@NicolausCamp It's kinda opposite with DVD's as they're supposed to be region-locked but there cases of some being region-free. I have one of the older release of Revolutionary Girl Utena from Software Sculptures that has the "All" code.

Blu-rays I see as being kinda "two-sided" or partially region-locked. As for 4KUHD, I'm not sure if companies are even allowed to lock them.

Only reason is because of mostly licensing crap but I don't even see that being enforced or anything.

I had to bring up HD-DVD. Since I don't even think they have any region coding at all. but if the format had stayed alive, I'm sure they've would've used a similar region code for HD-DVD.

@NicolausCamp Blu-Rays are both region-free & region-locked, but in a more simple way. 4KUHD are region-free. The same applies to HD-DVDs as well. (Yes, I said HD-DVD.)

DVD's are obviously region-locked. But there are rare cases of some being "Region 0" or "ALL". Now if a Blu-Ray has the "All" or "Region 0" then it's region-free.

But you can buy a region-free Blu-Ray player off Amazon or Ebay for a good price.
Just read up on this, I'm tired of saying "region-free"...

I might get the Steel book case. Now whether I get the DVD or Blu-ray, I dunno. I hope it's a combo release.

"inadvertently"...? How do you "inadvertently" remove these by mistake, Aspyr, I must ask. Am I expecting it to be an honest mistake?

Yeesh...Aspyr really need to get themselves sorted out big time.

I'm fine with both 30 & 60 fps. But not everyone is flexible like I am. I mean that's just facts & reality there. People have different preferences.

But one thing you can't deny is the visuals look heck as vibrant & pretty as it comes.

So I'm buying it. GC version is pricey as I don't know what.

@rjejr "Demaster"...huh...hm...myeah. I can see that catching on to be a term by itself. Much like de-make.

Last time I've played MK DS was...uh...2005. Yeah been that long...

You know...I thought it would be bonkers for him to be cast as Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic 3 but then so is Jim Carrey cast as Robotnik a few years back...

But hey...if Keanu Reaves can bring edginess in Shadow the hedgehog then so be it.

Sidenote: I meant that in a good way btw.

Supposedly that's good if it's selling that many. But the game just...doesn't catch my interest or anything. Crash Bandicoot was a series I've never gave as much as a glance up until I've played Crash: Wrath of Cortex. That's the game that drew me in.

None of the others did. Just THAT ONE game alone...Weird.

Never heard of him...

I always thought that all of Vanillaware's games looked really good. Odin's Sphere was the only Vanillaware title I've played on the PS2 back then at the time I also bought Disgaea 2 since both of them were on sale at Walmart or Target...I forgot which.

Now to get my red OG 3DS's hinge fixed-up & then it's time to get it modded to be region-free. My 2DS stays as it is.

That's my...to-do list for the time being anyways.

I'll never forget those times playing online on both 3DS & WiiU...

Huh...surprised that NIS even doing it. I might wait for a US release since I've been wanting to get Disgara 7.
EDIT: I should've meant Disgaea 7 Complete.

@HammerGalladeBro The only thing I can think of a costume for Knuckles is him wearing hat that he wore in Sonic OVA (Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie).

Ok. Wasn't expecting that to be a reality...

SEGA, you're making a very easy argument on why I'm still avoiding this game & why you're making bizarre choices for it too.

@Woderwick Now you got me thinkin' of that one ep. of The Simpsons when Homer goes to South America & he starts licking frogs.

Though it's usually toads...in real life.

I "WOULD" say PoP: The Forgotten Sands.But I played the PSP version, not the DS version.

The PSP version was the best one & had a good/decent story.

Looks nice. But at THAT PRICE???! Naw, not worth it. So it's a hard pass for me. I'm happy with my old retro touch lamp.

@JayJ It's honestly pathetic how this kinda thing is becoming more common.

@FoxMcCloud lol I'm 33 but I kinda feel old in a way. Funny but true!

Well, now that's HOW you a bundle release right. Still kinda disappointed that 3 isn't included since I didn't play that one nor the 4th. But this is a good buy for me.

I'll buy it in June.

This one is gonna need a lotta stitchin' before you can even call it a good patchwork.

I miss those days when we didn't have so much broken games on launch days or Day 1 patches or whatnot.

Now I sound like a angry old coot yelling at grass & squirrels.

Don't remind me of the Sonic OVA...DVD copies, released by ADV Films until they went under, go for ridiculous amount of money. I used to own 2 of them until one got messed-up & the other gone missing while moving. Yeesh...

