Using the overdone and overrated pile of garbage that Fire Emblem has become (since the 3DS, it's been a lot) as the thumbnail for this just feels like the gaming industry wants ONLY super well established titles to succeed.
Fortune's Weave isn't even a top 5 game for me in September and if SOMEHOW Ocarina remake drops in September, then it's not even top 10.
Remember when IGN was glazing Isnotreal? I memberrrrrr
When did hack n' slay become "not souls-like" ?
why did you skip over moonlighter 1.0 release , its on game pass too
My birthday month about to have so many insane releases wtf I didn't know about 90% of these til now
Thank you for the info! Have a restful night!
4/10 ign too many games
Garfield escape from Monday GOTY
The scripting in these videos always makes me laugh and smile, keep it up folks 👏
Another fantastic video! Especially considering the crunch you're under. Great job everyone!
Right to jail
I never preorder games…BUT…I'd preorder Lies of G instantly
great
Now this guy is putting time stamps on but timestamps which you cant use… hillarious.
Don’t forget about Crimson Moon coming out next week! Very excited for that one
Hahahaha Lies of G 😅 Love the Editors ❤
After seeing that video with Max promoting a deck builder, I kind of want to see an IGN list of the best games IGN alumni worked on. SO to Mitch Dyer's Jedi Fallen Order, Colin Moriarty's Saint Slayer, Alanah Pearce's Laufey, Goldfarb's Sucker Punch games, Dornbush's TLOU, and whatever Rev. Jared Petty worked on at EA.
Love these videos. My primary source for finding games to play 😀
i saw how you reviewed black myth wukong , that ship has sailed 00:50
Dawnwalker I'm waiting to hear impressions and reviews on. Control Resonant I'm in no matter what.
Giving strong Ace Ventura vibes, Max 😎
DawnWalker and Marathon season 3 are my sept games.
Onimusha ?
Pre ordered nhl27 wolverine ams fc 27 big month
Letterkenny reference and cold open <3
Silent Hill: The Room did have some first person sections (in the room).
idk why the industry keeps releasing the best games during the start of school
Jail
You guys forgot Valheim 1.0 drops Sept 9th. If you include Runescape leaving early access, this one should get recognition too.
You forgot 2k27 nba !
you forgot Dragon Quest XI S Definitive Edition for Switch 2 – Sept 24
Suprised no one is talking about aniimo 🤔
No Valheim?
Might b one of the best month preview episodes ever!😂
Silent Hill Townfall is the only semi-interesting game This month, August was better: Aliens fireteam 2, Gallipoli, Madden 27, Stalker 2 DLC
nice hairstyle bro. You look like JasoN. I see what you did there
SKY 2ND CHAPTER MENTIONED LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! 🙏🥰
Ah yes very excited to see more reveal of the most overhyped & overrated game in history – GTA6 🤣
Control!!! Only one more month of waiting!!
Stack and Deploy looks sick
I would play a Garfield Soulslike.
Dude, how'd ya'll miss Crimson Moon and Wheel Mates???
These A.i. videos are getting out of hand
its finally here! the sacred "September of 2026" is upon us gentlemen!!! dude gamers have been waiting for this money for the better part of a year hahahahaha…
Also valheim 1.0 release also comes to ps5 finally
Strong Max Vercetti vibes on this one.
Glad he knows we are sick of souls like as he is tired of hearing about us complain about it
Orbitals just on Switch 2 ? A co op game that could run on the Switch ? I doubt that game will sell alot of Switch 2's so I ask Why Nintendo to make it sell less copies overall ?
fire emblem???
Super excited for DUO QUEST!! WOOOO
