@Pete_Stooge It's also not especially easy. More on the cinematic side, but some of the swimming and time-based segements might need a few tries. I'm not saying it's a difficult game, but its inclusion on this list is confusing.
They appear in Melee's adventure mode, which is fine, but there's also a small chance they can pop out of crates during regular versus battles. I was freaked out when this first happened to me - it's like the game itself can't contain them.
When I played the demo (on PC) I enjoyed the classic adventure gameplay and felt that the visuals looked quite polished. Comparing it to the original Broken Sword sets the bar way too high, but this is by no means shovelware.
Farming the tera shards was one of the things that kept me busy in the post-game while building new teams (also made for a nice gameplay loop), but I wouldn't mind them being less scarce if there were other things to do after you finished the story.
I got so much mileage out of Three Houses and my two Solitaire games that I chose 2019. Untitled Goose Game and What Remains of Edith Finch were also great additions. (Honorable Mentions: Ni No Kuni and Super Mario Bros. 2.)
Playing Broken Sword 4 as an impatient 16-year-old. You were supposed to open a door, but couldn't reach the latch. The solution was simply using the golf club that had been in your inventory for most of the game. I used a walkthrough.
I chose GBA Boo Lake because that's exactly the kind of track I love to see: staying true to the original design while adding a MK8 twist with underwater and anti-gravity sections. I don't really care for tracks with alternate routes or those that feel like they were streamlined for Mario Kart Tour. It's about time they add some more Double Dash tracks, too.
I think it would help if there were creatures I'd actually like to take photos of... "Alba: A Wildlife Adventure" and "Beasts of Maravilla Island" did that a lot better for me.
Snow Land! I always love to see the 2D tracks brought to life with creative freedom. To me it feels the most like a track that could have been in Mario Kart 8 all along.
I pick the starter whose first stage I simply like the most (Litten, Scorbunny, Quaxly). I avoid spoilers for final evolutions and secondary types, so it's often a surprise for me ... I mostly end up with fire or water types, anyway.
I'd save: 2017: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 2018: Night in the Woods 2019: Fire Emblem: Three Houses 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2021: Mutazione 2022: Pokémon Legends Arceus
I've been waiting for 5 years to play Life is Strange because it doesn't run on my laptop... so I can wait a little longer. I also ended up buying the first game on my brother's PS3 (!) earlier this year so I could finally play it.
Mutazione. I haven't felt this drawn into a narrative game since Night in the Woods. The art style and music are beautiful and it felt like a melancholic summer vacation.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
trading in or selling my games would require effort, so I just put them in a shelf and call it collecting

I love the art style, music and atmosphere, feels like they're building an interesting story around a simple gameplay premise (like "florence").
Re: Poll: One Year After The DLC, Are You Still Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
I still love to boot it up and do my "chores", but it's always a matter of 10 minutes.
