RIP Sears Canada. Many of their old big department store spaces out here still haven't been replaced even now.

... Wun can only hope.

Pilotwings is a great series I wish Nintendo would continue and expand upon.

Can't wait to check this out after finally opting for the Expansion Pack tier of NSO. Nintie really should release more games for each platform and more frequent drops though.

... Wun can only hope.

Can’t wait for one of these significant Ubi sales for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope in the coming months!

… Wun can only hope.

Sega is still a very good developer when they want to be. I truly enjoy a lot of their games not named Sonic.

… Wun can only hope.

This game should’ve been Wii Sports x Wii Sports Resort x New Switch Sports all combined and expanded upon imo.

… Wun can only hope.

I’m honestly just super pleased Persona’s 3-5 are finally making their way to the Switch and soon.

Also Persona is awesome, but I’d love if Atlus made a new Trauma Center and Catherine games for the console too.

… Wun can only hope.

Licensed music can be cool, but anything licensed is usually just for the moment or a certain time period contractually (which expires after some time)- this often makes this part of re-releases, remasters or remakes troublesome legally down the line (i.e. GTA Remasters, Sonic Origins etc.).

That being said I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Gaming is huge while still growing and the music industry crossovers or contracted work is only becoming more of a staple (i.e. Fortnite in-game concerts, Streaming, GTA, Sports Games Soundtracks, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge- Wu-Tang Final Boss theme, Pokémon Promo- Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Katy Perry all making Poké songs etc.). Basically there’s business & marketing to be done and benefited from on both sides in a lot of instances so it will continue.

Honestly though, I’m more than fine with predominantly new and/or original works in games or anything that is owned by the publisher or developer indefinitely to prevent these potential hurdles and preserve games as they were as much as possible for future re-use.

… Wun can only hope.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos got some coverage, but I'd like to mention I really enjoyed that game as a Zelda-like rogue-lite.

There's a bunch of titles I've come across in the Eshop that are intriguing, based on box art & limited screenshots (reminds me of back in the days before the internet when box art made or broke a potential game sale sometimes- due to more limited or hard to get information then).

I'm interested in learning more about Skycadia for one. Looks like a SNES Star Fox type-like.

... Wun can only hope.

Great news. Yet another title finally off the list of Switch port wishfuls.

Admittedly it’s a reach, but I’m still hoping for more info and/or announcements on or of the following coming to Switch in a another Partner Direct:

• Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters Bundle
• Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis
• Echoes of Mana
• Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent
• Rogue Legacy 2
• Sable
• Rollerdrome
• Bomb Rush CyberFunk
• Mina the Hollower
• WrestleQuest
• Oddventure
• Stray
• Season: A letter to the future
• Restless Soul
• Unsighted
• Alterium Shift

.. Granted some of these may or may not be considered “Indies” per se, but they’re mostly partner digital offerings.

… Wun can only hope!

I really like when you guys highlight some hidden gems as the Switch Eshop is overloaded and horrible/tedious to browse and sift through the swath of titles on there.

Of these the selections that intrigued we were:

• Anodyne 2: Return To Dust
• Super Sami Roll
• Goblin Sword
  Honourable Mention: Petal Crash (Not the game, but that trailer music was my type of trancey funky Sonic R vibe)

I'll probably wishlist these and perhaps pickup on sale sometime to add to the never fully addressed backlog.

... Wun can only hope.

... Wun can only hope.

I think we can rest assured the Super Switch will also be a hybrid console. As for his comments, I primarily by a longshot play docked on a TV, whether in bed or on a couch. So I have no problem sitting or lying down playing Switch.

Honestly, I hope the next Switch really is just an upgraded dock that enhances the capabilities of the console unit- similar to an Expansion Pak ironically. I'm happy with the Switch and wouldn't mind extending it's shelf life many more years. I don't really care to get a whole new console at this current time or near future.

... Wun can only hope.

I love Pilotwings! Hope a new game in the series is in the works for Switch!

Also that sultry sensual trailer is amazing and so left-field I love it! Please do more like this Nintendo!

... Wun can only hope.

