Nice, I picked this up but didn't play it yet. Glad I didn't because now it sounds like I really should.

Doesn't matter because fk GKC's! I refuse to buy anything on the game key cards, and refuse to even buy it digitally out of spite. I guess it's a good thing because it's saved me money and letting me get to my backlog lol.

Well if this physical version materializes and is not a GKC as they said they wouldn't do, then I will buy this game day 1. Not a game I'd normally purchase, but at this point I'm skipping so many games because cheap companies keep going GKC so I have extra gaming money to spare so I'll support any and all third party games that release a true physical copy.

Hey Square Enix.... You need to learn from Rockstar! This is how's it's done! Because of this I will be picking up a Switch 1 physical copy, that coincidentally is at a good price right now.

Hopefully they release a true physical copy too for the Switch 2 and show again how it's done, compared to every 3rd party GCK with the exception of Cyberpunk and the Story of Seasons game. The only two 3rd party games I think that got physical releases.

Either way, free upgrade (or heck id even pay a small cost) to Switch 2 is a good option. Wish we could get that for some squeenix games, but they're stubborn idiots.

Game Key Card = hard pass! That includes digitally as well. I will NOT purchase this game period! Fk you Nintendo!

@floxi that is the only benefit of key cards, but some of us want proper physical and key cards are an abomination. Takes up full space on the console like digital while still needing a blank useless key card to carry around.

If I want to use my internal storage I'll buy digital, but I and many others want physical as collectors and to save storage space on the console itself.

@NeoGee 100% agree with you and do the same.

It's too bad most are only releasing game key cards instead of true physical copies, so they'll all be games I avoid even digitally.

I played the heck out of Cyberpunk on PC, but had to support CDPR releasing true physical format on Switch 2 so bought it and played it again.

I just wish every other third party company would stop being cheap and release proper physical copies too. Their loss though, I'll find other games to buy lol.

This may not have been on my radar at first but coming to properly real physical release means I will buy and support this. I am happy to see Sega doing this and they will get my business.

Hey Square Enix, take note you fools. Now if only Sega would do this for all of their games and reconsider already released games to get a physical edition to come.

This price is absurd! More so when in Canada it's $30. Conversion should bring it to $27 so we get even more nickel and dimed up here.

Nintendo can go fk themselves, this price as is at $20 USD is way too high for what this adds and when they convert to CAD and then tack on a few extra bucks is just scummy as fk.

I'm not touching this dlc unless it goes on sale at 50% off, otherwise Nintendo isn't seeing my money for this.

This guy is delusional and dumber than a sack of doorknobs.

Then I guess it's another squeenix game I won't be purchasing. Switch 2 is on garbage game key cards which is a deal breaker, and Switch 1 version has no upgrade path either then squeenix can go fk themselves. Proper physical or no money from me.

FFT is getting the upgrade path, so why not anything else? You wanna be cheap and not release proper physical copies for Switch 2 then I won't buy your games not even on other platforms. Squeenix is officially with EA and Ubisoft for companies I no longer support. Haven't bought an EA game in over a decade. Ubisoft I stopped after AC Valhalla, so don't think I need your games either squeenix because I don't.

Goodbye squeenix, it was fun while it lasted but that has come to an end it seems.

This price is absurd! Doesn't help to get physical I have to buy both when I have Mario Galaxy on the 3D All-Stars, so now I need to buy it again just to get Mario Galaxy 2 on a physical cartridge, and at a ridiculously overpriced package!

First with the Game Key Cards, now this? JFC Nintendo, you're really starting to push me away from console gaming completely with this garbage. This should be no more than $50!

@BrokenCiv 4 people. I had the physical copy pre-ordered in case it was half-decent, but I returned it (unopened of course) after reading reviews on how bad the game was. You can safely update the number to 4, haha

Well, if they want my money they need to release it in proper actual physical format and then I will buy it. Game key card is a hard pass and I won't support any game that is released on game key cards and I won't buy it digitally either.

Meh, squeenix can forget about my business until real physical for Switch 2 is released more they give Switch 1 copy an upgrade path. It can be paid for nominal amount but they screwed physical collectors hard so fk them and this game.

I would buy this in a heartbeat! I loved it back in the day and would love to see it remastered.

At the price Hori is asking it should be a 1080p camera like the official Nintendo camera. Only supplying a 480p camera is a joke unless they cut the price by at least half! Especially for an accessory that is niche and not required and imo barely adds anything to the console or Switch 2 games.

