Not a good sign at all

Gosh...
Better I must really careful with my Micro SD card size.
Anyway, I will get the game on Switch no matter what.

.....Seriously?.....-.-
What even is the point of buying it physically? At least with XCX it was optional.

@Portal_King
I still curious about Disguise custom for Switch version.
If only we can customize the disguise with exactly all the disguise part (Geez... I couldn't use Boxing glove for my custom disguise, it only appeared from full set of Boxer disguise but I couldn't use the boxing gloves hand only for my custom disguise)
If Switch version allowed us to custom our disguise with ALL disguise part, that means I CAN create my own LEGO Boxer, and hopefully there is a Color swap Options also so we can recolor the disguise part as we like.

i'll be getting the PC version anyway. but, wow that's really bad for anybody who wanted on the switch

Welcome to modern gaming

By the way this is why 3rd party is terrible on Nintendo's home consoles, they're lazy. Then say that their games never sell on Nintendo's systems so they stop making games at all for them.

Right, a MicroSD card is a must then clearly...

For anyone looking to buy one - Digital Foundry did some tests and found that the Switch doesn't take advantage of the extra performance of a memory card with a high read/write speed - so, if it comes down to a choice between a faster card and a card with a higher capacity, go with the higher capacity card (min. UHS1)

@NaviAndMii That is a shame. The only way I could see having a game split up between 2 locations is for load balancing to speed up load times. If they are not even utilizing the card yet then that idea is out the window.

@Rob_mc_1 The internal memory was found to be quickest, MicroSD wasn't far behind (but there was no real difference between an average and a fast card) - both were faster than the cartridge though - so maybe it still could be for that reason..?

@NaviAndMii Well the load time was horrible on the Wii U. It wouldn't be hard to time between different storage locations between Physical and digital. hopefully they will look into that when they do the reveiw.

It's possible the extra space is for DLC. I wouldn't be unhappy if they ported over The Chase Begins.

But that's not important, what is important is which set would I like to get with the game:

I'm leaning towards the seaplane, it looks the most detailed

@Rob_mc_1
Little question.
I wonder if Switch version will offer more complete custom disguise as far my experience from Wii U version, I couldn't put a Boxing gloves for my custom disguise unless if chose Boxer full set disguise to reveal Boxing gloves. Just need a clarification about that before I buy Switch version.

If that ends up being true, I hope everyone will join me in not buying it.

They obviously are thinking about trying to save money on manufacturing the retail version.

Won't save any money when no-one buys it.

It is interesting how the strategy for some 3rd party games on Nintendo seems to be "Let's save a buck to make sure we sell less of our product, the main way of getting back money on our product".

Y'know, unless its a complete acknowledgement that they don't ever want to ship more than their initial stock. Which is...an odd thing to do for such a successful franchise. Even if it is a re-release.

I will be getting this for one reason only: Multiplayer. Another thing is does anybody know if the game uses just the two joycons for two players or does each player need two joycons, because if so I don't know if I'm down to spend $80 on a controller...

@Dezzy Nah dude I'm buying.

WOW. So this instantly went from being a day one buy to a "no way in hell". There's no way that I'll support this crap. I didn't support it on Wii U due to long load times, but I'd sooner buy that (and I won't) over this. If Nintendo ever tries to pull this with any of their own games, then woe is them. Why are they even allowing WB to get away with this?!

I mean, it's not as if they're not charging a full $90 (!!!) for this in Australia (meanwhile, the Wii U version is available for $20).

Even more ridiculous and obscene is the fact that they've opted to use an 8GB cartridge. Considering that the game is unplayable without a mandatory download, what difference does the size of the cartridge make at this point? They may as well have cheaped out entirely and stuck to using a 1GB cartridge (or even less than that, if Nintendo can manufacture cards under 1GB, which wouldn't be too bad an idea for retail titles that require less space). I get that cartridges are more expensive, but server costs aren't free either.

Without the ability to play off the cartridge, there's no point in supporting the physical retail release. Sure, I suppose I can still use the cartridge on multiple consoles, but that would still necessitate additional 13GB+ downloads. Ugh. This is infuriating.

And is it completely out of the question for Nintendo to reduce their licensing fees (at least where physical retail releases are concerned) in order to subsidise the higher costs of manufacturing?

@Anti-Matter, I have no Idea on the content. I would hope they add more or improve on it. There needs to be a reason to make me want to buy it again. I'm still going to see what they will add to it first.
