And probably Lunar, as I’ve never played them. Great time for RPG fans.And for the next couple of months, Fantasy Life and Rune Factory. Very nice!Is Capcom Fighting Collection 2 not getting a European/UK release then… 🤔 😕 Might have to import if so, I guess..Two quid cheaper for the epic edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X through the My Nintendo Store than the standard edition is at GAME.This is why that chain is dying. Fat Boy Ashley is killing it with greed.I’ll be putting most of my gaming hours in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Really looking forward to playing it for the first time ever. Same goes for the Lunar Collection which I also plan to get.XCX and Tetris Forever. Will be very interesting to see how Nintendo approaches this month on the announcements side of things.Xenoblade X would be day one of there was a collectors edition. As is, I’ll get Suikoden at a discount and skip Lunar. I don’t think the Lunar games have aged particularly well.Great months for Jrpg fans.Xenoblade Chronicles X DE Yay Little Kitty Big City is purfect physical! Also getting Rita’s Rewind and Tetris Forever. 😻I have a few physical pre-orders this month.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Tokimeki – Roadmap to the Future are my most wanted physical releases for March / April.. and I bet some of them won’t even have a listing here, lol. Today I got Everlasting Flowers in the mail and wanted to add it to my collection here but no listing. Absolute clowning going on around here.Had never heard of Beyond the Ice Palace 2. Or 1, for that matter.Checked out a video on Steam. Looks interesting. Will have to see how it reviews.Beyond the Ice Palace 2 is so odd, I played the original on C64 but it doesn’t seem to have much of a connection to this new game. They should have included the original as I wouldn’t mind revisiting it for nostalgia’s sake. The whole game was really short, had good music though.
