First Press are scum. I ordered Crimzon Clover World EXplosion towards the end of 2021. Itās never going to materialise now. Theyāre a bunch of crooks with the audacity to advertise new pre orders.
@Sambuc why is this bothering you honestly? Isnāt it nice that the switch owners have the choice/ chance to play the game? Dragons Layer has always looked fan-bloody-tastic and iām sure thatās not in 4k it will be fine running at 720p
@Edd-O Crimzon Clover World EXplosion, yeah i ordered this and have now given up all hope of seeing this on my doorstep sadly. With strictly limited a reasonable possibility.
@Sambuc no mate, they suck. The worst thing about collecting is the environmental impact of producing and shipping this stuff. When itās contains just a unlock code thatās just pointless.
@Kiyata totally agree, unfortunately some people donāt like to wait for a finished product and moan about it. LRG canāt win in this situation and tbh thatās not fair on them.
@Joe11 during the pre production phase which is around 4 weeks anyone can order as many units of game they want, thats not promoting a scarcity model. I'm sure LRG would be happy to manufacture tens of thousands of each of product.
@Spider-Kev Wrong, stop spreading misinformation. Going by the āDoes it playā website of the 500+ games they have tested on switch 93% are perfectly playable without any major issues affecting gameplay.
@Gohanjin thatās fine with ps5 at least you can play the broken game on disc, well apart from Indiana Jones which is basically game key. Sadly in a few short years weāll be dreaming of barely playable games on cart/ disc if/when game key kicks in.
@SBandy1 itās just a sellable digital download. Game is not worth any more than the onsale store price which capcom seem to regularly take part in. Infact probably less duo to the trouble rummaging around to play the cart.
Available for selected games, a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a bundle that includes the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade pack, which enhances the game to take advantage of the capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2.
Contents and enhancements of the upgrades differ depending on the game. They can include visual improvements, new features, or additional game modes. Features and content of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games can only be played on Nintendo Switch 2. If you already own the original Nintendo Switch game, as either a physical or digital version, you can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition by purchasing the game's upgrade pack via Nintendo eShop, My Nintendo Store or at retailers. After you upgrade, the original Nintendo Switch game can still be played on Nintendo Switch, though the features and content of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition can only be played on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can download selected upgrade packs at no additional cost
@MrCarlos46 do you really think Nintendo will be that generous? I'm going to guess the switch 1 cartridge will dump data onto the internal memory of Switch 2 which will then run through emulation. This will happen with all the Switch 1 cartridges. Sorry to disappoint
@Friendly I've preordered Switch 2 but sure as hell wonāt buy digital from Nintendo with their track record. So mostly1st party stuff.
I'm going to get a SteamDeck with the cash Iāll save not buying these game key products. I'd recommend this to everyone, sorry guys welcome to the future š
@Medic_alert hmmm, seems like if thereās text on the front of the box itās bad news, either one of these keycard games or a Switch 1 cart with upgrade store code.
@KITG_GROUP Iāve done exactly the same as you today. Fingers crossed for day 1, if the game prices donāt drop Iāll be playing Switch 1 games on this thing for a while. Good upgrade from the Lite.
