be into and I buy most games digitally anyway. Not interested in it but the game key card thing doesn't have any impact on why.

I'll be honest, I have a Switch 2 Pro Controller and I wasn't even aware it had audio support.

@wert303b I mean day one they said that not all games would be backwards compatible and put up a site listing all known games with issues, they never really acted like this was going to be seamless.

I've been holding off on getting NieR for if they ever fix its compatibility but other than that I've not really been having many issues and most everything I care about works at least for the most part.

The only issue I've really run into at all is that one time when replaying the first Danganronpa it locked up and then crashed while trying to boot, but that seems like a freak thing given it's not an issue I've otherwise seen reported and the rest of that playthrough ran better than the game does on the Switch 1.

Was hoping for a sale on Xenoblade X but eh, maybe it'll get one digitally, they don't always make those one-to-one with the physical sales.

Either way, good lineup though I've already got all of the ones I'm interested in.

@JumpingJackson Yeah, the only one that isn't able to be charged on the Switch 2 is the NES controller.

Something about his eyes just looks really off to me. Being fair not a fan of the movie's art style in the first place, but it's especially weird with Yoshi because he looks like mostly right but the eyes have this strange uncanny look to them.

Mostly looking to finish up Persona 3 Reload, at the start of December so not a giant amount of the game left to go. All in all having fun with it but pretty ready to be done with it.

It makes narrative sense but it has always been weird they opted to just give Byleth the Dancer outfit as DLC without actually letting them have the class.

Nothing really on my radar until Mario Tennis.

Really don't see the point in remaking either. Link to the Past is definitely aged in some respects but it's still very playable, doesn't have the limited control scheme holding it back the way Link's Awakening did, and its map has been revised enough into other games that it wouldn't really even feel novel at this point.

As for Chrono Trigger, entirely under the opinion that any kind of remake could only make the experience worse, especially if you inflicted that HD-2D vomit on it. I wish they'd port it to modern consoles, desperately overdue, but remaking it would be a mistake in my view.

Wonder If Joker will notice this guy's life is startlingly similar to that Dragon: Like a Yakuza movie he watched with Makoto.

@Bobb It actually runs a bit deeper than that. There are sidequests in the game to catch Mewtwo and Diancie but they require having the Mega Stones to activate.

I'm having fun with the collection but it definitely has issues. I'm mostly just disappointed that the messy launch of this probably doomed any likelihood of eventually getting a PS2 game collection since by now the widespread negative word of mouth is already out there and likely impacting the sales.

Mario Tennis and Fire Emblem are definites, Yoshi I'll wait for reviews since it's an incredibly inconsistent series, Mario Wonder I need to see how much single player content there is since I don't really care at all about multiplayer but Rosalina alone might tip it enough for me to get.

Not super interested in the rest. Maybe Rhythm Heaven but I've tried to get into the series before and I'm just really bad at it.

New Leaf's probably my favorite of the Animal Crossing soundtracks. It's a bit of a cliche answer but I especially like its 4 AM theme.

@Yoshi3 Honestly forgot it even existed, doubt I'll ever check it out if only because of how big its download size is.

I've kind of contributed to that number entirely too many times myself between getting...

• Vanilla Persona 5 on PS4
• Persona 5 Royal on PS4, Switch, and Steam
• Persona 5 Tactica on Switch
• Persona 5 Strikers on Switch and if it counts in a Humble Bundle

At least I've never gotten the dancing game I guess?

I'm hoping the MK4 fixes include audio fixes, the game really just doesn't sound right. Also the unlimited Fatality timer doesn't seem to work in the arcade MK2 for some reason.

Collection has other issues I hope they fix, can definitely feel the input lag even offline, but so far I've had fun with it at least. Really glad they're cutting the pause menu time down because it takes obscenely long for that menu to pop up as it is, it can be hard sometimes to even find an opening long enough to do it.

Persona 3 Reload mostly with some Mortal Kombat on the side.

Nah, not played the game in years at this point and even if I did go back to it I feel like I'd lose interest again within a couple of weeks. Finished the museum besides the paintings and got more money than I could ever spend, feel like I've done all there is to do.

@charliecarrot Yeah, 13 Sentinels is excellent. It took me two tries to get into it since I think the opening is very slow and it doesn't really start in the thick of what's interesting about it but it's super worth seeing it through, very rewarding experience.

For what it's worth while they're certainly not the console version the GBA versions of Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition are still very worth checking out. They're incredibly impressive ports that feel about as close to the console experience as they reasonably could and they look and sound great.

I'm really digging it and don't at all care about online play which probably helps. Though I do hope they fix the audio and graphical issues with MK4, the lack of the, "Fatality!" call in particular really hurts the experience.

I'll probably pass. $5 isn't much but the last time they did a DLC update it reinvigorated interest in the game for me for like a week and a half before I went back to not playing it so I think I'm kind of just better off going, "Yeah, I checked in for a year straight when the game came out, that's enough," and staying away.

Got Mortal Kombat, last game really on the horizon for me until Mario Tennis. Though do still have a voucher I need to find a use for before January.

I mostly just wonder why (unless this has been added in a patch since I last played it, been a long while) there isn't a music player within World itself. People seemed to really like that feature when they put it in 8.

I'll probably pick them up at some point but will wait for a sale, it's Capcom so it won't take long.

@dew12333 It's mostly a one person job going by the description, the director doing pretty much everything but the art design, writing, and music. $32,000 out of pocket on top of whatever's already being paid for the work that's been done as it is isn't exactly chump change for a one person operation.

Besides this also helps to prove interest in the project which will help with securing outside backing and potentially getting more funds from other sources, which is something they specifically say in the description that they're aiming to do but will likely take some time to put together. Having a successful Kickstarter first would help tremendously with getting financers on board.

Kind of long wondered about checking the game out on Switch because my brother (who has it on PS4) has been obsessed with it for years, but it'll probably depend a lot on how they price it digitally. The Switch version hasn't been on sale in nearly five years at this point and it's not a game I'm willing to pay $60 to get caught up on.

@TheStormGL It's a game that's had a ton of different revisions and new iterations over the years. The current Switch release is several updates ago and Repentance is DLC for it, and this new revision will likely add a bunch of new stuff to it.

Good to see it seems to be well on its way to being funded for the people interested, though as someone who loves Story of Seasons but never could develop a taste for Rune Factory this kind of just seems completely interchangeable with the Rune Factory games to me. Doesn't really seem to actually be bringing anything new to the table.

Character designs seem nice though.

@rvcolem1 Coinciding with Scarlet and Violet they wrote out Ash and switched to new protagonists. There are a lot of indications that this show's in the same continuity but it's largely a standalone thing that's taken over as the main anime.

Nah, easy pass for me, didn't really like Age of Calamity that much, didn't at all care about TotK's plot (especially the flashback parts of it), and I already own five other Musou games on the Switch anyway, I really don't need another.

Never really been super crazy about the NSMB games' soundtracks, but the first one is probably the best of them, is before they really hyper-fixated on certain motifs starting with Wii.

I eventually stopped following Horizons because it felt like it was taking forever for anything to ever actually happen in it and I've heard that kind of just becomes more and more of a problem as the show goes.

Quiet change I only just noticed and don't think I've seen anyone report on - the, "Play this game to unlock these icons!" ones now only require playing the game once instead of three times.

This is likely the entirety of the set, these are some old pictures they've trotted out for some events in years past.

Do notice they wisely decided to leave out the one of Kamek dressed as a ghost. That one wound up a bit, uh, unfortunate.
