@Folkloner none of stores had any pre-order stock attached to them. They well always out of stock.

The pages are just there ready for when they are old how much stock they will be receiving at which point pre-orders will be opened.

Just wait. Bet that changes.

@Kalmaro automated gun turrets. By passing into the Galar they are seen as enemy combatants and will be shot down. We will protect the Galar boards to only allow the right ones in.

Make Galar Great Again.

@Kalmaro apart from for Pokemon that can fly or teleport. Or are they respecting the honour system. "Well you built a wall so I won't pass it"?

@Kalmaro maybe they built a wall.

@Kalmaro it all Pokemon from Gen 1-7 will be available to the game. So if we have proof of some Pokemon moving to the new region. So if an unwanted spices tries to come over they are either killed or deported.

@Kalmaro this seems a pretty cut and dry to me.

Interviewer from a another site
"Looking at some news that came out yesterday, there are some limitations on the Pokemon Bank. Only the Galar region Pokedex is only going to be accessible."

"why you think it's important to have that limitation?"

Junichi Masuda, Producer
"There are a couple of different parts to the thinking behind it, but really the biggest reason for it is just the sheer number of Pokemon. We already have well over 800 Pokemon species, and there's going to be more added in these games. And now that they're on the Nintendo Switch, we're creating it with much higher fidelity with higher quality animations. But even more than that, it's coming down to the battle system. We're making sure we can keep everything balanced and give all the Pokemon that appear in the games a chance to shine."

"We knew at some point we weren't going to be able to indefinitely keep supporting all of the Pokemon, and we just found that Sword and Shield would probably be a good point to go back and reevaluate what would be the best selection of Pokemon that appeal to the widest audience while keeping into consideration the balance of the battle system. It isn't just going to be all-new Pokemon in the Galar region Pokedex; there's still going to be a lot of favorites that fans will be able to bring over that they've adventured with previously. But yeah, it was pretty much just balancing and getting this optimal selection of Pokemon for the adventure we wanted to provide."

Interviewer from a another site
"Can you tell me about that selection process, like deciding which Pokemon you wanted ported forward, how much of that had to do with fan favourites versus balancing out the types and abilities?"

Junichi Masuda, Producer
"There are definitely a lot of factors. The primary focus was the setting of the game. We have the Galar Region, and we spent a lot of time discussing which Pokemon would make sense in that region. We kind of selected from there. But we also selected types that make sure the battles are balanced and really provide this exciting kind of battle experience."

@Kalmaro even with the possible massive cull?

@Moroboshi876 to get the game to the UK and pay customs upfront so that you don't get the extra Royal Mail £8 charge is £43. Not a bad price.

@SleeplessKnight yes the US one while having the same games as the PAL one is being branded as a Genesis Mini.

@dew12333 Nintendo knows that the Amiibo craze has died off. All new Amiibos since the launch of Smash Ultimate have not had the NFC blocking foil under them.

@Joe-b but you play Animal Crossing New Leaf every day. So you do thing about it.

"Strong and stable" unlike the current global political climate.

LOL. Even I'm not that much of Nintendo fan that I could pay those prices for something that spends 99.99999999999% of it's time hidden inside my Switch.

Problem with iam8bit is that their carts are overpriced (Maybe it's licensing costs).

It was evident when it came to MegaMan 2 and MegaMan X as even now they still have copies for sale and while they have a very pretty prime feel for the box, the carts are just cheap AliExpress shells with a flashboards from InfiniteNESLives,

@BensonUii it's the Famicom version. I would love to see the GameBoy version in Volume 2

@Wavey84 They have already admitted a Volume 2 so I exepect we'll see the MetroidVania games then.

The poll needs to allow multiple answers.

1) I got 2 Switches at launch so had 2 docks then.
2) I have the Nintendo travel charge dock and Horo charge dock (So no video but everything else)
3) I imported both the Smash and Pokemon docks (and JoyCons) from Nintendo Japan using white rabbit shipping service https://my.whiterabbitexpress.com/?ref_id=ND7yT48oLRiWhMqXP

So I'm fine when it comes to Switch docks.

@jockmahon only if you buy a deluxe edition. bricking your Switch is a feature

@GrailUK they will offer a premium club ($60 dollars a month) and then they will allow you yo buy physical copies of New Blood for $150 each.

Switch batteries are easy to replace and cheap to buy. Sure he knows someone who can do it for him. I hear Reggie is not busy these days.

@link70222 They need to make a exclusive Fast And Furious game for the Switch. One where the Joycon drift is feature of the game.

