@RR529 Yes it is.

Take the UK for instance. Because we are part of the European Trade Union, we pay a tariff on any imported goods.

That's on top of any customs charges, due to being electronic goods, they are subject to being opened and inspected.

And THEN Royal Mail slaps a delivery charge on top of THAT.

In total, let's take the physical release of Mega Man 11 for instance. What cost, what, $50 for the amiibo edition, that's £38. That's already more than the game costs at retail here for other systems since it got released on PS4/Xbox One at retail.

The customs charge for that was £20, plus the delivery cost and Royal Mail Charge, in total, the game cost me £85 to get.

@Knuckles-Fajita, yeah, that definitely seems like overkill.

Yeh, **** importing to the UK, just ****ing money away. Just be patient and buy a used copy from a sucka who couldn't resist those succulent added charges.

Would be nice to see Capcom bring something newer than 6th generation for a change. I love ports of great games, and it’s not the older games that I take issue with. But Capcom has not invested enough into bringing modern games to Switch. And at year 3, my patience is starting to wear thin. Bring a new Monster Hunter, and I’m good. But until I see the announcement, it’s hard not to shake my head at their efforts.

edit
(Although I must commend them for Dragon’s Dogma- 7th gen games are a perfect fit for Switch, and aside from MH, I wouldn’t really expect them to cram current gen AAA games on the system aside from a few carefully chosen titles)

@RR529
Ya, I’ve been taking FULL advantage of region free

EU Imports
Blazblue Central Fiction
Unravel Two
One Piece: Unlimited World Red
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3
Little Nightmares
Taiko Drum Master: Drum ‘n’ Fun

JP Imports
Bayonetta
Okami HD
Onimusha Warlords
Ace Attorney Trilogy
Mega Man X Collection 2
Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle
Super Robot Wars T
Monster Hunter XX (before it was announced for the west)

Asian Imports
Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon
World of Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy X/X-2
I Am Setsuna

Ugh, brutal.

I certainly wouldn't be importing games as often if I were dealing with those kinds of fees.

Only new game I'm expecting from Capcom at this point is Ace Attorney 7.

@IceClimbers
And a new Monster Hunter. That’s one game they will definitely release on Switch, guaranteed.

But.. ya. That’s about it.

@IceClimbers @JaxonH You forgot the next Mega Man installment, whatever that will end up being. But they're the only 3 new games Capcom will bother bringing to the Switch.

And soon you need to pay tariffs on goods from EU as well!

Here comes the Switch's second MMO? The first (that has English support that I'm aware of anyway) was Elemental Knights R. Sadly, Phantasy Star Online 2 and Dragon Quest X remain exclusive to the Japanese market.

Seems a listing for Digimon Cyber Sleuth was leaked also

Playing castle of hearts and it’s pretty good.

@Qwertyninty it was on sale right? Or am i thinking of another game

@NintendoByNature yep like under $3 US

Oh man I would love this! And this is coming from someone who's already bought the game twice (Vita and PS4, for cross play).

Nintendo's E3 plans revealed:

So, the Direct will be on 12 June 2019 at 11 pm on West Indonesia Time, right? 😀
Any schedule for EA direct on E3 2019 ?
I really really hope EA want to port The Sims 4 for Nintendo Switch.
I imagine i see the green crystal suddenly pop up from EA Direct, following by very recognizable Simlish language then a Nintendo Switch logo appear at the end of trailer, i can die in happines to realize if The Sims 4 on Nintendo Switch.
Hurry up, EA !
Make my wish come true and i can immediately sell my PS4 Slim.

@Anti-Matter Spoiler: It won't happen.

@Anti-Matter no I think it's June 11, 11pm.

@Octane
But, who know if The Sims 4 can suddenly granted by EA to be ported on Nintendo Switch? 😉
I remembered i was screaming from Nintendo Direct September 2018 ago when i saw FF XII on Nintendo Switch. I still couldn't belive to realize if FF XII TZA finally on Nintendo machine, like dream comes true.
