I own all the English releases on switch but I haven't started them yet because apparently I'm supposed to start with Trails in the Sky. Which means I'll never play any of these, lol.
The most I'll pay for a game is $60 cad, and most of the time I'll find them lower. There are a variety of ways to do that, but like others have pointed out, you really do not need to buy a game new on release day.
To the people who are saying this is good for Activision-Blizzard in the long run... Did the Rareware and Bethesda acquisitions improve their quality output?
I keep all my old games/systems so I'm not really looking for re-releases. I'd really like some brand new games from franchises that are missing on switch. Starfox, F-Zero, Mario baseball, Donkey Kong, Rhythm Heaven, Layton, Wario Land, Metroid Prime...
Edit: I thought of a re-release I would like to see on Switch. Rare Replay.

Are the puzzles the same or are they completely different?
Re: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Reprint Revealed As Limited Run's "Final 3DS Release"

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?

Re: Take-Two Has Filed A Trademark Dispute Over Remedy's Awesome New Logo
They should sue The Pokemon Company over the Team Rocket logo.

I own all the English releases on switch but I haven't started them yet because apparently I'm supposed to start with Trails in the Sky. Which means I'll never play any of these, lol.
Re: 'Switch 2' Will Be An Iterative Evolution And Will Cost $400, Predicts Analyst

Re: Masahiro Sakurai On His Future: "I'm Still Creating Games For The Time Being"
Knowing him, he's probably making videos with his left hand as he codes games with his right.
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers
Nintendolife seems to have forgotten what today is called, so it's nice to see virtually everyone in the comments remembered.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Indigo Disk (Switch) - Enjoyable But Safe DLC Is Far From A Treasure

Best dungeon in the game.

Re: Tears Of The Kingdom Continues To Prove That 'Open World Zelda' Is A Best-Selling Formula
It's one of the best video games I've ever played. I have my complaints but that didn't stop me from putting 200 solid hours into it.
Re: Best Metal Gear Games On Nintendo Systems
I like Twin Snakes more than the original.

I have this game on Wii lol
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Physical & Digital Switch Release Will Require 8GB "Day 1" Update
I think if companies figured out that Nintendo fans care about complete carts, then they would make more money.

I'm still sitting here waiting for the Dark Suit from Prime Echoes.
Re: Random: One "New" Wii U Was Apparently Sold In The US Last Month
I mean, it is currently the only way to legally play XCX. I think lots of people wanted to try that one after finishing up Future Redeemed.
Re: Mario & Luigi's New Voice Actor Has Been Revealed
I still don't understand why they didn't just have Charles record a bunch of silly words in a single session and reuse them for decades.

Re: Soapbox: FOMO Nearly Ruined Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom For Me
I always watch the first trailer of a new game/movie and that's it. Everything after that is full of spoilers.
