October is here, and while there aren't quite as many notable games worth highlighting in our coverage of the month, what we've got here is a selection of bonafide bangers (well, hopefully).
Starting off with Spongebob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game on 4th October, it's not long until we get to revel in the delights of Neva, Super Mario Party: Jamboree, Yakuza Kiwami, and Sonic X Shadow Generations, to name but a few.
So without further ado, here's the full rundown of some of October's biggest releases:
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game - 4th October 2024

Europa - 11th October 2024

Neva - 15th October 2024

Super Mario Party Jamboree - 17th October 2024

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed - 18th October 2024

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven - 24th October 2024

Yakuza Kiwami - 24th October 2024

I have ALOT to buy this month..
And then on PS5:
Ys X for me. Everything else for October is a bunch of horror games on my backlog plus a return of my annual Luigi's Mansion foray.
I thought about picking up the Silent Hill 2 remake, but not before playing the original.
Only 9? Missing at least 11 games on Switch, and 1 on Mobile, that deserve a mention:
Sky Oceans (Skies of Arcade-like)
Crow Country
Wildermyth
YS X Nordics
F-Zero Climax (NSO)
F-Zero GP Legend (NSO)
Clock Tower Rewind
Amber Isle
Date Everything
Core Keeper
Broken Sword - Shadows Of The Templar's
Pokemon TCG Pocket
Only Mario Party from that lot, and Yakuza when a physical release surfaces.
I'm definitely picking up Ys X and I'll probably pick up Yakuza Kiwami, idk if I'm gonna get Super Mario Party Jamboree because the focus on side modes doesn't inspire confidence in me, I need to see how Sonic X Shadow Generations runs on Switch before I decide if I want to pick it up
Outside of this list the other things I'm getting are Card-en-Ciel, ASTLIBRA Gaiden and Blasphemous II: Mea Culpa DLC
Honestly the one I'm most excited for isn't even mentioned, the Switch port of Slay the Princess.
Also looking forward to Mario Party though.
@Folkloner Yes, there are several other games that will no doubt be worth picking up, but this is ultimately Felix's video and Felix's picks
Definitely most looking forward to Ys X: Nordics. Was a bit worried I'd got the release date wrong as it wasn't featured here, looked in Nintendo Life's "Coming Soon" section and it wasn't there either!
But happily it is coming on the 25th of October!
I'd buy Shadow Generations but most of my money is going into Plamo kits this past year. So I suppose I'll have to wait til black friday when the toystore puts the game on half off
Getting Yakuza day 1 to vote with my wallet.
Blazing Strike! After all these years of delays... It's still kinda unbelievable that the game finally will be released, lol.
Glad I'm far from the only one looking forward to Ys X: Nordics later this month, going by the comments. Thanks to Zelda and a busy IRL schedule, my push to finish Ys Seven on PC before it launches isn't going well. I think I'm only about halfway through.
There are plenty of other fine games here, but I'll have to postpone grabbing them until later. Yakuza Kiwami is the most tempting from the rest, but it lost some of its appeal for me since it's digital only.
I loved the Europa demo and Neva looks beautiful so those are the ones I want most. I'm somewhat interested in Mario Party but worried that it will be too focused on multiplayer with family/friends so I'll wait for reviews.
@rainbowtick I just noticed my reply was very similar to yours 😅
This is such a busy month between all the games mentioned in the video/article and comments along with a couple more:
Mario Party and a handful of horror switch games for me this month. I'm more interested in Slay The Princess and that Faith game.
Loaded month, and I still haven't even picked up Zelda EoW
Yakuza Kiwami if it runs well so I can prove RGG that THEY ARE DEAD WRONG.
And Slay the Princess too.
I would buy these tho and maybe Metroid Prime
This is a no brainer for me and of course the game I’m playing is Super Mario Party Jamboree, it’s only 13 days away and I’m preordering the day before the game comes out, so that way I’ll be able to play it on the day it comes out, I’m really excited to play this game, I’m taking my time to play this game when it comes out, I’m so excited 😆😆😆🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥
Would add Nikoderiko: The Magical World to that list. If you like DK Country style games, it’ll be incredible! Can’t wait.
Hope any Yakuza newcomers enjoy Kiwami, and here's hoping the rest of the games come to the Switch/Switch 2!
Double trouble for me this October! First is Yakuza, I’m so excited to see it make its move to the Switch, day 1 for me.
Second is Shadow of the Damned Hella Remastered finally drops, looking forward to smashing through the demon horde with my man Garcia Hotspur.
Generations and Jamboree almost definite insta-downloads.
Yakuza, Europa, RS 2, TMNT need reviews. They may be purchased much later on even if positive due to finite games budget issues. We'll see.
@eaglesfly76 Forgot that Nikoderiko which is yet another game I'm definitely interested in is also coming out this month, thanks for the reminder!
@JohnnyMind You’re welcome!
what about Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut?
