@Prizm Agreed. Bought it on Switch not realizing it was 30fps. Bought it later on sale for Xbox and deleted the Switch version. It's like a whole different game.
I own most of the games on this list and am ashamed to admit that I've played very few of them to date. It feels like for every dozen "instant indie classics" I buy, there's a AAA game that distracts me from playing more than a couple of them, and so the backlog grows. Good to know some of them are loved because quite a few of these were bought and then subsequently deleted from my Switch and forgotten about. Nice to have the reminder.
I put it squarely on Nintendo that this game was announced so early in its development. There wasn't a lot going on with Switch exclusives at the time so I think they dumped this and Metroid Prime 4 on us in the hope that we'd ignore the draught. I love the Bayonetta series so waiting isn't really that big of a deal for a specific game but the AAA releases for the Switch are noticeably thin if you don't count retreads like Mario 3D World (which I'm sure is great but I already played that game like 4 or 5 years ago).
I preordered it because I love the series but in hindsight, I have my doubts that I'll play it as I've never been a fan of the way NES-era games look. For whatever reason, I thought this was a Super Famicom title when I preordered.
Go ahead and troll me, I know my Nintendo history, I just avoided the NES era because everything always looked so bland and I was a SEGA person way back when.
Strongly disliked Hyrule Warriors, to the point where I almost didn't pick up Age of Calamity. I'm glad my gaming OCD took hold in this particular case; it's easily my favorite Warriors game ever.
Wow. So THAT's why Second Encounter seems so foreign to me! I was a huge fan of SS2 way back in the day and thought something was awry with my memory. Good to know.
I skipped this on Switch and opted to get the Xbox version because I expected it the Switch would have issues. To be fair, the 'remaster' bit is somewhat overstated in my opinion. The games really don't look very current gen to me and come off like early Xbox 360 titles more than updates. Still, I'll always love them. I really would like to see a Complete/Definitive Edition with all of the games though.

I would happily pass on every game on this list if we could have Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch.
