"the ultimate Final Full Edition, completely bug-free, update-free, and fully included on the cartridge. No downloads, no patches, no waiting. Just the complete, perfectly optimized experience, ready to play."
I hope they print this on the back cover, love it.
@DiceRobo it's pure corporate negligence, this companies will go to any extent to save some pennies. If a digital option already exists, we don't need another semi-digital variant. If companies like CD Project Red, Marvelous, Falcom and even smaller indies can offer a physical edition, there's no excuse for the big publishers.
I've been playing the series exclusively on Nintendo platforms since Mask of the Lunar Eclipse on Wii, but it's time to jump back to PlayStation, no way I'm buying a key card game.
This could be my console of choice for the next generation if PS6 doesn't have physical games. Steam is the only storefront I'd build a digital library on.
They actually have the courage to delay their only chance to release a polished physical NS2 version, glad they're taking it seriously, day one purchase if it's a finished product.
Ocarina of Time on N64 was my introduction to Zelda and it was the most photorealistic game I had ever seen, not even modern Unreal Engine games can replicate it.
Finally I can play this game again, bought it on Switch but not much changed from the original WiiU version. Now 4K60FPS is what I'm talking about, I'm double dipping with digital upgrade and physical version.
So with Switch version you get a physical game for Switch plus the same digital NS2 version you'd get with a key card. No point in getting the key card and I'm glad they offer this path to somewhat relieve the lack of Switch 2 physical.
Considering the PS5 disc contains everything including DLC on the disc, which is rare, makes it one of the best physical releases on the system so nothing to see here.
@Twilite9 completely disagree, and as someone who also loves Metroid I consider Prime 4 to be one of the best in the entire series. Calling the game "insultingly stupid" seems to come from an emotional reaction rather than an objective opinion. At the end, I don't care what others think about the game so I won't bother you anymore.

Re: Fantastic Fantasy Roguelike Absolum Is Getting The Full Physical Treatment On Switch 2
If indies with low budgets can release proper physical games on NS2, why can't the big publishers?
Because they are greedy anti-consumer companies that's why.

Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park
