Why they wasted one of these slots on URBAN CHAMPION, of all games, I will never understand. Mach Rider would have been a better choice. Or hell, they could have finally brought Devil World to the US as a 3D game, that would have been pretty stylish.

I know "like if you cry every time" is an outdated meme, but... This game seriously makes me blubber like a baby. I'll always recommend it to anyone that will listen.

Ghost Trick on Switch, Ghost Trick on Switch, Ghost Trick on Switch...

Blizzard: "DON'T FORGET, NINTENDO, WE TOTALLY WON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU WANT TO USE TRACER IN SMASH, Y'HEAR? We're just going to leave her on your porch, go ahead and come out and get her when you're ready! Okay, tah-tah now!"

Man. This game will never live down that marketing fumble. The game they advertised sounded so much more interesting than the game they unveiled.

They should have made their own internal crossover Musou the best it could be first! Warriors All-Stars had so many glaring omissions — Rygar, Dana from Solomon's Key, Bomb Jack, some Monster Rancher critters, and a Wii U/Switch port could have added a Fatal Frame girl or two.

It can't be THAT much of a hurdle to overcome; it's still available on Steam as we speak.

Awesome. Sony should keep the trend going and pump out HD ports of Champions of Norrath and Return to Arms.

Funny that you mention the infamous GK3 cat-hair mustache puzzle. While it understandably sounds so stupid out of context, it has a certain (albeit miniscule) justification if you think about it this way — neither Gabriel nor his intended lookalike target has a mustache, but by ADDING a mustache to the target's ID, he makes all the other imperfections in his "costume" a lot less likely to be scrutinized. "Yeah, he has the same huge mustache as his ID... Huh, those wrinkles aren't there... Maybe he just got some face cream."

Still no excuse for why Gabe chose cat hair, though, or how he went about acquiring it.

Man oh man, I wish Betrayal at House on the Hill would get a digital version. And no, the add-on for Tabletop Simulator does NOT count. Something actually optimized for the platform which could give each player a personal view of the house layout and meaningfully portray the Haunt elements as more than just tokens.

An unexpected surprise!

C'mooon, Taito/Squenix, give Hamster permission to port Cadash!

Considering WWF (now WWE) had to pay Marvel to use Hulk Hogan's ring name until Bollea bought the rights, I could see this being true, sadly. Though since Street Fighter is STILL going, they had to have come to an agreement which just gave Capcom the rights eventually.

It was definitely impressive for the comparatively humble Game Boy Color. I would also throw some love towards the Deja Vu I & II combo cartridge, both for being solid adaptations of the MacVenture classics (even if syringes were still censored into "capsules"; practice safe drug use, kids) and also bringing Deja Vu II to Nintendo players for the first time.

@Turbo857 And we can't have artists expending EFFORT, can we? ;P

Man, after the whole deal with the Star Control lawsuit with Stardock Entertainment, I was so happy to see TFB on an upward swing with Crash and Spyro. And now this nonsense... >.<

I nabbed it on PS4; definitely wanted to support one of the grand-daddies of gaming, just wanted it somewhere with a little more "oomph" under the hood to help mitigate the issues.

I'm going to assume Skate is the third person; it looks like the rim of a ball cap sticking out to the top right of the silhouette.

Oooh, FIVE characters. Will wonders never cease???

These Diner Dash clones always make me snicker. ONE person dealing with every customer; you -might- get lucky and have an assistant in the actual kitchen, but odds are good that you'll be personally responsible for that, too. Now if only they made you deal with the logistics of restaurant management, too (like ordering your ingredients), then they'd be a perfect microcosm of the capitalist dream.

It's a lot like the sniper rifle portions in Bionic Commando: Elite Forces. https://youtu.be/aCU8OlHza7M

These look like they were made with a lot of love. <3

@Aurumonado Digital only in the west; they're considered too niche to risk making cartridges for.

It's honestly baffling that they haven't published Beyond Good & Evil HD on Switch, considering the GameCube was one of the most popular (relatively speaking) platforms for the original release, plus the fact Switch has no chance of playing BG&E2.

I'm looking forward to them, have them preordered to help Ninty's niche works succeed.

@Bass_X0 Strider is famously a joint ownership between Capcom and Motomiya Kikaku, and he was willing to play ball for this collection along with MVC3 and Infinite. I see no reason another mangaka can't do the same.

