Dokapon Kingdom Connect

(i'd pick out something like unicorn overlord otherwise but that definitely takes more than a weekend lol)

since crysis is prob secured for the poll i guess i'll pick like Battlefield 2 (thought about stuff like mass effect and mw2 as well but battlefield def impressed me more for its time)

tough call since i really like Cofagrigus and the full Chandelure line (cofagrigus and lampent specifically both probably make my top 10, maybe 15 mons period) but gen 3 steel is 100% bangers to me. Metagross best pseudo legendary (beldum and metang are fun too), Aggron best pseudo-pseudo lol (and aron and lairon are even more fun than their counterparts tbh), i have a real soft spot for all the classic regis and Registeel's mixed distribution makes him my favourite to use personally, i also love all mew clones and Jirachi is no exception, and then Mawile is just my favourite of the lot

it's a shame for either type to bow out before round 2 but for me i really hope it's steel that can stay

save for the wimpod line i really like gen 7's lineup tbh, shame it's not doing better here

i only use the switch's stand tbh, but i get that that's not a perfect option for everyone

Eden

in a weird way, while it makes sense to me that child of light is more widely known and getting more responses here it simultaneously doesn't feel like it SHOULD be, and i don't mean in like a "child of eden deserves to be more popular than it" and more just that it feels like it was bigger than it actually was. idk

finally actually played the Until Then demo and i'm changing that from a maybe picking it up any time soon to definitely getting it day 1 (god it was so good)

down to pick up endless ocean/animal well/ttyd hd/lorelei on sale eventually

but the only ones I think I'll actually pick up any time soon are Touhou Gensou Wanderer Foresight, Shinjuku Soumei (assuming it doesn't get delayed again) and maybe Until Then on pc, and Touhou Mystia's Izakaya and Rainbow Cotton on switch (well the latter is a multiplat launch but i've only been getting cotton games on switch tbh)

yeah even for me after checking the whole month, there really isn't that much this month tbh. i guess there were like, maybe 10 other games on my wishlist i didn't mention but i don't see myself picking those up before a sale either. (i will say that the most noteworthy ones in that regard were Tempus Bound, Gift, Read Only Memories Neurodiver and Umbraclaw btw)

both types represented so strong in gen 3 tooo

Castlevania: Bloodlines (Sega Genesis)
Wario's Woods (NES, SNES)
Cyberia (PC)
Tekken (Arcade)
King of Fighters '94 (Arcade, Neo Geo)

on another note, i'll just add that while rdr2 is reportedly best on xbox, it is also a game that runs in 30fps even on the one x, whereas titanfall 2 stays at 60 on base xb1, which is one reason i opted to not support the former yesterday

also yeah it's supposed to be titanfall 2 not 1 on the poll lmao (1 got no votes)

i feel strongly about this one and it's for a game i don't think anyone else here even owns

it is absurd how well optimised it is, literally insane that this game has a smaller filesize than most of the virtual console titles and can push such impressive looking visuals through this level of compression

seems nobody would bite, unfortunate

Titanfall 2 iguess

surely not the most ambitious on the console outright but high up enough up there for it to be impressive how stable the performance is at least
