Already bought Blue Prince (loved my brief time with it via PS+), and glad to have it on my most played console; handheld makes great sense, too, for this title. Nothing else for me from the presentation, save for maybe a mega sale down the line on a few, such as Moonlighter 2 (still haven't finished the first).

@Uncle_Franklin

No, Pokemon Trozei? 😭

This looks great! I like the look, the environment, and I like the starters. Color me surprised.

Bought the replica, and understand why I bought the original, sold it, bought it again, and sold it. Even with more games to choose from now, it's still a dreadfully awkward system to try and enjoy. Sure, part of me is glad to have the replica, but without the controller even that aspect is made less impactful. I'd recommend to anyone curious, to just get the cardboard version.

Is "we thought it would be fun" the new "please understand?"

The lack of proper online with randos is, unfortunate.

It would be cool if it would display on a TV, as I have a 3D plasma I'm still holding on to, and would love the chance to use its 3D glasses again (if such would even be possible).

I was getting worried for a moment. I knew all of the Gen 1 & 2 Pokemon, and didn't know any from Gen 3, and thought I was losing it. Them saw this survey, and knew them all. Whew. Too many favorites here... Luxio, Torterra, Mr Mime... But, I voted Torterra given that was my evolved, unstoppable starter.

Eww. I downloaded Braid when it hit Switch way back when, but found it rather boring and stopped playing pretty soon into it. I thought maybe the updo might tempt me back, but after reading some of the comments here, which lead me to find out more about Blow (thanks Wikipedia)... Double Eww. I didn't know he was, well, the kind of person he is. So, definitely no more money from me, and next I fire up my Switch, I'll be deleting the game as a sign of protest. Bye Felecia.

Mine arrives Monday. I'm modestly excited!

Holy jeebus... This is awesome!!!

Castlevania...Belmont...Netflix anime tie-in artstyle and voicework!?!? Sign me up, sign me up!!

I haven't been this stoked for a classic series release in ages. I've watched the trailer thrice, at least, and it just keeps getting better. ❤️‍🔥

Unrelated to this post, but kinda related?, my Virtual Boy from Nintendo shipped today. 😃

Pokemon Yellow, please!!! My first Pokemon game, and the much better version of Red/Blue. 😜 After that, SoulSilver, please!!! These two, are my favorite Pokemon games and deserve a good ol' full screen, full color (in Yellow's case) remix. Maybe have another developer partner with Game Freak to, uh, help make them good.

@johnedwin

That really should be a listed con.

Cons

• A lack of content for solo players
• Adventure mode is disappointingly short and rather basic

Welp. This one's a no for me, then. Yay, money saved.

I'm envisioning lots of kids wanting to be Yoshi for Halloween this year. 😆

@UpsideDownRowlet

Right!? Like, why did they have to pick Pratt. 🤢

Indeed, I mean, when I watched it I was like, ooh, neat, games!! But then after reading more about each one, even putting aside the ports, I realized it just wasn't a my kind of Direct. Glad others found things to like, though. I guess there's never one that's one size fits all. 🙃

Looking at the graphic really shows just how lackluster a Direct it was. Ports, ports and more ports. Granted, I am looking forward to Indy, but other than that, just Bomberman... Which, sure, it was a nice surprise, isn't really a Switch 2 showstopper. 😮‍💨

Looks good. Reminds me of Another World meets Inside meets A Boy and His Blob (Wii). As long as it's not too floaty in feel, I'm in.

Shame it's Japan only. If there's no massive language barrier, and no hopes of a US release, I might download the Japan version.

What I really want, though, is N64's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

After the lackluster Switch Bomberman games, I've been hoping for a new entry to mix things up. And this is a nice mix of old and new, so I'll take it! Though, for me, nothing beats the Bomberman Touch! games on DS, but I guess those can't easily be ported.

When I first read "Orbitals" I got super excited confusing it in my head with Wii's "Orbient." 😮‍💨

This one's on my wishlist and ready to be bought in 20XX.

Capcom vs SNK 3? How about a new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom instead!

Come on Switch 2 exclusives!

From this huge massively blockbuster AAA lineup, only one has my interest. Yoshi, of course. But, if Good Feel is handling it, scratch my interest to simply, cautiously pessimistic.

Nice. Hades and Hades II had such amazing voice actors, so it's good to know other projects they're involved in. This game doesn't feature my favorite from Hades II, but that's probably a good thing... It would just turn me into a puddle again. 🤪

Reading "children and marriage" after coming from the r/epstein rabbithole scared and triggered me for a minute. 🤪

I still haven't committed to anyone, despite giving the bouquet to two people, and soon I will have more options!? Oof. But, bring on the DLC... especially if it's free.