I'd have bought it because it's a pirahna plant to add to my gaming area, but for me anyway I really don't see myself using something like this but for that price and a 480p camera I won't buy it even for the appearance unless the price is drastically cut.

Hori used to make good accessories 2 decades ago, now they're overpriced cheap garbage riding on the name.

@larryisaman ya that Dq3 upgrade but not for 1&2 is ridiculous and squeenix has now lost me completely as a customer. ***** game key cards, I'll never support those and any company releasing on those.

@LuigiFanno1 and yet the prices aren't any lower so....

Ok so like DQ 1&2 2D-HD Remaster i guess I'm not buying them. I'm fine buying Switch 1 copy if it was getting an upgrade path so I can have Switch 2 and physical, but this decision AGAIN by square enix shows how put of touch and greedy they are. Yet it was announced DQ 3 2D-HD Remaster is getting a Switch 2 upgrade, so why not this and the 1&2 Remaster? Even FFT is getting an upgrade path ffs.

What a bunch of morons at SE!

Don't want Switch 2 physical? Fine, but gice Switch 1 an upgrade path ffs! Their loss then, not mine since I have a backlog and even more future games willing to accept my money and time. SE is now put alongside the likes of EA and Ubisoft as never supporting ever again.

Guess my Switch 2 is exclusively for Nintendo first party games and any third party who (like CDPR) actually gives physical collectors a proper physical release. Oh and SE, don't think I'll buy your games on Steam instead, I just won't be buying your games at all ever again on any platform just like EA and Ubisoft.

Goodbye SE! Until you learn the error of your ways, I'm no longer a customer. If you choose to change this ridiculous path you're on then I'll reconsider.

@Kneppy18 no because you have full game size taking up the little storage space we have which is a downside all the while still having to pop a game car din the system. It's an absolutely garbage system and Nintendo should never have introduced these game key cards.

No real physical release then you don't get my money! Plenty of other games or things I can spend it on then. I refuse to support game key cards and any publisher using these I won't even buy the shop version, I'll (out of spite) ignore these games altogether. That and the game key card version for Switch 2 costs more? What a fkn joke!

@libersolis that's why I hate game key cards. I still need to insert a physical piece of useless plastic in my system while still using full storage space the game requires. It's a fkn abomination!

So Switch 2 version has no real physical version, just digital and the ridiculous game key cards, and now they say Switch 1 won't have an upgrade path? Ok then good job Square, you lost a sale and a general customer because I was going to buy Switch 1 physical copy of the game but now I'll just hard pass altogether.

I will NOT buy game key cards, only real physical games. So to take away any sort of upgrade path for the Switch 1 copy is just wrong. So now you're like Sega when it comes to Switch 2 how they did this same garbage, and possibly Capcom but I have to see where they choose to go. Meaning I'll never support and buy your games again.

Their is absolutely NO reason an upgrade path can't be made possible so stop being greedy fks! I have a backlog and their are plenty of other games coming out so I don't need your games if this is your behaviour and how you treat gamers who want physical games.

@Teksette Ya I won't lie, it is much more addictive than I expected. It's a fun little game so far. A welcome change of pace I needed from my usual Star Citizen, ESO, Helldivers 2 and then MKW and Cyberpunk on Switch 2. Those have been my recents, but this game though I load up daily since it arrived.

@Teksette LOL same, I got my copy 4 days ago from Japan now I see this. Oh well no biggie with the upgrade for cheap.

Of course after I imported the Switch 1 now they announce Switch 2 physical lol. Oh well thankfully the Switch 2 upgrade was only a few bucks and does the same thing so it's just minus the red cart, but glad to hear they're actually making a physical copy for Switch 2 and not using those game key card garbage.

@DetJayT I get they have the right to ban and even brick, but to me the bricking part is too far by making it completely unusable. That hardware now belongs to the user and they should still have access to use it even if just offline with physical media, or if they choose homebrew it's their hardware. It's a slippery slope and both sides I understand, and I hate cheaters and dont condone piracy but the hardware shouldn't be completely bricked if they have that ability to render it inoperable. So banning sure no problem, truly bricking it is a slippery slope.

@jsty3105 Ya true, they likely misused the word, typical media these days. You make a good point.

@jsty3105 oh, I read another article a couple days ago or late last week that some had fully been bricked. Maybe they used the wrong word or I misread but pretty sure it said "bricked". I'll try to find that article later and re-read it.

