Mario, Metal Gear, Sonic, and Dave the Diver.

Yeah, it'll be quite a full month for me. I wish one of them came out closer to the early part of October.
 
It seems there is a ton of variety this month. I would think there should be a little something for everybody here.

My picks for the month:

  • Mario Wonder - Day 1, excited to play this with the family.
  • Disgaea 7 - The demo of this sold me on it.
  • Dave the Diver - Assuming no performance issues on Switch. I'm really looking forward to this one and it's been hard not just getting it on Steam.
 
0
I didn't know there was a new Harvest Moon game out! What's the performance like on the Switch?
 
0
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Metal Gear Solid I'll get on PC
Interested in Haunted House
Still have to play the original Detective Pikachu

A jam packed October! Too bad there's no spooky halloween game this time around, like last years RE8 cloud or 2021's Fatal Frame. Ah well, lots of other stuff to deal with:

Def getting:
Super Mario Wonder
Detective Pikachu
Metal Gear Solid Collection
Front Mission 2
Borderlands 3
Batman Arkham Trilogy
Sonic Superstars
Silent Hope
Gargoyles Remastered
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2
Disgaea 7 (lots of stuff this month but no doubt this will get most of my time)

Maybe:
Wild Card Football (Saber is finally off their 2K chains. But does this mean they are free of microtransactions? Their sports games are actually fun)
Company of Heroes Collection (I've already beaten this on iPad but if the performance better than that, I might double dip)
Hellboy Web of Wyrd (I need to see more of that gameplay. Sounds like a small package)
Dave the Diver (Demo didn't sell me on it enough. Deep sea exploration nice but feels it could get old fast)
Dark Anthology Little Hope (loved the first one on Switch, could this be any good too? I heard people saying it's not)
CRYMACHINA (Again, a game I loved its prequel. But I need more reviews first)

Also, this month should be an Indie World month. There could be some big shadow drops. Like... Alien Hominid HD? God, I hope so.

I'm probably getting Dave the Diver day one, if there are no technical issues. Enjoyed the demo a whole ton.

It runs super well on Steam Deck, which I know has way more horsepower than Switch. I don’t think they’d do a demo a month ahead of release if they weren’t confident
 
THis is a good month, but I'm only getting silent voice (since it was very cheap here) and Mario Wonder

Super Mario Wonder, Batman Arkham Collection and MGS Master Collection for me this month, lots of other games I want too but I can’t buy them all sadly haha.

PictoPull sounded very generic and I'm not sure why I even clicked it, but turns out it's an indie Pullblox/Pushmo clone. Doesn't look very polished, but after spending some time with the great 3DS originals earlier in the year, I am up for more.

 
0
Barring any kind of crazy sales or surprise releases, just Super Mario Wonder for me. Sonic Superstars will probably get a sale soon enough, I can wait until then.
 
Is World of Horror not this month as well? Seems a missed opportunity if it’s not out in time for Halloween.
It's dated for the 19th and has a page on the UK eShop but it isn't available for purchase yet.
 
Front Mission 2 for me next week, then on to Mario! It’ll be the first time I’ve picked up a Mario game at launch since SMB3 on the NES :D
 
What's up with the Switch port for Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong?

I think I've seen it listed for September 28th, late October, late November and none of the above.

Something came up and blocked the NA release of the game. It's out right now in the European eShop, you can get it from there. Australian eShop doesn't block CC's.
 
Anyone here tested Tents and Trees? How is it compared to the usual Picross games?
Tents and Trees is the Dr. Mario to Picross' Tetris. You're using the same mechanics to accomplish a different goal. The presentation is pleasant and once I got the hang of how to solve the puzzles I found it to be pretty addictive. I really enjoyed the game and think it's a good complement to Picross. If you like Picross there's a good chance you'll like Tents and Trees. It's got a demo on the eShop so I'd say give that a shot.
 
