Talking Time curates September games: What are you anticipating? What's worth checking out?

A thread for examining the new games of September! Share your personal picks, interesting curios, and not quite there possibles...

Did you discover some small game that not everyone knows about?
Share that and let us know what it is about!

Already know a thing or two that interests you?
Make a list of your interests and/or possibles!

Don't know what's so great about an upcoming game you keep hearing about?
Ask here!

Don't follow gaming news that closely and just want to passively see what BigGames™ people care about?
This is the place!

Thread concept:
The basic idea is to list new games that you are interested in, as well as games you are potentially curious about or want to give wider attention to. You can briefly describe them or ask other people to help fill you in. The hope is that regular threads like these can act as a collective filter/discovery mechanism to help people decide what is worth checking out.

"New games" means any new title that is being released or ported this month in any capacity (not "backlogs/what you are playing this month"). The angle here is sharing your anticipation and promoting game discovery (as opposed to sharing comments about a first playthrough in progress - that belongs elsewhere).


  • If you want a handy list that covers most of the major upcoming games of the month, here's a few text lists of upcoming games:
    Feel free to post other lists or list videos that you find useful.

  • Final request: If you are the first person to mention a game please provide (at minimum) a short sentence description. (If it is a very big AAA release though, then don't worry about it.) This is a good convention that makes the thread more useful as a discovery mechanism, and especially helps out anyone who doesn't follow the news as closely as you.

I've already bought Crusader Kings 3, the dynasty-building strategy game in the Middle Ages. I'll be getting to it once I've wrapped up Yakuza Kiwami 2.

Other than that, I don't see much coming out this month that interests me.

Apparently Serious Sam 4 is out on the 24th. What the heck! I love the Serious Sam series. It's the dumbest and purest shooter of them all, and it's amazing in co-op. The gimmick this time around seems to be that the levels are large enough that you can ride around on a motorcycle to get around. The marketing seems to suggest they're addressing the biggest complaint from Serious Sam 3, which is that it takes too long to get to the good stuff (fighting giant hordes of monsters).

Mario 3D All Stars is coming on the 18th with 64, Sunshine and Galaxy in tow. Up-rezzed graphics, 16:9 and a music player are confirmed, and it seems Galaxy requires joy-cons (unsurprisingly). It's a limited release both physically and digitally (til March 2021) so I figured I'd just go for it. October is going to be a light month for me jesus christ.

One Nintendo presentation later and suddenly this post from less than 24 hours ago is very outdated.

I will get the 3D Mario collection

As a Vanillaware fan 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim would have been a day one purchase if I had a PS4, however I'm trying to be a bit more frugal in my purchasing habits this year and I don't see any reason in purchasing a game I can't play so this will be their first title that I'll be skipping. It's disappointing that the Vita version was scrapped, but I'm hoping that similar to Catherine: Full Body there will be a Switch port of this and other Vanillaware games later on.

September would have been a backlog month if not for Super Mario 3D All-Stars. As I said in the Anniversary thread I've never played 64 or Sunshine so it's exciting to finally play them both and in a portable format too.

I have pre-ordered/pre-loaded Minoria on my Switch. Being a fan of Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight made me want to play this spiritual successor on my console, despite already having it on Steam.
