    Unicorn overlord is an actual must I could not put the game down it's absorbed 40 hours of my time. Loved every moment of it. It never felt like a chore. It's a big recommend. Sometimes Jrpgs take an hour or more before things start to get going. Unicorn Overlord starts right away.
  • @Jakco808
    Visual novels are super niche and i love them
  • @bobbymoss6160
    Thanks for sharing your list Emily. The problem I find with buying so many games is that I don't have time to play them. While I want a number of them, I tend to really just buy 1 game at a time and beat that until I decide to get another one, or getting them when they're on sale.
  • @wrenboy2726
    Signalis is one of my favorite little gems on the system. It felt perfect for the Switch.
  • Dont buy MH collection. Part 2 is a digital download. It would be better to buy the individual MH Stories games if you want both on the actual cart.
  • i love the idea of collecting but find it super overwhelming to get stsrted and organized. your videos are perfect for me to live vicariously lol
  • Fomo gets me so often and I don't have time to play everything, I typically wait until things are cheaper. Like your list!
  • @10191927
    One game I suggest hunting down because it’s already getting expensive is the Megaman X Legacy Collection 2, the Japanese version. It’s a physical game card, while the US version is a physical card with a digital download code for Legeacy collection 2. I managed to get it while it was still cheap-ish, but it’s climbing to like $170 last time I checked. Also I highly suggest pre-ordering the Marvel vs Capcom collection, that’s bound to be a sought after copy as well as people hunting down Switch systems just for that game.
  • @erallen97
    I’m also working on getting more JRPGS soon. Unicorn Overlord, Harvestella, and Y’s VIII are some I want in my collection next. Love your game list!
  • @IsaiahHollins
    I love limited run games when ever I want to buy a physical copy of a digital title 😊
  • I just picked up the Bayonetta games on Switch. Never played the 3rd one, so that should be cool. I typically only grab games on there that I can't get on PC, but there are some games that I'd like to grab just because it's neat to have them on there, or it's a good collection like some of the Resident Evil stuff, or maybe the Metal Gear Collection. One thing I gotta say about Switch is that it's absolutely amazing that they manged to get SO MANY games on there. Stuff I never thought in a million years would show up on it. It's to the point where if that's all I had access to was a Switch I'd be pretty happy. Really impressive what they've done with it.
  • @malecus7664
    Came in late to the switch in ‘21 but am pleasantly surprised. Very happy with the indie games and shoot ‘em ups. I think that the fact that the memory cards and games have no moving parts will be good for future preservation and also the fact that there are so many of the consoles in circulation.
  • @JunJunMusume
    I really enjoy your channel. Not only you have good taste but your content is very soothing. As a small rant of mine, not towards you, in my country it's getting harder and harder to get physical games at an honest price.
  • @ClaytonMorris
    I've spent over 100 hours in Unicorn Overlord on Nintendo Switch and I don't want to stop. Such an amazing game.
  • Esp when it comes to JRPGs, Suruga-ya ( the Japanese chain of 2nd hand shops ) has been doing free international shipping promos most weekends so far this year. Some games are used/ like new. Some are marked as used/ like new but arrive new and sealed ( because if they didn't get it straight from the publisher, then it's used even when it's sealed. ) As an example, you have Dragon Quest Treasures on your 2nd Amazon list and Amazon's price was $55.03. I snagged 2 copies from Suruga-ya last week for 1300 yen (~$8) each and that Japanese release includes full English including voice over. That's not even getting into the dozens of games which only have physical in Japan but that release includes full English.
  • Let's hope Nintendo has a better plan for preserving the Switch games, unlike the DS consoles.
  • @jacytodd
    I 100% use Amazon wish lists to track games I want to buy or keep an eye on. I even use them for lists of books, tools, gift ideas, etc. but yeah, I vibe with your video completely!
  • Saw SMT V Vengeance on your list! Whatever console you buy it for its a must play!
  • @silverian
    I also have become selective. I used to buy also cheaper games, which were not top priority, but nowadays I try to buy games that I play later.
