Again sorry in advance.

I just watched their press conference and I think they said va11 ha 11a and read only memories are vita exclusives. Also, night trap is July

I don't know if I got in on the first 5k copies of oceanhorn, but I've been praying that game would get a release physically. Feels kind of odd that it will be in my hands before any LRG games though.

Btw - I did see a few posts here regarding the PAL import of Bayonetta CE. Did we ever get a consensus as to exactly what a FACTORY BRAND NEW one of these, was supposed to look like???

@twelvestar

Japanese CE wasn’t sealed on the outter box. The PAL CE is sealed

Cool - thanks!!! Think I'm gonna dip my toe in slowly on the Bayonetta by looking for the PAL copy first, and eventually the Japanese (unless, of course, I see an offer I can't pass up!!)

What @MrCIB said is correct. I never found out more info on the version I got. I have a sneaky suspicion the games were opened and played and then resealed in aftermarket bags. The steel book is wrapped and the cards/stickers are wrapped, so my version is at least partially factory brand new. Just can't say for certain about the games. Stakes you play when dealing with scalpers, unfortunately.

Were you going to open it or keep it sealed? As far as I know, gold points can only be redeemed from a cart one time. If you can’t redeem them maybe you’ll know it’s been used? You’d have to do it from a Japanese eshop account I think.

At some point I plan on opening it and diving into the games, but I haven't yet. The external Bayonetta box wasn't taped, so I've "opened" it to verify everything was there, but that's as far as I've gotten. Good idea about checking out gold point redemption. I don't have a Japanese account, I'm assuming I would set it up the same way I set up my US account? Lol

MyNintendo is a joke though

Also...

How dare you even imply to bring in the blasphemy of a digital purchase through mynintendo into this holiest of holy sactums against the rising tide of degenerate digital games and the shackles that they shall weigh down upon us all?!?!?!

ahem...

Though it is good to know that even rewards are region free. I bought the UK special edition of Zelda Link between worlds, and it came with a code for Oracle of Ages, but it was region locked so I could never use it, and of course it had an expiration date.

I just found this game while searching through Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DP1375Z/ref=sr_1_31?s=videogames...
Crayola: Scoot.
Scooters. Colors. Looks to be styled after Splatoon.
No pre-orders open yet, but looks to be coming in October.

Also, is anyone else going for the complete international collection? All games, all regions?
I am attempting to do this, but am not sure if I have a complete list for the foreign releases. They are very difficult to keep up with! I have very few websites to use for non-US releases, and I can't be sure that those few are complete as no one website here in the states has every game listed. Any suggestions for websites for Japanese releases and European releases would be greatly appreciated!
For the record I am not doing CE/LE/SE games, unless I genuinely like the extra stuff. There are far too many games as it is.
My list of all current and future releases for the international library is at 301 titles so far. I have 87.

Another note: It seems that the Switch is not a family console any more, especially in Japan. The first adult game for the console is being released very soon for Japanese audiences: A Good Library Like A Good Shepherd. It's a full on hentai game with CG scenes and everything. On a Nintendo console. Oh how the times have changed.

Thumper was the music/rhythm game you missed... ...and for the record, it's an AWESOME music/rhythm game!

Btw -are you sure VA-11 HA11-A is coming to Switch? I thought that was a PS4 or Vita (or both) only...?

Speaking of unloading, I’m thinking about selling the CE extras from my LRG purchases. I can’t sell them new and complete because I still want the games and only bought the single CE copies. Surely someone would by the extra stuff, right?

I'm in the same spot (having only ordered the CE version) - I was considering unloading my CE and then purchasing a new "standard" version, for keeps. I think I'd still come out WAY ahead...

Edit: I'm speaking specifically of Thimbleweed.

Not trying to stray from the topic or start anything, but I wonder how this Net Neutrality deal from yesterday will affect us gamers/collectors in NA? I can see buying online games being an issue.

As long as the game resides in the eShop you can collect gold coins on the physical title no matter the region. I have confirmed this as I have some Japanese imports I have collected coins on (I am Setsuna, Neo Atlas) as well as EU releases that I have collected gold coins on. I reside in the USA and am only connected to a USA eShop account.

A few games however did give me the message that the coins "could not be collected YET", which is odd. Some others told me it was too late to collect them....as I believe you only have one year from the date of the release to collect on them.

Fun fact is that the card itself actually gets written to when you collect on the gold coins. I have confirmed this a few times with multiple copies of the same game. If the actual cart was never collected on it will work for you that one time.

Fair enough. Thanks for the correction!

I tried to redeem points with Bayonetta, but got the “cannot be collected yet” message and just assumed it was a region thing after redeeming from my Japanese account.

Less than two hours until the Nintendo E3 Direct. My wallet is ready for the onslaught of releases. With an expected run time of 45 minutes, I assume Smash Bros. will open the Direct, and run about five minutes. But after that I expect a non-stop sizzle reel of first party and third party games. 30+ games, minimum.

Switch Physical Collection - 1,260 games (as of June 15th, 2024)

I’m seriously hoping they announce a new Animal Crossing game. It’s been nearly 6 years, I need another one lol

@Magician I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you are expecting a none stop sizzle reel for first and third party games. I expect 5 to 10 minutes each for Smash Bros, Fire Emblem and Yoshi. The rest of the time will be divided between one or two big third party games, Reggie talking and a sizzle reel of other titles also coming to the Switch.

That was easily the most disappointing Direct ever and I didn’t even have high hopes. What a joke.

So excited for Hollow Knight, but I will patiently wait for a physical release of course.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Smash Bros., but that roster is amazing. I’ll probably support it.

Couldn’t care less about Fortnite honestly.

Speaking of Knights, why in the heck doesn’t Shovel Knight have a physical release with all of the DLC?
