Never played this game, but being from Vegas and a die hard UNLV fan, having the greatest player in UNLV history here complete with his outfit showing homage to Vegas really makes me want to get this now.

@FishyS That was my first thought about this review. Most puzzles are supposed to only have one solution. Yes, TotK is a great game, but if it's going to make every game from now on get a lower score, we're in trouble.

It may not be the greatest game ever, but the original Figment is one of my favorite games and one of the few that I would consider important to me and my life because of the timing of when I played it. I have been looking forward to this maybe as much as TotK.

I love Picross, and maybe if they ever release some sort of collection of these for cheap I might cave, but I just can't get myself to buy any of these when there are so many ways to play Picross-type puzzles for free online if I ever get the hankering.

I thought Hollow Knight was good, but it was far and away the most depressing game I've ever played. This looks like I would actually enjoy it more. Looking forward to this now.

I was looking forward to this until I played the demo. There is way too much boring dialogue between the action (and I am even counting doing puzzles as "action"), and then the puzzles were all remarkably obvious and easy. It sounds like they might become more difficult, though, which would be good. The shmup part was actually my favorite part, but maybe that's because I'm not generally a shmup fan so I liked that it wasn't over-the-top difficult. I'm still likely to interested at a big discount, but that's about it.

Yeah, I just hit this bug last night, but not in the same place. It was like a circular underwater arena and when Kirby froze I just kind of bounced around the circle going right through the boss whenever we met. It was funny and I just watched it for a couple minutes, but I think I'll stop until the patch hits.

Maybe one of these months I can join in. I had no interest in Slay the Spire, and I've already played Earthbound. As for next month's list, I want every game on it but don't have any of them yet, so unless one of them goes on a good sale I'm out next month, too. Sad.

@Dogorilla It's been a while since I've played Cross and I only played it once so I could be misremembering, but I remember thinking there is almost no connection to Trigger until one particular moment probably about 3/4 through the game when there is suddenly a huge dump of connections at one point in the story. So that one section of the game will be more poignant if you've played Trigger before, but most of the game is perfectly fine to play this first.

@Fizza Yes, that's the first "group" that I made.

Definitely one of the worst games I've ever played. I understand it's really not for me because I don't suffer from the things the game addresses, but there are other games that aren't for me either that are much better than this (Celeste was great, didn't really care for Gone Home but at least it was fine). I think "insufferable" that was used before is a good word for it.

I played a game against the computer and it was fun. It obviously doesn't look amazing but it played great which is much more important. Except for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to throw the ball. Every out I got was either a flyout or a strikeout. If there was a grounder my fielder just held it until the runner reached first and it moved on to the next batter. Still managed to win, though.

Give us a furnace-in-a-boat!

I'm most excited for Winback because I've never played it. Of course, I'm in the minority that loves that they keep putting these new and slightly obscure NES and SNES games up rather than the same old ones I've already played.

When we were kids, my brother and I went all over the neighborhood for weeks doing whatever odd jobs people wanted us to do to earn the money to buy Skate or Die for the NES. Man, that game turned out to be awful, but we still loved it and played it all the time because of how much work went into earning it.

Looks kind of like a 2D Red Steel, which were awesome games. This looks good.

I think a Gameboy one could be doable, but I have always said they will never make an N64 mini for one reason: the controller. It was too big and to take advantage of what made the N64 special they would need 4 of them. There is no way to make that "mini."

Justice for All was also my first game in the series. I got if for $2 when Circuit City was going out of business. I'm actually currently playing through Ace Attorney Investigations 2, and it's fun to see all of the different people from the main games making cameos.

This was the first game that I ever personally owned. I still remember my parents taking my brother and I to Toys R Us so we could each pick out a game, and I was drawn simply to the gold cartridge. Having to pick out the slip of paper, take it to the man behind the cage, and wait the agonizingly long 2-3 minutes for him to go find it was torture, but it was worth it. As such, even it it's pure nostalgia, this game will always hold a special place in my heart and I may be the only person in the world who puts it in their Top 5 Zelda games.

This is, and almost assuredly always will be, not just my favorite Zelda game but my favorite video game of all time. And this article does a great job of detailing a lot of the reasons why. It was amazing and groundbreaking back then, and it is just as amazing to this day if you are willing to put the work into figuring it out.

My son is in third grade and he comes home all the time with work he has done in class that uses Minecraft or Among Us in the work. So clearly some teachers are doing this, and I think it is great. If only they would use actually good games.

I played this on PC and and thought it would be great for the Switch. It is an awesome puzzle-platformer that truly feels like a Nintendo game (except it gets a little dark story-wise and unexpectedly bloody for just a minute a few times). I would recommend giving it a try and not discounting it. It's a lot of fun.

But can we be defaulted for hitting a line judge? If not, then it's not realistic enough for me.

I don't pay the $60, so I definitely won't pay $70. The only game I've paid full price for is BOTW. I always wait for sales, so I guess they can raise the price all they want and it won't affect me unless the sale prices are raised, too.

