more layoffs are incoming imo. The industry is slowly becoming unsustainable and charging extra will not solve the problem. and remastering or remaking one of the two games you have developed over the last decade isn't gonna cut it imo.
@jetsetradion tbh I am trying to get less involved with social media. For example I have facebook on a separate phone (which I don't carry with me), and use discord only on laptop. It was just too much at some point.
I have gotten over the key card issue. If there is a game I most certainly wanna play then I am gonna get it, not sure wether it's gonna be a key card or a digital download, though, but it will be heavily discounted. Never bothered with limited run releases as they are overpriced in my region and distorting my view on collecting stuff, numbered released would also hurt my OCD.
Low-key hoping they will backpedal on the 64gb restriction. I can't justify paying full price for a digital or key card game and I don't wanna wait years until the prices drop down to 20%.
@Blofse had to check this, colin is actually 6 years younger, didn't know it still existed (in some dirt form). I'm not so much into racing games, mario kart pretty much covers that itch for me.
I think it's fair to say key-cards haven't been so well received. Imo they could have been great as a cheaper alternative for physical media. $80 for a cardridge or $60 for a key card - and then it's up to the consumer to choose.
Inflation and higher production costs are undeniable. Nintendo will be able to sell their games at higher prices, that''s just how it is. Other companies though? Ubisoft tried with their AAAA approach and we all know how that went down.
The fact something was more expensive to produce does not mean it's worth it's asking price.
@Tchunga oh, my comment wasn't meant THAT way, it's ok to imitate, most new things are an imitation of what came before. Any particular reason why you believe this game is deserving of attention?
I am tempted to get a copy from PlayAsia but there is so many projects that have piled up I might actually have to skip this one and wait for a digital sale
I would argue kotor 1 and 2 are easily worth the half price on their own. Also played both jedi knights and republic commando, they arent bad by any means
Gaming sites should take a neutral stance and focus on the gaming aspects of a game. Politics are too polarizing these days, they can make or break a business venture.
While I would prefer a pure physical experience I am not gonna miss out on a game I wanna play. Will most likely wait for a discount tho. Also not sure if digital wasnt better since I am not in the habit of reselling. either way the price must be really low for me to consider this, 60-80% discount

Re: Fantasy Life i Is Proving So Popular That Level-5 Has Already Announced Free DLC
that's all nice and stuff but can we get a physical?
Re: New LEGO Mario Sets Starring Wario, Captain Toad & Prince Florian Land August Release Date
is it just me or is the creative houses set a bit lackluster? (minifigs notwithstanding)
Re: "If You're A Real Fan, You'll Find A Way" - Borderlands 4 Dev Gives Tone Deaf Response To Price Concerns
he has a point. I am not interested in borderlands but if there is a game you really wanna play $10-20 won't make a difference.
Re: Talking Point: The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation Sucks, But Can Nintendo Do Anything About It?
Maybe it's just me but I never cared about owning a new console on day one.
Re: Nintendo Renews A Couple Of Metroid Prime Trademarks
keep those remasters coming!

if I could just get my hands on a physical copy (for a decent price).
Re: Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Use Game-Key Cards For First-Party-Developed Titles
@Misima @Burning_Spear Yeah, I don't expect it either, but we will see how sales will go.
Re: Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Use Game-Key Cards For First-Party-Developed Titles
I really hope key cards will be highly unsuccessful and they all revert back to cardridges
Re: Opinion: I Hope Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter Doesn't Make A 'Big' Remake Mistake
day one purchase for me as is the case with all trails games
Re: Nintendo Predicted To Become "Primary Partner For Third-Party Game Publishers"
when I hear nintendo and third party I fear the worst. they really dropped the ball with those key cards.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
hmm... since its backwards compatible it's merely an upgrade in my head. same family, same thing. will get one when metroid releases.
Re: Ubisoft's Prince Of Persia Remake Expected By 2026, But It's Delaying Other Major IP
I played all three games back in the day, but didn't complete the third.
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
Low-key hoping they will backpedal on the 64gb restriction. I can't justify paying full price for a digital or key card game and I don't wanna wait years until the prices drop down to 20%.
Re: Opinion: Nintendo's Forgotten The Game With The Most 'Switch 2 Edition' Potential
Pikmin 5 please!
Re: Limited Run's Switch 2 Numbered Releases Will Reportedly Include The "Full Game On The Cartridge"
my OCD doesn't like numbered releases
Re: UK Charts: Minecraft Makes Gains, But Clair Obscur Reigns Supreme
wow, they really nailed it with clair obscure. Wonder what Ubisoft might be thinking now

