Getting it after work today, didn't play the original that much so I'm looking forward to trying it again. Used copies of the DS games are expensive as hell right now, especially Platinum, so this is the easiest and cheapest way to play them, at least where I live.
Will get Diamond as I like the design of the legendary more. Great to play between Shin Megami Tensei V sessions.

Nice to see SMTV in the top 10. It's awesome! Maybe my GOTY.
@Otoemetry Pokémon Diamond and Pearl might debut at number one, but yeah: UK really likes their shooters and football games. Oh... and GTA 5 of course.
@Liam_Doolan So the follow up question would be "why?", did anyone ask?
I guess it could be an accessibility feature, but then another question pops up: why dark orange text against black background? It's pretty hard to read.
Picking up my copy today, along with Shin Megami Tensei V (hype!!) and the European physical edition of Doki Doki Literature Club (which finally has been released!).
@thiz Is it really? Most SMT games are solid RPG experiences, so I wouldn't call it a wild card. Based on what we've seen so far and some hands on previews from gaming channels, this game oozes quality. My bet is that this game will be at least an 8 on average, but probably higher.
If you haven't played a SMT game before, this title looks like the best and easiest way to get into the series.
Still playing Metroid Dread, hoping my heart will work until the end.
Other than that, I'm playing two card battle games on Switch: Super Dragon Ball Heroes and Yu-Gi-Oh! – Legacy of the Duelist. Two fun titles! No masterpieces, but entertaining, and sometimes that's enough.
All the first three games are 10/10 in my book, and I'm leaning towards giving The Great Ace Attorney the same grade. But I love all the games in this franchise.
Favorite case? The last one in Justice for All.
Oh... and it's a big shame we never got Investigations 2. Miles Edgeworth is my favorite character, and he has the best theme song (introduced in the case I mention above).
Kakarot is pretty good so far. I loved DBZ as a kid, had all 42 manga books. But eventually I moved away from it, so these days I view it mostly with nostalgia glasses on. But the game's fun!

This lady is awesome!
Re: Poll: What's The Best Pokémon Game Ever?
Pokémon Yellow will remain my favorite, a true classic from my childhood.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Outshines Other Popular JRPGs At UK Retail
Words can't describe how good this game is. Well deserved!
Re: UK Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V Earns Top Ten Debut, But Animal Crossing Leads The Way For Switch
@UltimateOtaku91 Not strange, considering Persona is more popular and accessible than SMT.
Re: UK Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V Earns Top Ten Debut, But Animal Crossing Leads The Way For Switch
@Otoemetry Yeah, we'll see.

Re: Random: Metroid Dread's Zero Suit Samus Model Is Rather Detailed Up Close
2 seconds × 10000000000 deaths is a lot of time.
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei V - The Best Entry Yet In This Dark, Engrossing RPG Series
Man, one more week..... aaaarghhh!
Re: Video: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Treated To New Commercial
Poor Psyduck.
Re: Atlus Broadcasting Shin Megami Tensei V Live Stream Next Week
I've been watching some of the demon reveals on Atlus' YouTube page. The design of the monsters is so detailed and creative.
Why can't it be the 12th already?
Re: Video: 15 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In November
Shin Megami Tensei V is the must have this month.
But I will also get Pokémon Diamond and the Zelda Game & Watch.
Maybe the GTA Trilogy.

Re: Review: Star Fox 64 - A Cinematic Series High Point
@JoyBoy Have you tried the 3DS version? It's excellent!
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 - The Best Launch Game Ever Made
Played through the 3D All-Stars version, and yes, it’s still a 10/10.

Re: Oh No, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Has Been Delayed On Switch
If more work is needed, this is good news. I hate when companies rush out broken games that need 500 patches afterwards.
Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
Golden Axe and Streets of Rage – two childhood classics for me.

Re: Nintendo Aware Of Crash Error "Near The End" Of Metroid Dread, Says It's Working On A Fix
@Kidfunkadelic83 Thanks! Good to hear. I haven't used any markers at all, I think the map explains things on its own.
Just beat the what I believe was the seventh boss (it's hard to tell, as some bosses more feel like mini bosses, and I'm not counting the E.M.M.I.'s).
Re: Nintendo Aware Of Crash Error "Near The End" Of Metroid Dread, Says It's Working On A Fix
Is this marker on the map there from the beginning or do I have to put it there by myself?
Re: Japanese Charts: Metroid Dread Outsells Far Cry 6 To Claim Number One
Well deserved for Dread. It is so curseword good!
Re: Poll: So, Which Switch OLED Did You Buy?
Haven't gotten one, and not sure I will, but if I'd get one, it would be the white one, as I already have the neon version of the original model.
Re: Soapbox: Why Apollo Justice Might Be The Best Ace Attorney Game
It's the best of the new "trilogy". But I don't think it's as good as the original games.

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Dread Just Had The Strongest Opening Week Of Any Metroid Game Ever
@Cakefish Yeah, I know all that. I was just wondering about the US one. Thanks anyway.
@Grumblevolcano That explains it. Thanks!
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Dread Just Had The Strongest Opening Week Of Any Metroid Game Ever
I'm more interested how it did in the US and Japanese charts. UK is UK.
How come you rarely publish the US numbers? Is the chart not available, unlike the UK and Japanese ones?
Re: XSEED Is Bringing An Updated Version Of Corpse Party To Switch Later This Month
Nice! Never finished it on 3DS.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Metroid Dread On Switch
@120frames-please Yeah, you really feel under pressure in this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 9th)
Metroid Dread, of course.
Other than that?
Ni No Kuni II, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, The Silver Case, The Great Ace Attorney, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Super Dragon Ball Heroes, etc.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Metroid Dread On Switch
This game is a blast! I hate the E.M.M.I.'s, makes my pulse go up, lol. But it's great scary fun!
Re: Review: Tetris Effect: Connected - Mizuguchi's Masterpiece Finds Its Ideal Platform

Physical release with all games on one cart and I'll buy it day one!
Re: Poll: Metroid Dread Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Picked it up today, along with a poster as a pre-order bonus. I loved Fusion so much on the GBA. Dread looks awesome!
Re: Poll: The Nintendo Switch OLED Is Out Today, Are You Getting One?
Nah, I'm waiting.
Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Goku in thumbnail = 10/10.
But what about Shrek?
Re: Disgaea's Dev Cooks Up A New "Survival Strategy" Dungeon RPG For Switch

Re: Square Enix Unveils Dungeon Encounters, Directed By Hiroyuki Ito
Minimalistic, but cool!
Hope this and Voice of Cards get physical releases eventually, but I doubt it.
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Ball Z Debuts In Second As Switch Takes Seven Of The Top Ten
Kakarot is pretty good so far. I loved DBZ as a kid, had all 42 manga books. But eventually I moved away from it, so these days I view it mostly with nostalgia glasses on. But the game's fun!
Piccolo still is the best character! Underrated!

Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - Feature-Packed, But Far From Top Banana
I'm only in it for the main game, so sounds great to me, but I feel sorry for those having high hopes for the mini games.
Re: Yoko Taro's New Game Is A Swords-And-Sorcery Strategy RPG With Cards
This looks interesting to me! Hope we get a physical release!
Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis Expansion Pack Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
Cool that we getting N64 games, but should've been included in the regular price plan.
