The Backlog Check-in Vol. 377: 3/22/25: AI Limit/Atomfall/The First Berserker: Khazan Edition

[argyle]

Highlights (for me):
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is first up in the video, but no release date yet
Patapon 1 & 2 are coming to Switch as a bundle
Everybody's Golf is coming 2025

Highlights (for others):
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Metroid was definitely the highlight for me, along w/ HSG. How in the heck is HSG coming to Switch anyway? I thought it was a Sony IP? Or did they ditch it when they were closing their Japanese studios?

0 is at the top for sure. It's been a long time since 3 and 4 for me, so they would probably suffer from non-recency bias...though I always had 4 as one of the better ones. I really enjoyed Like a Dragon, slightly more than Infinite Wealth. 6 is still in my mind as a great time, I enjoyed parts of 5 (this is for sure the longest game if you try to do all side quests, etc).

Off the top of my head - 0, Like a Dragon, and 6 as the top 3 in that order. It's a tough question .

Indeed. No stinkers in the bunch from my perspective.

Apparently they licensed the IP to Bandai Namco for this game. I'm sure I'll play it, but I didn't love the trailer. Very Nintendo... "Baby's First Hot Shots!"

I didn't watch anything other than the bits for Metroid. Definitely what I'm interested in as well. I still have to play MP3, but 1 & 2 are high on my all-time list.
