Valid contenders for me include DK Bananza, Split Fiction, and Pirate Yakuza. But I ultimately have to give it to Silksong
Not only did I adore it at least as much as the others, there's what it represents. An indie studio bowing to nobody allowed to make exactly what they wanted, sold for $20

That's just a very funny sentiment to me
Every Xbox Game Studios release on PS or Switch consoles, discounting ones that were obviously going to be multiplat from the start (Call of Duty, Doom, Diablo, Tony Hawk, etc.)

Only marginally related, I'd also say it's easier, for me at least, to think of major series that got exclusive PS4/XB1 releases that still haven't got a PS5/Series release, than the other way around, tho obviously this doesn't take into account IP that started on new hardware, or smaller IP

Shown here is a similar chart for other "AAA" series I could think of that relatively consistently has one or two major releases per console, and as we see here, the results are similar, with over half of IP taking longer to come to PS5 than they did with PS4.

As you can see, in the majority of cases, IP stayed crossgen (releasing on both PS4 and PS5) longer than they did for PS3 and PS4, sometimes quite drastically so. Just Dance is a *fascinating* exception, likely tied to that series greater success on Nintendo hardware in comparison.

Look, I respect that his opinion is likely more valid than mine actually being in the industry, this?
Game companies have shown time and time again that they will do ANYTHING to pinch that last dime from your wallet and couldn't care less about staff. Sorry, that blind optimism just isn't it

Very very worth noting I think that the game appears to be shipping on a regular cartridge, not a key card

Yep, exactly as I expected. Fun, but difficult, shallow, and completely devoid of Nintendo charm. I am genuinely so glad I wasn't the only one who thought this game just lacked any style whatsoever, and clearly not enough substance
