@tameshiyakuif if one is merely “considering” a switch 2 upgrade in the future as you say, they waste 8€ by going with the switch 2 version if they never use the game on a switch 2. Choosing to risk a small 2€ upgrade premium (in your region) does not justify saying that people are uninformed or not bothering to read
Your region also isn’t the only one. In some places in the world, the cost of the upgrade is effectively the difference between the two versions. So even less of a reason to risk paying for the S2E for those people
@tameshiyaku they did in fact bother to read. They know the Switch 2 Edition can be played on Switch 1. The S2E costs more money, so they are saving money by going the Switch 1 route.
If they really want to upgrade to the switch 2 version down the road they can pay the small upgrade fee. No need to “double dip”. There’s minimal reason reason for them to pay more money now if they don’t want the switch 2 version
@Octane I keep going back and forth on that lol. Frankly, zooming in makes it seems like the bigger “bump” in the B is on the top (whereas a normal Joy-Con has the bigger bump on bottom), so perhaps it’s mirrored vertically? Or the image quality is just confusing me
Wow to be fair, it looks like they’ve fixed this bug already. My game updated and is now allowing me to continue my save - just this morning I had the error upon loading
@Majora101 @rjejr
I never disagreed with any of that. Initially, majora was implying that unless you paid extra money there was no way to get these 200+ Pokémon. Majora also made it clear that trading for ‘mons back in the days of X/Y was acceptable. That was my only grievance
@Majora101 Again, these 200+ Pokémon will be supported in the games for free. As I said, you will be able to trade for them. So you can catch them all, all while paying $60
@Majora101 The article says the free update allows anyone to have access to these Pokémon. Sure you can’t get catch them without the expansion pass, but you’ve never been able to catch every single Pokémon without trading / paying money for additional game(s) anyways
Edit: Thanks for the comment update 😉
“it's entirely possible to play online with each other, although it's impossible to play multiplayer locally using the same software across two consoles“ For 1 digital game - what makes it impossible to use different accounts to play local wireless, when playing online together works fine?
I liked a year or so ago when Nintendo life did sort of a “best game(s) of the previous month”. It could help cut through the clutter of all these games releasing and give something that acts as a good summary.
I would not say that gen 4 pokemon are "recent". If my memory serves, they came out 10 years ago or so, which is approx the amount of time it took other generations to get remakes.
To the good sir that I know is on here: I shall definitely be downloading totem topple, and I appreciate the sale and price point, as hopefully it shall still get me 10 gold coins on my Nintendo.
@ThomasBW84 Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Majora's Mask all have 5% currently. Yet only Majora's Mask has a bar that is longer than the bars that represent 0/1%. Is something going wrong with the poll?
@Mega719 well considering it has now been changed to "The iconic action beat 'em up series' second entry arrives on Wii U" after me and rdrunner1178 commented about it...
