But then it was over, seemingly for good. This week marks the 10th anniversary of a series' death knell, one that I absolutely adored when it went silent for nearly 20 years only to be elated when it came roaring back with multiple high-profile releases. It doesn't matter how busy I am, and it doesn't matter if I am underemployed if I see a new Castlevania or Metroid or King of Fighters appear on the timeline, I'm going to need more information and a release date-and it had better be soon.

I feel like we could all benefit from a temporary freeze of new releases, say… two years? Would anyone run out of games to play if games stopped coming out for that long? Probably not.Īt the same time, there remain a few series of games that make instantly curious whenever they appear on the radar.

I own more than I could ever play, yet I maintain a wishlist on every service that offers that option, and I continue to buy more and more of them as time passes. The recent (ongoing) pandemic has made me consider my relationship with video games, specifically the sheer number of video games available to me at any time.
