@thesilverbrick if the game will not work without the download, then what's the point of that cart. Just a marketing ploy at that point. There is a special place in hell for these people who decided that this was ok.
But then greed is king and its also why we will eventually wreck the planet. #sadtimes
@Archius9 I liked F Zero GX better than the N64 version, money left waiting on the table there, got fast RMX to try to scratch the itch but as good as it is i'm still itching here.
same here, the only real comparison for this id say would be Dead or Alive or Virtua Fighter. we don't have either of those, so id be down for this. I am a PC / Switch gamer currently. and atm portability for the win.
@Silly_G I concur its why I still don't own starlink, la noir, wolfenstein 2 or nba 2k19. I have crumbled and I have DOOM and NBA2K19. but I cannot support this practice and the only way I can vote is with my wallet. If Nintendo were more honorable they would not let them do it. If evil EA got their FIFA games to fit others should also. Its not like the RRP is cheap anyway.
The only way this would be exceptable is if it was all super compressed on cart an needed to extract to SD. anything else is 100% anti consumer in my opinion.
I'll bet this is part of why starlink is already on sale. We shall see I guess.
Another issue is that NBA 2K18 and DOOM started out with the additional data being optional, but later patched them to make it mandatory.
SHADY PRACTICES is all I am saying.
Additionally the price disparity between physical and digital makes this even worse.
I cannot fathom why digital is ever the same price or more than physical. It makes 0 sense to me.
I am sure consumers would be willing to pay more for physical complete on cart games over digital seller holds all the cards business model.
@Moroboshi876 completely agree, Hollow night was one of the cases where it was a steal price wise. I would have double dipped to show my support for the teams work in bringing us a great game. Still not finished yet, but ill get there. Punishingly hard at times, but has some real moments of magic i feel.
Does not hold your hand too much and is so hard in places that it reminds me when games were actually challenging.
@MortalKombat2007 1000%agree was super cheeky of them not to. It was not a cheap system. Would have made it all look so much neater mounted on the wall.
I don't think Nintendo understands how the Internet works. Don't see why this would need to be on LAN. the only thing I can think of, is that they are trying to negate issues in households with multiple people streaming media over WiFi.
Also, this may relate to many ISP supplied routers being garbage.
I have always swapped out whatever is provided for an alternative and the difference is usually night and day. Many don't do this however. Wired connections would potentially negate such issues.
@AxeltheBuizel i am coming to the conclusion that big business does not like any manner of risk. In doing so they are ignoring a huge market clamouring for more serious games.
I believe that they could surely reuse the FIFA 19 engine to bring us NBA, NHL, GOLF and MADDEN.
id personally be tempted by 2 -3 if they were decent enough. Money waiting to be taken its a shame is all i am saying.
@derty FIFA 19 on switch is definitely better that FIFA18 switch. well worth the £30 i paid for it £55 is too much i believe however id say £40 is fair.
I will say that i hated ultimate team though, blatant cash grab that i completely plan to side-step. Ill admit that Career mode does not seem as good as master league in pes though. but its best footie game on switch.
FIFA 19 actually does have a fair few game-play tweaks over FIFA 18.
@Mr_Pepperami I agree everyone that's not Nintendo life have started that this game is an absolute grind fest compared to the last one, which has been pulled from the eshop to Rob users of choice I guess.

Re: Daemon X Machina Producer Thanks Fans For Playing The Limited-Time Demo
was super surprised at how much there was to do in terms of pick ups and customisation. i'm in, day one for me assuming the reviews are OK.
Re: Reminder: Register Your Switch Launch Games Before They Expire This Weekend (Europe)
This is bad PR for new customers...
And I had gold points expire before I had anything I could do with them. Shame on you Nintendo.

@Charlie_Girl greed, I guess Asian games don't stand for this nonsense, if they thought they could get away with it they would.
Re: Download Warning Ruins Box Art For Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster
@YessMasster great idea, but maybe that extra ink cost will be too much for them
Re: Download Warning Ruins Box Art For Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster
@BenAV # greed wins every time, maybe this is why Starlink is so cheap already. Still refuse to bitr even at £18
Re: Download Warning Ruins Box Art For Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster
@NotAceAttorney it will be tied to your account
Re: Download Warning Ruins Box Art For Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster
@JayJ If its not ok in asia and Japan, why is it ok in America and Europe. For shame I tell you fit shame.
This is an offence to collectors everywhere.
I'll see if I can import I guess.

Re: Saints Row: The Third Brings The Full Package To Nintendo Switch Next Year
@Silly_G I am close to caving on LA noir also, currently £15 GBP.
Am trying my best to hold strong.
I figured the thing about flight mode and Doom also.
I'm also holding out on Nintendo Online, but may go in on a family pack.
Snagged diablo 3 for £32.99 on amazon, so that should hold me over for a while.
Re: Saints Row: The Third Brings The Full Package To Nintendo Switch Next Year
@Silly_G I concur its why I still don't own starlink, la noir, wolfenstein 2 or nba 2k19.
I have crumbled and I have DOOM and NBA2K19.
but I cannot support this practice and the only way I can vote is with my wallet. If Nintendo were more honorable they would not let them do it. If evil EA got their FIFA games to fit others should also. Its not like the RRP is cheap anyway.
The only way this would be exceptable is if it was all super compressed on cart an needed to extract to SD. anything else is 100% anti consumer in my opinion.

Another issue is that NBA 2K18 and DOOM started out with the additional data being optional, but later patched them to make it mandatory.
SHADY PRACTICES is all I am saying.

I cannot fathom why digital is ever the same price or more than physical. It makes 0 sense to me.
I am sure consumers would be willing to pay more for physical complete on cart games over digital seller holds all the cards business model.
That's My 10 cents
Re: Team Cherry Has Cancelled The Physical Version Of Hollow Knight
@Moroboshi876 completely agree,
Hollow night was one of the cases where it was a steal price wise. I would have double dipped to show my support for the teams work in bringing us a great game. Still not finished yet, but ill get there.
Punishingly hard at times, but has some real moments of magic i feel.
Does not hold your hand too much and is so hard in places that it reminds me when games were actually challenging.
We will see i guess.

Chararacters in CTB were solid however and it played pretty well
Re: FIFA 19 - The Best Soccer Game On Switch, But It's Hard Not To Feel Short-Changed
i haven't played it on other consoles /pc, but after playing 19 on switch, there is no going back to 18.
i managed to get it for £30 though so reasonable pricing for me, for the changes on offer.
Looks far better on big screen than 18 did.
