I rented the original Luigi's Mansion once, but haven't played any of them. Same with Pikmin. I own Superstar Saga, but have barely touched it, and not played any of the other Mario and Luigi games.

I love Saturn controllers, I love pink, I love good causes. Bought myself two, one a proper Saturn controller and one a USB controller.

I own all of these but Dig 1 on the Switch already, but I might snag Dig 1 at this cost just to have the full set. They really are magnificent games--been meaning to play through Quest again.

Aladdin's my favorite game for the Genesis, so this is a definite maybe.

I really hope this leads to ports of both KOTOR and KOTOR 2!

First thought: looks like Goomy.

Between still needing to finish Three Houses, and both Link's Awakening and Dragon Quest XI coming out in the next couple weeks, there's no way I have to get this yet, but as someone who loved the Zero Escape games when I played through them on the Vita a couple years ago, I can't wait to play this when I have more time!

I definitely have a few 200+ hour Switch games (Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem 3H, probably BotW, I'd need to check), and Xenoblade 2 and Torna combined have clocked up I think close to 400. I honestly can't imagine spending that much time on a single title.

Went ahead and got the DLC tonight. I've already put in something like 250+ hours (and I still have a route and a half to play through)--there's really no way I'm not going to be excited for the additional content when it comes out.

Looking forward to trying Maddening for my final route.

I was obsessed with the GameCube Animal Crossing--there was pretty much a year of my life where I played nothing else--but I never got back into the series. Hoping this'll be a good place to hop back in.

Honestly, I am amazed Dynamite Cop made this list. It's one of my favorite Dreamcast games, but it's just so weird I wouldn't expect it to make a list like this.

Could use more shmups. We've already gotten several of the Dreamcast's best--Ikaruga, Gunbird 2, Zero Gunner 2 (despite the issues in the Switch version), etc--but I'd love to see Giga Wing, Giga Wing 2, and Mars Matrix get re-released. Though I have no idea who even owns the rights to Takumi's catalogue these days. Border Down would also be incredible to see a re-release.

Looks super-inspired by Cave shmups, especially the DoDonPachi series. Definitely gonna give this a look!

No questions asked, I will purchase Skies of Arcadia for whatever platform Sega re-releases it on, if they ever do. I would obviously prefer it for Switch, but I will buy a new system to play Skies of Arcadia. It is my all-time favorite game, and I desperately want to see it get the HD treatment.

I'm just so happy! This was the number one announcement of the Direct for me. I'm also extremely excited about Xenoblade Chronicles, but re-releasing TMS on a system with a proper user-base is just so exciting. It's one of my favorite JRPGs that I've played in the last few years, and I can't wait for more people to play it and to get to experience it again.

Terry and Mai feel like the obvious, identifiable KoF representatives. Haohmaru would be the best pick from Samurai Shodown I'd say. Personally, I'd root for Marco from Metal Slug.

Skies of Arcadia Legends and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door would be my picks for my absolute favorite GameCube games. Like, there's a lot of GC games I love, but if those were the only two games I could ever play again, I'd be pretty happy.

Why mix 8-bit Mario and 16-bit Sonic? I feel like I'd rather see 16-bit Mario sprites used here instead. Or Sonic sprites done up like NES sprites.

If this is the Genesis Aladdin (which is legitimately my favorite platforming game of all time), I will absolutely be buying this.

It's Sol Divide, not Soil.

I already own a few of these for the Switch--Strikers 1945, Zero Gunner 2, and Tengoku--and own every one of these that had a console release on Saturn or Dreamcast. Still gonna definitely buy these collections--might even spring for the Special Editions, I love Psikyo games.

I know we've got Esp Ra De on the way, but I would love to see similar collections for Cave's catalogue. Insta-buy for me.

I've been waiting so so long for this to come out, and of course it comes out when I'm going to be lost in Three Houses for the next month at least.

@SwitchVogel One I remember off the top of my head is not to give Lorenz the "coffee grounds" item. That boy loves tea!

Correction: there are some gifts that characters do not like. You will get no support points or motivation boost, but the character will still take the gift.

I have this for Steam, but for some reason it stopped working for Macs a while back. It's a great game, definitely will pick it up again.

GAME TENGOKU!! One of my favorite Saturn shmups!

I already used my first voucher on Fire Emblem Three Houses. I've bought a second pair now, so I have three that I guess I'll use on Link's Awakening, Dragon Quest XI, and probably either Sword or Shield (once I decide which one I'll buy).

I'm going with Black Eagles on my first playthrough. I'd like to see the storylines for how the other two houses play out, but I dunno how different those'll actually be, so if I end up playing through just one time, I feel like the Black Eagles have the highest concentration of the character designs I like most.