Re: Feature: The Long & Rainbow Road To 'Mario Kart World', From SNES To Switch 2
is MK the longest running racing game?
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Admits Borderlands 4 Might Follow Nintendo's New Pricing
unsurprisingly!
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Has Been Confirmed For Switch 2
$2 sounds pretty fair
Re: Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation
I'm feeling indifferent towards this as I don't emulate. Imo the palworld lawfare is worse than this. Nintendo should get down from their high horse
Re: Nintendo Reiterates Plan To Continue Bringing Out "New Titles" For Switch
@WhiteUmbrella We will see
it makes sense, though. Unlike the wii u situation, the s2 is backwards compatible and anything released for the s1 can sell on the s2.
Re: Another Switch 2 "Code-In-Box" Physical Release Appears Online
What's worse than a key-card?
Re: Nintendo Shares More Footage Of Zelda: Wind Waker On Switch 2
@dskatter I also own a number of wii titles.
Re: Nintendo Shares More Footage Of Zelda: Wind Waker On Switch 2
I own the wii u version. Would have double dipped for a switch port, though.
Re: Palworld Dev Announces "Disappointing" Game Changes Resulting From Nintendo's Lawsuit
Nintendo was probably little bit afraid somebody else could make a better pokemon game and gamefreak in turn would need to amp up their efforts.
Re: The Hundred Line's Script Is Long Enough To Print 60 Paperback Novels
Pretty hard to come by a physical copy here in EU. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
Re: Gorgeous 'Trails In The Sky' Remake Gets September Release Date
If they could just make the whole series available, also cold steel 1 and 2 are sorely missed
Re: Unlike Nintendo, EA's Game Prices Apparently Won't Be Rising Any Time Soon
People will be expecting quality if they are asked to pay more.
Re: Tales Of The Shire Physical Release Announced For Switch, Pre-Orders Live
Looks really cozy!!! If I was into Lotr/Hobbit I would consider this
Re: Nintendo May Record Video And Audio From GameChat Sessions On Switch 2
A spy service, eh?
Whoever came up with this idea deserves a raise.
Re: Former Assassin's Creed Lead Isn't Happy About Switch 2's Game-Key Cards
I think it's fair to say key-cards haven't been so well received.
Imo they could have been great as a cheaper alternative for physical media. $80 for a cardridge or $60 for a key card - and then it's up to the consumer to choose.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida On Higher Switch 2 Game Prices: "It Was Going To Happen Eventually"

Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
btw is it just me or does the title feel a bit off? why finally?
Re: 'Wild Hearts S' Switch 2 Release Detailed By Koei Tecmo
@Tchunga oh, my comment wasn't meant THAT way, it's ok to imitate, most new things are an imitation of what came before. Any particular reason why you believe this game is deserving of attention?
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
If anyone likes star wars I see no reason why they shouldn't be getting this game
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Switch Estimated File Size Revealed

Re: 'Wild Hearts S' Switch 2 Release Detailed By Koei Tecmo
I will stick with the real monster hunter
Re: SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered Switch Physical Release Arrives Next Month
I never played any of the saga games. Will be skipping this. Game series can be a bit like a rabbit hole, you get one, then you buy them all.
Re: Star Wars: Grand Collection For Switch Now Available, Nine "Iconic" Games In One
I would argue kotor 1 and 2 are easily worth the half price on their own. Also played both jedi knights and republic commando, they arent bad by any means
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd May)
Will be starting the suikoden collection, also tempted to buy dragons dogma (its really cheap on the e-shop right now)
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Strategy Games
kingdom battle for its uniqueness
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Might Already Be Teasing More Switch 2 Games
I could make do with another kingdom battle. Maybe they should make a zelda game together with nintendo, black flag meets the wind waker.
