This one looks like it&#8217;s got an adventure mode of some sort though, so I may still give it a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve never played an Onimusha game, and while it looks really cool, it also looks like it&#8217;s got heavily parry\/counter-based gameplay, which never works well for me. Again, I don&#8217;t have great reflexes, so this <em>physically<\/em> doesn&#8217;t work for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II: Dark Arisen<\/strong> &#8211; I have this on PS5 and haven&#8217;t even had time to boot it up once yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stellar Blade<\/strong> &#8211; See above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orbitals<\/strong> &#8211; Looks visually incredible, but I don&#8217;t do multiplayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rayman Legends Retold<\/strong> &#8211; You know, I played the original on Wii U a bunch, and it&#8217;s a really fun game. Just a really good, solid 2D platformer. Not one I feel a need to purchase a remaster of, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Big Walk<\/strong> &#8211; Online co-op? Nope. But it does seem like I&#8217;d really dig the cozy hiking gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One Piece: Grand Gourmet<\/strong> &#8211; Diner Dash but licensed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/strong> update + expansion pass &#8211; A free update? Guess I&#8217;ll just keep playing this forever. And you know damn well that I&#8217;m going to be getting that expansion pass to just further extend the life of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fire Emblem: Fortune&#8217;s Weave<\/strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t know how many times I have to learn this lesson, but I almost never stick with SRPGs that aren&#8217;t named Final Fantasy Tactics. As much as I want to care, Fire Emblem just doesn&#8217;t appeal to me for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ninjala 2<\/strong>:<strong> The Uncharted Planet<\/strong> &#8211; Cartoony open-world action adventure? Using bubblegum as a grappling hook? Now you&#8217;re talking my language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DK Challenge<\/strong> &#8211; Kind of a weird meta-app that unlocks stuff as you play Donkey Kong games. Think achievements, but tied to a series of games. This is a very Nintendo kind of thing to do. Not sure how much I&#8217;ll engage with it, but it&#8217;s certainly <em>something<\/em>. Also there&#8217;s a Mario crossover event in DK Bananza. Neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s literally Vampire Survivors but licensed. Because it&#8217;s made by the Vampire Survivors dev. No question that I&#8217;d be obsessed with it for a few weeks, but I&#8217;ve got enough of these already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lords of the Fallen II<\/strong> &#8211; If I recall correctly, this is a somewhat janky souls-like, which doesn&#8217;t sound great to me. But maybe that was just the first one? Was the sequel better? Should I care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lies of P: Complete Edition<\/strong> &#8211; Another souls-like! And one that I&#8217;ve wanted to play since it was released everywhere else, but I know exactly how it&#8217;s going to go. The same way these always go&#8230; nothing but endless frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Devil May Cry V<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve never played more than the DMC4 demo, and I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s going to change any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muramasa: Revenant Blades<\/strong> &#8211; I remember this game! I think? The original version (or first game?) was on Wii, but I never played it. Maybe I will this time around? But first, I need to find out if this is a remake or a sequel. It&#8217;s terribly unclear to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles<\/strong> trilogy Switch 2 upgrades &#8211; Oh good, I was just saying how I could use a way to kill like 500 hours. I guess I&#8217;m playing the Xenoblade trilogy ag&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Xenoblade Genesis<\/strong> &#8211; A NEW XENOBLADE HOLY CRAP WHY 2027 IT&#8217;S SO FAR AWAYYYYYYY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nintendo Switch Sports Resort <\/strong>&#8211; Oh lord, Nintendo listened to me and we&#8217;re going back to Wuhu Island. I actually would very much like to play this, but it&#8217;s really more of a multipl&#8230; oh, there&#8217;s golf? Okay, I&#8217;m in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Runescape: Dragonwilds<\/strong> &#8211; Did you miss the last few headlines? I don&#8217;t have time for this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hello Kitty Party Land<\/strong> &#8211; Nah, brah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>StarFox<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve had this pre-ordered for a month already. You think I&#8217;m going to miss a StarFox game? I&#8217;ll die first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Final Fantasy Resonance<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m going to buy this just for the HD-2D style. Plus, it just looks like a classic FF game, which I&#8217;m all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pikuniku 2<\/strong> &#8211; Looks silly and fun and maybe kinda dark? Maybe if I ever have downtime again, I&#8217;ll check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World<\/strong> &#8211; I *just* bought the last DQM game, and haven&#8217;t played it yet, so I doubt I&#8217;ll be getting this one. But I very much like that the main characters are Bianca and Nera from DQV. That&#8217;s a strong selling point all on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Duskbloods<\/strong> &#8211; A multiplayer-focused From Software game. I&#8217;m very much looking forward to watching <em>someone else<\/em> play it. Maybe not this network test demo thing, but the full game, eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Splatoon Raiders<\/strong> &#8211; Finally, Nintendo is making a single-player Splatoon game. I deeply enjoy everything about Splatoon, but I&#8217;m so SO bad at it, so I&#8217;m very eager to play this and not have to worry about dragging down my teammates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DELTARUNE<\/strong> Chapter 5 &#8211; Yahoo! It&#8217;s almost time for the festival! And given the way chapter 4 ended&#8230; I have no idea what&#8217;s going to happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve heard nothing but positive buzz about this, and even watched the first hour or so of gameplay, and it looks incredible! But man&#8230; another 100+ hour RPG? I just can&#8217;t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Minecraft<\/strong> &#8211; Switch 2 version coming I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sizzle Reel &#8211; There&#8217;s some neat stuff in here (like <strong>MGS Master Collection 2<\/strong> and a <strong>Tales of Eternia <\/strong>port), but most importantly: a <strong>Fitness Boxing 3 <\/strong>Switch 2 upgrade! It looks like there&#8217;s some new content, so I&#8217;m pumped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kingdom Hearts<\/strong> collections &#8211; I&#8217;ve already got the whole collection on PS4 though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kingdom Hearts IV<\/strong> &#8211; Did I see Noctis there for a second? Is Final Fantasy coming back to Kingdom Hearts? Nah, musta just been a trick of the light. Looks pretty cool, though. But the real question is &#8211; will I ever get around to playing KHIII?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/strong> &#8211; 2026 release date but no gameplay footage?