We better get Waluigi, Wario, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo and the Koopa Kids in the sequel!

... Wun can only hope.

I wonder if Kamek will use the signature magikoopa "PlayStation Magic".

... Wun can only hope.

Altus needs to announce a new Trauma Center & Catherine.

… Wun can only hope.

Never Forget the Nintendo Farm Direct.

... Wun can only hope.

Persona 5's soundtrack is so goated that it's one of the few actually in full rotation in my Apple Music library.

However, I'd like to hear more of those type of funky jazzy vibes in a new Mario, Sonic Adventure, Street Fighter, MvC, Mega Man X Command Mission, Jet Grind Radio, Robotech: Battlecry, Trauma Centre and/or Catherine games though over Zelda.

... Wun can only hope.

While of course I'd like a new F-Zero like so many others, it'd also be cool to get other racers like a new:

• Extreme-G
• Stunt Race FX
• Road Rash
• F1 Race
• Star Wars: Pod Racer
• Excite Bike/Trucks/Bots
• Kirby Air Ride
• Diddy Kong Racing

... Wun can only hope.

Finally played both Portals with the Switch release and I gotta say Portal 1 is amazing. It’s a much more clear, concise & focused experience imo. Portal 2 is good, but not as great as the original due to the somewhat cumbersome non-chamber exploration parts for me- however it does a great job of expanding the narrative. I’d absolutely love a 3rd entry in this series.

As for my personal backlog- once I finish Tales of Vesperia DE it’s on to Xenoblade Chronicles DE finally… with a side of GRIS.

… Wun can only hope.

The Legend of Bros.: Tears of the Mushroom Kingdom

... Wun can only hope.

Also, the Music Box item from Super Mario 3 in the "Antiques" store mayhaps gives hints to a timeline?

Or it could just signify that many of us are now ancient in Nintendo's eyes. So much subtle shade.

... Wun can only hope.

Hope it's Super, Nintendo.

... Wun can only hope.

Finally! Long overdue. Hoping this satiates my post Slay the Spire appetite.

… Wun can only hope.

Looks more Starfy than Paper Mario, but that's ok.

... Wun can only hope.

Chicory is still in my backlog. Feels like a game I'll get to while traveling sometime as I think it might be better suited in handheld mode- perhaps painting using the touchscreen rather than docked with a pro controller as I primarily play.

A good "Paper Mario-like" (in gameplay, not art style) would be a new Super Mario RPG, Mario & Luigi or Super Princess Peach though tbh.

Edit: I'd also add Restless Soul to this list in terms of that 'Paper' look

... Wun can only hope.

Hmm it's tough to differentiate whether to name games I've seemingly enjoyed more than most, or games that are objectively considered 'bad', but I still enjoyed above how they were generally received. In both cases wouldn't they just be considered subjectively "underrated"?

Meh, without overthinking it further I'd say...

• Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
• Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu (DBZ Legends)
• Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
• Battletoads
• Wu Tang: Shaolin Style
  .. lots of good memories with these games and hopefully more to come.

... Wun can only hope.

Between Super Kiwi 64 and Frogun, I'm really loving the resurgence of the nostalgic N64-PS1 blocky art style & aesthetic (or "Rareware" as some have colloquially aforementioned... is this becoming a new genre? Certainly hope so.)! I’m intrigued so I’ll keep an eye on this one for a sale to potentially check it out.

I'll only add that I wish these games had a little more appealing/captivating character designs.. that would help raise my interest a lot more.

Tbh though, the homage to this 3D chunky polygonal era just makes me want a new:

• Mega Man 64/Legends
• Brave Fencer Musashi
• Threads of Fate
• Street Fighter EX
  .. games on Switch though.

... Wun can only hope.

DokeV seems like it could be the next evolution of a Pokémon game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaRbQHlegaM

Also it's high time for a new Pikachu Volleyball.

... Wun can only hope.

I could be off, but to me it kinda reminds me of the little flies that buzz around Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3 not allowing him to jump as freely for a short while in some stages.

... Wun can only hope.

@sketchturner
Street Value: 1 Billion Lego Bricks of Cocaine.

