Hmm, maybe it's not as scary as I expected. I could be interested then. But my list is getting longer, and I'm starting to back it up again. Also, money. 😖
A demo would be cool. Demos for everything, I say!

@SwitchplayerJohn Remind them that MP4 is coming?

This is so exciting to hear! I'm looking forward to getting this even more now.

Man, that Steam Deck comparison video is like night and day.

@CaleBoi25 I don't know if I'm familiar with those. But it makes sense.
Yes, same here!

@hisownsidekick Well, I appreciate you saying that.
And I agree with you. Though in fairness, it can be easy enough to misinterpret communication through text. I have done so, myself.
Haha, yes! It's a good club to be in. Thanks for sharing, as well!

@CaleBoi25 Oh my gosh, look at that! That is very useful to know. I may try that some time.
Oh, yay! I do find it interesting, haha. Thanks for sharing!

@LastFootnote Ohhhh, true! Haha!

Haha, I agree. Half the time I'm confused about what someone is referring to.

@LastFootnote I see, okay. But I used it correctly. The apostrophe contracts the words when you're shortening "it is", which I was.

I am in the US. I agree with you. Been pronouncing it that way myself. I totally get why the pun is funny, and I also found it funny. I have just learned that - at least until maybe they've now accepted it as an official alternate pronunciation - we have actually been pronouncing it the wrong way. That's just what I had read about it. I wasn't trying to bully you or something. It was just kind of a nerdy grammar factoid. Carry on.

@sadz Sheesh. I was just pointing out something I thought was funny about it.

@bjwhit08 But I wasn't. And I wasn't intending to be a jerk or take away their satisfaction or anything. I just learned that the way we pronounce the weird is actually incorrect, or at least it started that way, as they pointed out.

@LastFootnote Does the wink mean you're joking?

One does not simply walk into a playable version of Tales of the Shire.

@SuperBro64 Hahaha, same!

Fair enough. If nothing else, it's probably a case where they've since changed it to match how it's commonly used in practice.

@SuperBro64 Not bad. Two thumbs up.
You know technically it's pronunciation rhymes with "fur?"

@Elitepatriot Not if the game doesn't go on sale.

@EriXz I don't see how. With how many people are complaining about having physical copies, it sure seems like they are willing to pay more to "actually own" their games. Others would likely make their decision based on convenience or price. To my mind, digital storefronts are in many ways more convenient. And if they are priced the same as a physical copy, then I don't know why you would buy from a retailer. Besides, it's unfair pricing. If anything, we should be boycotting that instead of Game-Key Cards specifically.

@Elitepatriot But a backlog isn't affected by prices. That's a whole game you've just added, regardless of the cost you paid for it. Nintendo charged less for its games for years. It's a perception of value. And they have moved themselves in line with other pricing levels. Besides, we have no idea the costs behind production, nor do we know the amount of profit they actually make off of each sale.

@vitaminj I see, you're saying that Nintendo would be looked at as though they were trying to control the whole thing for themselves.

It's excellent to hear that this is a good experience on Switch 2. I would like to support it, but I'm worried it will scare me too much, and I'll regret it.

@vitaminj I think you're right about that. But what about your point on monopolies? Could you explain that further?

@Elitepatriot I think you're proving the point of this article. And it seems you're making a judgement on pricing, but I suspect it would be different if this game were more expensive. Maybe $80 is unrealistic for a hypothetical, but what if they decided to price this at $60 or even $40, a $25 increase over the first game? Would you still feel that the developers were making the decision with their "good and honest hearts?"

I think RJ Lake/Nintendo Life rightly point out that gamers (and other consumers for other industries, to be sure) have a poor understanding of the cost behind things, particularly if we want to support fair wages and quality working standards and so forth.

Don't say "Nintendo Land!" It still hurts...

I like this candid response. But why aren't digital games less expensive than physical ones??!

Yay!! Love it. Wish there was more.

Yes, this is awesome to hear! Love this kind of news, and I'm excited to play this at some point. It's going on my list! Thanks for the review.

Only 400 buildings - if that isn't the Switch 2 in a nutshell.

@Antraxx777 Ah, bummer. I remember playing Descent: Destination Saturn on our Compaq Presario, our first family computer. It was fun. And difficult. And a little scary, sometimes.

@Antraxx777 For PC?

I'm really excited for this game and so glad it's coming to S2. And day and date! I hope we get a great version.

So, is the entire game on a disc for both PS5 and XSX/S?

How many people here would willingly pay at least $100 for the game just to have it entirely on a cartridge?

Also, how does "I'll wait for the GKC to go in the discount bin" make any sense? I thought the issue was the very nature of them. You won't buy them on principle? Or you won't buy them at full price? Seems a little muddled.
But hey, I do think that digital games should be less expensive than physical ones. It makes no sense, given that we know it costs more money to sell physical copies. A lot more. It would have to.

Hey, that's awesome! And perhaps patches can make it even better.
Maybe this bodes well for other titles with a spotty show reception, like Elden Ring.

I feel like the release of Forsaken confirms it. In my mind, that was the least likely to see a release. I'd never even heard of it. If we had gotten a first-party game, one might think, "Sure, they'd release that. This proves nothing." But since we got this random other game, I feel like the dissection of the blurred images will turn out to be prophetic.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I mean, sure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

@Angelic_Lapras_King They've done back-to-back GameCube games. It could happen. Wait, what if we get RE4?!

I agree, this is worded weirdly. It almost sounded like they were adjusting the thing everyone has been upset about since the S2 Edition was released. Almost.

@Lizuka Oops, missed your comment before I mentioned the same thing.

Yay! A game I've never heard of. I like when they do this. From the video, it reminds me of Descent.

Also, this was apparently one of the games whose box art was spotted in that update video about the CRT filter. GoNintendo pointed this out.

@Angelic_Lapras_King This is a September release. We still have October!

What if it's not good or people generally don't like it? 😅

@AverageGamer Oh yeah, fair guess. Well, I don't think it looks so bad either. I'm not watching a comparison video, but it seems like it plays decently.

Finally, they release the whole 'dex! All 6838 pieces-worth of it!

What is that footage video from? They're booting the game from the S2 menu. Who has a copy of the game right now?

@KennyRyan Like what happened with Silksong. XD

@N00BiSH Too late!

I always wonder if this could just be when a rumor like this starts to get out, and then everybody circulates it and starts to get the same reporting from their inside sources. Like it's just traveling through the grapevine.
I'm hoping for it to be true anyway. I only wish it was tomorrow.

@eldersnake Seems a little murky. But you do you.

@Coffee-Waffle Yeah, never. Thanks, Nintendo.

@N00BiSH That means EVERYONE.

@KennyRyan When are they going to release more info? I feel like they've told us nothing about it. We've been waiting forever!

No physical, no buy. Right, everyone?
