My list for the Kirby Month:
Kirby (duh)
Octopath Traveler 2
Life is Strange 2 (seems you forgot this OP)
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line (demo was delicious)
Tales of Symphonia
Digimon World Next Order
Clive n Wrench
The Pathless
Redemption Reapers

If the reviews good:
Labyrinth of Galleria
Blanc
Akka Arrh

And there's gonna be a few Direct shdaowdrops. Hoping for Outer Wilds!
 
Another great eShop thread!

I’m way behind on gaming so I think I’ll mostly be buying stuff on sale rather than getting any new releases. Blanc does look very cool though.

Added it. Thanks!

Played a bit of the Theatrhythm demo this morning and it is really tempting. Although. with all of the additional tracks that they are pulling in from other series', I'm a little bummed that there isn't any Dragon Quest music. I know it's a bit of a licensing nightmare with the DQ music, but they did make a Dragon Quest Theatrythm for 3DS in Japan, so it should be possible. I just have a lot more nostalgia for the old DQ music and that probably would have made it an easy purchase for me. I'm thinking I'll probably still get it down the line, but I'll wait for a good deal on it.

I’m curious about Tyrant’s Blessing?

Looks like a fantasy take on Into the Breach but with enough of its own ideas to differentiate itself too. I’ll stick it on my wishlist for now.

 
Thanks for the thread as always!

I finally started playing Hades after dropping Call of Juarez: Gunslinger due to control issues (why on earth does it also invert the y-axis for gyro?!). I'm on my third run only, but I think I can already see why people love this game so much.

Wow, this looks very Into the Breach 😅. I like Into the Breach quite a bit though, so I'll have to keep an eye on this.

My birthday month definitely getting Tales of Symphonia and Kirby. Interested in Pathless, Blanc, Clive n Wrench, and Drainus but not sure if I'll get them anytime soon. Octopath Traveler 2 I'm waiting to see of they fixed my issues with the first game.
 
What's up with Forgotton Anne, didn't that come out a few years ago? I literally have it on my Switch right now.

Anyway, I was going to get Atelier Ryza 3 but that got delayed to March. I might get Theatrhythm, but I've got plenty to keep me busy already so aside from any interesting sales I'll probably just give my wallet a chance to heal.
 
Just ridiculous when there’s 70-odd releases in a month. No wonder indie devs can struggle to make their game stand out, I tend to follow the awesome work that SwitchUp! do for weekly coverage.

Redemption Reapers is another I’ve got my eye on as it’s an SRPG with a former Fire Emblem director, but unfortunately it’s coming out at the same time as Octopath II.

I made a thread about it here-
famiboards.com

Redemption Reapers announced. SRPG, Feb 2023, by Binary Haze (Ender Lillies devs). Masayuki Horikawa (Former director of Fire Emblem).

Article- This dark fantasy tactical RPG developed by Adglobe and Binary Haze Interactive (ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights) is being brought to life by industry luminaries such as Masayuki Horikawa - known for working on the Fire Emblemseries as a director and scenario/level designer, and...

Great thread!. Also the list is missing Grim Guardians Demon Purge which releases on Feb 23

Getting this time Theatrythm and probably Octopath 2
 
looking forward to Akka Arrh on the 21st, I think that'll be the first of jeff minter's games to get a Switch release

 
oh and I'm doubleposting to ask: does anyone else remember the user Epilexia from the resetera eShop threads? they stopped posting abruptly one day several years ago and I often wonder what happened to them; any other online accounts with that username don't seem to be active either—they sold me on more games than probably any other single person on the internet lol. I hope they're doing well and I'd love to know if anyone here knows anything else!

Yes I remember them. Excellent poster and sadly I have no idea what happened to them. Only hope they're well.

Looks like at some point it was delisted as the publishing rights went from Square Enix back to the developer.

Good to know, thanks for clearing that up! I never knew it left the eShop, but glad to see it's coming back.

At some point I'll double dip on Drainus, definitely want Kirby and Theathryhtm.

Interested in Elderand, also Redemption Reapers, maybe it will be my "FE" this year, both are still a maybe.

I'll boot up the gamecube to replay Symphonia, keep messing up ports of my favorite RPG.

I have wondered this myself. I learned alot from Epilexia's posts.
 


Pine looks really interesting. Another game that launched in a poor state but has received significant support and now actually seems good.

A lot hinges on if Advance Wars does shadow drop / drop anytime between now and early March. I've got a bunch of eShop credit hanging around, saving most of it for Theatrhythm, which is my big must have for the month. But what's left will be Advance Wars, if it's coming. If it's not coming or pushed out farther, I might grab something else. That Grim Guardians looks awesome. Octopath II looks great as well, but I'm starting to get a little burnt out on RPGs at the moment.
 
Damn, how did I miss Mechstermination Force? Just saw it on twitter and it looks amazing... by the same team as Gunman Clive from back on the 3DS too!

I picked up Persona 4 Golden and Seraph's Last Stand. Latter is a budget roguelite that caught my eye.

I found this review pretty helpful for Blanc, it's got a couple opinions in there and they're in line with the OpenCritic average:

Ok another note, did anyone play the action puzzle platformer Clan O'Connal that came out in mid-2021? I just got back to an old saved tab with an article about it, read some reviews and it looks very good. Bunch of very positive reviews. Anyone play it?

Huh didn’t realize Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered dropped on the Eshop back in December. Say I’ve been curious which game is the best intro to the SaGa series? 2 being multigenerational is cool tho

Does anyone have impressions of Trek to Yomi on Switch? The reviews I've read said it is too visually compromised on Switch. That worries me.

I just finished my first full run in Hades. I must admit I've been very positively surprised by the game. I know it reviewed extremely well and people love it, but as I've mentioned in one of these threads earlier, I haven't been that into Supergiant games before.

Although there's variation from the weapons and boons, the stages, enemies and bosses do get a bit repetitious. On the other hand, I really appreciate how concise a single run is. The dialogue is well written and soundtrack superb. Great game!

Anyway - I do think I have to play something else for a while. Preferably something stress free with a slow tempo, lol.

There is so much voice acting in this game. I played over 200 hours and was still getting new lines. I had to stop myself from playing more.
 
How's the old Bit Trip games nowadays? And Switch versions? I have never played these. There seems to be a collection for 1,99€ if you own some other games from the publisher.

How is rain world nowadays ? I heard that it had input lag at launch is it still the case ?
