A lot of games this month, as we do see a few ports to current gen and the annual sports games, which I'm not that bothered about.

What I am bothered about is Splatoon 3 which I've had pre-ordered for ages digitally as I really want to get into the multiplayer, DioField Chronicle which I will get on Switch (Anyone played the demo?) and keep the run of Square games going, then that continues on PS4 with Valkyrie Elysium.

Now there are a few maybes like Steel Rising depending on reviews. The Last of Us Part I is something I'll get one day. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure I would like to play but not fussed about the other NIS Classic game to spend £40 on a collection which I only want to play half of it. Life is Strange I may get for my ever-growing Switch collection as I've never actually had it physically, yet I do have them both on Stadia if I want to just play them.

I do also have a feeling we will see the physical release of Bayonetta 1 this month, as I would think it comes out before Bayonetta 3.

If you've got Game Pass, you better fuckin' play Psychonauts 2 you fuckers.

Anyway probably nothing new for me, I'm not even buying games I absolutely want to play.

Which I did but nice to see a physical version and can see it being popular on the PlayStation side as not sure how many would have paid £50 for it digitally.

Why the hell is there a Hitchcock Vertigo game!?

As you can probably tell from me zeroing in on something I'm definitely not going to pick up, it's a fallow month for me.  There are a couple of maybes, in the form of Trails from Zero (the Back Page Discord luuuuuuurves the Trails series) and Made in Abyss, but there's a good chance that even I might be RPG-ed out after Xenoblade 3 and then receiving Live-A-Live in a few days.  If I could aim I would pick up Splatoon 3, but I can't aim so I won't pick up Splatoon 3.

A couple of other Very Interesting Takes from the list:

That’s a pleasingly rubbish-looking September there, giving me lots more time with August’s Two Point Campus, PAC-MAN World Re-Pac and TMNT Cowabunga Collection. It’ll just be Splatoon 3 for me next month.

I'd be interested in trying Ooblets I reckon, aside from that it's all about Splatoon 3.

And Paw Patrol Grand Prix.

I've got Vertigo on Steam to play on my Deck at somepoint, believe it's an adventure game.

Trails from Zero is a maybe for me as well.

That spoiler is grand.

Probably nowt for me, to be honest. I'm not overly fussed about Splatoon 3 and there's nothing else there of interest. Time to keep tackling the backlog!

SPLATOOOOOOOOOONNN



Maybe Ooblets if I hear good things. I'll also blow a couple grand visiting you cunts.

I do have Ooblets on Xbox for 2 years before the studio posted that stuff about Epic if I remember correctly, I played a bit but basically been waiting for 1.0.

I might get my SteamDeck in September, that not a lot of games is good as that be spenny, and I'll pick up a few things for that, I've just bought a dock.

I missed out on Ooblets in that post, but to be honest the more I see of it the less likely I feel I am to play it. It feels very Wholesome Direct Fodder, or 'dee diddle dee' for those who listen to Back Page.

I walked to every game shop in Nagano this morning and none of them had the Splatoon OLED. I'm on preorder lists through three different websites as well, but no dice yet

Did they have Nagano Winter Olympics '98 though? I must know

I've definitely seen it around. I ought to pick up a copy and have a crack at it, really.

Actually managed to get the new splatoon 3 OLED ordered a few hours ago so that plus the game will be my lot this month I think.

Next Sunday, October will go up a month with a few Switch exclusives and notable ports for the hybrid. There's also a new Mini console, the big annual shooter, a superhero game amongst others.

Name ideas please.

Sorry I wasn't here to suggest something else, guys.

No one else did either, all a massive letdown. Hopefully can come up with some better ones for November with Pokémon, God of War and Sonic.

What can I say, lads? Y'all stuffed it.
