Well, this turned out to be a true challenge to make, but I put together 57 indie metroidvania games that I'm really looking forward to, all of which are coming to PC and Nintendo Switch, with a lot of them arriving on PlayStation and Xbox as well!

I created a massive video that contains footage of the games, along with my commentary, which you can watch by following this link: https://youtu.be/7YdUf6iKhjk

For those who do not wish to watch the video, I cover the below titles. Now, those of you who know me are aware that I always do write-ups, but these are 57 games we're talking about, so you will forgive me this once if I just add the game titles with Steam links :D

And that is all!

I hope this list was useful to you!

Also, I'm curious to hear about your own most anticipated metroidvanias, so feel free to mention them! Bonus points if they're not on this list, in case I missed something (like WOLFHOUND, which announced console releases yesterday, but the video was already made T_T)

Everything has been tested and works properly except where noted! Most items listed below have been cleaned when I acquired them. Additional pics/timestamps available on request. Forgive me if I'm slow to respond, I'll do my best to get back to any comments in a timely manner. The person with lower rep sends first. Willing to add/accept PayPal to fill in any gaps in value, especially for my higher priority wants.

Switch

• Monster Hunter Rise (CIB, includes steel book)
• Monster Hunter Rise Pro Controller
• ExtremeRate "SwitchCube" Pro Controller Shell
  • shell is used but includes all original pieces and extra buttons/screws
  • shell only: Switch Pro Controller not included
• VORI Black Foam Carrying Case
  • includes strap, case is better for stationary storage than transportation though

Wii

• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (disc and box)
• Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (CIB)
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl (CIB)
• Mario Party 9 (CIB)
• Fortune Street (CIB)
• OEM White Wiimote #1

  • 4th LED does not work, speaker has low/spotty volume, rumble has slight click to it
  • all buttons and motion control work fine
  • completely disassembled and cleaned
• OEM White Wiimote #2
  • fair condition, plenty of yellowing and heavier scratches
  • rumble is very light, but all buttons and motion controls work fine
  • completely disassembled and cleaned
• OEM Pink Wiimote
  • good condition, light scratches
  • speaker seems spotty but works, all buttons and motion controll work fine
  • completely disassembled and cleaned
• PDP BOSS (Big Oversized Super Shell) Wiimote Shells
  • one of each: Blue, Green, and Yellow
  • well used by previous owners, completely dissassembled and cleaned, labels/seals have holes in them in order to access screws during cleaning

GameCube

• Luigi's Mansion (CIB, PC)
• Super Mario Sunshine (CIB, PC)
• OEM Black GameCube Controller
  • T3 revision with plastic stickboxes

  • C-stick rubber is coming loose, one screw missing

  • very light scuffs on bottom of controllers

Nintendo 3/DS

• New Super Mario Bros 2 Golden Edition 3DS XL (SOLD)
  • includes stylus, 2gb SD card, and charger: no box included
  • good condition, front has very few scratches, back has more noticable scratches, battery has slight bloat, screens are in fantastic condition
  • doesn't seem to read regular DS games well, this is a known issue with some 3DS models and thinner DS cartridges and can be worked around a few ways, no issues reading/playing 3DS games
  • does not appear to be modded
  • hinges and buttons all in great condition
• Pokemon Sun & Moon Edition New 3DS XL
  • FOR PARTS/NOT WORKING (read below for full description), console only: no stylus, charger, or box included
  • device has many light scratches on both sides, missing rubber covers for top inner screen
  • not sure if TN/IPS on either screen
  • I hate to give up on this beauty, but maybe someone else will have better luck. I purchased this device from a member of r/gamesale in a non-working state and I was unable to fix it. When I received it, it was basically filled with dried soda (lol go figure). I took it apart and cleaned the system to the best of my abilites but it still did not work after putting it back together. (Side note, it could probably use some further cleaning as I'm noticing spots I missed) It's been about a year since I worked on it, I have not properly tested all of the boards/connections and I do not intend on taking this device apart again as I discovered New 3DS's are my least favorite handhelds to work on! You may have seen my previous r/gamesale posts asking for a working battery for the 3DS XL family: that was for this console. I finally received another working 3DS XL so that I could test this one: no dice. I did find out that the battery in this device works just fine, it was only out of charge. The orange light stays on for a few seconds when a charger is plugged in, but this doesn't change with or without a battery in the device. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them!

Free replacement battery included to be safe but the voltage on the original battery reads 3.1v so it should be good to go for a while longer.

'In a world still recovering from catastrophe, Mark Borja and his friends navigate the joys and woes of another year of high school. Wake up in a typical teenage bedroom, practice piano, race to meet homework deadlines, and build (and burn) relationships, as you reminisce about the daily insecurities of high school life. That is, until a fateful meeting sets off a chain reaction, upending Mark's life. People disappear and memories prove unreliable. Uncover a hidden truth with Mark and his friends in this narrative adventure and race to unravel the mystery before it's too late.'
