Whoever

More than anything I want more retro games, especially HGSS and BW2.

Mimikyu but Marshadow and Salazzle are also neat.

It's a 40 MB download, a physical release would be tremendously wasteful.

At least we've got Home support confirmed I guess. The biggest question I have is if they'll add a means to get Deoxys or the Altering Cave stuff.

I really hope they end up doing more of these. I'd be thrilled to buy HGSS and BW1&2 on the Switch if they'd make them available, and I'd most likely pick up Emerald and Platinum too.

I'm really hoping we get some kind of announcement of more of the games in the future. I really want some kind of means to play the Johto and Unova games on Switch and I wouldn't at all complain about having the rest.

I really wish the NSO icons were more often done the way they're done for the Xenoblade games, where they're all grouped as one series rather than being divided among games. No good reason I can't use a Mario Tennis character with a Mario Party background.

I'll probably pick it up at some point since it's only $5, but since I only really got X because I had a voucher expiring I had to use on something before it expired I'm not really rushing to play it. Game never really interested me nearly as much as the rest of the series, the mech stuff's just a giant turnoff.

Do hope though that this leads to eventual updates for the other Xenoblade games. 2 in particular would super benefit from it.

It's really close between Inkay and Phantump. I'll go with the former because I like Malamar more than Trevanant.

Probably Snivy, though a dark horse I'm fond of is Sigilyph.

Not touched Among Us in ages but that might motivate me to return to it, I'm always a sucker for Ace Attorney.

Also the fact the Edgeworth skin happened the same week the AAI collection came out is going to very get my hopes up that we finally get more Ace Attorney news soon.

It kind of came out at an awkward time for me but I'll definitely pick it up at some point.

Probably like a 7. It plays well but I wish there were a middle ground on the AI between, "Completely ineffectual," and, "Aggressive rubber-banding," and it does feel pretty scant on content.

Also I have no clue why these games nowadays won't actually let you play a full length game of tennis.

Probably Gastrodon, love that dumb thing especially its little mouth and its cry.

Definitely wanting to pick it up at some point but it'll probably wait a bit, is coming out the same day as Death Match Love Comedy and I've been wanting to play that ever since I first played Raging Loop so it's the bigger VN priority for me at the moment.

Not going to see the movie but wouldn't mind having that Rosalina poster, it looks neat.

Probably Gardevoir, though it's partially by default since gen 3's definitely my least favorite chunk of the Pokedex. Got ones I like but a ton of them I find forgettable at best including all of the starters.

I went with Snubbull but it's very close between it and Chikorita.

@KayFiOS It's actually just that Ubisoft aren't the ones doing it, Atari is.

@DanijoEX-The-Kumiho All of them have had their music changed.

Given how much it's being savaged for running poorly and replacing all of the music without telling people I'd probably wait to see if they improve anything before committing to it.

At the moment juggling between Yoshi's Island, Let's Go Eevee, and Mario Tennis Fever, will likely finish the former today. Mostly in a holding pattern waiting for Death Match Love Comedy.

It's between Squirtle and Mewtwo.

@UpsideDownRowlet I'd imagine it's a visibility thing. It'd be a lot easier to lose track of a red and white ball than a silver one.

Never really been fond of actually playing pinball, but it certainly looks neat and I can see where if you have the money to spare and inclination to spend it on this it'd be a really cool thing to have.

@DominionGamma Nobody on earth thought Sonic Crossworlds would sell better than Mario Kart, there was never any chance of that. It was people arguing that they think it's a better game, which is debatable (and personally I wholeheartedly think it is) but doesn't necessarily correlate to sales.

Doesn't exactly seem like the new Yakuza's off to a great start either, between being ranked 25th on the eShop and 59th on PSN. It's losing to preorders for a Star Trek Voyager game so, uh, yeah.

Sledge Bro's such a weird enemy in that ever since they brought them back in the first NSMB they seem to turn up surprisingly often but they rarely ever actually do anything with them. Despite being in all of those games NSMBWii is the only one of them where they appear in more than one level and that just seems like such a strange choice.

Wonder if Rathalos will still be in.

So far I'm honestly kind of genuinely surprised at just how lame the story mode is. I was figuring it'd pretty much just be a collection of quick matches but that was giving it too much credit, it feels like just a really meandering tutorial. Given there's a separate How to Play mode anyway I have no clue why they did it this way.

What I'd really like is either a collection or subscription service containing at minimum all of the 2D games, though certainly wouldn't object to the 3DS ones as well. But I'd be pretty satisfied if we could just get gens 1 to 3 on NSO.

@ROMhaiku I think stuff like the Romance and Comedy routes depend a lot on when you do them, probably does a lot to affect your tolerance for those. Personally I never minded those ones at all, the ones I really found rough to get through were Box of Blessings and especially Serial Battles. That last one's the only one where I had to do it in chunks in between other routes.

Kodaka's been saying that pretty much ever since the game came out. I'm down. Any DLC they put out I'll buy. Actually just ordered a few of the acrylic stands the other day.

A route I want to see at some point is a body swap one. Be relatively easy to do and think there's a ton of comedy potential in that.

