No new content just a performance improvement so why is this not free? They are nickle and diming us which is what I expect from a scummy company like EA, disappointed that it’s Nintendo and Monolith Soft. Not impressed.
The score’s going to depend if you are going to play mainly multiplayer or single player. If you’re mainly going to play multiplayer then an 8 or a 9 is likely to be your score, but if you’re a single player gamer then $60 for 3 hours of content you’re probably going to score it a 2 or a 3
This is a disgusting and anti consumer practice and a slap in the face to diehard fans who paid full price for this when it launched on the Switch expecting them to double dip instead of charging them $10 or so for an upgrade. I wouldn’t even expect this level of evil from EA.
@AussieMcBucket Yeah with no upgrade path. Compared to Bandai with Digimon Story TT with free upgrade it’s very disappointing and anti consumer. Be better Square Enix. That said I have the Switch 1 physical and playing it on Switch 2 and it looks good and runs smoothly with short loading times
I have it on PS4 but it’s in my backlog. Would’ve definitely bought it if it was a real physical so I guess I’ll be buying Indiana Jones and the Great Circle instead
I might be in the minority but I’m kinda over the HD-2D graphics now. Square have done it to death. Keep it for the Octopath Traveler series but I much prefer the graphical style they went with for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.
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

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is Getting A Themed MicroSD Express Card
I don’t trust the 29.2gb size as another upcoming Capcom game Monster Hunter Stories 3 has the exact same size listed
Re: Feature: 40 Games We'd Love To See On Switch 2
Far Cry 6 would be good
Re: Limited Edition Resident Evil Requiem Watches Launch Next Month
Looks kind of generic to me. You know what they say “A fool and his money are soon parted”.

Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More
I love Nintendo but to be honest they were boring af. If they continue with short films I hope they’re more interesting than that yawnfest

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: 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.
