@JaxonH WOW that quite expensive

@Giancarlothomaz
The Monster Hunter creator's models are large and extremely detailed and finely crafted. They're high tier figures. Granted, I do think they're charging too much. They should all be $100 tops, and they used to be, but in recent years prices have risen considerably.

Even so, that's the going rate. And the ones that are sold out sell for double, sometimes triple, on the secondhand market.

So I like to get my preorder in. I bought both through amiami.com and combined shipping into 1 order to save money. Cheaper shipping options should be around $70 which is about $35/ea, which coupled with the favorable conversion rate for the JP price, is less than it would be buying from Goodsmile.

@Giancarlothomaz @JaxonH
Those prices are still quite affordable I think.
Now, First 4 Figures and Hot Toys, those are expensive.

@Tremblucay i live in Brazil where the current dolar excange rate is R$5.15 for 1 dolar, now add this too $100= R$522.49

@Giancarlothomaz
It's not because the exchange rate is 5 to 1 that you pay 5 times more. That's not how it works.

AI: The Somnium Files is on sale for $7.99. That's an absolute steal. Highly recommended to anyone still on the fence.

@Tremblucay also i forgot to mention Brazil, has one of the worst taxes system of the world, 70/80%of everything you pay in Brazil is taxes.

@Giancarlothomaz I thought Canada was bad, that tax sounds painful

@Giancarlothomaz
Damn, that's a lot. With such high tax rates, I understand everything getting some serious upcharge. Not cool.

Has anyone tried Elechead yet? It was featured in the last indie. Looks good, but wanted to see if anyone tried it out yet.

@Ralizah
$8 for A.I. The Somnium Files is a no-brainer. That game was way better than I was expecting, and opened my eyes to what visual novels could be when they incorporate a larger budget and full 3D character models and modern controls.

@Rambler as a ICMS, currently on congress, we are trying to make Brazil tax system less complicated.

If you're a fan of those kinds of visual novels then....

gently nudges across the table

(I will continue spreading AA propaganda for as long as I live)

@Fizza I already liked the first game. The second game bumped it up to being my single favorite collection of Ace Attorney games to date.

Absolutely stellar duology.

@JaxonH AI: The Somnium Files was a gigantic technical step up over any of the Zero Escape games, and the sequel is looking to address some of remaining issues that existed with character animations in that game.

And the original looks TERRIFIC on the Switch.

@Fizza
Oh I know. I love The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. It's not as high budget as AI Somnium Files, and there's definitely no 3D models or character exploration, but it's super fun. Those are the only two VN series I genuinely love, in fact.

@Ralizah
I bought the new one, but should I play it after beating the first one, or is the story separate? Cause if it's separate, and it does make improvements, I'd rather jump straight to it. Not enough room to keep both on my main SD. Gotta archive one and redownload on a spare microSD. Which one is the question...

@JaxonH

You should be good to go with the sequel.

@Ralizah I'm so monumentally excited to play Resolve because I took an extended break after beating Adventures back in May and, once I get through my current backlog between Pokemon, Skyward Sword and Kirby 64, I'll be on that instantly. When Adventures is one of my favourite AA games to date purely based off of the characters and story, hearing that Resolve is just the first game..... but better is extremely motivating.

Nintendo could be ready to anounce the next Donkey Kong game

@NeonPizza
Ahem....
I have a lot of PS4 games in physical and they looked really good in Blue color.

the next Nintendo Direct could be focused on third party games
