I had never played a FE game before the previous release on the NSO, and it absolutely hooked me in. Felt like a cross between Advance Wars and Shining Force. Definitely looking forward to checking this one out.

Hey get your BotW out of my Wind Waker!

I kid, it actually looks pretty cool.

current day Paul Rudd with his 90s outfit and hair bears a strange resemblance to Tommy Wiseau haha.

@Abrammchi yeah, that is kinda lame.

I Robot came out in 2004?! God that makes me feel old, well older.

Anyway, this looks pretty rad. Love the neo-retro aesthetics, whatever you wanna call them.

@Abrammchi I think that'd be an extremely poor business decision if they did that. I'm personally looking forward to this game, but it's not a system seller, just a 2d retro action platformer. It's not doing anything the og switch can't handle. Mariokart world and dk bonanza are the one's everyone's gonna run out and buy the new system for.

@N00BiSH did you ever play the 2014 Strider? It was pretty great. I'm honestly surprised Capcom never ported it, would've been right at home on the switch.

Wow, yeah this looks cool as hell. I like the new characters, but I do hope the man himself Ryu is playable via some unlockable mode or something.

@WaveBoy yeah it's been ages since I've played power stone myself. The big one for me is CvS2 which I've had on gamecube since it released. Looking forward to testing my mettle online!

This is definitely my most anticipated game of the year. One month!

My buddy's clearing out space in his apartment, so he gave me some of his old Xbox360 games, one of which being Dark Souls 2. I've never played this one before, but I do recall hearing a lot of negativity surrounding it over the years. Perhaps because I went in with low expectations, I've actually really been enjoying it. The exploration has always been my favourite aspect of the souls games, and this one has some of the coolest environments in the series.

8/12. I made a couple foolish blunders,it also included questions based on two Zelda games I actually haven't played, that being adventure of link and tri-force heroes. My blind guesses failed me.

It does look glorious. I do hope there are some areas in the game that evoke the kind of spooky atmosphere of the Rare DKC games. Creepy pirate ships and swamps, etc.

I'm fine with the redesign. I think it's a cool fusion between classic DK and the Rare version.

New AAA games have already been $80 here in Canada for years now. So I guess this means they're going up to $90 now, well over $100 after taxes, great.. Doesn't really incentivize me to go run out and buy a Switch 2 as soon as possible.

This one looks pretty epic. When the trailer first started I thought it was a sequel to Vanquish, the mech suit has a similar aesthetic to the one from that game.

Didn't knock my socks off, but it was alright. Personally I was hoping for more from Capcom or Konami, like a new Resident Evil or Castlevania.

Ganondorf better be playable!

This one has me intrigued. I don't like that many of the enemies seem to be anthropomorphized rocks with googly eyes, like really? Just bring back the Kremlings dammit!

RIP. One of my favourite of his roles was Madmartigan in Willow.

"I love you Sorsha? I don't love her, she kicked me in the face!!"

This looks great! My inner 90s kid is smiling with glee.

How are those Terrifier movies anyway? I'm a big fan of campy 80s slashers, is this series something like that, or more like Eli Roth torture porn, which I do not enjoy.

Anyway, yeah this game looks exactly like that Scott Pilgrim beat em up.

No way in hell I could ever beat that. Some pretty tough bosses in this game too,particularly, Gogandontess, "the greatest swordsman of all demons."

Okay, looks like it could be cool. I am a bit wary though, I thought that recent Metal Slug tactics game looked amazing, but besides the visuals I found it rather disappointing.

Nice! Love the Baki manga and anime, it's just so wonderfully over the top. I think i'd prefer a 2d versus fighting game, but this looks like it could be fun too. No doubt Yujiro will be the final boss and be impossible to beat.

I'd also like to throw out a recommendation for Guns of Fury. Very fun game with some gorgeous Metal Slug inspired pixel art.

Amazing! Looks like something you would've seen in arcades back in the 90s. Do RoboCop next!

I am a ninja game fanatic, but even I think this one is a bit pricey for what it is.

Fighting Collection 2, Onimusha 2, a new Shinobi AND Ninja Gaiden, gonna be a good year!

I still have this game, it's great.

I went with NA. I like what they were going for with the gold brick, but it'd be much cooler if it were actually embossed, as opposed to just a print.

@abbyhitter Sure why not? The third one was in a hotel, which isn't exactly a mansion. Luigi's Mansion is just kind of a brand name at this point. And you can always have sub titles,

Luigi's Mansion 4: Theme Park of the Damned or whatever

An isolated Toad village where the resident Toad population has succumbed to some kind of fungal infection, like the Last of Us. It's about time Luigi moved on from ghost hunting to zombie blasting.

@BigRadical I think the Lords of Shadow series has it's own continuity separate from the rest of the Castlevania games. Anyway, I always loved the twist at the end of the first game with Gabriel Belmont eventually succumbing to his own darkness and becoming Dracula. Reminds me of the opening scene of my fav Dracula movie, the Coppola version from 1992.

Very curious where they'll take the series next. It's had quite the evolution over the years. Anything's better than a pachinko machine honestly.

Lords of Shadow 2 was incredibly disappointing, but I absolutely loved the first one. Not gonna lie, it's probably one of my fav Castlevanias.

@-wc- "Hee hee, Thank you!"

Definitely an over saturated sub-genre, but this one actually looks good to me.

@Serpenterror Same here! It's a great game, but my personal fav is still the original Onimusha.

Cannot wait for this. CvS2 might be my fav crossover game.

Jeez, about time. It's been like 6 years since the remaster of the first game.

Anyway this is a fun hack and slash with rpg elements and lovely pre-rendered backgrounds. It has a weird system that's not present in any of the other games involving giving gifts to your party members. I just remember giving Ekei a lot of food and booze and he was my bro for life, haha.

This looks great, but man do I suck at bullet hells.

@Samalik Nice, I like the guitar in that.

Really enjoyed Blade Chimera, although I felt it ended too soon. But I suppose a game leaving you wanting more could be considered a good thing.

Ugh, Limp Bizkit. I feel like Dante would probably be the kind of guy to listen to them though, haha.

Love the artwork in this one, but sounds like I might find it more frustrating than fun.

Oof, the JP one looks like an assignment I would've thrown together the night before graphic design class in art school.

Excellent, hope we get a release date for Fighting Collection 2. Also looking forward to the new Onimusha, always enjoyed that series.

Been Jonesing for some Casey!

@Otoemetry I wouldn't say I hate new trek per se, but I don't think any of the recent stuff has really come close to the greatness of DS9.

Haven't heard of this comic before, I dig the artwork. I have a Code Veronica manga I grabbed years ago which is pretty cool.

For anyone who's interested I've been drawing RE monsters for fun. I'm on RE5 now,

@Ultimapunch Surprised it hasn't happened already. They really should've been part of the Origins collection we got.
