It's a tricky one, but I don't think The Orange Box should count as a single game, it's a compilation, with full games that came out prior to 2007, DLCs, etc. of very different genres.
Portal and Team Fortress 2 both deserve to be considered individually, especially since some people may have played them outside of The Orange Box, so the votes could end up being split if we allow The Orange Box to be eligible.
Wow there were TWO Phoenix Wright games released in the same year?? That's gonna be painful :(
@brannox I have no problem with that either, it's entirely up to you :)
@Shoulderguy Thanks for starting this!
I was so ready to subscribe just for the N64 games, but I won't at this price. I don't own Animal Crossing so the DLC has no value to me.
Maybe a year from now when the N64 library really is significant.
Odd choice from Nintendo, they'll never stop surprising us.
Sonic.
2D or 3D, I just never enjoyed any of them, even the "good ones".
I hate how Sonic controls, and the level design is just not enjoyable to me: when it goes fast, it feels like you're on rails, when it goes slow, it's a drag through bad, imprecise platforming sections.
I gave Sonic Mania a shot a couple months ago and bounced off it after the first world.
I will never understand what people like about those games, to me they're among the worst platformers I've ever played.
Interesting, it's the second thread today by a new user that is an exact copy/paste of a reddit post in the EZA subreddit.
In this instance, see for yourselves: https://www.reddit.com/r/UneasyAlliance/comments/pwt3db/honestly_i_think_jason_would_make_an_amazing_9th
Some very clever bots? I don't understand the purpose of doing this though.

88 bitchezzzzzz, that's good stuff, can't wait for Friday!
There's a ton I'm at least curious about, but of course for me the main event of the month (and of the year) is Metroid Dread.
Otherwise, I'll be picking up FIFA 22, but only a few months from now when it's at least 50% off. Haven't played FIFA since FIFA 19 so I got the itch, should look sweet on PS5.
Mario Party Superstars is a lock too, probably will get it with the discount vouchers alongside Metroid.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania looks fun but might wait for a sale on that one too, I won't have time for it anytime soon.
Far Cry 6 and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are the other two I'm waiting for reviews on, but won't pick up at launch.
Not a very original choice, but there really isn't any other game I'm anticipating as much as this bad boy. I've been in media blackout since Nintendo started apparently spoiling the entire game across recent trailers, so all I know about the game is what was presented in its reveal.
It might end up not being great, I'm keeping my expectations in check, but a brand new Metroid game is such a rare occurence that I will savour it no matter what.
It feels almost unfair to pick this game, kicking it while it's down, but I'm so bummed that the series has never managed to recapture the highs of Until Dawn, and this new episode feels even more uninspired than Man of Medan and Little Hope.
