Game-Key = No Buy.

Nice and all, but sadly the Switch 2 version is still a Game-Key.

I love the theme they are going with, and there appear to be some improvements. But it still looks far from what you’d expect of a “next-gen” title.

This is really saddening to see, but unfortunately, it was to be expected.

I guess this paves the way for even more blatant cash grabbing going forward.

This quick and easy cash grab really shouldn’t see widespread support. But sadly, Pokémon sells no matter what.

It’s really insane that the game isn’t even included on the cartridge, for a set like this.

A “special occasion” is a funny way to say they smelled money.

This might be the most greedy move Nintendo pulled in a long time.
...And the bar was already pretty high.

Wow. This is really some next level greed…

They have the GBA service right there to release this on… And if you must sell it individually, at least put the game on the actual cartridge!

I can’t get excited anymore for remasters and remakes, even if it’s a physical release. Try something original for a change.

No. Let’s just move on already. We’re already getting swamped in remakes left and right.

Game Key = No buy. Absolutely ridiculous that a Pokémon game is going this route.

Disappointing to hear they didn’t really put any real meat into this game to justify the high price. Sadly, that’s what I came to expect from Mario Sports games.

NintendoLife - does a question like this really need 10 different poll options? The clutter it creates in the results is highly annoying…

I’d love to support a new IP. But it would need to get a proper physical release for me to do so.

Remake… Sigh. That’s all developers know what to do these days, isn’t it?

Absolutely disgusting that this is a Game-Key release.

Weird Pokémon choices. But cool nonetheless.

I was craving for some extra single player content with a nice challenge, because the main game was way too simple.

Besides, multiplayer should’ve been included from the start, just like the previous games. Instead they smelled the opportunity to include another paywall. Jeez…

Still a Game-Key, still a hard pass.

It doesn’t feel like Turok so far. They could’ve done better to make it a new IP.

Ports, ports, ports… C’mon devs, come up with something original!

Nice! Gonna buy it to support physical gaming.

Game not on cart = no buy.

Another Game-Key horror fest.

I love the series, but c’mon, give it a break for a while… Let the team focus on something new, I bet they have plenty of talent to surprise us with original ideas.

I’m sure after so many years of development these aren’t the sales numbers they were hoping for.

Then again, after so many years of development, this also wasn’t the quality gamers were hoping for.

I strongly disliked the Ultra Beasts, both in concept and design.

But somehow things got even worse after that.

What I want: anything that is no Game-Key.

What I expect: everything will be a Game-Key release.

Very impressive numbers! I’m honestly surprised it’s doing so well, despite the ludicrous prices and some big games having received an underwhelming reception.

They should’ve made it a better game, if they wanted higher sales. Simple as that.

Such a shame they released this as a Game-Key.

Game Key = PASS. No matter how much bonuses they “give” away.

What a fun contest! Really a nice and fresh initiative.

Honestly, it’s not the most exciting lineup so far... I’m hoping the Direct will show some big bangers.

No thanks. Do a proper physical release instead. Do better, Capcom!

Just make an original new entry please. Seems like companies are stuck on recycling modus these days…

Every time an old game is mentioned everyone starts begging for a remaster. No wonder we’re seeing less and less original IPs every year.

The first year of Switch 2 has been quite underwhelming so far. Perhaps even disappointing, given that big titles like Mario Kart and Metroid Prime didn’t meet many player’s expectations.

It’s due time for some great new announcements.

Such a shame they dropped this feature… It’s like going two steps forward and one step back.

No doubt it would be a toned down Game-Key card, so no thanks.

The disclaimer text they put at the bottom is truly next level stupidity.

I’m sorry for the developers, but perhaps it’s for the best. The remake looked quite awful.

Too bad the game isn’t going to receive any significant updates. It could’ve used another City Trial map or two.

Sigh, yet another RE remake. Can’t get excited for those anymore.

Its development hell is clearly visible in the end product. The game reeks of compromises and lacks ambition and creativity.

I had preferred them to restart development again from scratch, because the end product is not the quality most players hoped for. Putting out a mediocre title like this really hurts the credibility for the franchise.

There’s really no notable difference. With “upgrades” like this I’m getting more and more the feeling that Switch 2 is just a Switch Pro.

Well, he’s not wrong. Platform holders like Nintendo and Sony just get away with their missteps more easily because they have a large, devoted fan base. EA doesn’t have that luxury.

Both racers I already own, Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders, felt too pricey for the content and value they provided. I’m worried this will be the same case with Sonic, so I’ll skip it for now even though it looks like a fun experience.

The monitization practices on Switch 2 are already aggressive enough. Let’s hope things don’t get any worse.