Glad people still remember it & nice to see this show acknowledge it too

Meh...none of Capcom's ips ever caught my interests. Not even MegaMan. I've just never really tried clicking with them.

Dunno know why. Just is. I'm more inclined towards SEGA's ips more than anything.

@Bass_X0 I find that assessment kinda weird, if you ask me. Now if it's the Virtual Console then yeah I could agree.

But NSO? No...nonono...just no. I'm better off emulating than pay for a subscription service. Especially GB & NES games.

Looks interesting. I wasn't even aware that this title was released DSi Ware back then.

Now I really wanna play this. I'm a sucker for puzzle games.

Darn shame I missed out FF: 4 Heroes of Light on the DS. Same for FF III on the ds.

I did play Crystal Chronicles on the GC & Echoes of Time on DS. Then lastly I played FF Explorers on 3ds. Those 3 are my personal favs btw.

The few mainline FF games were on PS2, which I bought late in the years...

Yeah...definitely NOT for me. I couldn't get a hand on Fall Guys gameplay & I certainly won't click with this either.

So hard pass.

Nice to see Pokemon Trozei on there. I did enjoy playing that one on the DS.

Hard to say really...I stopped caring long ago. Plus, I wouldn't forget the base game with the DLC Expansion included physically (Shield/Sword & Scarlet/Violet). They aren't any better considering their retail price is...wait for it...close to $90. Almost to $100 if we're talking sales tax in mind. And boy...you got pain soup for your stomach & wallet.

Seems great just from reading the article. But this is the kind of game I can easily wait for a sale. Hopefully in summer. Not in a rush or anything.

I know there is a couple of Kung Fu Tea around Virginia Beach, VA. That city is always chock-full of places & stuff.

Though...this is a hard pass for me since I'm not really crazy for tea.

Part of me is hoping that something needs to change about this kind of crud from happening. But the other part of me knows this easier said than done.

It's amazing how of a mess this one turned out to be. I doubt this game can be saved anyways. Aspyr pretty much burned enough bridges.

Sheesh...surprised it hasn't already been on that list. Meanwhile, I still am peeved that SEGA's sci-fi RPG, Phantasy Star isn't in there as well...

Honestly this is blasphemy...imo. Maybe I am just complaining like a grumpy'ol grandpa...

Also why I buy SD cards in person rather online. Never had this issue at all. Heck, I even use Toshiba. Samsung, Lexar, & Sandisk brand SD cards.

Still doesn't stop me from having SD cards getting corrupted but that's a different issue.

@HeadPirate I use a variety of SD card brands: Samsung, Toshiba, & Lexar. Got, like, 20 of these things.

I didn't even know Samsung made their own SD cards. Nor Toshiba, for that matter.

I did owned the NES themed GBA SP...before I ended up losing when I was moving...

Darn shame it is. Now my DS OG is my only "GBA" system thru BC.

Just that I ain't dropping $60+ on a GBA cartridge. Knowing it will be snapped up by scalpers & then there's the long waiting period to ship. So...yeah.

Ridiculous as it sounds...but it's rather weird in a way. Especially considering Stories 2 has a standalone physical release.

Not that this bothers me in any way since I can just buy the standalone release instead. But...why do this in the 1st place anyways...??? Capcom logic I'll never understand...yeesh.

Suyu??? They had to choose a name like that...??? Let's hope it doesn't live up to that meaning as it sounds...

Playing it right now and...not sure if it's catching my interest...
Gotta play it more & then I'll come to decision or not.

@Kiwi_Unlimited Heck I'll go as far as to say the original 7th Dragon needs to be on Switch. A remake at most.

Looks like a hard pass to me. Virtua Racing has those vibes that I like.

But that's just me being me.

Um, Phantasy Star Zero?

Honestly, I don't know of what to think or say about this whole mess any more.

So many mixed feelings is all I can say.

@Dm9982 Wonderful recommendations! I'll have to get around trying them then.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Really tempted to try out both Temtem, Nexomon, & Cassette Beasts.

Been playing Pokemon for years & I really need a change of pace for once. So maybe this will scratch that itch. Who knows.

I'm wondering if this will affect Ryujinx too. Funny that Nintendo will go after Yuzu & not Ryujinx...

@westman98 You know Ryujinx exist too...right?

Honestly...I couldn't get into the Neptunia series even when many of them were coming to Vita, which I still own, & still didn't bother buying ANY of them.

Although I did plan on getting Neptunia vs SEGA Hard Girls. But even I passed on that one. A lotta folks hardly ever talk or mention about that one.
