@MisterPi As expected. It was nice while it lasted. Might end up going digital after all with the 5% kickback after the next year. Which is probably the end goal here after all.
@Knuckles-Fajita Are you sure about that 10%? That's not the numbers that were reported back at the time. The TPC numbers are accurate, they don't own a majority, but they own the controlling share by way of the 32% + the controlling share of the other two stake holders. Plus, of course, the brandmarks themselves....
@Anti-Matter Err, but isn't your favorite series in your signature a series only on Sony systems?
@Ralizah Huh? For me TWEWY lists as $50 full price, and then the "Additional Prime Savings" is like $1.87 off as a clippable coupon checkbox. I actually preordered and after realizing that intend to cancel and order on my still active GCU membership instead. The past month I've been ordering most Switch games on my old GCU since Amazon's not offering it on a lot of stuff to the point I consider it non-existant anymore
I forgot the direct was today! Wow, it's amazing they managed to make Smash look fun and interesting here....unlike at E3. I'm with you...give me single player, real single player and this starts looking good. Though honestly, is it me, or did the graphics get more WiiU-like since E3? It looks almost exactly like the WiiU one to me now. Maybe it's the display of older stages. Still, this presentation shows just how awful the E3 presentation was. I swear the didn't even prepare for it, they just slapped it together in a week.
Maybe the presence of bosses hints at something single player.

They will look on Me whom they pierced
@NEStalgia Gamestop and Amazon are both making it look like there's an across the board pre-order discount for the game, as they both list the "regular price" as $59.99. Very weird.
@NEStalgia
"but isn't your favorite series in your signature a series only on Sony systems?"
Yes, but only on PS1 & PS2.
I don't care with other Sony machines, even my PS4 is Fail to impress me as Nintendo machines done. I still rarely touch my PS4 despite i have a few favorite games. Looked like PS4 reputation Turned OFF my hype / desire to play. Even after i bought PS4, i still thinking to myself "Why the heck i must buy this DAMN machine ?!"
Got my copy of Go Vacation! in the mail yesterday. It's a bit hit and miss, but decent overall. I do wish it had online though (even if it were limited to a certain set of activities), as really no one I know IRL is that interested in games, and this probably shines multiplayer.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
I guess I'm the only person here who wasn't terribly impressed with the new Direct? The single-player portion of the game seems pretty phoned in.
Dracula's Castle is definitely spiffy, though.
@Spoony_Tech It's too bad all of the big preorder discount programs are going away now.
Digital will soon be the best option for savings at launch, between sites that sell eshop cards at a discount and the 5% back you get from digital purchases atm.
@Ralizah A fake pre-order discount. That's new. I don't understand how they can list a fake full price and pretend it's on sale. Amazon I get, they keep manipulating prices as much as they manipulate their earnings statements to get out of the promotion while still claiming to offer it. GameStop? What possible benefit is it to them?
@Anti-Matter Still, it has games that you like, so it doesn't make sense to write off the platform, even if you don't like a lot of games made for it. You do like some of them!
@Ralizah The game presented better than the E3 show. Though the graphics still look like Smash 4 to me, and less enhanced than at E3. I'm hoping that's not the entire single player though. Tekken really should not have a better single player than Smash. That's just lame. Even KI ended up having to add a single player metagame after "story mode" was nothing of the sort, just an arcade mode with an ending.....like SFII had 30 years ago. But the metagame they added is actually really good....roguelike fighting. Shame KI fighting doesn't appeal to me.
Yeah, I'm still hoping that NO announces that like PS/XB they will allow "game sharing" between your Primary and logged in Switch (right now it's obscene that purchases are hardware-locked and I can't even log in and play a game I bought.) If they allow game sharing, like every other console does, I might as well go 100% digital at this point. I'll miss the cartridges, I love them, but with the price differences it's making less sense.
