I don't think ebay or amazon are going to end scalping because it would hamstring their profits. Every sale these scalpers make, ebay/amazon get back a % of the sale.
Interesting, they started with a few mobile games in 2009 - 2010 and then no releases for 8 years and in 2018 they had some releases for the switch. But they had 41 releases in 2020 so they must have had some funds injected.
I think what is interesting too, is that these games might be targeting an older demographic (like in retirement age) because it's games like blackjack, poker, chess, roulette.
They probably said "hey, nobody has made a calculator for the switch, let's do that."
I really enjoy the main SMT games over the Persona games (don't get me wrong, the persona games are fantastic too!). I think its the dark setting that you play in post-apocolyptic world and have to recruit demons.
fingerst crossed for Digital Devil Saga games. Those had some great voice acting cast!
It is in the news now, eventually a month later there will be something else to talk about. Just like AM2R, people will move on and the .exe will continue to thrive on being hosted in other locations.
It looks like Nintendo paid attention to the boom of mine gaming. Nintendo deffentily set a high bar by bring it's franchises to a mobile platform, yet appeases the home experience.
What you really need is one of the security systems they have at Best Buy.... Imagine going into the store and asking "can I buy your security setup for the switch" 😁
@Bunkerneath agree, there's nothing stopping a thief from taking the whole thing. Maybe if there was a way to cable the box to a secure fixture (not around a table leg as a their could just lift up the table).
I definitely seeing this as being overshadowed by the SSBU release 12/7... Regardless, this game is amazing! Gorgeous graphics and excellent soundtrack from me well known composers in the industry. Don't let this title.slip by you if you enjoy platformers! 😎
Can't wait to play this! My pre-order should come in today. Also, what a legendary lineup of composers!
Curious to know if this title could be an underdog of the switch, since it is being released a few days before Smash Bros. Hopefully it will get some support in the way of DLCs and added content.
I pre-ordered Monster Boy physical. I watched a number of game play videos and a big fan of games that are Metroidvania anything. What made me interested in the physical edition was that it comes with a printed manual (remember those?).
I have a pre-order for smash ultimate so who knows how much time will get eaten up by these games.
I own a lot of retro games, but yeah there are several I am not willing to work over $XXX.xx to own. I settle with the fact it's a game I will never own. I fill the need using a retro pi option. I'll have to accept that.
Likewise, games that exactly came to mind: Super Monkey Ball, Marble Maddness. I don't know if anyone played that arcade game Cameltry https://youtu.be/bssMf8f8tek

Re: Feature: Is It Worth Importing A Japanese 3DS For These Virtual Console Games?
No, it's not worth it to import a Japanese 3DS for those virtual console titles.
Its not going to significantly move the needle on Nintendo's bottom line, just use Luma CFW

Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Trilogy For Nintendo Switch Is Ready To Be Released

It's Q1, Nintendo is still riding the smash Bros wave, so releasing MP trilogy too soon could be saturating their own market.
