Not gonna lie, as a Jiraiya fan, every time I see his clone Koji Kashin I get a little misty-eye. Years ago some Youtuber did an AMV tribute to him using Blue Foundation's "This is Goodbye"; good stuff.

Makes me wonder if they've fixed the crashing that came with the Interceptor update?

Loved this when it originally released. Will be there day-one for the physical release in October.

Mildly tragic that the physical release is just a code-in-the-box.

@TenEighty GameMill is a low-tier AA publisher. Their games are known for being no better than average or serviceable. Much like Outright Games, they typically churn out licensed cash-grabby experiences.

GameMill? Enough said, this is an easy skip.

At the end of the game, go ahead and attack the woman you're saving. It's a good easter egg.

Just waiting for physical copies to go on discount. The most I will pay is $30 for a physical copy of AA combined with digital copies of AC and AK.

Not yet played, so 0%.

Or you could order a Japanese copy that supports English and isn't in limited supply.

Xenoblade 2, Our Eternal Land and/or We Are The Chosen Ones.

@Serpenterror Probably should send them a support ticket. I got my Souldiers Collector's Edition a while back.

Just waiting for the inevitable physical release from LRG.

@Liam_Doolan Stuck at work for a few more hours. I'm hopeful the CE will still be available until then.

Oh sweet baby Jesus, no. Looks like lipstick on a pig. Well, actually that was for the first few moments of players walking onto the pitch. The gameplay seems...fine.

Nothing. Waiting for physical copies of Red Dead Redemption.

EDF WB is good fun. Well, the series in general is good fun. I'll be a buyer for WB 2.

Makes me think of Frogun or Demon Turf.

It has some Shadow Complex vibes.

It's looking very good.

@xDeckardx Blood Bowl III was announced for Switch, but then quietly went away after the negative reception on other platforms.

I'll stick with Mutant Football League then.

Calling for a boycott = increased release visibility = more sales.

Publishers love boycotts. Keep it up.

If the port is well done, I'll be a buyer.

Out of the roughly 1,500 physical games I've bought for Switch this hasn't happened once.

I've enjoyed every product Type-Moon has been involved with, so I'll be there day-one for this.

One of the longer waits from a boutique publisher, but well worth the wait it seems. At least Special Reserve won't fail me as Dispatch Games and First Press Games have.

Still haven't played the first game. I assume the Switch port is the least impressive version to play as per usual. I think I got it for free as a PS+ member a while back. I should probably give that a whirl at some point.

Take your time, Murayama-san. I've waited a long time for another proper 2D Suikoden game. I can wait a little while longer.

Physical copies of Double Dragon Gaiden and Sword & Fairy Inn 2 for me.

It's so weird seeing Streets of Red in full color.

I wonder if this update will be baked into the physical release or if there'll be a day-one patch?

Looking forward to more open world homogenous AssCreed-flavored stuffs from the co-worker fondling folks at Ubisoft.

Hail to our Chinese overlords. To be fair, Tencent are a majority owner of Digital Extremes (Warframe), my all-time favorite game. So it's...whatever.

@Liam_Doolan All the smart-marks know it's Zwei.

Nothing for me this week. Just waiting six months or so for Pikmin 4 physical copies to on discount.

GameMill is publishing? In that case I'll take a hard pass. They're a low-tier publisher. The only exception has been Cruis'n Blast.

Punch-Out

Nintendo own Next Level Games now, so I can't understand why they haven't asked them for a quick-and-dirty port of the Wii game to the Switch.

Still one of the best games of the last decade.

I'll have to play my Switch copy one of these days.

I haven't played a futball game since FIFA Street. I wonder if EA FC 24 will be the soccer game for me?

It's unfortunate that Castlevania Requiem is a Playstation exclusive. Nintendo platforms will probably never have Symphony of the Night.

For me it was Black Belt and Rambo. Black Belt, also known as Fist of the North Star in other territories. Nuff said. And Rambo was a good Ikari Warriors clone.

But I have all of these. Sans the DLC. Actually I do not have Monster Rancher. I played my fill of those back on PS1 and I'm not compelled to return.

The series has an important place in my personal history with video games.

Probably remakes for Disgaea 2 & 3? They're the two holdouts from having all mainline entries on Switch.

It's looking like Dragon's Lair but...playable, lol.

I'm interested.

Homelander vs Omni-Man should be lit.

Call of Duty Mobile maybe. We probably won't get an actual CoD port until Nintendo's next hardware.

Going to have to go with the platform exclusive Ultra Street Fighter II.

Still holding out hope for a port of at least FFXIII to Switch. The 360 port's file size was only 18GB after compression. And I don't have any affinity for XIII-2 or Lightning Returns.
