I've been following this since it's launch onto Steam early access hoping for a Switch release (just like with thr original DEAD CELLS). Being a huge fan of DEAD CELLS and PoP, this is a insta-buy for me. Can't wait!

I'm worried about the 60fps mode. It's either one of two things. Either they were having issues getting it implemented properly on the S2 or they are going to charge some fee to unlock it with an S2 edition. Feel like I should still hold off on this one.

I completely agree. I thought GEARS and DOOM: THE DARK AGES would have already been announced. FORZA HORIZON would also be great. Hopefully we will see some announcements at The Game Awards next month.

I did a double take when I booted up Nintendo Voice Chat on YouTube this morning and saw our lovely Alex on the screen. Since NL has been my main online community since 2006, it was like seeing a family member on the show! My Yankee brethren treat him with the respect he deserves.

Downloaded the Mario one. Lots of fun.

I have been happy for the most part with the announced 3rd Party titles. However, I would like to see more from Microsoft. I have a PS5, but have been waiting for announcements confirming Indy, DOOM: THE DARK AGES, GEARS OF WAR, and NINJA GAIDEN 4. So far only one of these is confirmed. Hopefully we will get some of these announced at The Game Awards this year.

Nintendo's play makes total sense to me. Give the fans a reason to keep playing, new Switch 1/2 owners a reason to buy/upgrade, and it will make it so Tomodatchi Life has a chance to make some sales before a new AC drops in 1 to 2 years. In Fall of 2027 release the Switch 2 Lite and a new AC at the same time.

I actually really liked the original Battle Arena Toshinden, so I am excited for this.

Japan for the win! Like the Dark Echoes title better too.

I need this and DOOM: THE DARK AGES. And WHY THE HECK DO WE NOT HAVE RARE REPLAY!?!?!?!?!?

Love these types of games. Onto the wishlist it goes!

Can't lie, deep dives like this are neat. Sakurai loads his games with so much content, it's nice to k ow what we're getting. I really hope that KID ICARUS: UPRISING gets a remaster because that thing was packed and was a lot of fun. Actually really interested in this title and I never played the original!

I figured this would be a holiday season title when it was announced as a 2025 release. This is a day-1 for me as I will need it at the in-laws this Christmas!

Wish it was coming out this week, but the night before Halloween is cool.

I really got the impression this game will be packed with more modes including a full story-mode.

Not bad at all. Got it for $5.00 on PS4 and then a free PS5 upgrade, lol. But I do want to see how it fares on my S2.

The Konami collections have been a godsend. Having CONTRA, TMNT and CASTLEVANIA collections has made playing the 8-bit games easy to boot up. I also have a mini-retro player that has HDMI support and multiple retro-handheld. But, between collections like this and NSO, I rarely hook them up. Honestly, will probably pick up a new retro-handheld sometime soon and then will play most of them on there. Wish I had the $$$ to go full in on a Polymega. That's the ultimate goal. This way I can just dump my physical collections on it and be done.

I'm always torn by these sort of questions when it comes to RPGs (which I consider Pokemon to be). In the 90s you read the dialogue and it was like an interactive novel where the characters became your own depending on how you heard their voices in your head. Voice acting makes these games more cinematic and by extension more immersive as a world, but in the end it leaves less to the imagination and requires less from the player.

Woah. This hits super hard. Along with Suda 51, Itagaki-san was the one developer I always followed. The first Ninja Gaiden on XBOX is still my favorite action game of all time. I was there at launch for DEVIL'S THIRD and was so excited the E3 it was announced to be moving to WiiU. It had its issues, but I understood what he was trying to do. Too many game engine changes and not enough fine-tuning of the shooting mechanics really hurt it. However, my favorite multiplayer matches I've ever had were with that game. I was hoping to hear that something was coming out of Valhalla soon. This is incredibly sad news.

Great list. FLYNN, GIBBON, and NORTHGARD all spent some time on my Switch. I have just one question...... HOW THE HECK DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT DEATHWISH ENFORCERS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This sounds great! I will definitely get this now to play with the wife and kids as they all have Switch Lites.

@Ganner
He finally got the new library. Hope is a great thing, maybe the best of things. I will keep hoping we get a KONAMI or SUNSOFT Batman collection. Honestly, SMASH TV should be an unlockable in the MK COLLECTION.

4-5 new AAA releases. About 20 digital titles a year.

So weird, I randomly put this on yesterday afternoon..... Inwas having my kids guess which games the songs originated from. You know, because I guess I'm that dad, lol.

I was just thinking about this. My only wish would be for the whole game to be on a cartridge, but there would have to be a crazy amount of compression wizardry!

