I think he's asking for Picross games with a twist.
In any case, we know that Lord of the Nazarick is the best Picross game.

joke's on you, I loved Nazarick :3
Heaven's Vault for me. I've wanted to play it, I just never got around to picking it up on Playstation.
ah so they picked this week to start the onslaught of A HANDFUL OF MUST BUYS ALL AT ONCE ....
people of eShoptopia, we're back lol

I have high hopes for Olija and Cyber Shadow. Also pretty curious about Sword of the Necromancer.
This looks incredibly awesome, adding it to my list. Thanks for sharing.
If it's any help, my wife and I really enjoy co-op-ing single player games, for example playing a PnC like Tangle Tower or Broken Age and solving the puzzles together while we take turns controlling the game. That's always been what works best for us compared to more traditional co-op games.

Probably a bug when scraping Amazon.
That Tohu game looks really fun! Might give that one a shot, but would like to see some impressions first

That would be beyond mind blowing
I'm still mentally debating whether to grab the Switch version or play it on Gamepass.
It seems the kinda game the Switch was made for!
ahah, of course but let me dream for a few minutes of playing this on my Switch Lite before going to sleep :)
Now that would make me a very happy man.
I always thought about picking up Yakuza 1 & 2 HD for Wii U (Japanese only), just to have in the collection. The only Yakuza release on a Nintendo machine.
I think the final level of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair may be one of the most poorly designed platform stages ever made relative to the rest of the game. It's absolutely ridiculous and after two attempts, I'm done.
Fortunately, I knew before starting the game that the final level was awful, so I never expected to fully complete it.
That being said, I'm kind of surprised at the praise this game has gotten from some on Era. I mean, it's decent enough, but outside of the final stage, which is horrible, this game has a fatal design flaw: it tries to shoehorn 3D collectathon design into a 2D platformer and it completely kills the pacing of every level. Most of the coins are hidden, which means you're slogging through each level trying to find them. DKC handles the KONG letters perfectly. They're almost always visible. The challenge comes not from locating them, but from figuring out to obtain them, usually through some tricky platforming challenge. This is how you handle a collectable in a linear 2D platformer.
TLDR: Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is ok. It has nothing on any Donkey Kong Country game. Not even close.

I have it for collection reasons. Though due to the button prompts and my incredible laziness to jailbreak my Wii U to actually play the game, I'll just stick to the PS3 version of the HD remasters. Its such a pity they are Japan only for either platform since they are the definitive versions of 1&2 (especially 2, Kiwami 2 ain't got nothing on 2's remaster and the QoL changes make it just edge out the PS2 version played via emulation as the best version)
Anyway, most of my Switch time lately has been divided between Hades and Mario Galaxy. I'm almost done with Galaxy so I've returned to Hades which I was so close to finishing. And finally today I managed to beat the second phase of the final boss and "win" the game. Twice. I really do love it, its a rogue like/lite? without some of the annoyingly random BS the concept can entail, I don't feel like a pathetically weak character hoping to luck out and get a good series of power ups, but rather a powerful character who can get even more powerful with a nice range of actual useful power ups that I get along the way. Most of the weapons feel plenty useful, the art and sound design are ace and the story is surprisingly great and very accommodating to replaying the stages over and over (not quite sure why I'm surprised though, the devs previous games all have really solid narratives as well)
Ghost 'n Goblins Resurrection is up on the EU eShop. I didn't get it so I don't know what the icon looks like yet.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
It feels a bit weird, but this and Capcom Arcade Stadium are the two titles I'm looking forward to the most this year...
Same here. Well, those two games, MH Rise and RE8. I'm a gigantic Capcom fan and this year especially is pretty nuts already for Capcom releases. I've pre ordered GnG and MH Rise already, only game I'm really holding off on pre ordering is RE8 to wait and see which version runs best.
Disjunction had some interesting preview, though based on an antique version of the game
www.pcgamer.com

Hotline Miami meets Deux Ex? That's probably a yes for me dawg.
Disjunction is a pretty cyberpunk game that crosses Deus Ex and Hotline Miami
Neo-noir story stylings make Disjunction stand out from the crowd.

Disjunction is like a stealthier, cyberpunkier Hotline Miami
I like a good sneak and bop. Especially when that sneaking is cyberpunk-flavoured, and people shout at me if my bopping…

Ugh, and does it not have any difficulty settings?
I like the look of the game, but if it's going to be quite difficult, then that's enough to put me off.
What a weird error for Deku Deals to make.
Also, Amazon Mexico listed Yakuza 0 for Switch last year January for a brief moment.
it does not. The bosses are actually quite easy so far (well I only played the first chapter) but the levels are, well...old school. lots of deaths by falling in pits, getting bumped off the air during a jump by a shot or a enemy etc.
The reviews themselves said the game was hard so its no surprise.
it has loads of checkpoints and, so far, plenty of health drops in the levels. there's no consequence for dying (you get a special screen if you beat it w/o dying so unless your gamer pride is extremely into this aspect, nothing to worry about)
I'm still going to give it a try tonight, it's on Gamepass so why the hell not.
I've been addicted to a game called Quest of Dungeons. It's a turn based dungeon crawler where you use either a warrior, wizard, archer or shaman, it's very old school but I'm having a lot of fun with it. It was sitting in my backlog for over a year so it feels good to be getting value from my purchase at last. If it sounds like something you'd enjoy, I recommend it.
If Wii U wasn't region free, I definitely would have grabbed it.
Having managed to finish Hades a few times, I've turned my attention to actually getting through the Gunvolt games which I've had for... a long time. I really like the feel of the games and definitely want to get half decent ranks on each of the levels and do some of these challenges. Managed to S rank two stages so far and A rank the rest, its gonna take a while to S rank all the stages (no idea how I'm doing S+ yet) but I'm already a fan. This time I'll make sure I stick at the games and not put them back on my backlog for several more months!
Im not a rogue fan either, but I still like Hades. Hard to say if you'll enjoy it as well, but unlike other rogue like/lite games its a fairly short game with a decent difficulty curve - power ups are actually good and you won't have a run like Isaac where you get rubbish power ups one after another and have an awful run through RNG.
It'll still take a few tries to clear it though, but I at least felt like I was making progress with each run, rather than hitting a brick wall.
Plus stuff like the presentation, plot etc. in Hades are excellent, with it working well with the multiple playthrough loop.
