@JaxonH It's worse now than it used to be because of the pandemic. Scalpers take advantage of the online stock as usual but there's a much higher proportion of online stock this time.
Physical retail is the solution to dealing with scalpers but that's not really an option given people would prioritize the console over safety like that PS5 incident in Japan.
@Grumblevolcano Scalping existed long before the internet, the term itself comes from the 19th century. Even with physical shops there would still be people reselling thing.
Game industry Insider Jeff Gruff state we gonna know more about Legend of Zelda 35th anniversary this summer, focus will be on the remaster of Skyward Sword until July.
Not for me, but I'm happy for the people who wanted it. Switch is being treated like one of the ninth-gen consoles in terms of most releases in its power range.
@rallydefault yep easy buy for me. One of the best soundtracks ever and I rarely get hung up on soundtracks. Superman by goldfinger still amps me up. Day 1 without a doubt.
last week of this month is pretty good for the Nintendo Switch.
Taxi Chaos
Persona 5 Strikers
Bravely Default II which im getting off of the eshop since i dont feel like going for a 2 hour road trip just to go a Walmart or Best buy store or whatever out of town
@rallydefault
You know how long I've waited for a proper, modern graphics Tony Hawk game on a handheld? As soon as it was announced for consoles, I was like yup, here's our chance. I was pretty sure it would come, hence holding off buying it, but it's nice to have confirmation.
Tony Hawk on Switch is an absolute must. I played the heck out of this game back in the day. Not being able to play one of the most iconic games ever on the HD handheld hybrid would have been a tragedy.
But, it's coming. This means setting Switch up in tabletop mode, detaching the joycon, and playing multi-player with my coworkers in my office. This game was born for Switch.

They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
@JaxonH
Agreed. I think it'll sell incredibly well. I used to skate (I was pretty bad lol), and I can seriously imagine people at the skate park playing Tony Hawk on their Switch. Sounds corny but I know my friends would've done it back in the day lol
@rallydefault
It's like the Switch launch commercial with basketball players playing basketball on their Switches lol.
I'm gonna go play putt putt golf while playing Mario Golf 😉
I used to Rollerblade. Never learned to skateboard. I tried but just couldn't learn to pop it up in the air. But that's what video games were for! Experience something I couldn't in real life.
When I was 17, me and the guys I worked with would all go to Cy's house and play GTA and Tony Hawk on his PS2, which back then was the hotness, the thing everyone wish they had but couldn't afford lol.
@JaxonH
Lol yea in high school we'd go over to my one friend's house who had a sweet setup in his garage. Tony Hawk and Chinese takeout. We'd go outside and skate and play some basketball. My one friend was pretty good and could actually grind and stuff. That was the life.
@rallydefault We're getting close to due for the next main series game when it comes to Kirby. I could see it being ready right around the anniversary.
@JokerCK@JaxonH Yuuuuus I've been waiting for Tony Hawk. Cant wait for that and Crash.
@Ralizah I noticed a pattern that the only Activision announcements in Directs have been games that are already on the latest PS system.
Crash Trilogy - PS4 version had already been out for 9 months
Spyro Trilogy - PS4 version had already been out for 7 months
Diablo III - PS4 version with the expansions had already been out for 14 months
Overwatch - PS4 version had already been out for 3 years and 2 months
Meanwhile the games announced outside a Direct:
Skylanders Imaginators - Was a Switch launch title so no Direct
CTR - PS4 and Switch versions were announced at the same time
Diablo II - PS5 and Switch versions were announced at the same time
Crash 4 - PS5 and Switch versions were announced at the same time
THPS 1+2 - PS5 and Switch versions were announced at the same time
Overwatch 2 - PS4 and Switch versions were announced at the same time
Seems clear to me from this analysis that Activision's main priority is Playstation and they don't want to give attention to the Switch version of games if they haven't already been released on the newest Playstation console at the time which makes sense given they've moved more towards Playstation ever since the Xbox CoD exclusivity expired.
