Pak-Man

When a game has a big licensing tie-in like Marvel, it's always worth springing for the physical edition. They tend to go away after a while.

Nintendo has always made sure they had accessible pricing. It's kind of their thing. It's why they're never the most powerful console in the race, but still get a solid user-base.

Ooh. Ripple Island looks like Deja Vu or Princess Tomato. I love those NES-Friendly point-and-click adventure games!

Oh, I LOVE Wildermyth and have been dying to play it on my Switch. This is a day-1 for me.

They did OK with the Switch port for Etrian Odyssey. Better than I expected. But the definitive version will remain the DS for it's excellent use of the touch screen.

I want to graft Three Houses' story onto Engage's gameplay.

I don't get the Limited Run hate. It's been a long time since I've had a hard time getting anything from their catalog, and you get a lot of physical games that might never have existed if not for them.

I envision Dungeon Keeper, but with Zelda stuff.

They're giving it an E10 for Alcohol and Tobacco use, so I doubt there's much spice there. (Don't recall much in the original, other than a particular costume with an implied career attached to it.)

I'm gonna go for the longshot and say Eternal Darkness 2!

Before I even clicked, the title sent me on a mad Internet search to see if I've missed any Trauma Center news in the last decade or so. I have not.

Every June, Nintendo tells me how I'll be spending my extra money for the next year or so

Oh man! I almost had a heart attack there!

A Gentleman would helpfully note that it ALMOST completes the series...

It's really unfortunate that the deaths of key members of the Dragon Quest creative team coincided with the "We're gonna make this one a little bit different" Dragon Quest. It's going to color perceptions. Can't be helped at this point.

I have extreme nostalgia for DQ1. There was a brief time where you could get a copy just for subscribing to Nintendo Power and that's how I got my copy. There would never be a subscription incentive like it again and I had to pull out all the stops in begging my parents.

Finally! The release of You Adorable! Elfin Clay 2 that I've been waiting for! I can't wait to play a microcosm of the super relaxed baby talk for those of you who can't grow up enough to be an adult!

I was already hyped, but I didn't know there was Freedom Force DNA in this game. Now I'm mega-hyped!

Themed Picross is my kryptonite. I can't resist buying. I"ll be getting it Day 1.

@Bunkerneath @rainbowtick : Naw, it's all about Duck Creator. Heck yeah, I'll put a hat on my duck!

I envy everyone about to experience Thousand Year Door for the first time.

You know how even though every Paper Mario game since has been really good, everyone thinks they suck? It's because they're not this game. Deep down, we all want the next Paper Mario to be this game.

Let me qualify my previous comment by saying that it's very possible you will be one of the ones to love the SaGa series. I am too! But it takes a certain kind of player- and I don't even know what specific kind of player that is- to be charmed by its innovations instead of repelled by them.

Every write-up:

This game made some bold decisions and really innovated the genre. But most of you will probably end up hating it.

And boy, if that doesn't describe the SaGa series to a T...

@calbeau We're not seeing a rise in mental health problems, we're seeing a rise in awareness of those problems. We're trying to move past the "Suck it up" era of mental health and really look at what mental health means. It's a good thing.

Don't know if it's because I'm a gamer from WAY back and my eyes were totally satisfied with games like Star Fox and Alone in the Dark, or if it's because I can see that the emperor isn't wearing any clothes, but I just don't get the big deal about 60 FPS. I've yet to play any game on the Switch that feels overly choppy or unresponsive.

I have all of these waiting for me in my library, but every time I try a run, a new game comes out and pulls me away.

I love the SaGa games, though. The decision to hide the progression mechanics instead of making them something you try to "game" makes the roleplaying experience feel more genuine.

My personal favorite (So far) is Romancing SaGa 2. I love the kingdom management stuff, and it was Roguelite before Roguelite was cool.

We joke about the Picross reviews, but Picross LogiartGrimoire has some fun mechanics mixed in. Kinda like Doodle Gods, but you solve Picross to get the ingredients.

16 Personalities: The Video Game?

There ARE a lot of little signs that THAT game might be on the near horizon...

And by THAT game, of course, I mean a new Picross S game!

Don't sleep on Hero's Hour, people! If you ever loved Heroes of Might and Magic, this game is for you. It boils Heroes down to its purest essence and keeps everything that makes it fun.

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

"Changed Fibonacci - costs $8 instead of $7, because Fibonacci"

More patches on more games should be done "because Fibonacci."

How about Lemmings? Used to be ported to EVERYTHING and then sort of vanished one day. I want to know the whole story.

Reading through the comments, I'm learning there's a whole generation about to be exposed to the greatest Mario RPG ever made, and I wish I were you!

You guys talked me into this one and I don't regret the purchase at all. As addicting as Vampire Survivor but not quite as life-consuming.

There's a game translation guide over at GameFAQs that one could use to follow the game in Japanese while they play. It's actually the only way I've experienced the game so far. (I have a legit Japanese copy for my GBA!) It translates all of the text you'll encounter and helps you navigate the battle menu (Which you'll know by heart eventually.) The translation is solid and with a little dedication, you can play the game and get the full impact.

Hoping this doesn't mean they're going to ease-up on the rereleases and remasters. Square's historical library is more accessible right now than ever, including a bunch of stuff the west never got to play legitimately, and I love it.

I just got my bonus, and this is exactly the sort of thing I need to not think about while it's still in my bank account.

Dear Nintendo:

ANYTHING but "New Switch." Searching for things with "New" in the title is a nightmare, especially 10 years down the line when it's not true.

I'm just glad the calendar is out. These Nintendo card calendars have become a staple in my home office.

Disco Elysium is a game that stays with you. It ended up being one of my most-played games last year, and I got it in November.

I mean- I'd BUY it. It's a Nintendo system. I have to. I'd be very grumpy about it, though.

Now to explain to my wife that I'd like "Unicorn Overlord" for my birthday next year.

The Tick deserves better than he got on the Super Nintendo.

I'm gonna swing big and say, "Yes, and they'll announce the Switch 2."

I'd be totally fine if this new Switch was in the vein of the Gameboy Color or New 3DS, where it will enhance existing games and gradually transition over to exclusive games as time goes on.

@Vyacheslav333 It's me. I'm the cult. I played the Wii verson. I imported Samba 2000 and burnt a special import CD AND hooked my Dreamcast up to the internet and navigated the Japanese site just so I could download the songs for it. Samba is my Jam and I make no apologies. I'm gonna get this, too. Hoping it feels better than a 6 to me.

Ooh! I didn't know Organ Trail was coming to Switch. It's a super-fun zombie-take on Oregon Trail. Worth checking out!

Happened to me ordering Pokemon Shield from Amazon. Actually had to exchange it TWICE before they finally sent one with the cart inside.

For those talking about choosing one, know that this isn't a Pokemon Red/Blue situation. The two games are completely different. If you want to play all the Zelda, you need to play both.
