I actually love this! Having an adjunctive card game or puzzle game, even if it is simple, makes the world seem even more immersive.

This comment section is getting heated! Save it for the splatfests, guys 😝

I knew this was a Kate Gray article before even opening it up haha, brilliant 😝

Still waiting on my Nia figure from them! Great quality, but close to $200. I think it releases summer next year.

I'm actually really into this one... can't wait to play it soon!

All over this one! Thanks for making it official SE!

Aww Fidough is going to be my butter half.

What's with these recent headlines including big-name games that have nothing more than a word or general theme in common with a new game? Like every farm sim is a new "Stardew Valley" and every game with 3D gravity-based mechanics is a new "Mario Galaxy." This has literally nothing to do with Paper Mario guys, come on. 😝

A perfect 10!! Let's gooooo!

It's not Final Fantasy Tactics, but it is definitely close enough. I would HAPPILY take this all day. Triangle Strategy was fine, but didn't scratch that FFTA itch.

Love this attention to detail! I have played every Paper Mario game including Origami King. Actually just started replaying Paper Mario on the N64 online service. Man, nothing comes CLOSE to those first two games in the series. The combat, partners, character progression, overall charm... The only thing that has improved in the newer games is the graphics and that's it. For me, the slow death of the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series has been the biggest disappointment in Nintendo's history.

He's moving to the left guys, get a grip! 😝

Man, nothing slaps harder than some Xenoblade combat music.

How dare you sully Super Mario Galaxy's name with this hogwash! (I'm joking... partly.)

Donkey Kong 64 is the only one left that I really, really want. It gets a lot of flack, but I don't understand it. It is one of my favorite collectathons to this day!

The game's not even out yet and here we are talking about DLC for it, haha. 😝

Let's go! I have kept this one of my radar for a long time--glad we don't have to wait too much longer.

Start with Pirate's Curse if you can! Then go forward and backward from there.

Aw, that's too bad. She always brought good energy to the treehouse.

What a nice surprise! I want to learn more, but what I see looks really good.

YES! Let's go! One of my favorites.

I know it's not officially a Stardew Valley sequel, but I'm definitely going to treat it that way! Can't wait 😁

The games I'm most looking forward to seeing are Pokemon Puzzle League, Pokemon Stadium (hello minigames), and Donkey Kong 64.

This game... is everything. I have been waiting my whole life for a fully-fledged 3D Kirby game. I could not be more excited!

The demo is awesome!!

Ryza for Smash! Sorry…someone had to 😂

That is really, really cool. But like others have said, that is a hefty price to pay. You can practically get a Switch Lite for the same price.

Just what the doctor ordered! And it's only $49.99... I honestly would've gladly paid full price for a game of this quality.

I'm an orthodontist... should I do this for free braces? 😂

Next, Alex Olney will be confirmed as a playable character in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. I'm calling it.

Ah, we can finally breathe again.

As if I couldn't love a game developer more than I already do. My obsession with WayForward becomes even more unhealthy for helping revive a beloved franchise from my childhood!!!

Jon was right once again!! WarioWare here we come

At least the music is pretty good...

Can't get enough of this game. I don't mind the occasional chugging/frame drops that happen along with some other minor inconveniences. It is a game I can drop in and smash enemies for a few minutes at a time. Can't wait for the DLC to add new challenges!

I don't think I've ever wanted a rumor to be true as much as this one.

Someone took Bowser's Furry way too literally.

Waifu Wars: Ni Hao Edition

LOL, I think the strategy is just to forget this game ever existed.

I think Dragon Sinker is the only one worth getting on this list IMO. It's all the classic Kemco "RPG Maker" stuff.

Great topic for discussion, Kate! Personally, no I do not think there are too many as it is one of my favorite genres (I play games to relax, not to stress myself out). I do, however, agree that I wish developers differentiated themselves from Stardew and Harvest Moon a bit more and tried new things. You will never be the next "Stardew" if you just try to copy them.

This bunny FITTINGLY looks like he could fit in Five Nights at Freddy's. I don't know which is more horrifying...

Battle 64 looks pretty cool! As long as lag is minimal, I could see it being a great time. Otherwise, I would be frustrated out of my mind with lagging bombs.

Best DLC character yet! Absolutely cannot wait to play them!

My body is ready!

Yikes, I'll stick to playing Stardew Valley. Why Natsume doesn't return to AWL or MM style is beyond me.

That's not a bad prize. I'll take it!

What a great article. This game has a special place in my heart. I vividly remember mining and fishing and taking care of my sweet animals until I got old and perished. It shocked me that the game actually ended and I couldn't keep playing. I got a sick feeling in my stomach but ultimately looked back on the game very fondly.

@CammyUnofficial Great take! I appreciate hearing your insight, that makes a lot of sense.

Can the haters just... stop for a little bit? This is a childhood dream for many of us and they're definitely headed in the right direction finally.