I'm not usually a fan of these games, thanks to random battles/encounters, but I really enjoyed my time with the demo and am considering getting the full game at some point. I appreciate the reimagining which I guess means that I like dumbdowned JRPGs based on the reviewer's comments?

After being burned by the boringly basic Switch installment, I'm extremely hesitant even though it looks fun. Maybe when it goes on sale I'll consider it, as $70 is way too much for this kind of game for me.

I'm excited to try this again... But agree that not having the controller as an optional accessory is a bummer.

@Theghostofkeithmoon

"C" for "Cash." Ha. I love it. I mean, I hate it. I mean... 😮‍💨

Funny how they're doing so much better than the bleak GCN/Wii U days, but are nickel and dimming like never before. Corporate gonna corporate, I guess. I miss the free internet server access of old.

@Theghostofkeithmoon

I didn't even think about that angle. That's pretty sneakily greedy. Paid DLC to encourage additional paid services. Oof.

Good. I mean, bad that it'll be a reflection on Metroid and probably mean a severe delay for the next entry, but good to reflect what an unfun unMetroid-like game experience Beyond is. I gave up on it after giving it several additional chances, after my initial breakup, and then just deleted the sapsucker and haven't looked back. The funny thing is, it wasn't Myles or the other NPCs that bothered me like I thought would be the case, as muting the voices solved that problem. It was just the lack of exploration. The drab desolate desert. The locked door ramped up music mini boss battles every single $&#@ time you walk into a new area. It all felt like a chore.

Wonder was great fun, but the new DLC is lackluster at best. Granted, I'm not much on multiplayer gaming outside of randoms in Smash or other games, but beyond that, there's very little extra to do with Wonder's DLC. Similar to Bananza. I want more levels, worlds, etc. Not meetups and timetrials.

Can't answer the survey. Never bought it as it was seemingly marketed and geared toward a much younger audience, but don't think they should shelve the idea. I think it's neat, just not for me in its current state. And for the target audience, needs to do more and be more.

@LoroTalby

I recommend DuckDuckGo as a browser, set up Privacy Protection, and then Fireproof this site once you log in. Never asks me for cookies, no ads, no popups, no trackers, etc.

@MrGawain

90% shovelware is exactly what makes up the eSlop, er, eShop, and it's certainly not a good thing.

Potentially GRID for me. Haven't played a game from the series since the DS; curious if it's just as fun as remember.

Perfect Pencil, potentially as well... If the reviews are good.

@PushMyGran86

We just need some Switch 2 support, period. Innovative. Unique. Exclusive. No font 100 "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" nonsense. We need the real deal.

I'll take a Partner Direct if it means Switch 2 exclusive games. Cause, like, hello!?!?

It would be neat if buying the game unlocked some sort of more robust, fun Mii app on the console. The current one is so lame and boring. Nothing like the Wii one.

Great news! I really liked this series on Sega systems way back when. Glad to get the chance to play Virtua Fighter once again... not counting the Mii costume in Smash, of course. 🤪

Now we just need the team to make a new Virtua On game next. Oh please oh please!

Also, I love how passionate the anti-game key card folks are. If I wasn't 100% digital due to laziness and convenience, I would be right there with you!

This is one of those games I really want to like, and should, but don't. And I have no idea why. If there's a demo, I'll definitely give it a shot again, otherwise, I'll be cheering for the fans and happy players from the sidelines.

@OmnitronVariant

10000000000000% agree. I miss colorful, quirky Nintendo.

@NeonPizza

On my list is aquiring a way to play OG Sega carts. As a Nintendo fanboy, with a side glancing penchant for classic Sega, it's something I need to do. 🤪 Love the username, by the by.

It is funny that Nintendo wants to censor games that are clearly flagged 18+ or whatever, but the eShop is riddled with kinky shovelware for all ages/teens:

I'm pretty sure games like, Anime Feet Boys/Girls: The Charm Finder Quest, does far worse to their image and brand than a seemingly well-made, well-reviewed game that might flash a random cartoon appendage or two for the sake of story.

As someone who furiously smashes buttons to skip through cut scenes to get to the action, the "lack of gameplay won't be for everyone" con sounds like this game isn't for me. Glad that it exists, though! Appreciate the callout in the review.

@DennyCrane @Don

Here here! The Tiny Toons games were a blast. I used to love smooshing the characters into things whilst running. Can't remember the specific TT game, but it was good fun. Even the GameBoy games were great. Would love to see a collection of ALL of them. Darn copyrights and trademarks and all that stuff.

Looks interesting. However, it just has me longing for Konami to remake/rerelease Metal Warriors.
