I’m currently scraping the Steam barrel and I could really use these ports:
Gravity Rush Remastered/Gravity Rush 2: best traversal in gaming. Surprisingly fun combat too. Just pure joy all around.
Viewtiful Joe: integral Kamiya core and probably the closest on this list to actually happening seeing the Clover revival.
God Hand: I have nothing new to add here. All I can do is reiterate the “beat’em goat” claim.
The Red Star: PS2 hidden gem—mix of beat’em up and twin-stick shooter. Proper action game rooted in arcade design principles.
Ketsui: again, all I can do is reiterate the “shmup goat” claim. Criminal this is not on Steam. Come on, M2.
Alternate editions of games we already have on Steam:
Catherine: Full Body: extra stages is cool, but I need the online Colosseum.
Ninja Gaiden II: ugh, this one is obviously never happening at this point. I swear, even if they try a third time, they’ll most likely find some way to mess it up.
Definitely never happening: Pikmin. Nintendo suck.
Yeah, 18k games, but a lot of that is going to be shovelware. Steam has a big issue with shovelware designed to look like a good deal. They’ll release like 25 games, one will be priced at like $100, with the rest priced at like 50¢.
Then they do a publisher bundle, which marks all of those 50¢ games down by like 90%, but doesn’t touch the pricey game. So on the surface, the bundle is marked as like $100 for 25 games, at 87% off. Looks like a great deal. When in reality it’s just 24 cheap games marked down, and one super expensive game. And all of them will be shovelware. But it’ll be enough to fool anyone who doesn’t bother to dig into the actual bundle details.

That’s a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:

I was cursed with an extremely narrow taste in video games so there isn’t a lot for me out there in general.
