My 5 year old is a huge fan of the show and has the Japanese version of this (I'm assuming it's identical - it looks identical) and he absolutely loves it. Getting a new medal is a big deal for him.
Of course, if your age is in double digits you really aren't the target for this! Hope the game does well in the West. Now I just wish they'd bring forward the EU release!
As much as I dislike this decision, it makes sense to me. Don't think about it from your standpoint, think about it from the standpoint of a Japanese corporation. Spend any time in Japan and you'll see kids in malls playing Monster Hunter or Youkai Watch and adults on train commutes playing Puzzles and Dragons. They're obviously seeing that demographic as their market focus. People spending hours on trains chopping down trees and spending lots on microtransactions to while away the hours.
"If I played a Nintendo game on my channel most likely most of the views/ad revenue would come from the fact that my viewers are subscribed to me. Not necessarily because they want to watch a Nintendo game in particular."
I have the Collectors edition, purchased on release day and played to death. Very very happy that others will have the opportunity to play these masterpieces at an insanely affordable price. I hope (but doubt) they include a digital version of the little artwork booklet too.

I understand, but I really don't like.

Wow, that's pretty arrogant.

Was rather looking forward to NES Remix on the go, but holy crap £35!

Would have been nice if they'd mentioned this before I plonked the money down on kickstarter.
