Since we don't get this in the west, i don't feel so bad buying all those Genesis Multicarts from China. Just remember spend the extra $3 and get the battery save.
Let me be the first to say great article. These kinda articles and other journalistic articles are what i miss most about the print video game magazine days.
IMO this should of stayed in the oven for another month or two or even three. Maybe that would of given it the time it needed. And man what a month to try to compete for consumers money.
I haven't even played 2019 which i bought on an Eshop sell for $2 yet. But it's good to see it's an improvement over last years game. If it goes on sell for like $2 again during the NBA finals like 19 did last year i'll definitely pick it up.
Why do i have to take my Switch out of the dock to put it in airplane mode? It would also be nice to be able to turn off online parts of a game like doom or dqb2 so i can still play the games and download on Switch too. As it is now you have to choose.
I would love for Nintendo or somebody else to make a light gun that works on modern tv's for the Switch. I know it can be done as it already been done for another system.
If they don't announce a western release by the time this comes out. I'll be getting this physically from Play Asia or digitally from the Japanese Eshop.
I clicked on this article by accident because the left button on my mouse keeps sticking! Good thing i can replace my mouse without replacing my computer too.
American Market = All of The European Countries Combined. How does The gaming Industry reward It's Biggest Market In The World? The Answer Is It Doesn't.
Edit: And IMO The Europeans Zelda Limited Edition Hurts The Most.
I'm in the same boat as @Aurumonado in that i buy physically when ever i can. IMO @Dazza the Headlines for these bi weekly articles should be changed to What Do You Plan On Buying This Week or something like that. As to include everybody not just digital buyers.
@KingMike Raise is a digital gift card site and comes with a money back guarantee. And if you buy from someone on Ebay with a high feedback score and lots of feedbacks it's highly unlikely that they have sold to 100's of happy customers and just now decided to start ripping people off. Pluss Ebay has a 30 day money back guarantee which i had to use once when i bought a physical Switch game from China. But it was my fault for buying from China and from someone with 0 feedbacks.
I buy Eshop cards off Raise and/or Ebay. I save an average of 15% to 20% everytime i decide to buy. I would recommend doing this to everybody. You add this to Eshop sales and you can save some real money.
EDIT: Just remember Ebay charges sales tax now for almost everywhere on 3rd party Eshop cards & wait to buy on Raise until they send/give you coupons.
Wow that's a low score. I was expecting around an 8 like most other sites are giving it. But to me it really doesn't matter. Because i'm still getting it a soon as it gets a discount or physical release.
FYI: The Western versions come with a poster, sticker set, and manual. Plus a keychain if you preorder & are the uncut version. The Asian (multi language) & Japanese versions do not/are not.
I'm so glad this reviewed well. I'm just waiting for the U.S physical release. I already ordered the limited edition one from Strictly Limited Games but I wouldn't dare open that copy.
You could take out the game rating box and text @Mycroft but most people would recognize the art from their region so you can't take out patriotic pride completely.
I live in the U.S but must say i like the Europe cover the best. It's very reserved in its' art (IMO) and leaves a lot to the imagination like a good Horror movie poster or book cover. Sometimes less is more.
IMO all games should have a free demo. Two games i thought i would never buy where Dragon Quest Builder 2 & Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu. But i enjoyed their demos so much that i bought and enjoyed both games.
I got this info this morning in an Email and me personally i'm psyched. I think the $99.99 bundle is totally worth it (A Evercade + 2 Multi Game, Game Carts).
Why do these headlines and articles always say and digital sells on the rise? It's only logical that as more and more games go digital only that digital sells would rise.
I'm glad to hear this because although i love Zelda games. This was to much of change from the Zelda formula for me to just spend $25 to see if i liked it or not.
Who would want to play a game where skills and skills alone determines who wins? My favorite type of fighting games are the ones where you just hit each other till the timer runs out and then you roll a virtual dice to see who wins.

Re: Review: Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy Of The Duelist: Link Evolution - A Decent Card Battler For Your Switch
I think this is free on Steam but not forsure.
EDIT: No it's $19.99 on Steam so a portable physical copy that you can resell for $12 more isn't bad IMO.
