I’ve never heard of, nor played, any of those games (other than being superficially aware of the final fantasy series).
I guess I live under a rock.
astro bot (4 titles over 11 years), dragon quest (11 titles over 38 years), ace attorney (11 titles over 23 years), or balatro (winning best indie game at both the game awards and the golden joysticks this year)?
It must be a big rock?!
Looking at that list, they seem to be mostly (all?) console or mobile games, which probably explains why I’ve not heard of them.
Are you sure you live in the same universe as the rest of us?
None of them are mobile games. Many of them are on Steam right now and have been available on Steam for months.
Of the OP list astro bot is ps5 only, final fantasy has a PC release scheduled for january and the rest are currently available on steam.
Ace Attorney was a GBA/DS series for awhile.
However, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit was something that went untranslated (officially, there was a fan patch) for a long time. Fan translation came out 2014, official translation 2024. The base game came out in Japan in 2011 for the DS. It’s definitely not new so I’m not sure it goes on a 2024 list. On the other hand, seeing this series get acknowledged is pretty cool so…
I also live under a rock. I do not play console, and although I do play some mobile games I’m very uninformed about what most of them are. I have heard of Balatro, the Dragon Quest series in general, Astro Bot, the Final Fantasy series in general, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. I clearly know about Ace Attorney. The other games are totally new to me.
