    You missed my favourite announcement, Trails in the Sky remake! They were waiting for me to start the game on PC before remaking the first one.

    Next Rune Factory also looks good. Hope it performs well.

    Can’t believe Namco actually remembered that other Tales games besides Symphonia exist.

    Now give us Destiny DC + 2. Or anything else that hasn’t been released in the west for that matter, anything.

    Nice, Fitness Boxing is a really great series I’m glad it’s continuing. Became one of my pandemic routines and has stuck with me. Great cardio.

        @TAG @astrsk , there is a demo for (at least one, if not more) Fitness Boxing (games). Try it out.

        For me, I much prefer Ring Fit, as it provides more varied exercise, and for kinda boxing I play ARMS.

          Great tip! I forgot about the demo. I find Fiteness Boxing is just a nice entry level trainer and it really depends on how honest you are with the movements and working to improve your form. I find it is good cardio but maybe that’s just me. I would call it a good supplementary workout for variety/changing things up with Ring Fit which can be a bit much some days (for me at least).

        I haven’t used Ring Fit, but Fitness Boxing is mostly just boxing, not full cardio. Though advanced training have exercises that also train your lower body, I didn’t use it much.

        You can also cheat without much trouble (due to how detection work with JoyCon), but if you care about your fitness, not sure why you would intentionally do wrong exercise.

    I sunk so many hours into Capcom vs SNK 2 on PS2 that it’s possible I might have even been almost competent. Then again, I did main Ken, soooooo… maybe not.

    I like the idea of the Suikoden remasters but I know I don’t have the kind of time or attention span needed anymore. Those games are beastly. Though… I do wonder if you can still push the one gate out of the way in S2 and access a much later area. I have some fond memories of making the mad dash to town to get a save point, then barely surviving one or two fights in order to get a massive level boost. Did it trivialize the combat for most of the game? Yes. Did I have fun on my 3rd or 4th playthrough? Also yes.
