In Indonesia, peoples sell Sushi Strikers Switch version with very low price (Rp 99,000 or under US$ 10 for the cheapest price) due to not really succesfull with $60 price tag.
Also, LABO 01 - 04 got drastic price cut in Indonesia, under US$ 20 for the cheapest price and brand new condition.
My LABO toys are literally catching dusts on my shelf, i found the rubbers that holding the cardboard already melted.

I'm disappointed in the Switch ports of Assassin's Creed III and Grip. AC III has some audio issues, and although Grip runs well the low rez textures are really off putting. I'll be adding those to the trade pile.

[OT] I'm happy to see a common theme in the nscollectors reddit.

Hades, Hades, 2x copies of Hades, Hades, Hades...

...I'd venture a guess that the physical release for Hades did well.

@rallydefault The change at the ending of TOK just kinda felt like dagger twisting to me.

Although I am happy the game stuck to its narrative guns. Unlike TTYD where the game doesn't commit to TEC's death, which largely ruins that aspect of the story. For such a light-hearted adventure, IS really wasn't pulling its punches.

@Ralizah
Yea, I'm glad they stuck with the emotional plot points and didn't cheapen them later. There are honestly some really touching moments in that game, like top emotional moments in my gaming life lol

The secret ending was just like the other emotional parts of the game for me - so powerful, and can be thought of from different perspectives. Some may see it as kind of, I don't know, like inconsequential almost. But I took it more as a finality (based on what the origami maker said earlier in the game) with such a bittersweet twist.

And I assume most people just watch it on Youtube lol It really does take quite a bit of effort to earn. Shy Guys Finish Last, speed rings, and the river boat trophies definitely took some time for me. I have like 80 hours in the game now lol

@Magician
I heard AC3 had compressed audio, but I didn't have my headset back then, and it sounded fine on my Switch Lite. Maybe it was slightly less quality? Too hard for me to tell, so it didn't affect me at all.

That said, I have started noticing audio quality more now that I use a headset when at home. Haven't played that particular game since, but I can't imagine it's too big a deal as a handheld title. Surely it's better than what 3DS games sounded like (I would think?). Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection had no such issues though, as I recall.

Grip just wasn't a very good port. I was pretty unimpressed with the Switch version. Thankfully, the average quality of most Switch games has noticeably improved over the last year or so. It's like devs finally realized this isn't the Wii, it's not a "quick, throw some trash out and cash in quick" kind of system. It's actually a viable platform that can offer sustainable revenue. And if you throw out trash, you'll get a bad reputation and people won't buy your games (note the impact MXGP3 had on all future racing games from the publisher- people just ignore them now automatically because of the bad taste left from that monstrosity of a port).

BTW, I bought Hades physical too. Too good to pass up. Gotta have all the great games in hybrid format on cartridge.

There's always a distraction from MH. The distraction from MHGU was XC2 getting so much DLC and now the distraction from MH Rise is Bravely Default II as there's no chance I'll complete it before MH Rise launches (I'm on Chapter 2).

So by this logic Mario Golf Super Rush will actually have a good story mode (Mario Tennis Aces story mode was rather meh) and be a distraction from MH Stories 2

@Grumblevolcano
If Golf's story mode is even marginally better than Ace's, I'll be really happy. I wasn't all too disappointed with Ace's story, to be honest.

@Ralizah Wait what? Did TEC come back in some optional post-game thing or something? I always thought TEC was dead for good.

@link3710 It's mentioned at the end of the game. Skip to 4:30.

@Grumblevolcano
I didn't play it all the way, but I liked Mario Tennis Aces story mode. Never understood the hate. A little short, I suppose that's a legit complaint. But it was fun.

Mario Golf looks insanely good. I'm a massive, massive Wii Sports Golf fanatic and a diehard Mario Golf World Tour fan. Put the two together and you can't lose. Especially with a story mode that involves leveling up with stats.

The only complaint I have is, it doesn't seem the motion gestures for swinging the club will be able to account for twist to veer the ball off to the left or right. Because Mario Golf just doesn't work like that. I wish they'd incorporate full Wii Sports Golf mechanics for the motion controls. But... it's fine. I'm just happy we're getting a dope looking Mario Golf with motion.

BTW, we don't need a distraction leading up to Monster Hunter Stories 2- we'll still be playing Monster Hunter Rise! Even so, we'll have New Pokémon Snap, Trails of Cold Steel 4, SMT Nocturne and Mario Golf.

And then MH Stories 2 launches just before Skyward Sword. My goodness this is a banger year.

Retro Studios hire Megan Fausti(Star Wars:Fallen Order)to work on Metroid Prime 4 story.

Luckily for me, it'll be years before I play ToCS4, have no interest whatsoever in Mario Golf, am in no rush to play Skyward Sword atm, and can happily wait on Pokemon Snap.

Only game that'll potentially interrupt my Shin Monster Hunter Tensei-athon are the Great Ace Attorney ports that seem increasingly likely to be localized. When that collection comes out, I'm playing it.

check out the analysis of the reveal trailer of Pokémon Legends Arceus.

PSA: Only 100 hrs left to preorder Monster Hunter Rise and get the preorder bonus. Layered Palamute and palico skins are cool, but that novice talisman is going to come in handy. I’m sure it’ll have Divine Protection like in MH World, which I believe randomly lowers damage received by 25% a fixed percentage of the time.

Is there a game on switch that let's you get into a big robot and fight with other people in there's. I thought I saw one advertised on e shop but I can't remember the name of it...❓

@Ninfan Pretty sure you're thinking of Daemon X Machina.

Is it labo?

@NintendoByNature I immediately jumped to Xenoblade X but I remembered... it’s not on Switch.

There's a few mecha games on the Switch. Daemon X Machina is probably the most notable but there's a few it could be.