Menial Mundane Missions up next!

... Wun can only hope.

Stabilized stability.

... Wun can only hope.

Long Live the King!!!

The Triple D Kang deserves his own game!

... Wun can only hope.

I'm super pleased this made it's way to Switch as I was hoping. Seems like a nice fit. Unfortunate to hear about the visual downgrade & performance hiccups, but I don't think it will deter me getting it (also perhaps there are patches coming). Definite a pickup once on sale for me.

I still have much in by backlog to pace through and I don't feel super inclined to rush to get this game as I played Death's Door not too long ago and get similar vibes from this. A little more time away will make Tunic more alluring & enjoyable for me I feel.

Hopefully more 'originally released on Xbox' titles continue to make their way to Switch (I'm looking at you Sable!).

... Wun can only hope.

@williamchyr
Thank you for this labour of love. I got this game randomly on sale after being intrigued after seeing a preview and can say it's a solid 9/10 for me. I don't even usually purchase puzzle/physics games like this, but the artistic design, colour, vibrancy, tone and aesthetics were just too alluring to pass up. This game was overall an amazing & beautiful experience.

I know it took quite some time and effort to bring Manifold Garden to fruition, but I'd absolutely love if you made another or similar artistic title for Switch! Thank you again!

... Wun can only hope.

Link's Crossbow Training should be an option at the very least... I mean, before you start a quest don't you have to prepare?

In all seriousness though, just pick one you fancy and go from there.

... Wun can only hope.

Had an eye on this one, thanks for the review. I have enough Zelda-likes already as it is imo so definitely no need to pickup a subpar one.

However, I do hope somehow another 3D Dot Game Heroes is made that comes to Switch.

… Wun can only hope.

Looks like a mobile cel-shaded low budget Sin & Punishment that definitely needs more time in the oven for polish… music was good though!

… Wun can only hope.

Ummm a hospital drama series… like a new Trauma Center perhaps?

… Wun can only hope.

There's no guarantee for when and how significant sales will happen, so even though I have enough in my backlog already to hold me for the rest of the year at the very least... I still used some Gold Coins and picked up some puzzle games on sale- Lumines Remastered & Gorogoa for cheap. Hopefully when the time comes, I'll have some extra funds/coins for potential significant Black Friday & Holiday sales splurging.

... Wun can only hope.

I really liked Star Fox Adventures. I’d like to see them try that type of spin-off with another IP… like an F-Zero Adventures that could expand the lore, characters & settings of that world and Captain Falcon.

… Wun can only hope.

I know I'm often in comments listing personal requests for new games in certain series... but another Wii Music is definitely NOT one of them. Choosing the various GameCube startup jingles are a better music game than that travesty.

However, if we’re talking Music Games, it's time to make a new:

• Rhythm Heaven
• Elite Beat Agents
• Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
• Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
• Samba De Amigo
  Honourable Mention: Mario Paint

… Wun can only hope.

Like everyone else so far, I too am down for a 64-bit era Shovel Knight 3D platformer/combat/collectathon game.

... Wun can only hope.

Definitely seems like a mobile game that's been ported and cleaned up for console play. I still have Everybody's Golf on PS4 and Golf Story on Switch though so I'm okay passing on golf entries for awhile.

I'd love to see Clap Hanz try making some other arcade takes on sports games though like Boxing, Dodgeball, Basketball, Tennis, Hockey or even Croquet.

... Wun can only hope.

The 'Super' part of Mario Bros. journey are the bros we made along the way.

... Wun can only hope.

Market wants another Super Mario RPG... now please want to make one Your Gaming Grace... it's been 26 years now.

... Wun can only hope.

Bowser showcasing his multi-linguistics... guess that means the Mario Bros. can't sneak any Italian Mafia code by him most likely.

... Wun can only hope.

Announce a new Trauma Centre & Catherine you cowards! Just kidding, much love Atlus... but please?

... Wun can only hope.

Not only are the Game Trials too brief being only a week, they are often weak offerings Nintendo smh. Compared to their direct competitors' monthly titles in quantity & quality, do better please Nintie.

... Wun can only hope.
