For me, this month I'll pick up for sure:
Harvestella for Switch
Sonic unsure if I'll get on Xbox for the shiniest version or Switch as Sonic feels more at home there
Tactics Ogre for Switch as I just can't get enough Square Enix Strategy/Tactical RPGs
Pokémon again more Switch, which I'm leaning towards Violet  

If I can get the Splatoon 3 amiibo then keen on those as well

A few maybes such as
The Chant, want to know more about the game first
God of War Ragnarök, I may just rent via Boomerang like I did Horizon Forbidden West & I can wait.  Just will I get spoiled if I wait till like March 2023 to play it, as already been spoiled on Gotham Knights for instance.
Pentiment it's on Game Pass and is from Obsidian that I think it will be decent
Dark Pictures Devil in Me, I do like these sorts of game however I played The Quarry this year meaning I'm not in any rush for something like that again plus another maybe just rent it
Gungrave G.O.R.E, liked the one on PS2 and this in Game Pass

What about you guys?

I have two games pre-ordered already Pokemon (natch) and Goat Simulator. I'll likely get Ragnarok day one too, I know I said elsewhere I can wait to play it but now I've finished GoW I'm not sure I can, really looking forward to it.

There's a load of other things here I'd love to get like Sonic, Harvestella, Tactics ogre, the Pokemon Switch Console and the Ragnarok controller but don't think I can stretch for even one of those. Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is one I could see myself picking up if its cheap enough though.

Sonic Frontiers, Pokemon Scarlet, Atari 50 and the four new Evercade cartridges are what I'll be spending my Scots pounds, schillings and pence on this November.

I've changed my mind, my titles should in fact get picked.

Pokémon this month, natch. There's a lovely big postal strike for most of it too, so that'll be fun to work around!

It did get picked by Sora

I'll probably get both Pokemon games, one as my main and one to stream.
I'll be all over the Splatoon Amiibo.
And I'm actually very tempted by Sonic . . .

Nothing jumps out at me there at all, which is fine because I've been thinking of getting a Steam deck at the end of November.

In 3,000 words or more, what can a Steam Deck at the end of November offer that the Evercade EXP can't?

I may go digital with Pokémon, like I did with SWiSH but the £50 though (I would buy credit elsewhere for less) or the 2 for £80 which I can't think what else there is worth getting digitally.

I'm only immediately interested in God of War: Ragnarok - I think having a Pokémon game earlier in the year has satiated me for wanting another one of those for a while and there's not much else on the list of interest for me. I am morbidly curious about Sonic Frontiers, but unless it's a secret all-timer, I'd be very surprised if I ended up buying it.

I'll give you three words...

Emulation, emulation emulation & emulation.

Naughty naughty

I've used mine for Ghostwire Tokyo, Asterigos and got other bits like Metal Gear Rising downloaded.

I'm waiting for neat indies not Game Pass, mostly though.

Not really if I dump roms from the games I own. (I'll be using MH4U to test this)

Plus don't get wrong there's plenty of steam only games I fancy playing as well.

Trombone Champ.

Yes! Now with added gyro controls.  



Also I'll probably get this:

I'm now getting Sonic Frontiers for Christmas, oddly feels like a Christmas game. And give me more time to play Square Enix games.

Yesterday Somerville, got dated for the 15th for Xbox & Game Pass. Jay be happy for Fantasy Critic.

My big gaming backlog is on the PC, and I hardly ever sit at the desktop to play the vidjagames, except with other folks. So actually a Steam Deck is feeling more and more of a possibility...
*checks how often he plays the Switch in handheld mode*
Oh never mind

I'm alright for games I think - I just don't get God of War - "I'm learning to be a better man, son, now let's punch zombies for 10 minutes straight".

Well, will you get any of Decembers games? When that list goes up next Sunday, name ideas like always please.

Merry Crisismas Core: Final Fantasy Desevenber

...yes I think that's appropriately tortured.

Well, despite not contributing, I'm secretly disappointed that was the default entry.

Actually changed my mind, and might get Atari 50. It wasn't my nostalgia (we had our shitty home computers to fill the gap until the NES) but I do like learning about bits of gaming history I missed.
I've also heard a lot of good things from contributor and general good man Dan Amrich, formerly of NGamer's 3rd Cousins in Future US.

I hear its a really good collection and telling the history of Atari. I have seen it for £27 already on Switch.

You know what a good solution to this would be?

Also I'm actually going to stand up for this one, despite what I said above. I managed to work Christmas and December into a big release for the month. It's decent.

Well, sure, if you think getting words to sound a bit like other words is a joke unto itself.

It's like you haven't met me. Yes it I do and yes it is.