That said, it is in the TOS that they can brick consoles, and that shouldn't be the case.

If none have been bricked then great, bans fine.

@DetJayT oh I know others have done this and it's usually blocking online access but not a full bricking of the system. Modding it shouldn't get bricked and totally unusable because if someone paid for it, it's theirs. If they mod to cheat then block online access, but should still be usable offline since it's not a leased or rented item, it's owned and now the buyers personal property.

I don't mod or cheat, etc so it would never affect me, but I don't agree with bricking systems.

I'm glad to see this being challenged. It would never affect me anyway, but it's still absurd. Unless they give the consoles away for free they should not have this ability to brick consoles.

No proper physical release is a no-buy. These key-cards are BS and I won't support them, and out of spite I won't buy the same title(s) digital either. Real physical or no buy for me.

This is great, but sadly I bought all 3 from Limited Run Games. Wishing I didn't now if I knew this was coming lol.

This should be a no brainer, it has to be in the works. If not, they're clearly a little bit on the stupid side lol.

Ya Sega can go fk themselves. They truly did shaft their customer base with this half-a**ed port. Their is no reason other than pure greed not to have an upgrade option.

Sega has increasingly been calling to ea and Unisys levels of bs and after this, and the only supporting game key cards it looks like I'm never buying another Sega game.

I don't support game key cards, so any company using only those won't get my business and I'll ignore those games ever on the shop. Not having an upgrade for the Switch 1 is low and their greed hopefully will be their downfall.

The price is absurd! I'll go with the Skull & Co / Savage Raven or a JSAUX case for half the price (or less) and works just as good if not better. Genki are high thinking this case is worth the asking price when at this price point I can get much better options.

@Stormcloudlive wow watched most of that so far and I'm impressed at their efforts and how they turned that game around.

@Stormcloudlive oh I had no idea they went back and completely recreated it to fix the Switch port. Glad to hear it was improved.

LOL these publishers are idiots the because I for one refuse to support these game key cards and any publisher that uses them. If a publisher uses these and does not offer a true physical copy of the game then out of spite I won't buy your game on the key card or shop period! So ya keep thanking Nintendo lol, you're losing my business and I'm sure many others feel the same because I mostly see backlash and dissatisfaction towards these key cards.

This game ran worse than Ark? Because Ark was absolutely beyond terrible and unacceptable that the retailer understood and gave me a refund the day after it came out lol, that game was an utter piece of dog s***!

@KociolekDoSyta Oh I remember all of that "fun stuff" lol, and ya it's helped us to be prepared for current days, but ya unfinished games drive me nuts. Companies shouldn't be allowed to get away with that, and because of that I no longer pre-order games except for the odd ones like TotK and stuff like that.

As for ZX Spectrum you mentioned to @dskatter, I never had that one though lol. Intellivision, Atari 2600, C64, Amiga, etc but not ZX or the VIC-20 that dskatter mentioned. I knew of them, didn't actually have them though.

@KociolekDoSyta omg I felt like the last person ever who knows what C64 and growing up with that lol. Had so much fun as a kid on my old C64.

@Anti-Matter ah fair enough, gotta give ps5 some cozy game love too lol, and if it was a bit cheaper then even better cuz we gotta save anywhere we can these days. I checked conversion rates and seems your price if it was Canadian looks to be about $10 cad more than we pay and in Canadian our conversion is somewhat bad so that sucks, definitely buy the cheapest you can find then!

@Anti-Matter I recall reading the Switch version will get an upgrade for a small cost to Switch 2 so if you want physical you should be ok getting the Switch version, play for now then play on Switch 3 upgraded and you'll have the game itself on cartridge. Otherwise ya I wouldn't be confident a Switch 2 physical will have the game on the cart. I refuse to support those game key cards.

@Keyblade-Dan I was about to make the exact same comment.

This article is a joke right?

Seriously,nit every game needs free fall from insane heights with no damage. Sure I agree geralt falling a few meters and taking massive damage is a bit much, but he also shouldn't be able to fall 500 meters and survive without a scratch.

Every game is different, this adds immersiveness to some games and a challenge.

ROFL that "Will it run edition" price is a joke right? Who the fk would pay that? It looks cool but no more than $150 tops cool, cuz running on the box is nothing special and not worth the extra cost lol. LRG is on crack.
