I’ve been playing this a lot. Is it a great game, maybe not. But it’s definitely a good one-even on Switch. Again, 4 is much too low here

This is a pretty good list-not sure if God of War deserves first, but I can handle it. My biggest complaint would be Last of Us.

@somnambulance I fully agree! Also, as a busy adult with little time to sink in to games nowadays, this was perfect.

I’d love to play through Persona 5, but I can’t imagine trying to get through a game that’s over 100 hours. And if it becomes a favorite, when would I find time to play it again?

If I didn’t already open this elsewhere, I’d probably get it-which is more than I can say for most cloud versions of games.

I forgot how strong of a launch lineup the WiiU had. If only they could’ve kept up the momentum!

My top pick is ZombiU. Though NintendoLand deserves a mention as well. That is pretty much my only reason to return to the system anymore.

I remember reading about Pocket Monsters in Nintendo Power…it was just a tiny article about this rpg from Japan. I remember thinking, this game has to come out in the US-it will be huge! I got Pokémon Blue shortly after it’s release

Not bad, though my list would have at least a couple Link Between World dungeons.

That vote….is a lot closer than I expected.

But, anyways, yes, both!

Wow-that’s not bad. Since switch is less powerful than a ps4, comparing a game on it with a ps5 version is unbelievable. Great job, Sega!

I got tired of waiting for this…I imported my first game ever!

Now, how difficult is it to learn a new language? Babies/toddlers do it, right? Shouldn’t take me long!

Man, this was such a great game!

Yes, please! I’d take a new game and ports

A pretty good roster, but it is missing a few notable characters.

I love these collections. It’s nice not having to buy one retro game for like $8. Give me a bunch of them! Remember the Midway Treasures collections during the GameCube era?

I have gamepass right now, so will be checking it out. If I enjoy it, will be adding it to my Switch collection.

I’m excited to see/hear more on this. I’ve enjoyed the other 3d Sonic games ( except ‘06-haven’t played it) but I wouldn’t call any of them great.

@Impoh Thanks for the recommendation. Gonna add this to my wishlist!

@dimi There are much worse licensed games, imho. ET isn’t that bad…there are a couple poor design choices (the constant falling into pits), but you gotta remember when this came out. The game is actually quite deep (as deep as those pits!) for a 2600 game! Also, if you read the manual, the game made more sense.

Short story: ET gets too much hate.

I don’t have a problem with them winning these awards. I too looked BDSP more than Arceus, not to detract from that game.

I’m also hoping for a Gen 5 remake, as it’s my favorite Gen:)

gets popcorn Time to hear people complain.

What’s up with SquareEnix lately? I love their Switch output, but their game names are hilarious. Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, Various Daylife 😛

Pretty good, I must say! Zelda will be cool, though The mastered ports would’ve been a real treat. Some nice surprises, like Tales and TheTheatrhythm.

A Mario sequel would’ve blown this out of the sky, but going on 6 years into the Switch’s life, I’d expect that is being made for Switch2.

Excellent output from Square though, I must say! I haven’t liked Square so much since the’90s!

Still have it on GameCube! Will be glad to play through this again.

Yes! The 3DS games were my most played games! Can’t wait!

This was great fun! Probably my favorite game of the year so far! I grew up playing the SNES RPGs, and this fit right in! Shame we didn’t get it back then, but better late than never!

I’ve tried these all since Morrowind. Skyrim I think I’ve started 3 times. I just can’t get into it. I want to like it…but I guess I’m just more into JRPGs.

I liked the list better when I read it best to worst…though when you realized the title is wrong, i didn’t like it as much.

My top region is Unova, btw.

Like others said, this isn’ta bad list. I would also make changes for my own, notably increasing snes and gba entries, while lowering n64 and Wii. And then probably swap ds and 3ds.

I bought this awhile ago and didn’t play it much. A few nights ago I started seriously playing it, and it’s very enjoyable! I’m hoping to beat it while the sequel is still on sale.

I loved Gen 1, but skipped 2. I couldn’t get into 3 when I tried. I thought my Pokémon days were over. Eventually, I bought Pokemon White on a whim. I loved it! It’s reignited my love for the games which lasts to this day!

While I agree it does have the best story of all the gens, I think the thing that helped me get into it, was that it was a totally brand new set of Pokémon. It was amazing. Then you beat the game, and bam, a ton of older Pokémon were available!

Nice! Played this a ton back in the day. Capture the Flag at approximately 2 seconds per frame!

Another series dying for a comeback!

These are all pretty close. I think Europe has the best though.

This is easily my Game of the Year so far! Every bit of it has been a great time! I wish we could see more games like this today, but really, I am so glad to get this localized after so many years!

SE has really been iffy with me for the past decade (or two), but some games like this really show their talent.

I haven’t played a ton of these, but the ones I have are great. I really enjoyed A Dark Room and was glad to see it listed here!

Great job!

Declining sale, huh? It’s almost as if gamers ARE expecting their games to be fun. 🤔

I have a complete set of the N64 NA library-so between Sculptors Cut, and cib Bomberman 64 Second Attack, those are might most prized.

At one point I did about 50/50. Had a wall of amiibo. I eventually opened them all…except for Gold Mario.

Man, I remember hearing this being released on the Wii in Japan and hoping it would be localized. A decade later, and I’m still hoping!

@Gallivant I didn’t know about that stuff. I just remember seeing screen shots when I was younger and thinking it looked amazing! It was also at a time when I hadn’t had a miss with a Squaresoft title…those were the days!
I guess at some point I could’ve played a rom, but I haven’t.

I’m really excited for this! Maybe next up we will get Bahamut Lagoon??

I’ve really enjoyed this game and don’t really understand the complaints in pricing. However, I wish Sonic CD was replaced by 4. Or Mania. But as a fan of 4, I wish that got more attention.

I guess the point was CD underwhelmed. Cool premise, but how it was executed took away from the gameplay. Probably won’t return to it after a single play through.

Played it with the family on gamepass. Great game we all enjoy!

Personally I hate when controllers get too clicky sounding. It’s one of my gripes about the Xbox controllers. But, if that’s your thing, I guess you’ve got an option now!

@dinosaurfan38 There are other games on the NA service that are Japan only with no translation. They actually have released some Japan-only games since the Wii virtual console. I mean, I don’t really think it’s likely to get them, but I don’t think that would be a reason why.

Actually, it’s less concerning for me-if they say it won’t be as powerful as the ps4 version, I would guess that means it’s not a cloud version. Cloud versions are a pass for me, as much as I’d like to play a game.

Alright! Time to double check I have everything downloaded!

Moving the battle system to menu based shows they are at least on the right track. This has the opportunity to be one of the best Final Fantasy games since the ‘90s, for me at least.

I’m excited to play this-though the well-being of the staff and state of the final product are more important.

This is awesome! Some great classics out there, and you almost never get any love for Jaguar or Lynx. This is great news!
