Really hope you get a chance to play Arkanoid DS. It got a lot of bad reviews, but I really liked it. My favorite in the series.
One genre you might want to add if you feel like it are point and click adventures. Maybe.
When I played Patapon on PSP, I felt the demo of that game was better than the game itself.
So are you playing a demo of Ys IX or X? Ys X: Nordics is the new game out so I just wanted to know which one you are trying?
Waifu...isn't that what you hook your internet up to? :)
If you can find 8-bit Adventures 2 real cheap, I'd say get it. Rogue Sentry is not that great, though. I can think of a lot better twin stick shooters to play. Same thing goes with BlockBlast. I can think of a lot better games in that style. If you have an old DS, I'd highly recommend Arkanoid DS. The music in that game has no right to be that good for a game in that genre.
I don't really really get into games with that kind of relationship/dating mechanic. I'm horrible enough at that as it is in real life But your story reminds me of some of the things I experienced in the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory games.
In one of the Rune Factory games, Farmer Man Cary tried to woo a female knight because she was strong and tough and we could fight monsters together.
In one of the DS/3DS (can't remember) Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, Farmer Man Cay took a liking to the female blacksmith. She was a little asian lady though and didn't seem to fill the blacksmith type, but Farmer Man Cary didn't care. I THINK her name was Iroha in the game.
My favorite was from another Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game on the DS/3DS. She was a pretty and flirty writer named Iris, and Farmer Man Cary was smitten!
And those are all the ones I remember.
If they ever made Minecraft 2 you'd be in big trouble.
You're such a Plucky Squire!

But the clear winner was definitely Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Runbow was great, but it sure is hard!
I really liked Pokemon Legends: Arceus because it did things differently.
LEGO City: Undercover is one of the better LEGO games out there, surprisingly. Even though it's not tied to a specific license, It parodies everything from Starsky and Hutch to Shawshank Redemption!
This month my big game purchases were Ys X: Nordics and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
