Sakisa

I never really had an issue with her tbh, i'd have been more annoyed if they replaced her if anything, if only for the sake of consistency.

Daruk>Mipha>Urbosa

And Revali can go kick rocks.

I kinda want the Apollo...

Oh cool, Writer’s Barely Disguised Fetish Show The Video Game is a thing now.

Can't say I agree with the reviewer on V. It's the one I was most excited to revisit and play again.

Just Evil Dead The Game for me.

DS version of Final Fantasy IV and Evil Dead The Game with some friends.

We're getting pumped for Evil Dead Rise in a few weeks.

Seeing it as a double feature with Evil Dead Rise in a few weeks. I don’t think I could stomach seeing Mario on its own, don’t have much faith in it, not like I do for Evil Dead at least.

Finally getting around to Spongebob The Cosmic Shake.

Really great 3D platformer, but man, they're making references that I didn't know were a thing. when the heck did Plankton get a pet worm?

On Switch, i'm still chipping away at Octopath Traveler 2, loving this game a lot, and it's probably my big game this weekend.

On Series X i'm also playing Dead Cells, mostly delving into the Return to Castlevania stuff.

And on PS5 I did briefly play some of the PS4 Ratchet & Clank remake earlier, dunno if i'll keep going with it, it scratched the itch I needed scratched when I did a session with it.

It's one of the most memorable areas for sure, maybe the most memorable. But navigating it has always been a little bit of a pain to me.

I Think I like Kingdom's Edge the most.

Octopath Traveler 2 on Switch, and I kinda got the itch for an old favorite, so Dark Cloud 2 on PS5.

Octopath Traveler 2 on Switch and Like A Dragon Ishin on Series X.

Just Like A Dragon Ishin pretty much.

Oh cool, i'll re-install it when this patch drops. I bought it but...yeah, port has problems and I dropped it like a rock.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on Switch, Like A Dragon Ishin on Xbox, Castlevania SOTN on PS5 in anticipation for Dead Cells DLC.

@Korsica_Is_Best_Girl Agreed. Best 3D Sonic game in my opinion. Glad that the game sold as well as it did and looking forward to this being the blueprint that gets iterated on for the next few titles.

I fully expect it will be worth the wait. Hands down my most anticipated game release this year, and probably a shoo-in for personal GOTY.

I am feeling the wait, but at the very least I know when I do play Silksong, it'll have the polish it needs.

I'd like a good number of these, but Diddy's omission is the only one that feels like a mistake that still needs to be corrected, much like Birdo was.

The Metroid Prime remaster that dropped out of nowhere, the Dead Space remake that did not drop out of nowhere, and between those being my big games, I’ll also be playing Dead Cells and Castlevania Rondo of Blood. Getting unreasonably hyped for Dead Cells Return to Castlevania next month, and I don’t know if that’s my love for both Dead Cells and Castlevania, or just my sheer desperation for a new Castlevania game period.

Post game Hi-Fi Rush, that game continues to be an absolute delight and might be my favorite first party Xbox game since Killer Instinct 2013, but I’m also getting back into Dead Cells since I haven’t really played it since the first DLC, and that Castlevania DLC is coming up. Man…they added a lot to this game since I played last. The other indie character weapons are great!

Might dabble around with Valkyrie Profile Lenneth on PS5 as well.

Remake Dragon Quest V and Final Fantasy VI

This looks really good

Played this on gamepass. Phenomenal game, was going to buy digitally on Xbox to own permanently, but that Switch physical edition is tempting.

This is one of a small handful of Gamecube games that I still have an old tube TV with a Gamecube hooked up to it, so I can revisit it.

This game really does need a re-release, even if it’s only a barebones port to modern hardware. It deserves to reach a wider and modern audience.

Deserves more tbh. This is tied with Grounded 1.0 for my favorite games this year.

I sincerely hope that SMT is also multiplat going forward.

Don't get me wrong, SMTV was perfectly fine to play on Switch, but it could look and run a lot better on more powerful hardware.

Really cool crossover, love me some Chainsaw Man and the anime has gone above and beyond in adapting the manga.

A solid 7 from me.

It’s a 7/10 to me, rough in areas but a solid template for Sonic going forward if they tweak things. I really enjoyed the combat personally.

It isn’t worth getting worked up over a review from a person that completed and didn’t enjoy it, if you like it, be happy with that. This is the first Sonic since Unleashed that really resonated with me on a story front too.

Xbox for me

Hope it runs fine on Switch though.

It’s Sally Acorn, not Sally THE Acorn.

SEGA consider this my job application.

I’ll add my two cents as a 30 year old that grew up loving Sonic. I’ve always considered him a mix of shonen with cartoony stuff, especially with the old Satam cartoon, anime and comics.

I trust no one more than Ian Flynn to strike this balance, considering the masterful work he did to redeem the Archie Sonic comic after Ken Penders, and the great work he’s doing with IDW right now, as opposed to the bozos that made Happy Tree Friends and learned about Sonic by reading about him on Wikipedia.

Really hope this sticks the landing. Rooting for Sonic to put out a certified banger again.

“Could it maybe be time to shift the focus away from the fog-“

No. Bad NintendoLife.

They just put the focus back on the fog, it’s too soon to throw in the towel!

Absolutely. Trinity Masquerade edition!

My hype levels for this are at a fever pitch. This is the big ‘take a vacation’ game for me this year and it’s right around the corner!

I’d love to finally be able to play this supposed masterpiece.

Still got my Trinity Masquerade edition locked in, been waiting for this a long time and vacation starts Thursday!

This is my biggest game this year.

@Arawn93 Agreed.

One of my favorite tragic villains in gaming and it's carried entirely on the back of the sequel to the game he was a villain in.

Very much looking forward to 3. Don’t need to read this, pretty confident in my knowledge on Bayo lore and events.

…Hope this comment section doesn’t go where I think it’s going either.

@Would_you_kindly So they should give their names so they can lose their jobs so you’ll believe them? Not likely.

I’m still picking up my Masquerade Trinity edition. I planned time off work for this game and I’m not cancelling it over this. I feel bad for Hellena Taylor, but this game is not just about her.

I DID finish the original!

Probably pick this up Friday.

Unfortunate, but ultimately understandable

Welp, GameFAQs had a good run

Better this be able to be separated from Triangle Strategy at a glance so I’m happy with what we’re getting.

Thoughts: No Nintendo, I will not become a farmer.

Thanks for confirming Pikmin 4 for next year tho.

I love that there's a Sonic theme song with an official 'Sonic' version and 'explicit' version now.

Very much looking forward to Friday