Hopefully by Christmas at the latest. This feels like a cozy Fall/Winter Game. And by 'cozy' I mean the retro style. The game will be hardcore! Guess I'll go play the demo again to send good vibes and wishes to Yacht Club Games.

I was not impressed at all when playing the beta test. Maybe I will wait and give it a go on the S2. I have a PS5, but this would be for me. Don't think I can get the family to jump over. I did love TRANSFORMED quite a bit, so I would really like to give this one a chance. I am supporting SEGA's resurgence 100%.

I really want both for the 4K upgrades. However, $70.00 USD is just too much. And I can't bring myself to just download Galaxy 2 (as I have 3D All-Stars) for $40.00 USD. Going to hold out for a sale; maybe it will be $50.00 USD on Black Friday....

@roy130390
Yeah, I was really hoping for Rogue. Would have preferred her over Captain Marvel.

I own most of these, so an upgrade path would be amazing. Fingers crossed!

It's my buddy's birthday today, so I'm getting him VANQUISH on STEAM. He has never played it so I think it's time. I still don't understand why we don't have this on Switch.

I have the Limited Run editions for both. Got the classic NES gray Konami box the Advance Collection. But dang, these are nice!

I know I'm a broken record, but this was my Game of the Summer in 2024. Can't wait to jump back in!

The Forest Temple fight would be amazing, with Gannondorf emerging through one of the portraits.

I've been fortunate enough to play a fair amount of VB. A friend got one at launch and one of my current friends has two. I love Red Alarm so much. Now I just have to decide between $100 and $25.... Also, I still have my S1.... Will my Labo VR headset work???

Both of these collections are pretty solid...

I actually jumped back into RAVENSWATCH this weekend on my S2. A love the game, and docked looks great, but man is handheld rough. This game needs a S2 patch, stat!

I love jumping into a wall run. As such PoP: SoT and NINJA GAIDEN (XBOX) are essential. However, taking the red guidelines away and just going for it, leaping and grappling, and wall running in the original MIRROR'S EDGE is probably my favorite as the balet of movement WAS the game.

Did the beta test on S2, and was not impressed. Probably gonna hold out for Air Riders.

@Tasuki
Hey, if Konami can make a deal with Nickelodeon to release the Cowabunga Collection, anything is possible.

A Batman collection would be sweet.

I was blown away by DOOM 2016 and DOOM: ETERNAL on S1, so my two biggest port hopes prior to the S2 launching were Indy and DOOM: THE DARK AGES. With Indy confirmed, all I really want to see is some Doom Slayer action confirmed. A teaser for a new 3D Mario would be a great way to close out the show with a Spring 2026 release date. Finally, bring on more GCN titles, new SEGA reveals, and the rumored 3D OoT remake!!!

@breach187
Agreed. This seems like the exact situation where Game-Key cards are needed. A game needs to be fully installed for performance needs, but the company still wants something physically on the shelves for consumers. And Star Wars is definitely a franchise that parents/family would grab for a kid for Christmas. However, for me, most of these situations will push me to wait for a sale and just pick it up digitally.

I have it on PS5, but have only put in about 10 hours or so. May pick this up on a sale as it has cross-save.

RAYMAN 2 is the fourth best 3D platformer on the N64, and one of the best looking titles at the time. Don't understand why they held back DK64. Now just give me DKR, CBFD, BODY HARVEST, and TETRISPHERE. WCW REVENGE or WWF NO MERCY would be awesome as well, but definitely not holding my breath.

I've played the demo probably 50+ times at this point. Feel like this is going to be a 9 or 10 for me. Lizardcube said they had a couple SEGA franchises in mind after SoR4, and they definitely did not disappoint. Will be getting this on physical (hopefully) soon.

This one was really hard. I love the EUR box art, but the logo feels like it's from a different game. Ultimately, I had to go with which one would make me pick up the box and flip it over. And that would be the NA cover.

Im thinking late September/Early October. PRIME came out in November, DREAD came out in September, and OTHER M came out in late-August, I believe. All the Metroid games seem to be late Summer / early Fall releases. So I am thinking date announced at the next Direct for a release in early October. I am saying the 12th, lol.

I really love the style of the game and it was great to see Kirby in a 3D adventure. However, being an early Switch 2 adopter and owning a copy of the game, $20 for an upgrade feels a little much. That being said, I expected Nintendo's DLC upgrades to be $20.00 USD. I just wish I could get the upgraded visuals patch for less and not be forced into the new content.

I understand the idea of B, Y, and X being Down, Forward, and Up; respectively. However, I immediately changed mine back to make the A button Dig. Did the same thing with BotW and TotK.
