I've only played Fire Emblem out of those listed but can wholeheartedly recommend it so I voted for that.

Where has this silent Fire Emblem majority come from? Why are they so shy?

I think that they may be busy strategising and socialising, Cutty.

I'll never forgive Pikmin 4 for ruining Bingo Battle.

Advance Wars if you loved it back in the day and you know you are a sucker for nostalgia (i.e. beyond a few minutes of "aww, wasn't it great").

Fire Emblem Three Houses has a great story mode with genuine replayability, but the combat is much better in Engage (is that an option?) so if you end up going for a Fire Emblem I would choose the one based on which matters to you more: story or gameplay.

Engage would be an option but I heard Three Houses was a better overall game.

Pikmin real time strategy game of sorts.

Pokémon Snap I haven’t played properly yet...


A good point. The choice is betwen an RPG, a strategy RPG, an RTS, a TBS... and an on-rails shooter. One of these is not like the others!

Fire Emblem has taken a surprise, maybe even suspicious lead with less than half an hour to go. :o

Aww that's a shame, I wanted you to get Pikmin 4, it's a lovely game that I enjoyed more than both the switch fire emblems (but that's my preference for the genres I suppose!)

It's ended 9-9 between the two so I guess I'll just flip a coin later? :lol:

Mario RPG is great, though it's a remake, and one that is similar to TTYD. Might be worth it if you're a fan of that, or not if you don't want to burn out on that genre.

Pikmin 4 is decent, very relaxed game. Bombardment of handholding is very off-putting, but there's some decent challenge in the game from dandori, and generally nice environments to explore.

New Pokemon Snap is a great game and a very good sequel to the original, with more emphasis on trying to get better snaps of pokemon. I'd probably recommend this if you're looking for a new experience that isn't a remake, though it's a bit older so you might be able to find it much cheaper than the others.

3 is the series high imo, 4 is still very recommended though

1 is the best

EDIT: Ah I see it's a tie. I've only played a couple of Fire Emblem games and generally don't like the genre. No idea what the new ones are like, so I'll go in favour of Pikmin 4.

We await Cutty's purchase decision.

Will the past-the-deadline votes count? Perhaps a demo will be tried out first? Will GRcade have aided or hindered the outcome?

Only Cuttooth can say!

Every one of those games are a winner.
