@KingMike viva pinata lol

@ButterySmooth30FPS indeed childlike behaviour from some media and commenters

@hYdeks I hope you get better service soon. Have you looked a star link?

@hYdeks why don't you demand a better internet connection

@KociolekDoSyta yes buy digital. You won't be playing this game in 10 years anyway

Release CJ elephant antics and it's sequel Codemasters

@Bass_X0 and you won't need AA batteries and a screen thats impossibly tiny and blurry to play it either

@Novuscourvous got to move with the times though. Digital gaming is here to stay and physical releases are on the way out whether that's acceptable is irrelevant

@AllBLK the mainstream audience doesn't care how and where they play the games and whether they are physical or not. It's just a fact now. Most won't be playing the switch 2 in 8 years. It will go in the cupboard and collect dust. I know for sure I won't be

@Misima hogwash

Also who is buying new PS4's? How much are they in Japan?

@Serpenterror fair enough. Any ideas on how much the Capcom fighting collection 1 sold?

7000 copies sold? Physical really is dying off

@Truegamer79 yeah street fighter was incredibly expensive on the Snes too. $70 in 1993. People have short memories or are just uninformed

@Grumblevolcano that's just wrong. N64 games were massively expensive in the 90s. Doom 64 was £80.

Mario Paint was a terrible game, I can't be alone in thinking this, why would I play THAT over SF2 turbo and mario world, or even sensible soccer or Super tennis?. I would even play the super scope over Mario Paint tsk

@Truegamer79 thankfully the 'chatter' about the £75 games has largely fell by the wayside, I feel the gaming 'media' blew it up to something more than it is. Gaming has always been expensive and £75 games are nothing new. Maybe not the norm but definitely nothing out of the ordinary

Also Game Manual holder 🙄tsk

Up next, here's a look at the size of Shiggy's socks..

Will it run Donkey Kong JR. at 120hz?

@Samalik I disagree. Have a good day

@Samalik I disagree. Physical games sales are on the wane massively and digital is selling more.

@Samalik most gaming is casual though, especially with Nintendo. nobody has said that people don't want physical anymore, but people are buying more digital now. It's just the way it is, physical sales are getting lower and lower each year and will soon most likely will be gone forever. Nothing last forever and physical sales will die off In a few years. It hink switch 2 may be Nintendo's last truly physical generation console. I think the switch 3 or whatever it will be will have a digital only sku

@Samalik yeah but the trend is still favouring digital in general

@Dennuhzz yeah I wasn't very good at it, compared to wace race 64 I found it very difficult but the graphics were incredible at the time

@ScottBp33 Simpsons hit & run won't happen. Disney won't want to be associated with a game like that and the Simpsons and video games are DOA at this point

@sweetchuck but you want a faster operating system

Wave Race Blue Storm

@karatekid1612 I guess the sales don't say that. But that's ok, everyone has an opinion. I won't be buying virtual fighter 2 regardless 😂 and my mario kart world will be a digital code in the bundle.

@karatekid1612 I don't subscribe to the too old to game theory. I think people have made a choice and it's to buy digitally 90/10

@karatekid1612 that's cool, in a few years, that choice will be largely gone. Probably by the next generation, so maybe in 10 years it will be all digital with a few places like limited run producing physical games. People are voting with their wallets, and with digital sales eclipsing physical, Nintendo are just following the pattern of the majority of people's buying habits. It's been going this way since the Xbox 360 days. It's just now becoming a reality

@karatekid1612 digital sales massively outweighs physical sales whether we like it or not.

@karatekid1612 that's cool I'm glad you want a physical product. The people who post on this site is a tiny portion of gaming sales though.

@Anti-Matter In the video game market, digital sales significantly outpace physical sales. A recent report from BBC indicated that in 2022, 89.5% of UK game sales were digital downloads, with only 10.5% being physical copies. This trend is a global phenomenon, with digital sales accounting for a majority of the gaming market revenue.

@karatekid1612 agreed, but overall it a vocal minority who are obsessed with physical games. Most people buy digital now, the sales show that

@YagaMaki well I think a 256gb express sd card is £49.99. I think Nintendo games will be well optimised for the system and smaller size. Dunno about the rest, I won't be buying any cross platform games for the switch 2. Plus it has alot of internal memory from the get go. Also define expensive. One mans expensive is another mans cheap

Got the pack in digital version don't need a cartridge these days

@karatekid1612 literally couldn't care about physical anymore. They take up unnecessary room on the shelf and digital is a much more streamlined experience. Cant see the outrage myself, it's a minority of collectors who just have to have stuff on physical cartridge for the sake of it

@StewdaMegaManNerd as far as battery life goes, it would be interesting to know how long people actually play for in handheld. I've probably done 3 hrs on my switch OLED in one session and that was on my couch. If I want to play Zelda for 6 hours it will be on the TV. I tend to like playing retro or indie games in handheld and AAA games on the TV. Having said that my 20 hour play through of Luigi's mansion was done all in handheld mode but over a period weeks on small sessions, not because of the battery life but just the way I would play a level and then put it down for a day or two before playing again

@Misima technically the game is a 2025 release

@OldManHermit thanks! I found Galaga hard lol. I used to like 1943 back in the arcades

Can anyone tell me a good 'basic' vertical shooter that isn't too difficult available on Switch? I've found them all to have quite a high challenge from the first level

@Medic_alert I disagree

@StewdaMegaManNerd I get that. But whether it's via the internet or not, it's still not only preserving and in many cases enhancing those old games, it also doing it for other publishers aswell, like Sega with the Genesis on expansion pack, and Capcom with Megaman etc. I'm not sure what other way there would be of 'preserving' these older titles. They just aren't going to put out Mario bros, ice climber etc as physical titles. It has to be online. And I don't think Nintendo are ever going to cut off Nintendo switch online now. It could happen, but it's highly doubtful

I bought my Xbox series X years ago. Purely for Halo Infinite as I didn't have a Xbox one. Apart from Black Ops 6 and Robocop Rogue City I really haven't played it that much. It's literally just sitting there waiting for GTA 6 now and a possible new Halo game.

@Medic_alert I don't agree because I'd wager 70% of those games would never be played if they weren't on NSO. And even if they are worth playing. It's a small minority that cares about physical games these days. You'd think it was more because that minority has a loud voice. Bit the stats says physical gaming is dying and people like to download them more than going to the store to buy them regardless of the price. I think Nintendo is definitely preserving games better than most

Saying that Nintendo isn't preserving games is just a stupid comment. NSO has most of the classic Nintendo games preserved and ready for people to play and is adding new games all the time. Yes it's a subscription, but do you really want to buy Super Mario bros on the NES for the 10th time?

I may actually buy this for switch 2. I haven't played it on my Xbox series X

Give me madden 94 and NHL 95 and NBA live 95 remakes now

Simpsons won't happen
