Six Games Announced For Xbox Game Pass At Tokyo Game Show 2024

Would prefer the Mana Collection, but we're eating REALLY good today.

Ok cool trials of mana is still on my pick up list. Will play on gamepass until I snag it for switch.

Cool, will jump on these since Shadows of Doubt's Xbox port got an unspecified delay

Speaking of Game Pass drops, has there been any ideas or rumours about F1 Manager 2024 dropping at all soon?

As 23 randomly appeared (much to my happiness as I was coming close to paying for it) last year, it's made me wonder if 2024 will follow but I haven't seen any news or rumours to suggest so yet.

I would have thought doing it one year would make the next likely?

Trials of Mana is so good. People talk about how Animal Crossing was the game that got them through the early days of the pandemic, but for me it was Trials of Mana. (Not that I didn’t play copious amounts of Animal Crossing too.)

I love Katamari. I own both remasters on Switch but will probably play them here, too, because they are fun. So very fun

If I've never played a Mana game, is one of these better to start?

Very happy with the additions

The first Katamari was fun and have a distinct charm to it.

Yeah I was wondering where all these games came from when I looked at recently added titles. These all look fun. I may try WoM where as my wife is pumped for more Katamari.

@RentedPanda Trials is a fantastic game to get into the series on. It's expanding and experimenting with Secret of Mana's gameplay, but still faithful enough to see where the series came from and the direction it's going. The remake makes it even better.

Legends of Mana is a great game, and one of my favorites for the PSX, but it's very experimental and you need a guide to get the best ending. However, it's great fun to just mess around in, if you're not too focused on getting the single best ending, with its item creation, pet keeping, and Golem making systems.

Both are great entries in the series as a whole.

@AeonicB thanks for the tips, will give them a look, starting with Secret

I'd say for those hadn't heard of that were new they are pretty eh.

Fair Japanese IPs/remasters or otherwise to Xbox is good but otherwise eh.

Expansions sure.

Remasters of Star Craft is fair but why no console ports? Why not console sales instead of just PC sales. Unless for PC Gamepass as well why bother. Many fans will buy it sure, they hope for new fans sure but I mean don't they want more sales? Or the same sales and only few new from PC players? Or however it goes.

N64 had a version for it why not make it relevant to modern console players such an old game unless know of it in the past or the esports scene whenever it was relevant or if still is there?

I get StarCraft Ghost was cancelled but I mean that'd be cool if we got something like it again. I enjoyed The Outfit a part strategy part 3rd person game, it lacked in areas but in modern era something like it could work for console players or just strategy game ports to console.

The ports, sure great to have them on Xbox then not and anything else forgettable.

I hope Secret of Mana & Adventures of Mana come next...
