Paper Mario for me.

But on my GameFly list, so even if by luck I get picked to ship tomorrow (🤞) not seeing it till end of next week probably.

@DrDaisy

• Geshin Impact: is in Closed Beta testing on PS4 right now (It is actually pretty good 👍)
• WindBound; is set to release on August 28

@Wavey84 In some cases you get that "better version" for Free or dirt cheap on PC.

Made the math. That is $481 dollars I saved by skipping re-buying old games on Switch (not including sales tax!)

And this list is missing tons of expensive rehash I have on PC (or closet) Xcom2, Witcher, Mirage FE, Xenoblade, Metro.

Next Gen is payed for - hell, could even be enough for a 3080 🤔

@-Green- And that is great. I have had an exercise bike since college. That is what works for me.

Someone can workout with RingFit and then play Clubhouse 51 on the bus. I can ride my Standing Bike and play Metroid on the bus.

Something for everyone.

Wow, great for Powerful Pro 2020 - it really needs to come West. I'll take even the old one 😕

Finally, some change to the monotony. If Ghost makes it in, we might even get something not cartoon graphics. Little steps Japan, little steps.

It looks fantastic. Paper world and Origami theme are great.

Tons of AAA/Indies prove you do not always need to care about casual players. They are not out playing Nioh2 or TLOU or 100 reloads in Disco Elysium - and that is fine.

They can go play RingFit or animal crossing or Clubhouse 51.

Last thing I need is a cartoony water down Metroid to keep casual players involved.

Downloaded it on PC Game Pass. Only played it for a bit.

Maybe circle back.

Rather play Wasteland 3, Captain Tsubasa, Madden or Project Cars 3 in August before yet another rehash port anyway.

First concern should be they actually spend time optimizing the main game before release. Publishers barely doing the basic stuff with these ports.

That battle system is really not for me. Still think the world looks cool. And the Origami concept also. So I still want to check it out.

I'll move it to the GameFly list. I'll play it whenever they ship it.

It is a Free to Play Mobile game. Can just download and try it out.

At £26 for a Remaster not going to knock it.

I mean, with all the new games in July - not wasting time on this. But at least they know to price it as a budget game. Hopefully it actually runs ok.

And then they tried to sell a $4 game for $50... and Fail. Moving on.

£209.99!?... Moving on.

Came in the charts at #32. Most did not waste their cash on this train wreck anyway.

No idea why I would spend any money (or time) on this with F12020, Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario all out in the same month.

🏎 Loving F1 2020 🏎 glad it did well (🏁Great F1 race yesterday made me want to play more) It is also only $36 on PC

Deadly Premonition 2 at nowhere land #32. Most did not buy the "Broken game is charming" nonsense. Shocking!

By next Weekend I'll have F12020, Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario. Now that is a gaming weekend 😃😎

Another example of nonexistent 3rd party support on Switch.

Every other platform is swimming in big new AAA games. Even the garbage failure that is Stadia getting more support than Switch 🤦‍♂️

Care about AC Valhalla - that if it plays and looks like Odyssey is already 10X better than playing archaic AC3 on Switch. And a new FarCry. Having both sure beats having Nothing.

Ok, so much for that.

Banner of the Maid is launching on Switch on August 12th.

Only $16 😃

Hollywood does not make Movies thinking they be appreciated in Japan. It is all about the West - just like our game Studios 😉

TLOU2 is the only game there not a cartoon 🤦‍♂️ it basically took a Western studio to bring something "Different" (both visual and content) to the Japanese chart 😁

Another port failure with Catherine: Full Body on Switch. Also called it (was called a troll)... and again, most did not care for an overpriced old port.

Make something New on Switch. Hoping Pro Yakyuu 2020 does well for Bandai Namco. The Mrs, like Clubhouse Games: 51. That is a win.

@carlos82 Alonso is back in 2021! I love F1 Drama 😂

Yeah, super excited for F1 (loved F1 2019) CodeMaster has done a great job for the F1 fans.

After TLOU2, I want something not stressful also. And Paper Mario is perfect.

I was actually leaving Ghost for next month. But after the last gameplay reveal, I broke down. Doing Black and White first run 😀

Have a good move. I hate moving.

Already at 57 metacritic. Just save the cash and use it to buy Pizza and binge a quaky British show.

Tons of "charm"

You know you hit bottom when "zero optimization" is labeled as "Charm" in a $50 game.

With F12020, Paper Mario and Ghost of Tsushima out next 2 week - spending my money (or time) on this was never an option anyway.

Great game. Already have it on PC.

Looking forward for the New Ys NOX on Switch. They giving old and new stuff, so everyone who is a Ys fan on Switch is getting something. Nicely done 👍

So now we know most with a Switch did not care about all those overpriced old games - Digital or Physical (Called it ages ago)

Vocal minority defending and asking for games nobody actually buys in large numbers. That always ends well.

@carlos82 Yeah and the mechanism of telling a large chunk of it (the photo Easter egg hunt) is not that complicated to place in the game design.

Make an umbrella quest and Just drop it in world and call it a day.

ZBOTW is one of my favorite games. Cant wait for #2

Looks nice, but clips ere actually top heavy - makes your wrist hurt. Also on the train it sticks out, so you always pulling it in thinking people will bump it.

