Glad to see that I'm not the only one that got their physical copy early. I think this might be the first time Strictly Limited beat the digital release date.
I'm hesitant on this title. I really wanted to like the first game, but it felt extremely repetitive by the end of it. If this one is more of the same gameplay with largely reused environments, I might have to pass.
I went to buy this last night, only to find that it was removed from the eshop. Hopefully it gets added back to the store soon. Had I known it would vanish, I would have purchased this before the new Kirby.
@Yannis This might be one of those times when it is better to buy the digital version, if you want all of the content. I think 27 songs are locked behind buying either the digital deluxe or digital premium version of the game. I say this as someone that rarely buys digital copies, but did on this occasion.
I need to find my copy of Diofield, after I finish Octopath Traveler 2. I have been meaning to play this, but life and other new releases keep getting in the way.
@Joekun hopefully you feel better today and are able to play it without issue. Is there something about this particular remaster that is causing it or is that not uncommon for you?
@Joekun you were able to preorder and pick up a copy from Best Buy? It would only let me choose shipping. Thanks to UPS screwing up and sending it to the wrong place, I am sadly still waiting.
If this was a Switch re-release of Toy Soldiers; War Chest with the He-Man, Assassin's Creed, and GI Joe DLC, then I would consider it. But I am definitely not paying that much for an HD version of the original Toy Soldiers.
Yep. Bought Ikagura Hypergun Edition on clearance and put it on my backlog. Now that game is going for $300 on Ebay, and I can't bring myself to open it.
I really want to give the title of best musou to Hyrule Warriors 2 or Persona, but I honestly think it belongs to Samurai Warriors 5. That game nailed the art style, story mode, and combat.
@TommiKinder It really is a shame, as I remember them being advertised as part of the Switch lineup near launch. I eventually gave up on them ever coming over and imported a copy and tried playing it with Google Translate. Do not recommend that approach. Too many madeup words for the translation app to work properly.
Want it but hesitant. Limited Run is bad enough with turn around times, but some of these other publishers are even worse. As it is, I've been waiting over a year for Strictly Limited's Turrican Anthology to come out, despite originally having a ship date of February/March 2021.
Still waiting for the physical edition to ship from Nicalis' website. They went from the physical edition being available at all retailers to a website exclusive with a September 2021 release to no idea when it will ship.
@tonyp1987 it's even worse than that. Limited Run Games put DRM software on the physical releases, so you need an internet connection to start the games up.
Since 4 looks like it is taking place in the real world, Square should get meta and have Sora fight the hearless in Disneyland. That could be interesting and really make the story weird...er.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Launches On Switch Later This Month
For everyone mentioning not being able to get a physical copy, Play-Asia is selling physical copies with English on the cartridge.
Re: Anniversary: Capcom's Breath Of Fire Series Is 30 Years Old, And We Miss It
If they released 1 - 4, I would immediately buy them. Heck, I might even purchase a re-release if the PS2 game.
Re: After 30 Years, Cannon Dancer Will Finally Be Out On Consoles Next Week
Glad to see that I'm not the only one that got their physical copy early. I think this might be the first time Strictly Limited beat the digital release date.
Re: Paper Mario-Like 'Born Of Bread' Bakes Its Way Onto Switch This Summer
Fingers crossed it is more Bug Fables than Outbound Ghost.
Re: Disney Speedstorm Revs Up For Release With Founder's Pack Trailer
After the mess that is Chocobo Racing, I am passing on a micro transaction filled racing game.
Re: Review: Have A Nice Death - Delightfully Dark, Brutally Tough Roguelite Action
@Bunkerneath Thank you for this comment. I was about to buy it digitally, but I will now wait for the physical release.
Re: Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Launches On 25th May, But "Later" On Switch
I wonder if this is arriving "later" for Switch like Evil Dead...
Re: Review: Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo - A Scarily Good VN That's Simply Unmissable
Tempted, but waiting in case a physical release is randomly announced in a month or two.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails To Azure - Crossbell's Conclusion Is A Cracking RPG
I'm hesitant on this title. I really wanted to like the first game, but it felt extremely repetitive by the end of it. If this one is more of the same gameplay with largely reused environments, I might have to pass.
Re: Grim Guardians: Demon Purge Is Currently Unavailable On The US eShop
I went to buy this last night, only to find that it was removed from the eshop. Hopefully it gets added back to the store soon. Had I known it would vanish, I would have purchased this before the new Kirby.

Re: The DioField Chronicle Is Getting A Free "Large-Scale" Update Next Week
I need to find my copy of Diofield, after I finish Octopath Traveler 2. I have been meaning to play this, but life and other new releases keep getting in the way.
Re: DC's Justice League: Cosmic Chaos Looks Perfectly Pleasant In Gameplay Trailer
@Fangleman32 you can target a younger audience and still make a quality product.
Re: Poll: Octopath Traveler II Is Out Now, Which Character Will You Start With?
Osvald. Cyrus almost never left my party in the first game, so Osvald seems like a safe bet for a permanent party member.
Re: DC's Justice League: Cosmic Chaos Looks Perfectly Pleasant In Gameplay Trailer
That Outright Games logo means there is at least a 90% chance of this game being trash.
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
@Joekun hopefully you feel better today and are able to play it without issue. Is there something about this particular remaster that is causing it or is that not uncommon for you?