The Dark Pictures Anthology Little Hope is out now on Switch. I picked it up and checked it out. The opening area looks pretty rough, but after that the game is little better. I will continue to play this some more and maybe even check out Multiplayer this weekend.

Here's some Gameplay of it running on Switch.

Thanks for sharing!

Doesn't seem 24fps like the first one and resolution also seems to be fine. I guess Supermassive learned a lot about Switch while doing Little Nightmares III.

Will get this one soon and I hope the third game makes it too. They say that one is the best in the series.

I asked this in the general thread, but perhaps this is a more appropriate place. Do you have any recommendations on Japanese eShop exclusives? Bonus points for having an English translation or not a lot of text to begin with.
 
There's 4 games I'm hoping to get on sale next month(tho one may wait): MR Sparks of Hope Gold (if it hits $20), Pikmin 1/2, sonic frontiers(if it hits $20) and Fate samurai remnant
I’d be tempted if Metroid prime remastered ever went on sale

Not sure if this really fits the criteria but I've heard good things about the SFC version of Kirby's Star Stacker and that's on NSO. I keep meaning to check it out.
 
Quiet thread this month.

I will say: you should have your eyes on Dave the Diver this week. It's excellent.

I'm also looking at Headbangers: Rhythm Royale next week.
I’ve had my head down on spooky retro games and Mario Wonder, but looking forward to The Last Faith next month!
 
0
I'd like to hear more about this one. Is it GaaS? Is it online only? Yes answer to either one of those questions would kill my interest immediately.

I'm pretty sure the answer to both questions is yes. It is an online battle royale game after all.

I was curious about Dave the Diver, but tried the demo and wasn't that into it. Outside Mario I've only bought the Watermelon Game this month, but at least there's still Frog Detective coming up!

 
I want this game so badly

I'm about halfway through (got a Swtich code for review) and I will say... just get it.

I was curious about Dave the Diver, but tried the demo and wasn't that into it.

That's fair, I will say that the demo barely even scratches the surface of the game. It just so consistently surprises by adding more and more layers as it goes on and you never know what wacky thing you'll discover next.

I’ve got a list of stuff to grab on sale in the sales next month. And hoping for a Gigabash sale when the Ultraman dlc drops on the 8th

I bought Robodunk which is a really cool basketball themed roguelite. Think NBA Jam with robots where in between matches you upgrade your robots with faster passing, better dunking ability etc. It's got a lot of personality as in the campaign mode you can unlock lore for all the different teams and the descriptions are written in a very humorous manner.

Aside from that I've been playing a lot of Brotato. Ridiculously addictive game.

I hope more bullet heavens come to the Switch soon.

Yeah, I've seen a trailer for it and there's definitely more to it than the demo showed. The worry I have is that there's a lot of farming sim / resource management kind of gameplay that I'm not that much into. I know a lot of people love the game, and may give it a chance anyway.

Does anyone know when Star Ocean First Departure R is likely to be on sale next? I meant to buy it the last time it was cheap but remembered too late. I'm planning on going through it and then straight into the remake of the second game.
 
Just saw this on Nintendo's site - apparently Cult of the Lamb is getting a game trial starting today:

dfd63dbbac0efc88


I've always wanted to give that a shot so I'll definitely play that some.

Also, I purchased a $50 eShop card from Costco and when I try to use the code they emailed me, I get an error that "This activation code has already been used.". Has this every happened to anybody else here? Seems odd for them to email me an already used code, but I guess I'll have to contact them and try to get a refund.

You can check its price history here: https://www.dekudeals.com/items/star-ocean-first-departure-r

It looks like it drops to match its lowest price every 2 or 3 months, and it just came off that discount at the end of September, so I think your next likely opportunity is the end of November or December, probably around Black Friday sales time. There's always a possibility they discount it again at the start of November when the new one releases though.

Costco's got a new giftcard bundle, wonder if it'll get the same periodic discount as the others or maybe even a bigger one?