Had same design for Xcloud, RainWay and Steam Link.

The telescopic ones (ends up like a Switch/VITA) are a lot better for Xcloud/Geforce NOW/Shadow (Any Android BT controller works) or just using SteamLink when the main TV is busy. They also cheaper.

@monterxz I care more about having access to the games.

If July was reversed - and I could play F12020 and Ghost of Tsushima "everywhere" and Paper Mario Origami King "only at home". It would make no difference to me. As long as I get to play them.

I played the new XCOM: Chimera Squad on PC for $19. Skipped playing yet another port of XCOM2 for $50. Do that a few times and anyone with a Switch can afford a 2nd system.

But yes, for anyone who cares more about "where they play" than "what they play"... they stuck. But that has nothing to do with "what they can afford". They paying more in the long run.

So, this is the same as Ninokuni and AC3. Remastered everywhere but Switch. But at the same price.

Always readings how some can’t afford another console (so stuck with whatever laziness publishers make on Switch) Honestly, By paying top dollar for All the ancient Ports on Switch. Same games that have been either Free or dirt cheap everywhere else. You Basically end up spending more than buying a 2nd console in the long run.

Already have it on PC. I Just play it at home and do something else on my commute.

It is already, 50% off on Steam. By the time they finally get around to releasing this, it will probably be $19 🙄

Well, time to start taking out Loot Boxes from them then.

If keep just running away from markets that ban it instead of fixing the problem, there wont be much of a "market" left

@nhSnork The thing is, in some political circles. It is about "marketing" and how they target kids with these "gotcha" mechanics. I was making a distinction between "microtransaction" and the perceived issue with loot boxes. They should not be lumped into one (The argument that they are the same as gambling is something I also find can be debatable)

I agree with everything else there - especially everything after

"And none of this is rocket science that can't be explained to a kid"

Anyway, nice reply.

@RazumikhinPG It is not the shipping cost.

GAME is not going to have a bulk shipment show up to their warehouse and have their paid staff do any work for Platinum for free.

It is more logical that you would expect UK duty fees on something you are importing - than all that happening for a Kickstarter pledge.

@RazumikhinPG

And you think the UK retailer is going to agree to do that for free? The retailer needs to get payed.

And not "all backers" had this issue. So you talking for them to organize this per country. Nobody will do that.

Anyone who backed the Kickstarter was to back the game. I could have gotten Shenmue 3 for $5 when it hit retail. That has nothing to do with my pledge.

Not their problem.

I bought the Okami Album from DataDisc. Had them ship it to the US from the UK.

https://data-discs.com/products/okami?variant=12539388231765

I got a yellow card saying I needed to pay duty fees instead of my package. Went to the PostOffice. Talked to them and at the end they let me have it.

None of that is on the DataDisc FAQ for it. How would they know? This is not "Kickstarter" it is anything you importing from another country you run the risk of getting stop at customs.

Paper Mario for me.

F1 2020 and Ghost of Tsushima Are “can’t miss” in July. Combined, those 3 games blow the budget in July. So that has to be it.

Fairy Tail is a Rental, so whenever GameFly ships it to me.

@nhSnork You can aim a Game or a "microtransaction" to kids.

Making a Kid want a pair of digital shoes in a game or a real one from a toy store as an accessory for a doll the already own (digital or real) is not illegal

The issue (so they claim) is the BOX with a random give. Where it is a "chance" you get the shoes. There it is not a store that sells toy shoes, but a Slot machine that "jack-pot" are the toy shoes.

A digital store that you see what you are getting is 100% legal.

So basically just about every Nintendo Mobile game that mostly target kids and have a larger distribution.

But lets use just a picture of FIFA 🙄

The 5 month Switch drought ends with Paper Mario for me.

Wait for reviews on Fairy Tail for Switch. Big fan of the Anime, so if they butchered the graphics to much on Switch, I'll move it to PC.

Indies and 2nd tier stuff like CrossCode I now just check out on PC Game Pass for 5 bucks.

Said it from day 1. This game will be awesome. I bet the style will also run great on Switch.

Have my pre-order. So ready for this!

And that price does not include WarHead 🙄

I can play my old PC copy on the GO over Shadow - good enough. I'll give you $60 for a good new Crysis game.

Great MH game, Already own it. I could get it for $15 right now at Walmart if I did not. Zero need for another copy on Switch

Make something new for the Switch.

This was not even the Open-World Cyberpunk RPG most people wanted back in 2015.

It really is not now that CyberPunk 2077 is around.

@RickD Well, sort of the point - If you want to make real cash (at least here in the States). He is on the right side of the fence right now.

Just how things are.

@RickD If that is being "punch in the nuts" tons of publishers will follow

If anything - he figured out it does not matter what they "foray into"

He is a video game fan. Seems logical 🤷‍♂️

Insanity is thinking all these people do not play multiple games on tons of different hardware in their lives.

Checked it out when it hit PC Game Pass. I should have known with the 2 out of 5 stars ratting. And that is from people who got to play it for $5.

This was not even worth the time downloading it.

I liked Bravely Second. Can't wait for Bravely Default 2.

Made it to the Beach in TLOU2 last night. Amazing piece of Digital Art. Great it is still up there.
