First time in years I won’t watch a Direct. I saw the first Kirby Direct and the graphics were so basic. The shopping mall area looked like a mobile game. Oh well.
They’re so cheapskate by not adding voice. According to the recent leak this game cost $13 million to produce. It sells for $60 on the eshop and it’s expected to sell 20 million copies which is $1200 million of revenue ($1.2 billion) It’s ridiculous that there’s no voice acting. Profits to the extreme
Level 5 show their games way too early and then constantly delay them. What’s going on with Decapolice and the Yokai Watch spin-off Holy Horror Mansion? Things have gone real quiet there.
Their sales strategy excludes me. Sales data for game key cards have been disappointing according to industry analysts. RE games take up alot of precious storage space so I won’t buy unless we get a proper physical. I wont buy Mortal Kombat or NBA2K even when they’re stupidly cheap on the eshop for this reason.
Stay tuned for September 2026 announcement where Level 5 delay it until 2027. Wasn’t Level 5’s Decapolice originally supposed to release in 2024. Where the heck is that game?
Do you think a company that’s already made that much profit would do this just to make even more money? What a stupid comment. Well if they’ve got so much money then why are games prices going up? A. Because they want more money.
It’s expensive for 2 very old games with little new content but I’ve always wanted to play these games so I’ll purchase them. Plus it’s a real physical and not key card BS
It goes to show people don’t mind paying a bit extra for real physical. Even if they offer key cards cheaper they’re not popular because we’ve got the eshop if we want digital. Square Enix and their ilk need to stop cheapskating us and being anti-consumer and sell real physicals. This nickel and diming the public needs to backfire.
Is there a method to Furukawa’s madness, or is it madness plain and simple? Not the way I would expect a company that is obsessed with profits would act.
I’ve got the real physical on Switch so not gonna double dip especially with the key card BS. Might be interested if they release a digital upgrade at low cost
No extra content, why charge $1? The PS5 version is not $1 extra. What’s the corporate spin to justify this? It may be only $1 but it’s still a dog act
I’ll buy it if it’s a real physical only. I’d probably by Metafor if it gets released on Switch 2 digital as I want it real bad. Persona 3 my want is not quite as much.
Yawn a trenchcoat lol. The graphics look poor and low resolution. ZA looks rough. Gamefreak need to hire some talent, they’re certainly rich enough. Unlikely to be day one for me if at all. Definitely gonna wait for reviews
Game key cards are beneficial for fans? How patronising that he’s treating fans with such contempt. More spin than a politician. I’d prefer them to be honest and say they believe it’s more beneficial for their profit margins instead of treating us like we’re brainless morons.
Finally it’s being acknowledged that Arkham Knight has issues. I’m seeing all these YouTube videos saying how great it is on Switch 2 and it’s not being acknowledged that it CONSTANTLY CRASHES
Level-5 are abyssmal for launching games without a delay. I think this particular games has been delayed 157 times, jokes aside it is beyond a joke lol. On the positive side the delays were worth it for Fantasy Life i. Still…..
Probs should’ve got this when it was a couple of bucks on the eshop but that’s just fomo talking. I remember when The Lost Child announced it was getting delisted they put it on a deep discount before pulling it. Would’ve been nice if this happened here. I’ll skip it, no big loss.

Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More

Re: Ubisoft Employee Explains Why Star Wars Outlaws Is A Game-Key Card
Cyberpunk did it so Ubisoft are just lazy. I hate their corporate political BS spin which is just lame excuses. Up your game Ubisoft.
Re: Square Enix Details Octopath Traveler 0's Switch 2 Performance And Resolution
@OpheliaDynamight Giving the physical collectors advance notice that they’re being shafted is ok even though they’re being shafted? Sure.
Re: Square Enix Details Octopath Traveler 0's Switch 2 Performance And Resolution
No upgrade path is pretty disgusting for physical collectors. Very anti-consumer. These companies need to do and be better.
Re: Opinion: HD-2D Might Be Old News, But Octopath 0's City Building Has Me Buzzing
In the sequel to ni no kuni I enjoyed the city building aspect so looking forward to it
Re: CD Projekt Reveals 75% Of Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Sales Were Physical In Opening Month
It goes to show people don’t mind paying a bit extra for real physical. Even if they offer key cards cheaper they’re not popular because we’ve got the eshop if we want digital.

Re: Hitman: World Of Assassination Updated On Switch 2, Here Are The Patch Notes

Re: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter Switch 2 Edition 'Upgrade Pack' Confirmed
@johnedwin It’s not about that. It’s about corporate greed and BS. It’s unnecessary.

Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Will Launch On Switch 2 In 2026

Re: Nintendo Still Doesn't Want You To Talk About The Switch Online Playtest Program
Maybe by putting in an NDA (of sorts) it will create hype, media interest such as this article and exclusivity.