This is currently part of Target's buy one, get one 50% off sale.
Re: Koei Tecmo Shares "First In-Game Look" At Atelier Ryza 3's Early Purchase Bonus
February is going to kill my backlog. Atelier, Tales of Symphonia, and Octopath Traveler alone are going to eat up over 200 hours of my time.
Re: Xbox Live Arcade Hit Toy Soldiers Finally Launches On Switch, Download It Now
If this was a Switch re-release of Toy Soldiers; War Chest with the He-Man, Assassin's Creed, and GI Joe DLC, then I would consider it. But I am definitely not paying that much for an HD version of the original Toy Soldiers.
Re: Reminder: Chocobo GP's Season 5 Update Adds New Characters, Course & More
Tried playing this game last month, and the online community was dead. There weren't even enough players to get the online GP mode to work.
Re: Bandai Namco Announces Switch Demo For SD Gundam Battle Alliance
Just give me a physical release, and I'll immediately buy.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Physical version is part of Target's 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free' deal this week.
Re: The First Review For Mario Strikers: Battle League Is Now In
Famitsu seems to have a habit of generously scoring titles. If Strikers only got a 32, that is not making me optimistic.
Re: Surprise! Doom Eternal Is Getting A Limited Run Physical Release On Switch
About damn time.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Pushed Back To The Second Half Of 2022
I really don't like that it has three versions. That makes me concerned about microtransactions.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Just Got A New Character Update
I was wondering when we would get this. Man, going back to Bloodstained again is not going to help my backlog.
Re: Grab Both 'STAR WARS: Knights Of The Old Republic' Games In One eShop Bundle
And I just bought KOTOR 1 two weeks ago for full price... sigh
Re: Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II Switch File Size Seemingly Revealed
@Kiwi_Unlimited Same problem, and I even try to go physical edition when I can.
Re: SD Gundam Battle Alliance Locks In August Release For Switch
@farrgazer if they do the all in one physical release down the road, immediate buy, provided the base version doesn't get a US release.
Re: SD Gundam Battle Alliance Locks In August Release For Switch
@HollowSpectre Only problem is the season pass won't be compatible with the physical edition then.
Re: Video: Do You Own A Video Game So Rare That You Can Never Actually Play It?
Yep. Bought Ikagura Hypergun Edition on clearance and put it on my backlog. Now that game is going for $300 on Ebay, and I can't bring myself to open it.
Re: Chocobo GP Version 1.1.0 Adds Balamb Garden, Adjusts Levelling, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Wasn't going to, but I'm now willing to give season two a try.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Adverts Shoot For Customisation And Chaos
@ZZalapski Wait, is Daisy seriously not in this? That's my wife's favorite character!
Re: Poll: What's The Best Warriors Game On Switch?
I really want to give the title of best musou to Hyrule Warriors 2 or Persona, but I honestly think it belongs to Samurai Warriors 5. That game nailed the art style, story mode, and combat.

Re: Review: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Kirby's First Brush With 3D Is Still A Charmer
I might have to try this game out sometime. I had it on the original N64, but remember it being extremely disappointing.
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Switch Sports Is Number One For A Third Week
I really can't wait for "Evil Dead" to make it to the Switch. Shame it got delayed with no solid release date.
Re: Gallery: We Breakdown The Two Trailers For Netflix's Resident Evil
@Ronaldore Do you think Umbrella will give away medicine for free in this version?
Re: Three More Street Fighter Legends Are Coming To Ubisoft's F2P Brawlhalla
@RareFan He's new? I was wondering why I didn't recognize him.
Re: PSA: You Might Not Need To Unbox The New Smash Bros. amiibo To Use It
@Silly_G Have you checked Target? My local Target always quite a bit in stock.
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
This is reminding me of Mega Man Legends aka Mega Man 64.
Re: Hoa And Unpacking Among Big Gaming Winners At The Webby Awards
I still need to play "Hoa." Picked it up on Black Friday, but it never seems to make its way to the front of the backlog.
Re: Retro Platformer 'Sydney Hunter' Uncovers A Physical Edition

Re: LEGO Star Wars 'The Mandalorian Season 2 DLC' Icons Leak Ahead Of May 4th
@Fizza You can't kill baby Yoda. He just follows Mando around and remains safe from harm.
Re: DOOM And DOOM II Just Got Another Free Add-On, Try It Out Now
@tonyp1987 it's even worse than that. Limited Run Games put DRM software on the physical releases, so you need an internet connection to start the games up.
Re: PS2 Classic 'GrimGrimoire OnceMore' Announced For Switch
Fingers crossed there is an English version on Play-Asia.
Re: Mini Review: Tormented Souls - A Survival Horror Homage For Genre Nuts Only
Although it is no longer my Halloween horror game plan, I still plan on picking this up day one. Have had it pre-ordered since September.
