Super Mario RPG coming to Switch was NOT on my bingo card, but what an awesome surprise. The game that originally made me fall in love with the turn based RPG genre.
-
I have never played it. Can't wait for the release.
-
Same here! I'm 33 but Geno was a fan favourite on GameFAQs back in the day.
-
Same here! Excited to finally try it!

I was not expecting Pikmin 1 and 2 HD ports, but I'll take them.
I'll wait for the physical release to have all 4 and show them to my grand kids 25 years from now, for the release of Pikmin 5.
-
Nintendo is really starting to push Pikmin again and I love it. Glad to have all the games on the switch. Capitalize on the popularity of the system to grow the franchise. Hopefully it's not another 25 years this time!
-
Haha, let's hope we don't have to wait that long, but you never know with Nintendo, if they think they don't have any new idea for the game, it is going to disappear in their locker for next 20 years.

Very excited for the Super Mario RPG remake. It genuinely looks fantastic.
-
Holiday season is feeling a little weak for nintendo, no?
-
10/10 direct for me because of the new 2D Mario.
-
Oh man, Star Ocean looks awesome
-
I’ve never seen the series but I love the art style. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
-
-
Wow! This is a very well put together thread! Great work!
-
Thanks. Appreciated. 😀
-
-
Excited for Mario RPG and Pikmin. Fae Farms looks similar game concept to Stardew Valley to me.
-
SwitchUp Youtube channel did a review and it's very addicting, according to them.
-
Definitely similar to Stardew in terms of storyline/objective. Love the freedom it looks like you'll have and the menus look reverse contrasted too! The fast travel map having where the characters are is so needed sometimes especially if there are characters that move constantly.

I was just telling my girlfriend we need to play Pikmin before pikmin 4 comes out. We pre-ordered it when we got tears of the kingdom with the NSO voucher
-
I haven't played any Pikmin game. Was thinking about starting 3 after TotK, but I wonder if I should start with the first one...
Going to see the trailer and reviews to see what condition the games are in, before making a decision.
-
You can't go wrong with any of them, as they are all a bit unique in their own way.
- Overarching timer forcing you to work somewhat efficiently to complete the game. Puzzles and difficulty are definitely the easiest in the series, but still provide a fun challenge to newcomers and veterans alike
- No overarching timer allowing for a more laid back approach to completing. Introduces a 2nd captain and much more challenging/replayable end game content (a lot of people hold P2 in very high regards, and consider the end game content to be the most difficult in the series)
- Technically there is an overarching timer, but it's implemented in such a way that doesn't create as much stress or pressure like the timer from P1 does. Introduces multiple captains that add another layer of complexity to puzzles as well as optimizing your daily efficiency. Has a very helpful world map that shows the location of objectives, captains, and loose Pikmin. The Deluxe edition has a slew of additional content that I haven't even fully completed, but I believe they're "prequel" missions that help to explain some of the events that happen before the start of the game.
