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.
I think it's because this game was a turd when it was first released @SenseiDje. But this version has all the newly added modes and DLC that have released over the past two years. And many people think it's 100% better than the originally released game that most those reviews are probably based on. You should read the dates of the steam reviews? Well if steam reviews have dates on them that is.
This is the game that changed it all for me. I bought Guacamelee 1&2 off Eshop and 16 hours later it was announced that physical copies where on the way. Since then i haven't bought a digital only games for at least 6 months after launch and only if it was on sell. Thank you Guacamelee One Two Punch you have saved me tons of money and added tons of previously digital only games to my physical game collection. Oh yea and my backlog thanks you too.
Thanks for the info @w00dm4n just kinda info i was looking for. But if the file size ends up being that big i might just pass as it would take up a lot space on my Microsd and take about 24 hours to download. But then again i do like Superman & Crackdown. Thanks again.
I understand thanks @ryancraddock can't report on what you don't know. And thanks on the info of other systems. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
You've played this game so can you tell me how this game makes money @w00dm4n? Aka is it by paying for cosmetics, to win, extra missions/ characters ect.ect.
Sorry if it seems i'm singling you out @ryancraddock but all previews IMO by all Nintendo Lifers should mention if know, how the game makes money. Aka is it by paying for cosmetics, to win, extra missions/ characters ect.ect.
Yea Yooka Laylee is the only one i wanted physically but bought digitally instead because of the price($59 with tax & shipping). And i live in the U.S where Best Buy sells over 80% of Limited Run Games Switch releases including Yooka Laylee which saves you $8 so i could've bought it there.(no shipping cost at Best Buy).
You absolutely might be right @ralphdibny as someone who buys over 60% of the Limited Run Games Switch releases i did notice that the Power Rangers limited Edition was one of their more/most expensive limited releases(therefore could of been/been seen as overpriced).
I never could watch video game competitions for much more than few minutes before becoming bored. Watching them reminds me of my 6 year old niece who will watch hours upon hours of others playing video games and playing with toys on youtube if allowed.
Some might like this game, but apparently not people who shop a Limited Run Games. As this game took forever to sell out in the limited edition (3,000 games).
Cool i was hoping this would come to Switch. But i want the New Tekken over any fighting game released or releasing for Switch. I have fond memories of Tekken 3. Before Tekken 3 and the Playstation people were considered nerds, geeks, ect. ect. for playing video games. Tekken 3 and the Playstation brought in the age of video games being the norm. I remember everybody in high school playing it.
I've got this for my Megaretron HD a middle of the line Genesis hardware clone. So i'm set, best $52 i've spent at Walmart in a long time. I also prefer hardware clones over software emulation clones.
How is it nobody can get this right? Where there no good racing games on the PS2, PS3, or XBOX360? Any racing game on any of these systems should run great on the Switch.
The car/vehicle in the Japanese box art couldn't of been ripped straight from Total Recall @dartmonkey. As Total Recall released in theaters in the 90's and not the 80's when Contra U.S/Japan was released.

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.
