I always thought the “S” stood for “Switch” - that title will be weird on other systems.

I enjoyed this one as well.

It was an interesting game, not terrible, but after playing for a week or so I never felt the need or want to return to it. It's a shame that support for the game goes away after a year and no one can play anymore.

Is there anything in the full game that's not included in the demo (besides being able to play as much as you want)? I'll probably just stick with the demo.

I remember demoing one of these in a store. After about five minutes or so, I was done. It just wasn't for me.

I was Team Chicken last time, so I may defect to Egg this time around. Just happy to be participating in a Splatfest.

Guitar Hero 3 was littered with ads, including 7 gum.

8/8. I got lucky on the last one - I figured, he's the boss of SMB3 World 1, so he's probably the youngest.

Also, I didn't know the history on the names of these characters. Thanks, NL! (That would've made for a very devious quiz.)

Pretty cool effects. If the actual game is good, I'll probably get it once it goes on sale. I can wait on the vegetation bending for now.

I’ll eventually get back around to finishing it. Fantastic game.

Sounds like one of those things that you'll never actually see in stores because people will buy all of the stock and resell them on eBay for exorbitant prices. But, the set looks awesome. If money was no object, I'd definitely get one of these.

Watch for the article where someone has built a working Lego NES.

Just finished my first battle with them. They're surprisingly easy to defeat (I mean, I beat them, so they must be easy to beat). Pretty fun addition to the game.

If this happens, and if it comes to Switch, and if it has at least one of the original PS Tomb Raiders in the collection, then I'm all over it. These were some of those PS games that I started, played for a while, wanted to play more but was more interested in Ocarina of Time, and never went back to.

Rumor seems kind of hokey though. The image reeks of "dude in his basement playing with Microsoft Paint," and Google Stadia? Really?

Random focus for the Spirit board, but it's great. I love Octopath Traveler, and one day I'll actually finish it.

@PlayedNSlayed I wouldn't bother with starting over. The game is really good about providing summaries for stories you've already experienced. I'd say power it up, catch up on some reading, and jump right back in.

Looks stupidly fun, like Goat Simulator.

Nothing for me this week. That's okay - I have more games than I'll ever have time for right now.

I'd be totally down for another Splatfest.

It's greased lightning!

My first 15/15. Marth and Dark Samus were challenging, and I almost chose Toon Link instead of Young Link. Thanks for finally giving us an easy one.

It'd be nice if you could download this from the eShop web site (like the others in the past).

Edit (6/30): And there it is! Never mind.

I was going to skip this as I never played the original, but a Doom-esque shooter that scores a 9 for $5 - I'd be silly not to get this and give it a run-through.

Star Wars E1 Racer to add to my collection of N64 games on my Switch, and I've downloaded the Pokemon Starbucks game. It's not bad.

Very happy to see this coming to Switch. I guess Ys VIII performed well enough sales-wise to give this the green light.

I'll be getting this for sure. Hope it doesn't play like poo-doo.

JRC already, and Ninjala next week. I look really cheap in this poll. Is it free? Yes, I'm getting it.

I'm guessing all video game stocks are looking pretty good these days. Pretty much every video game system is selling like hotcakes. I haven't seen a video game system in stock at the store in weeks.

We still have one at the office. We actually had a Wii bowling tournament there a few months ago.

Interesting track list. I'd love to try this out if I have an opportunity to - but I don't think I'll run out and buy it right away.

Took a break from Octopath Traveler to reacquaint myself with the Wii version of Goldeneye 007. Very fun game (though aiming by pointing a Wii remote at the sensor bar helps me to appreciate gyro aiming even more).

What is this year's tentpole Christmas game?

I'll probably get one or three of the games on sale right now, but nothing here.

I remember waiting and hoping this game would come to Wii, and going to Gamespot on the day it finally released to get my copy. We were so starved for a quality RPG to hit the Wii that this seemed like a dream game. It was definitely worth the wait and the work it took to get it released on the system.

Kind of like the NES list - some really good games, and some outright junk. Super Mario World and Zelda are my two 10s. If we had the two Final Fantasys and at least the first Donkey Kong Country, there would be a few more 10s.

Reminds me of the ridiculously small cell phone in Zoolander. I know they say Japanese hands are smaller, but damn. Is it April 1?

More Octopath Traveler. Also, I took advantage of the discount on Horizon Chase Turbo, and I’m enjoying it. I’ll probably run a race or two in that this weekend too.

Downloading all three now. Thank you, NL!

@MrGawain Your Ubisoft 2 couldn't be Just Dance - there's no mention of the Wii in that system list.

Onsen Master? Master of...sitting in a hot spring!?

Happy to hear this fantastic game has been faithfully updated to modern standards. I'll be getting this at some point, though I don't know if I'll put another 80 hours or so into it again.

Having another Splatfest, even if it’s a redo, is a welcome surprise. I’m now a Ketchup Champion. I may also mess around with Pikmin 3 and Octopath Traveler this weekend.

@vio It looks like Armed 7 DX and Satavius Next were originally on Dreamcast, while Wolflame launched on Steam in 2016.

If they extend this deal to NA, I'll jump on it in a heartbeat (and delete NBA 2K19).

I picked the NA one because of the Gamepro rating.

Haven't the Metroid fans had enough teasing, Nintendo? They still haven't forgiven you for Federation Force or Blast Ball.

Very excited for Rygar. One of my favorites from the NES that never made it to Wii or Wii U VC.

Great to see Nintendo taking this route instead of porting Color Splash. Looking good.

I printed all of these, but they only cover part of my wall. I guess I need to print several copies of each to make it a true wallpaper.

Continuing my quest in Octopath Traveler, and maybe playing a round or two of Fortnite with the kid.

Expecting nothing. Then if something for Switch is announced, it's a pleasant surprise. I'd get Madden, probably at launch.

At first I thought I'd say maybe, but the more I think about it, my answer would be no. For one, I already subscribe to NSO, so I already have unlimited, mobile access to these games. Also, playing these games without a controller would not make them very fun to me. All of these were designed around having a control pad of some sort to play them. The reason Pokemon Go and Fire Emblem Heroes work on mobile is they were designed as touch-screen games from the ground up. So, I won't spend more money to play games I already have on a format they weren't meant to be on when they were created.
