I haven't really gotten into a Monkey Ball game since the first one on the GameCube but I've heard this one is very good. It's wild—but cool—the work they put into these mini games.
One day I will get around to playing Valkyria Chronicles! It will happen!
"I found out I own the digital version on Xbox 360. Who can keep track of all these digital games?" And this is why I go through the bother of maintaining my Backloggery account 
I am one of those peole that does not like Super Paper Mario. I think the combination of RPG and 2D platforming—at least the way it's done in this game—waters down both aspects. It's hard to remember specifics because it has been the better part of 20 years since I played it. I do hope you will enjoy it. I'm sure the writing was good, at least.
Prof. Layton is one of those low-key regrets for me. If I had ever tried any of the games, I bet I would have liked it...but I never did.
Looks like you have been revisiting a lot of classics! Still Wakes the Deep does sound like a cool game.
And I just played Rayman Legends last year! That team needs free reign more often.
I really *dug* SteamWorld Dig (haha!) and the sequel is supposed to be better in every way, so I am looking forward to it! I love how varied the SteamWorld series of games is
I am very curious how Live A Live will come together at the end. The settings and stories are wildly different, of course, but the battle system hasn't really had a chance to develop much. That's my main gripe. Certainly can't complain about the music!
Hmm, I'm not always the biggest fan of freely exploring, depending on how it's done. I wonder how I will like Tunic...assuming I actually get around to playing it!
Nobody did BaD this year. It was, well, sad.
