Canadian retailer Video Games Plus, one of the best retailers for picking up video games, ran a special promotion where you can get 2x bonus points so I figured I'll grab some Nintendo Switch games though I did struggle to pick and choose which ones to get. I eventually settled on four games, three of which I actually already own on PlayStation 4 but I wanted to own them for Switch as well.
Catherine Full Body is the expanded version of the original puzzle classic. I recently played the original and it's surprisingly addictive on its puzzle mechanics and great fun, and because of its style I figured the Switch would be the best way to keep it going. I will still likely play it on PS4 first but for any extra time I'll go with the Switch.
Final Fantasy IX is the classic PlayStation JRPG on the go. So this was only released digitally in the west (and a code in the box for Europe) so the only way to own it physically is in Asia, and thankfully the Asian release supports English. The remaster includes some quality of life improvements similar to
Final Fantasy VII to make the pacing better for modern players. There is supposedly a remake in the works but I don't think it'll be around for a while.
God Wars: The Complete Legend is an expanded version of
God Wars: Future Past which was released on the PlayStation 4 and Vita. I passed on the game initially but NIS America's publishing rights for the game alongside a couple other Kadokawa Games titles had expired, which meant this was now out of print and unavailable. The Switch version was still available and when I discovered that it was also a tactical RPG I decided to pick it up whilst stock were still available.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a collection covering the first three in the
Ace Attorney franchise originally released on Game Boy Advance (with the west discovering them on Nintendo DS); 2001's
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, 2002's
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, and 2004's
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. I also own this on PlayStation 4 but after some consideration and how the games were originally made for the portable platform I decided to support the franchise via the Switch versions moving forward.
