If...

Hm, am I sneakily stealing credit from someone else, just shoving my name in there despite it being known that I've done nothing, or have I contributed something to a game? I'd not like to take credit where credit isn't due. However I'd be very happy if I'd been the composer for SMG or Tropical Freeze and come up with those blinders.

Repton 1 (PC/Android). I'll swap my name...

with my own name

Not just cool, folks - cool to the power 22. That's seriously [EXPLETIVE DELETED] cool.

I want my name in the Link to the Past credits. Nothing flashy - QA would be fine.

IF you could port any game from history for the Nintendo Switch, what would it be? And why, if you want?

It's a boring answer, but Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. Let me play the best Fire Emblem game on the go and I will love you forever.

You would think from history, I would go way back but nope I'm going back to 2016 as I would absolutely love a port of Overwatch.

I think the series really would suit the system with it's colourful cast of characters, being a FPS which you do shoot each other but that's never the goal a little bit like Splatoon in that regard also it would be great if their could be some sort of tie-in with Mercy getting a Zelda, D.VA Samus, Mcreee getting Fox costumes for instance.

They need to get a Football Manager game on Switch. There are versions already on Mobile and Tablet formats, but to be able to play the full PC game on a tablet (which the Switch is more than capable of) would be the dream for many football fans.

Personally though, I'd want a PES on there. It's the primary reason I have a PS4 but considering FIFA is going to be on Switch I'm not sure Konami will bother. Even if it's a port of the 360/PS3 version, to be able to play it anywhere is a big deal.

Another boring answer: Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Door. Because it's been a good while now, and nothing has come close to achieving what it did. Only caveat is, it could probably do with more frequent save points if it's on the go (see BotW).

I've long fancied an update to Secret of Mana that would refine the rough edges and feature a new translation.

Can it be a game that's in the future? I want Dynasty Warriors 9 to come to Switch, whenever it happens.

I suppose future history is history.

...do you even need to ask?

I mean, it's a game about history...

Hmmm... good question... because it sort-of bypasses the Virtual Console.
I would've said ESIV Oblivion, and, apart from the technology, it's a more interesting game than Skyrim - however Breath of the Wild kind of makes it redundant! I might've said Paper Mario TTYD, but Balla's already on the case . I'm-a-go leftfield and say Microprose Grand Prix. F1 was more interesting in the early 90s, and graphics aside it still plays good. Being able to stop-start a 100% length racing season on the go would be great.

Rocket League, it's so easy to play on a whim, that'd be even better on the Switch.

IF you could make yourself the player character of a game, which game would it be? Paper Balla: The Thousand-Year Door? The World Ends With Jay? Drunk Souls?

Ooh, some questions for this one - would you experience the game yourself, like a Matrix style situation? Or would you just be playing as yourself in a game of your choosing?

A lot of games, including the Dark Souls you mentioned, allow you to create yourself in game anyway. With a lot of games like that, Pokémon and Monster Hunter especially, I associate very strongly with my character as it is, to the point of regularly daydreaming about pulling out a pokéball or my longsword to deal with an encroaching beastie. Adding to that my preference for playing as a redheaded female named Lilly in a lot of games, and I had to ask myself some serious questions . . .

Going back to Zero's question, I would like to wake up tomorrow and discover I was Marcus Feenix.

Jay brings up some interesting points as if I replaced or became Solid Snake for instance, do I really want to deal with all that if real. That I would just replace the character on Gone Home for instance.

Gone Home is kinda spooky though... I don't think I'd enjoy wandering about an abandoned house.

To answer the question, if I'm entering the game physically then I think I'd go for something tame. As boring as it was to play, I'll pick Dear Esther as I think a pleasant walk with some picturesque scenery would be a fun old time.

If I get to play as myself, then I'd definitely go a bit more outlandish. At the risk of being obvious, I'm going to pick The World Ends With You. I'd definitely get a kick out of seeing myself whirl about a screen firing lightning bolts out of my hand.

I intended the latter, so you would be controlling yourself, running around Shibuya, fighting Noise and collecting pins. But either or!

If I wake up as myself, Pokémon. Because obviously. If I wake up as the hero, Kirby: can effectively fly, gets to pilot giant robots, and easy enough that my fear of dying would be somewhat assuaged.

The house isn't abandoned, just no one is home when you get back from your travels abroad.

If I was playing as myself, I guess something like Persona.

If I'm playing as myself, Leisure Suit Larry or Mass Effect.