@Magician That's what I'm waiting for, too, but unfortunately things seem to be different on Switch. How many years has it been out now, and I'm still waiting for Skyrim to be $20 like it has been on every other system for what seems like a decade. Or even any kind of sale for the physical version.

I already own all the ones I would want on Wii U and pretty much never double dip on things. That said, Human Revolution was my favorite game on the Wii U and would absolutely love some kind of Deus Ex Collection as mentioned in the article as it is the only game in the series I have played.

@Eel Crazy 8s is pretty much just Uno, which is pretty much just Last Card that is on here, so that would probably have been redundant (although maybe not any more redundant than having Shogi and Mini Shogi).

As much as I love Picross, and I can never bring myself to buy any of these games because there are just so many of them that are easy to play for free.

Does anyone know if the points stack over the multiple fishing tourneys? Like do you have to get 300 points in this one tourney to get all the prizes, or can you just get some this tourney and more the next tourney like you have been able to in past games? Because there is no way I am going to spend the time getting 300 points today. I have better things to do with my life.

I fortunately won this in Thunderful's giveaway but I haven't tried it yet. I've never gotten into tabletop RPGs before, but this sounds interesting and I'm willing to give it a shot.

Similar to batch item crafting, but if I have the materials to make a flimsy rod and also an iron nugget, then just let me make a regular fishing rod without having to make the flimsy one first.

It helps to pay attention to the sales, even if you aren't buying yet. There are games that I really want to get on great sales, but I know that they are on sale a lot and so I don't have to get it yet. I really want to try Final Fantasy VII and the 50% off sale right now is really tempting, but I know Square Enix does these sales at least 3-4 times a year and so it will be around again, maybe for even less.

Voted for NA because it actually shows game stuff. Unless Robotnik actually does the Riverdance in the game when you get all the Chaos Emeralds (which I've never done), I'm not sure why he is doing it on the European cover.

Pretty sure those paths are inside the museum, not leading up to it. You can see the fish in the river rather than just shadows. But that also means that bugs and fish are in the same room, and some fish are swimming around in rivers in the museum rather than tanks. That's awesome if I am interpreting those pictures correctly!

Yeah, I think this is only a good deal in a very specific context: if there are 2 games that you absolutely want right away and know you will play for years off and on so they are good to have digital. I ordered one set because Mario Maker 2 (my son REALLY wanted it) and Animal Crossing both fit this description.

Haven't played Death Mark yet. How does it compare to the 999 series? Is it something that if I like 999 (which I do) I will like it, or are they just completely different?

Played about an hour of the demo and got bored to tears. There was nothing to do except push A to advance the dialog. I'm all for VNs if there is actually something to do (I love the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape series), but this was horrible. The review makes it sound like only the prologue is like that, but the damage is done for me. Should have made a better demo.

Does it include the Luigi U stuff? Because I never got around to playing that.

I had never played an Oddworld game until the one on Wii U. I really liked that game, but is this one just a FPS? In that case, I'll probably pass on it.

I really like BoUT2 on Wii U, except for the glitch that keeps it from saving so you have to devote like 8 straight hours to it until it can save again so I never beat it. If this loses that glitch, I may finally have a game that I buy a second time so I can finally beat it.

My favorite was always Myst: The Book of Atrus. You don't see many legitimate novels that you can read as a normal book and it makes sense apart from the game it is based on, and getting to read this adventure and see into the lives of these characters that are so mysterious in the game was amazing.

Sometimes I wonder if even the people running this site had a Wii U. They released Midnight and Midnight 2 on there long before 36 Fragments, and I came here to see if there is anything new in this game or if it is just the same levels. But this review doesn't even seem to know those first two games exist.

I downloaded this on my phone and played as much as I could for free. The gameplay is simple, but the story really brings you in. It definitely made me want to buy it on Switch so I can finish it and see what happens. You will get it for the story, not the gameplay, though.

I'll probably be playing Earthbound Beginnings because I can play it off-TV while also watching my Dodgers get sweet revenge on the Cubs.

This game reminds me a lot of Scram Kitty on Wii U. I thought that was pretty fun, so I might look into this.

I'm pretty sure I still have all of these VHS tapes. There was one for Star Fox 64 and one for the N64 in general I believe.

@Azooooz Your prices add up to $370-375. The bundle costs $380. This bundle costs $5-10 more than buying each item individually, and you don't get the physical game. This is the worst bundle ever, and that's saying something given all of the ones Gamestop offers.

I was so excited when I saw the headline because I have been waiting for a bundle to get a Switch, and I was sad when Europe got one and we didn't when Splatoon 2 launched. Then I read the article. I guess I am going to wait some more. Hopefully Mario Odyseey will have one that is actually a deal.

I loved this mode in Sonic 2. My friends and I would play it all the time. And I absolutely do not remember any slow down at all in performance. I guess that shows how little we cared about those things back then (of course, I still don't really care).

I just wish everything I wanted on there would stop needing gold coins. I know it makes sense because you can only get gold coins by actually spending money and I have gotten all of my platinum coins without spending a dime, but it's still a little annoying because I am going to run out of gold coins soon but have over 10,000 platinum just sitting there.
