It came out about a month ago but everyone should get onto Wandersong immediately if you haven't. That one's a banger. Its not an rpg, but it definitely scratches that Paper Mario itch.

Wandersong literally had me crying happy tears at the ending. When the music and the gameplay and the plot all harmonized like that, it was an amazing experience.

The Wii has such a large install base and it probably costs peanuts to make and the kind of people buying Just Dance on the Wii are probably the people who buy all the shovelware games on the Wii and never even heard of a Switch or WiiU. So it makes sense to me, someone who has zero interest in dance games and is trying not to come off condescending and failing horrendously.

It was $50 when it came out on PS4 2 years ago, it's just because it's been out for 2 years there and the price has dropped. This isn't a new or unusual thing.
