@TimelessJubilee I'm guessing ignoring or NOT buying the GKC releases is too much effort for some folks or something like that.
At this point, I'm kinda "numb" to the constant complaints about game key cards. That's my way "tuning out" tbh...I dunno what I'm talking about really...
@The_Nintendo_Pedant The Windows PC port? I keep forgetting about those...one of them was released on PS2 in 2008 or 2007. The original one. And then there's Panzer Dragon Orta. I'm surprised that Sega didn't even bother bring that to modern systems. The only other way to play Orta, aside from emulation, is the BC on Xbox One. I played that one before only one time.
Yeah...definitely a major difference right there. Although Kirby games...atleast the newer ones being 30 fps doesn't bother me honestly. But still...it's certainly a improvement. The DOF effect is noticeablly better on S2 obviously.
I'll be honest though...I love the Saturn control pad but the other controllers that go for that style seem to miss the whole point of what made the Saturn pad so great.
@SillyG That's the funny thing. Because while in Japan that Disgaea 7 Complete got it's own physical release, those who already got the vanilla version can buy the "Complete" dlc for more a few yen. (I think folks said somewhere $5 in terms of value). And that's for all the versions: PS4, PS5, & Switch. I'm assuming PC version too.
But here...it's a Switch 2 exclusive. And that means it's a game key-card and also means folks will have to double-dip as well at premium price.
At this...as I mentioned this a couple of times...I'm sticking to importing the JP version on either or both on PS4 & Switch. Even if it's in japanese...I don't care...but I do care about having the full game on cart. But I don't want to complain about key cards each time a article mentions it. Too many folks doing that enough as it is...So i'll just leave it at that.
@Purgatorium Mostly because of spoilers. That's a majority of why folks have this issue. I can understand not wanting to be spoiled but some will take it to the most ridiculous extremes. Almost to the point of being incredibly petty. for me...it's one thing to see spoilers but it's another to experience the game itself when I actually play it.
Why am I NOT surprised...? We all expected this to happen. It shouldn't be a surprise anymore. This has been like this since the 2010's or earlier...Honestly...
I've grown numb and jaded to this stuff already by this point.
As someone who played all 3 of the DS Cornershop games...the issue was that the mechanics were never explained properly nor were there tutorials for said minigames. At least in the 1st one, the Dentist and Laundromat Cleaners were the easiest.
Also...I think it's time for me to stop coming and commenting in these articles. Cause it's not doing me any favors and I'm a big supporter for physical media...
I'm not going to fall for this digital BS. i'm sick of it. But at this point...I think I should take a hiatus for while. Just for the sake of my sanity.
@Duncanballs then you oughta check out on Blu-ray.com and then come back to me. That's why i'll be glad to retire from gaming. I couldn't care less about physical games dying...i'm done.
Look at how releases there are and maybe talk with the folks there. many buy 4K discs movies. Think about it...and think about it real good. i'm not buying into the idea that Blu-ray sale are declining. Not to mention that DVD's are still making up the large percentage. Look into that also.
@Duncanballs um...I think you might wanna rethink that last part with movies. Last i saw...plenty of companies are still releasing films on 4k and Blu-ray by the numbers. might wanna do some research first.
Games...i can see physical media dying off. but don't think it'll be the same for movies. they take up less space depending how they're compressed or uncompressed. Plus...and many will often have an extra disk for...you know...special features and stuff. It's one of the reason why i by movies more than games nowadays. plus...blu-rays are cheaper anyways.
Still the visuals remind me of the Saturn era games. Especially that one particular horror game, Deep Fear. only because of the visuals. Saturn 3d games are noticeably more blocky than PS1 & N64 games are.
How about a Rayman Origins+Rayman Legends combo pack? With Rayman Origins having the content & features from the Vita version? The PS Vita had both on 1 cart back in 2014.
Tsk...well screw you LRG. I really don't need them anyways since I hardly buy anything from them...I guess this is end of my gaming hobby....
been thinking about it long and hard anyways for the past 6 months. And I think that's the best option for me. At this point...if physical games die off then let it be so...I'm sticking with movies. I can trust companies not half-boiled things when it comes to adding content...Aside from transfer quality of said films...
I'm surprised the Switch 2 joy-cons are a bit lower than the Switch joy-cons...unless I'm wrong here...
EDIT: Nvm...I looked closer and it's actually higher. Obviously...i didn't take my time to read the article...
@Grimley141 Doesn't mean that i have to accept digital. the best solution for me is to quite gaming all together. that's it. I'll stick to movies if I can.
Hm...I mean...there's no doubt it will be amazing but I don't think it'll match up to MK8 Deluxe in terms of sheer content and scope. But I think Ninty will fix that with free updates...I think.
@Spider-Kev I would've seen them sell any but where i live at...I didn't see any of them do. The only places to buy movies is Walmart and Barnes & Nobles...Otherwise it's either ebay or Amazon I buy from.
@BANJO Basically GAME and Gamestop are no different. Then i would expect them to start selling movies next...I think Gamestop would be doing that anyways...by now.
@Shade_Koopa Maybe it isn't for you but it is for me. That's why I'm quitting gaming all together. I'm sticking with Blu-ray movies since they're cheaper than game altogether.

Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Won't Make It Easy For Physical Collectors In Japan
Yeah...definitely gonna retire from gaming after getting the Switch 2. this crap is already pushed me to buy less & less games any ways.
This why i'm sticking to blu-ray movies. At least everything is on disc and you don't have to worry about anything missing.
