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.
How they didn’t have YouTube ready at launch defies belief. I’m happy with my Switch 2 but this was very disappointing as it’s the app/game I’ve played the most. Furthermore I can’t have it on both my OG Switch and Switch 2. Why, when it’s free?
Switch 2 physicals are pretty much dead from 3rd parties. Obviously if they release physical on Switch 1 but not Switch 2 the cost of the Switch 2 carts must be astronomical
Nintendo is THE problem with physical for Switch 2. They only offer a very expensive 64GB cart, they need to offer smaller cheaper carts e.g a 16GB option. Hopefully they do in future.
$250 and the game is not even on the cart with some stupid figurines. You know what they say “A fool and his money are soon parted”. It’s funny when a game costs more than the system, as a Switch Lite is substantially cheaper lmao.
At least he’s being honest. So why hate on him? If you want Mario Kart World you will have to find a way to get that $80 too. Tone deaf or not thems the facts. You need to also hate on Nintendo for bumping their games up from $60 to $70 with TOTK and only a couple years later to $80 with MKW. Greed is the norm
Paid $20 for this on the 3DS with awesome 3D visuals as a Nintendo Selects title. Gobsmacked that nearly 10 years later they release the same crusty old game and triple the price minus the awesome 3D and it didn’t even run well. That said I will buy Bananza.
Arkham Knight and Civilization really need an update due to both long load times, crashes, input latency and frame rates dropping below 20 frames per second

Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Making The Jump To Switch 2 This October
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.

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.

Re: Switch 2 'Welcome Tour' Estimated File Size Revealed By Nintendo
@SBandy1 As much as I love Nintendo they are stubborn and don’t like to admit mistakes as they don’t like “saving face”. Sigh. Sad but true.