"Fast And Furious - Joycon Drift"

I'm fine with having the VR headset on a set of legs. Something just feel right about doing that for a Nintendo console. But can't place my fingers on why. lol

@whanvee yep the PAL edition for Switch is not out till 10th May.

@TempOr US reviewers have had their hands on this Switch version and I would guess that the UK reviewers got their copies at a similar time as the game has been on the servers for a while now. But they are holding out for the UK launch.

Finally you guys get around to reporting this.

I really love this game and the fact they are working on adding more the game is great.

Anyone who like original GB/GBC stuff needs to back this,.

I would love to see a Virtual Boy Classics collection on Switch. Means less wear and tare on my complete VB collection.

@jwfurness the change seems to be relatively ne win the last couple of years or so, last time I use them they have a strict policy about not being able to cancell orders.

But tbh I'm still get mine from them. Special edition with plushes etc.

To all who have pre-orderd from FanGamer and want cancel as looking to get the EU versions.

@terry93 you mean claim from Credit Card or Paypal?

Also don't forget the game comes on in end of may. Might work out cheaper to buy from US after the end dates.

@zufa86 FanGamer don't allow cancelling.

But will they have the talking grub plushie?

@Aneira So did I. But hey I've got a US account just for DLC etc. But I did also buy loads of the FanGamer extras including the Special Edition and plushies.

@Ralizah also set up with such a short USB C to C cable woukdn't you just have the Joycons on the Switch where they charge them self?

Only reason for this would be if you carry and charge multiple sets of Joycons when out as long as this doesn't brick your Switch

@Paperboy but they do say on their site that they don't pay customs charges.

@Paperboy i've used SR in the past and didn't get charged customseparately to the UK but of course I can't guarantee all shipments are free of customs

@RupeeClock Limited Run has always done pre-orders on standard edition Switch games. They are either still trying to gauge the market before they stick to fixed quantities or are using that as the standard model for all Switch games unlike the Vita and PS4 which are limited to a fixed number on both LE and standard.

@Paperboy https://specialreservegames.com/ is the site you are looking for.

I've already got all 4 versions of these (Blue, Mario, Zelda & Pokemon). So no I won't be picking any more unless Hori bring out some new designs.

But they are great if you want to play portable 2D performers or fighting games.

In Thorpe Park Mario & Luigi haunt your nightmares.

Right I know they may have just put call out for local Cozplayers, some of their employees or just grabbed some bums off the street but if all you can provide is a ghetto Sonic, Mario & Luigi then you're not really trying hard enough.

"Superhero landing! She's gonna do a superhero landing, wait for it!

Wooo! Superhero landing! You know, that's really hard on your knees. Totally impractical, they all do it."

@Heavyarms55 yes the Japanese version does have full support for English. Got my copy the other day and was pleasantly surprised.

I have heard that a later patch will add other languages (I think German and French).

@CurryPowderKeg79 too much Fortnite. They should go play StarDew Valley.

@CurryPowderKeg79 ha ha the jokes on you. They've closed the club initial entrants

All you can do now is rush with the rest of the sheep to buy the left overs. victory is mine.

Lol being honest it''s better for Super Rare to mentioned as much as possible. They are great guys and do not suffer from the Limited Run Games rush , yet.

@CurryPowderKeg79 what
"D'oh it was meant to be a secret.
Now everyone will buy it. ;D"

I only said that because Super Rare Games sent a mail out to Club Members saying
"COMING SOON!
Don't tell anyone yet... More info soon"

@aznable @jockmahon shouldn't it to be a "variable wealth, non assigned gender version of non descriptive portal creation game"?

D'oh it was meant to be a secret.

Now everyone will buy it. ;D

OK just checked Play Asia again. Earlier this week/last week when i ordered my copy on the page for the Asian version it said
"Note:

• Box art is not final
• number of cartridges 2"

Now it just says
"Note:

• Box art is not final"

I'll ask them to confirm and report back if get a reply

@IHateTombs yes I would expect all copies to have multi language as they get released around the same time as US & UK.

This is the current standard for games released at the same time. Which is great for people needing to import to have physical copies.

Not sure this article is worded to ensure no confusion. The only version of the game that seems to have the 2 carts is the Asian one. Not the Japanese one.

Neither Play Asia or Amazon Japan claim that the Japanese version of the game has 2 carts.

It'seems only the Asian version that Play Asia list have having 2 carts.

@XenoShaun Amazon will only sell the Japanese version. You can pick faster shipping from Play Asia but of course it costs.
