| Retail Games - Spoiler:
3rd Farming Simulator 20 NS Life is Strange 2 PS4, ONE
5th Invector Avicii PS4, ONE Off-Road Racing PS4, ONE, NS
6th Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection NS Dead by Daylight Nightmare Edition PS4, ONE Gang Beasts PS4, ONE Junior League Sports 3-in-1 Collection NS Metal Storm NES Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition PS4, ONE, NS
10th Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove ONE, NS
12th RPG Maker MV PS4, NS
13th Bubble Bobble 4 Friends NS New Super Lucky's Tale NS
My Thoughts: I was going to get Life is Strange 2 but Episodes 1-4 are on Game Pass, that I can just buy Episode 5 or even wait for that to also come to Game Pass, either way, I don't need to but this on disc for £30.
Invector looks okay and money goes to charity which is a good thing plus it's like £15, just not sure I need it myself. Yes that is a new NES game, that isn't that shocking but it is to see it on Amazon listed alongside Switch, PS4 etc
Basically nothing for me from retail.
Best of the Rest - Spoiler:
2nd Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw 4K, Blu, DVD
3rd Arise: A Simple Story PSN, XBL EarthNight eShop JigSaw Solace eShop SaGa SCARLET GRACE: AMBITIONS eShop SIMULACRA eShop Skellboy eShop
4th Big Pharma eShop, XBL
5th Alien: Isolation eShop Defenders of Ekron: Definitive Edition eShop Must Dash Amigos eShop NekoMiko eShop Star Ocean First Departure R PSN Tick Tock: A Tale for Two eShop
6th Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey PSN, XBL Breathing Fear eShop Immortal Planet eShop, XBL Lucy In The Sky Cinema
10th Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger eShop Riverbond eShop Shovel Knight Gold Amiibo Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove Amiibo 3 Pack
11th Headliner: NoviNews XBL
12th The C64 MicroComputer Jamestown+ eShop SuperEpic: The Entertainment War eShop
13th Dead End Job eShop Event Horizon: Space Defense eShop Jumanji: The Next Level Cinema
16th Angel Has Fallen 4K, Blu, DVD
17th Wattam PSN
19th Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Cinema
20th Cats Cinema Farabel eShop
23rd Regions of Ruin eShop
25th 8-Ball Pocket eShop Demon Pit eShop Oniken: Unstoppable Edition & Odallus: The Dark Call Bundle eShop Straimium Immortaly eShop Tamashii eShop XenoRaptor eShop
27th The Clocker XBL Playing With Fire Cinema Spies In Disguise Cinema
My Thoughts: Will see Jumanji and Star Wars in the Cinema, I wouldn't mind seeing Lucy in the Sky just when it comes to home video.
As for games, it's a good month for downloads as Arise, SIMULACRA and Wattam all look good with Wattam being from the guy behind Katamari with some more that might be worth a look such as EarthNight and Headliner.
Some big ones as well like Alien for Switch, I will point out SaGa is listed on the eShop but not PSN and Star Ocean the other way around where I do think they're coming to both systems.
Oddly as well Star Ocean is a remaster of a remake. Ohh and a micro-console for Jimbob maybe?
Yeah not a lot for me here that I will be looking at my backlog which I feel is Switch: Luigi's Mansion 3, Lady Layton, Tokyo Dark with a bit of Ring Fit and of course I've got some of Ibbsters games along with another run at Three Houses PS4: Days Gone I'm about 6hrs in and is actually rather good, then it's VR stuff such as Blood & Truth Xbox One: Jedi Fallen Order from a physical standpoint but with Game Pass and Gold got likes of Outer Worlds, Life is Strange 2 with more being added (40+ games announced for the service at XO19) That's the main three systems without looking at Apple Arcade which I've barely touched, retro etc that till this post to more than likely Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore is backlog or like I said new stuff added to services, and I guess Christmas but you get my point I'm not really planning to buy any new games (I will see retro and I will want it lol). |

| Huh. What happened to Brain Training on Switch? I thought that was out this month, and was Nintendo's big game?
I'm really not sure they need one to be honest. There's nothing there for me and I can't emphasise enough how utterly fine with that I am. |

| Does anyone want a mini C64? Not even I want a mini C64. Yeah, that month's not great - but then I remembered I have enough games to play until about 2024. |

| Star Wars is gonna be real interesting. The leaks have all shown it's going to be a s***show that's going to make everyone hate the film. Like the OT? Well literally nothing in the trilogy mattered, every major character had a shit life and died a chump, and they didn't win anything. Like TLJ? Good news, everything you liked about it also gets made irrelevant! Personally I'm most excited to see if the leaks about Kylo are right (and considering the major leaks came out before the last two trailers which ended up confirming a lot of details in said leaks...), because hooboy if they are he might just win the title for most irrelevant character ever!
I can see no possible way this movie will backfire. Nope. Suffice to say I'm very excited to see the internet explode as they finally let the hate flow through them. It's amazing to think that in a year that produced franchise-killing Got season 8 we're going to see something even worse.
Gaming-wise nothing. Might pick up Xenoblade 2, but nothing new-release related. |

| I'm up for some backlog time - haven't even bought Luigi yet!
Also, my rewatch is getting me increasingly pumped for Star Wars. |

I think they're both big games ones for a more casual audience which the Switch really does have based of people in work and the other is for the hardcore, who won't mind playing a 80hrs JRPG with subtitles. |

| I suppose... I just think having a port of a last-gen game as a big release is a bit cheeky, no matter how few people bought the original. |

| 3 of the top 10 are on the current financial report and we've had likes of Donkey Kong in the Top 10 before, yeah so I think Nintendo can and will treat a port as a big game. |

I'm sure they will, I'm talking about me. There's also a distinct difference in my mind between the first two years of a console, when everybody should expect the schedule to be a bit patchy and ports help fill that gap; and the third year onwards, when the machine should have hit its stride and I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting a big new game every month. Mind you, that rush is probably why we got a rushed Pokémon game... It's not an easy balance. |

| I'll be picking up New Super Lucky's Tale as I've really liked what I've seen of that and the £25 price tag on websites like The Game Collection seems more than reasonable. Outside of games I'll obviously be going to watch Star Wars and I'm gonna love every minute of it because Star Wars. |

| I thought this month was going to be quiet then just saw what's coming this week on Xbox and there's a bunch I'm looking at like Arise, Halo Reach, Life is Strange 2 Ep 5 which means all is now out, a bunch of new Game Pass games like My Friend Pedro and Wandersong.
The backlog grows |

| Next month and the first of 2020 will go up next Sunday. It's better then you might think for Jan as the Switch gets two decent releases, a rather big anime series gets an RPG and a few sports games mixed with some digital games getting physcal version.
Name ideas like always, please. |