Also please have a route where Eva and Kamyuhn actually get to have some extended interactions. Just one route of that would help a lot with feeling like it's patching a big hole in the game.

Did always rub me the wrong way that they removed the Virtual Boy in the English version of Melee, so I'm glad to see they're celebrating it now. Yeah, it was a misfire and a flop, it's still a part of their history and has its fans.

Guessing we'll have more characters announced in the State of Play, given that was how they announced this last group and we have nothing lined up after Tangle and Whisper.

Got it preordered, though being fair that's in large part because 1), I never got around to getting the last one, and 2), my roommate wanted to go half-and-half on it. If I already had the last one or had to pay full price I'd probably be a lot more hesitant.

It wouldn't fix the casting issue but feel like they could've saved themselves a lot of headaches if they'd just announced going in that this was a new continuity instead of waiting to spring it on people after the outrage has already happened.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Given they've been pretty open about this being come up with as a new way to extend the series I'd say it's pretty definite that this is either going to take things in a new direction away from the 3 anime or it's going to be some kind of stealth sequel to V3. Doubt it'll just be a, "Stay in the same place in continuity," kind of thing since they've made it pretty apparent that reviving the series is one of the aims of this project.

Honestly surprised they're taking preorders given the talk about its progress around the anniversary was making it sound like the game was nowhere near done and the demo felt very limited compared to the other demos they've done. Whole thing made me really doubtful the game was actually coming out this year.

Speaking of, adding onto the "as long as the base game" thing, during the anniversary stuff they changed their tune to saying it's significantly longer than the base game.

The whole, "Big guy with an annoying kid he babysits throughout the game," genre is kind of just a giant turnoff to me.

@Notsoavid Would be nice if those go up at some point, though I could see them being one at a time if only because Girl Who Stands Behind gives you three whole soundtracks on its own.

@EarthboundBenjy At least personally I feel like people tend to forget a lot of really down points of Super's writing. It has its peaks for sure, especially in the endgame, but whole chapters go by with basically nothing happening, it's prone to clumsily introducing new plot points or just waving off things, it constantly tries for big emotional moments just to either have not set them up at all (chapter 5) or immediately wave them off like it's nothing (Luvbi), and pretty much every single second of screentime given to the whole Dark and Light Prognosticus subplot never makes the slightest bit of sense (especially how they freely acknowledge the Light Prognosticus was entirely written as completely unfounded propaganda to put a more positive spin on things and yet still slavishly follow it and act like it's in any way important) and ultimately winds up pretty much going nowhere anyway.

I think Origami King's mostly an, "Eh, it's fine," game - I'd probably say it's about on par with Super but pales in comparison to the first two, but that still makes it miles better than Sticker Star, Color Splash, and Paper Jam - but it does have a pretty sweet soundtrack.

@Dazman Um, what? Virtually every Pokemon game has had some crazy nonsense in it. Just to name a few examples...

Gen 1 - Speaks for itself really, these games are held together with prayer, down to a whole type not functioning properly and Focus Energy doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do.

Gen 2 - The Apricorn balls are poorly coded garbage that don't work at all (for instance, the Moon Ball gives a boost to Pokemon that evolve via Burn Heal), there's the daycare experience glitch, the trading to gen 1 was very poorly handled and can cause all kinds of problems...

Gen 3 - The berry glitch is the big one, given it completely destroys date-based events a year after you start the game and that can cause all sorts of issues.

Gen 4 - Being able to surf off the map, acid rain, just the general sluggishness of them, Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur, things vanishing off the GTS, Giratina's form change not changing its stats if given the item in the PC, these games were especially rough for this point in the series.

Gen 5 - Sky Drop was a total mess that just broke everything to the point they had to ban it online, the N and mascot stuff in BW2 could be permanently lost in the Japanese version if you dared to just, like, leave the room too early, Challenge Mode's stats not actually working...

If anything the most stable games in the series were probably the 3DS ones. Granted there was the Lumiose glitch in X & Y though being fair they didn't take very long to fix that.

Randomly fell into replaying Let's Go Eevee for some reason. Need to get back to the run I had going of Final Fantasy 7 but probably finish that first.

I definitely agree with the idea that NSMBU is much better. It isn't exactly the most aesthetically appealing game, Wonder beats it there, but it has very tight level design and some great pure platforming, while I think Wonder really suffers for an over-reliance on the Wonder effects, especially on a repeat playthrough, and when you get past those the level design often feels very basic.

Wonder is still pretty fun, not bashing it, but I do feel like it doesn't scratch the platformer itch quite the same as most of the other 2D Mario games for me and I'd probably rather play most of the others than I would it if the mood hits me.

I'll probably need to wait and see what the consensus is on the single player aspect, since I highly doubt I'm ever even going to touch the multiplayer stuff. Rosalina's tempting but for the most part this feels like them charging way too much for a pretty lacking update.

I'll probably get Bomberman at some point but I just got Escape From Ever After and Mario Tennis so not for right now.

@EVIL-C Almost like people aren't a hive mind and when you read two different opinions they're probably coming from two separate groups.

Bomberman and Paranormasight were all I really cared about but that's two more things than some Directs.

The Grace one looks okay, the Leon one looks really, really rough.