Magic Sword, Gun.Smoke and Saturday Night Slam Masters, please! I won't be so silly as to ask for/demand licensed games like AVP or D&D; Red Earth is basically my "highly unlikely but still possible" wish.

And yet STILL no mention on if it supports the Labo VR camera set-up.

One RPG trilogy which desparately needs an HD rerelease is the Shadow Hearts games. Such a marvelous mix of horror, humor, and alternate history, and they're trapped on the PS2. >.<

It's nice that she's had such a lucrative career from such humble Game Boy Color origins.

Yeah, I'd like to see them do something else, honestly. But I guess a new Tower Defense would be nice, if they HAD to revisit Steamworld.

There was a really hilarious fake Direct leak posted on Twitter a few months ago, and one of the bullet points was "Suikoden collection", and the more I think about that, the more I want it.

Also, stop sitting on Bloody Roar.

Best news this week.

No way they'll talk about it at E3, but I'm eager to learn what they're having Forever Entertainment work on. Still hoping it's remakes of the Gaia trilogy.

Jill and Nemesis, calling it now.

@BloodNinja @dogmanextreme @OorWullie Having just tried out my preordered copy, I can confirm that this version includes an aid of sorts. In the party submenu is a "Story" option — picking it takes you to an auto-updating journal of what you've done, as well as your current goal within the chapter.

When I saw the Aztec imagery in the intro, I was silently hoping that Nihon Falcom was revisiting their Asteka series of games, which came to America as Tombs & Treasure on NES. That game helped inspire a lot of my interest in past civilizations. But Aztech looks pretty awesome and solid.

I wish Pictlogica Final Fantasy (basically FF Picross) had crossed the pond. Squenix makes some weird decisions with their spinoffs sometimes.

It's so great how much love the devs have been pouring into this wonderful game. Bless 'em!

I got a similar letter in response to one I mailed them regarding Eternal Darkness being made available on Switch in some way, shape or form. It's totally just PR without meaning anything, but it was nice to hear from them when I figured it would be thrown away and forgotten. https://twitter.com/sabeythang/status/1323674985290960904?s=20

A piece of advice for those jumping into it new — DON'T start with Lute or Asellus. That's the equivalent of jumping into the deep end of the pool. The best order I would suggest as follows:

Red — Linear, lets you get used to the combat mechanics without worrying about where you should be going.

T260-G — Mechs are pretty easy to outfit in terms of gear, so you're not overwhelmed by the SaGa brand of stat gains.

Blue — Focuses on the magic schools as the ultimate goal, so you learn how their sidequests work and you get a taste of what powers you want to utilize in future scenarios.

Emelia — Starts opening the sandbox more, but you still have clear objectives, plus Emelia has access to a dedicated training area to bolster her stats so you don't need to worry about where to find a grinding spot.

Riki — Probably the last scenario which can be considered "fair" in that it gives you both a clear direction and good stat gain opportunities, but you also have to contend with Riki being a monster, so his evolutions will require a guide.

Asellus — The final scenario which gives you a clear goal, but it is HARD. And they're also expanding it beyond where the PSX version went.

Lute — THE most open-ended story, bar none, to the point that you may wonder what the hell you're even supposed to be doing if you don't have the context from the first six stories.

Eager to see how well they integrated Fuse's story into SaGa Frontier, as well as Asellus' complete tale. I hope they kept her well documented undertones intact.

Curious to see Pokemon Snap, too.

Darn, none of those silhouettes look like Roo. The 2nd one looks like it could be Shiva, though, which would still be wonderful.

Pretty sure the correct answer is Geometry Wars 99.

@RodSD64 The second EO was even better, it allowed for so much more to do in so many more locations. I know it's considered a massive joke now since the Game Grumps played (part of) it, but it really is such a well-made game.

C'moooon, Ninty. You still have Geist, StarTropics, Endless Ocean and arguably Cruis'n that could use Spirit representation.

@anoyonmus The Switch is region-free; all you need to do is make a Japanese account and you can access its eShop just fine. Some consumers would be okay with dealing with Japanese-only text to play a game they're interested in.

The NES library is just so huge and varied, this was destined (doomed?) to be one of the most subjective ever.

Wow, I do not remember that Culdcept one at ALL, and America apparently got it according to the list. I must not have been as diligent as I thought.

Ooh, naisu~ Collect, collect, collect.

It still blows my mind that you can download Too Human — for FREE — on the Xbox One and Xbox Series platforms now, after all that happened in that game's sordid development & release history.
