System: Switch
“Experience the Magical World like never before in Simon the Sorcerer Origins

Thirty years after his first appearance on the screen, Simon is drawn into a foreign world by an ancient prophecy, that will tell his origins.

I never knew of this series until this game. It looks interesting enough.
Space Chef
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 10-28
System: Switch
“Hunt, cook, and deliver cosmic cuisine to become the greatest chef in the nebula!
A three-course meal of an adventure: restaurant manager, light survival RPG, and life sim, all set in the zany universe of the Horseshoe Nebula.

Explore distant planets, derelict space stations, and your own basement for plants, critters, and other tasty morsels.”
I almost want to try this because it somewhat reminds me of (paid link) Overcooked in some way. Overall though, it’s a survival game which always catches my attention anymore.
Halloween 1985
Price: $4.99
Release Date: 10-29
System: Switch
“Face classic horror monsters and retrieve your stolen pumpkins in retro arcade style!
Step into the arcade-era thrill of Halloween 1985!When monsters steal Pumpkman’s pumpkins on Halloween night, it’s up to you to get them back!

Jump, dodge, and battle your way to their lairs, then take on the big boss in a final showdown!With 3 game modes, a retro chiptune soundtrack, and high-score chasing just like the golden age, this pixel-art platformer delivers fast-paced, nostalgic fun.”
This might be fun for a few minutes between other titles you’re playing. I’m not sure if I’ll be picking it up myself but it’s at least a curious game.
Cauldron
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 10-29
System: Switch
“Cauldron is an upgrade-heavy, minigame-centric, turn-based RPG.
Cauldron is a game about exploration, battling monsters, and leveling up your party through minigames. Gather resources to upgrade minigames, heroes, abilities, and more! Play as Nyx, a young witch cast into this darkness-covered world.

I was quite surprised to find this is a turn-based RPG. When I clicked it, I thought it would be another 2D game of some kind. Might have to keep my eye on it.
Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection
Price: $49.99
Release Date: 10-30
Systems: Switch & Switch 2
“Step into the arena and choose your fighter! Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection includes all the essential games from Mortal Kombat’s early years.

By using digitized humans as player sprites in an over-the-top, martial-arts fighter, the game thrilled players, shocked critics, and laid the foundation for a franchise that has thrived for more than 30 years.”
I’m not much of a Mortal Kombat fan but the games are fun to play every now and then. I might get this just due to the amount of games included. There is a (paid link) physical too, but it doesn’t release until December 12th. Same for the (paid link) Switch 2 version. Also worthy to note, the Switch 2 version is $10 more physically.
Dragon Quest I+II HD-2D Remake
Price: $59.99
Release Date: 10-30
Systems: Switch & Switch 2
“DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is a stunning reimagining of the first two legendary adventures in The Erdrick Trilogy, brought together in one package.

Amazon (paid link)
Here’s the (paid link) Switch 2 version if you want that. That’s the one I pre-ordered for myself. I’ve never given a Dragon Quest a serious chance so this is the perfect time for it.
Majogami
Price: $34.99 ($39.99 SW2)
Release Date: 10-30
Systems: Switch & Switch 2
“Paper craft character action! Majogami – the story of one girl who cuts gods like paper.

With her katana, “Kamikiri”, in hand, she travels through a bizarre world and cuts through the horrors she finds there in this 2D character action platformer.Players take control of Shiroha who can move and attack instantly with her “Setsuna” ability, taking out enemies without missing a beat.”
You can find the Switch 2 version here. I’m not sure how to feel about this yet other than being curious about it. I’ll have to see more gameplay before deciding if it’s something I would want to play or not.
7th Domain: Tree of Chaos
Price: $24.99
Release Date: 10-30
System: Switch
“Fight, Die, and Rise Again！Step into a world of Roguelike × Metroidvania, where thrilling combat meets endless loot-hunting.

The more I look at this, the more I think I want to give it a try. I’m all for a roguelike game, as you may know given some of my past game pickups. Also articles like this one or the reviews I’ve done for Army of Ruin & Vampire Survivors.
Kamla
Price: $12.99
Release Date: 10-30
System: Switch
“In this SURVIVAL HORROR, a priest, attempts to escape an old mansion by solving puzzles and completing objectives to cure a woman of her demonic possession.

I’m not sure about that price specifically but I think the game looks fun for the season. Especially since I am trying to play more horror games as part of my gaming goals for the year.
Greek Tragedy
Price: $15.99
Release Date: 10-30
System: Switch
“Greek Tragedy is a retro-styled indie survival horror game with puzzle elements. Help Amy keep her life on the college campus overrun by cultists and maybe save her relationship in the process. Nostalgic 90s 3D aesthetics included.”
I had to take the above link from a different version of the eshop than the NA one. For some reason, that version just wouldn’t pop up, despite actually being available in the NA store if you look on a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 system.
I think this looks pretty nice for a retro throwback title. I’m definitely wanting to give it a try, but I’ll be waiting for a discount.
Hannah
Price: $19.99
Release Date: 10-30
System: Switch
“A surreal 3D platformer about childhood trauma, 80s-inspired horror, and broken memories.
Hannah is a surreal 3D platformer about childhood trauma, 80s-inspired horror, and broken memories.

I’m not all too sure what to think of it yet. Given that Little Nightmares III just released, I figured most people would be playing it on either their (paid links) Switch or Switch 2 systems. It looks similar by design so who’s to say if it’s just a clone or if it perhaps has a personality of its own.
Tales of Xillia: Remastered
Price: $39.99
Release Date: 10-31
System: Switch
“Experience Tales of Xillia, remastered for the first time ever. Dive into the magnificent world of Rieze Maxia as either Jude Mathis, an aspiring medical student from the capital, or Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman accompanied by four powerful spirits.

Determined to stop the destruction and restore balance, Milla and Jude embark on a daring quest to destroy the device and save their world.”
Amazon (paid link)
I was going to wait on this until later but decided to go ahead since I do like certain entries in the series, such as (paid link) Tales of Berseria.
Mina the Hollower
Price: Unknown
Release Date: 10-31
Systems: Switch & Switch 2
“A bone-chilling 8-bit action adventure, refined for the modern era.
Descend into a frightful world of action-adventure in Mina the Hollower. Take control of Mina, a renowned Hollower hurtled into a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a price for this yet. I’m sure it will pop up soon as we aren’t far away from the release. I thought this looked intriguing and old school when it was announced. If you want the Switch 2 version, here it is.
