(Have to enter them into the coordination spreadsheet!)

Assemble with Care: Joseph, Izzy, Carmen, Helena.
Hoping for Joseph and Izzy missing scenes, though I'll happily also take Carmen and Helena rediscovering their sibling bonds. (These are the four people that Maria, the protagonist, helps in the game.) Also this is a quick game that someone can pick up quickly and write for me.

Cozy Grove: Patrice, Ursula.
It's no secret I adore these two bear spirits and their stories, and I keep hoping I'll get fic for them.

Fantasy Life (3ds): Worldbuilding, Madame Purl, Taylor, Chic.
I want Tailor Life fic! Also, worldbuilding, especially now that we have the distant land of Mysteria that's greatly implied to be reachable by ship.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl who Steals Time: Worldbuilding, Mira, Chemmel, Monsieur Cobra.
Worldbuilding for this one as well (I want some fic about the various islands and their inhabitants), along with Mira and her boss Chemmel. I also tossed in Monsieur Cobra, aka the nonhostile King Cobra who gives you a quest in Ginormosia and hangs about after. Yes, I want fic about a minor NPC, especially since he seems to have a history with Anne.

My Time at Sandrock: Worldbuilding, Heidi, Trudy, Email.
I realize that Email is only mentioned (though she appeared in some early Multiplayer betas) in the main game, but she's still a known character and I think it would be interesting to have fic for her. No great loss if she isn't approved, however. Heidi and Trudy are my favorite MTaS characters and this is likely the last year this game will be eligible - it's at 885 fics after filters. (I may or may not keep Email nominated; Trudy, Heidi, and Worldbuilding are definite, though.)

ETA: I dropped Email on this. I am asking for Heidi and Trudy on my letter. I also dropped worldbuilding since I realized I'm mostly interested in Heidi or Trudy-centric fic.

I've got mixed feelings about the two Fantasy Life games being merged if it comes up. On one hand, they do take place in the same universe/on the same planet, as evidenced by the buddies, the references, and the random Castele paladins at spoiler locations ). But on the other hand, I'm worried that someone only familiar with the newer game will be very confused by prompts set in Castele or Port Puerto. A lot of people tag both games for newer game-set fic.

... You know what? If it comes up I'll just record all the NA Tailor dialogue for Taylor/Purl/Chic(/Zippy/Spoolie) onto my Dreamwidth if it comes down to it, and go for Taylor, Monsieur Cobra, Worldbuilding, and Mira (alternatively, Chemmel or Purl).

Yaaaay!

estirose: An image of a ghostly girl holding a living hand (Crumbling Sae - Project Zero II)

With everything going on in the world, I missed an announcement that was in the Nintendo Direct!

Fatal Frame II remake! The costumes look different, but I think it's at least taking some cues from Deep Crimson Butterfly, which along with Fatal Frame IV and V was (re-)released on some form of the Wii (and therefore easier to bring to modern devices). And again, it is not Switch-exclusive.

I'm hoping they ditch the ghost hand mechanic that really was annoying in Deep Crimson Butterfly (and IV, and V). It's the only bit of the game I really didn't enjoy.

Oooh, they seem to have added the ability to run, something that didn't appear until Fatal Frame V... before that, the fastest any of our protagonists moved was maybe a very slow jog.
