They can price however they want, and it isn't unprecedented. Vita downloads are the same price (though it is nice that you get the manual with the software). And Steam, sales aside, is the same. If you want Modern Warfare 3 or Skyrim, these will run you $59.99 on Steam, though they'll probably randomly go on sale for like 40% off at some random time or another.

What irks me here is that...he didn't really address it. The response to "there are less inherent costs in digital releases as opposed to physical ones" deserves an explanation. Not some random mumbling about "some people price lower, some price the same, life's all about options right?" I'd respect it more if he said "look, there's server costs and bandwidth to maintain which mirrors the costs of producing a physical disc." One, it is true. Two, it doesnt smell like spineless BS.

This is a tricky proposition for me. I do not enjoy this game very much. Not that it is terrible but...OK in what universe am I going to put down DoS, PoR, OoE, or Drac X Chronicles (just keeping it portable) to play THIS. On the other hand, they are testing the waters...so I'll probably buy it. Why? The next two GB games I DO enjoy somewhat, and I would also love it if they get around to putting GBA titles in the store. Circle of the Moon was my first GBA game and would be a day 1 download for me.

Very glad to see this!

Too bad it wasnt designed with Circle Pad Pro support as an option. It looks like from screens (and control complaints) that it REALLY wants to be a dual stick shooter. Like that one series on Xbox Live (I think its just called Zombie Apocalypse or something), or Dead Ops Arcade in CoD: Black Ops.

Rare's best post Microsoft purchase title was the Conker remake lol
And most Conker fans prefer the original

I want the Circle Pad Pro because it is removable. I was thinking of holding off on a redesign, then I realized that centering the unit with two analogue sticks would require an XL-sized unit. Which really cuts down on the portability. There's a reason why my gaming unit of choice is this and not the upcoming Vita lol

Shiryu, this is actually a remake of AC2 (which I think rocks). So the Nagase/Edge in this game is actually the original Edge from AC2 who shares the same name with the AC 5 character (and another character from AC 4 lol).

One thing that I think is funny is how many reviews take issue with the lack of multiplayer. While a fun multiplayer mode in general would be cool, I don't see it as a detriment to Ace Combat. First off, the game this one is based on had no multiplayer (AC 2). Second... MOST Ace Combat games don't have mutltiplayer. I think just the two current-gen console titles, the second PSP game, and a local split screen versus mode in Ace Combat Zero right? Someone correct me if I left something out. But really, AC6 is the only one I spent quality multiplayer time with, so I'd say the vast majority of my time with this franchise is spent on single player. I'd go so far as to say it is why I play the games- the flight combat and story. Multi is just icing on the cake, if it happens to be there.
