This month seems almost good. I'd like to play Galaxy some day, but I don't think that price point is gonna work for me.

I'd also be interested in Pokemon, but I bounced hard off Gen 7 and never tried one since as pretty much every Switch title seemed disappointing. This one is interesting, I think, but at the same time looked quite clunky and I don't have a Switch 2 yet to play it - I presume it won't play well on the Switch.

I would have preferred a lower price point for Galaxy games, but since I have never played them, I'll probably buy them at this price. Though not sure yet if I'll buy them this month or later.

I haven't checked too much footage, but I agree that Switch 1 footage for Pokémon looks a bit clunky. I am not a big Pokémon fan. Have just played Go Pikachu and Sword, and a 50-50 on if I should get Z-A, or wait for the next one, but I don't think I'll play them on Switch 1 anymore.

This is useful. Last table has a formatting problem, probably need another new line under the heading.

Thanks, fixed.

It was showing fine on web so didn't notice. Broken in mobile app though.