I started playing Let's Go Pikachu again a week or so again--still have a couple things left to do for this monotype poison run, but I'm probably nearly done (wanna beat the upgraded Elite Four, and maybe do the Master Trainers for my main Pokemon).

I've gotten into the habit of running monotype teams, so I'm waiting to find out what the starters' secondary typings are before I make any decision. I'm leaning toward Shield for now, but once I decide my monotype I might see there's a Sword exclusive I'll want.

I have Cyber Sleuth 1 on the Vita, played through a bunch of it till I got sidetracked by other stuff. Probably will pick these up so I can have both.

I haven't gotten Pirate Warriors 3 yet, and I don't know much about One Piece, but I completely devoured Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors. I'll definitely keep an eye on this!

@shoeses Eh, I didn't really mind the clones, to be honest, at least for the ones where it was just two characters--there needed to be more archer and pegasus playstyles. FEW is my second favorite game for the Switch, so I would absolutely welcome an excuse to play it some more.

Misread this as Fire Emblem Warriors and got excited.

I NEED GRANDIA NEWS, GUNG-HO!!

Weird there's no mention of Super Puzzle Fighter in this review, given that this game is heavily based on it.

Wow! Super interesting--I wonder if we'll see any of the later games.

And if companies wanna port 68000 games to Switch, may I suggest Cho Ren Sha?

Interesting! Might cancel my Amazon pre-orders of Astral Chain and Fire Emblem: Three Houses and buy those this way instead.

Played through like 7 hours of SteamWorld Quest. Probably finish the story tonight--it's a fantastic game, I'm kinda sad how short I&F games are, I'd love a massive JRPG with this setting and cast and mechanics.

Maybe we'll see Adam playable again, after all this time? He was my character of choice back when my friend Ben and I would play the original Streets of Rage for hours on end--always sad he was never playable in 2 or 3.

I would absolutely be interested--was actually Googling about this just last night. I don't think I'm going back to WoW ever again, but I do get the MMO itch, and I've heard nothing but great things about FF XIV, but don't have a PS4 or a computer that could run it well.

I'm probably going with Sobble, but I wanna know their final typings before I make any decisions. The last few games, I've been doing mono-type runs. Sun was Water, Ultra Moon was Ghost, and Let's Go Pikachu was Poison, and I still need to play through White 2, where I'll probably do Fighting. I won't necessary use a starter (Let's Go is obviously without Pikachu), but there's a good chance I'll pick the starter with a secondary type I haven't use that there are enough wild Pokemon to build a team with.

I won't pre-order till I know what the version exclusives are like. I'm leaning toward Shield (I tend to use the Red-aligned titles' exclusives more, plus I love shields!), but it's too soon for that.

Already have X | X-2 HD for my Vita, but I've never played XII before, so I'm really looking forward to that.

As someone who put in about 450 hours between Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors, I would definitely be interested in Dragon Quest Heroes getting localized. DQ is one of my favorite series, and with Builders 2 and XI coming this year, makes sense to finally bring Heroes 1+2 over, particularly as it's already been translated. Hoping this is A) true and B) they work on the framerate issues everyone says the Japanese release was plagued with.

As Thunder Force is possibly my favorite shmup series, I'll definitely be picking this up--though I will say, this looks significantly more bullet-hell-y than any of the TF games.

Finally! And I don't usually order special editions, but that plush is mighty tempting.

The Saturn fanatic in me would love to see them do one based on my all-time favorite controller, but 6-button Genesis is the next best thing. Curious if they'll do one with sticks like their higher end SNES controller--would make them more widely useful for games you want a good d-pad for but which still use sticks.

Already pre-ordered XII, which I've never had the chance to play. Already have X/X-2 (and VII, VIII, and IX) on my Vita, I probably won't bother double-dipping on those unless there's some significant additions.

I've got both New Super Mario U Deluxe and Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition arriving in a couple days, so I'll be giving this a pass on release, but I'll definitely keep an eye out when I need a new game.

Having spent a significant chunk of last year playing either Hyrule Warriors or Fire Emblem Warriors (over 400 hours between the two of them), I've been looking into giving a mainline Musou a shot. Would this be a good entry point?

Surprising choice, though it does manage to fit the theme of World of Light remarkably well. Really hoping this means we might see a Persona 5 port announcement--the Persona series, other than Persona Q, has been PlayStation exclusive so far, but Atlus was very active on the DS and 3DS, and we know that Shin Megami Tensei 5 is on the way for the Switch. Would love to see more Atlus support. More news on SMT5, Persona 5 port, Persona Q2 getting a US release (either 3DS or Switch, I'm not picky), maybe give us the Tokyo Mirage Sessions port that seems like such a no-brainer, perhaps other Persona or SMT ports.
