Dragon Quest XI S is right up there with BotW on my list of favorite games of the 2010s. It's Dragon Quest at its most refined. 

I got Capcom Arcade Stadium on Switch. It has a lot of Capcom's arcade games from the 80s through the early 2000s, though it is by no means comprehensive. I mostly got it for games like 19xx games, Ghosts 'n' Goblins/Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, and rarer classics like Giga Wing. It includes two versions of Street Fighter (Hyper and Super Turbo), and even Cyberbots, but no Darkstalkers/Night Warriors games, unfortunately. 

3. "BEWARE, COWARD!" from Sinistar. That was when voice in computer and video games was a novelty. 

2. Aran Ryan's taunts from Punch-Out for the Wii. The series has always gotten taunting down pretty good, but they went over the top with Aran Ryan.

1. Kefka's laugh in Final Fantasy VI. One of the single most memorable sound effects in gaming.

Cage Match:

Gonna go with Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge, err, Mario Golf, here. Mario can run, but I've never seen Sonic play golf. I imagine that the ball would be in the parking lot when Sonic played.

They really tried to be ambitious on this one. Too bad it wasn't executed better. It was another example of a 1990s sequel, where game designers tried to do different stuff with limited success, as with Mario 2, Zelda 2, Ultima 2, Final Fantasy 2.

Capcom needs to bring this series to Switch. Maybe Platinum could do a game. So good. 

I had Trails in the Sky on PS Vita. I've been playing Cold Steel 3 on Switch off and on. I have all four Cold Steel games split betweeh PSV and Switch.

The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Bmore, and the Belmont Stakes on Long Island. 

The voice cast was great, too. Troy Baker was perfect as Yuri.

I knew they used the SoM engine for Evermore. It's kind of too bad that Square USA didn't go anywhere as a developer, with Square moving out of Redmond after their new alliance with Sony and their corresponding falling-out with Nintendo and all.

And I agree with you, Trials of Mana blew Secret of Mana out of the water. The latter is still a good game, to be sure, but Trials plays so much better it's not even funny. However, Cary made a great point about the translation. Ted Woolsey got 30 days to translate FF6, and he had to compress the story on top of that because Japanese could convey far more information with fewer characters than English.

The Outer Worlds is great. I got it on Switch. It actually runs better on Switch than people said it did.

I used to live a few miles from the Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, which is the home of the Preakness Stakes. 

I'm running into that with Phantasy Star IV. Some of its later dungeons are huge mazes. It generally doesn't have save points in them, either, thought the medium through which I am playing it (Sega Genesis Classics on Switch) does allow save states. I'm stuck on the Air Castle near the end.
