This is easily solved, make the game available on cloud for OG owners, and cartridge for Switch Pro owners. Not everyone will be happy, but that’s par for the course. I don’t know what 3rd party would want to ignore an install base of 80 million for a tiny fraction of that audience.

I really enjoyed this game about a year ago on Switch. I’d love to get a final physical release with all the updates.

@doctorhino Perhaps, you can see it that way if you choose. For me, saying that you don’t like something doesn’t necessarily equate to whining. But when it drags on and on for months and months across news story after news story it becomes tedious. The point has been made. And my point has been made very clearly as well, I can’t wait for this to pass. I don’t intend to keep posting about it in every new story either.

@Burning_Spear True, but I mean the news stories that provide a platform for the whining will subside. I mean, there are 2 stories in the last day about it.

March 31st can’t come soon enough. I’m tired of all the whining.

Going to need a physical version or a deep discount. Digital games just don’t have much value for me.

@HXLXIII I’ve had them fixed multiple times. Are you suggesting there is a permanent fix? Either way I don’t feel like investing in defective hardware.

They look really cool, but I'm not buying any more joycons until they fix them.

I loved Skyward Sword, and at the time thought it would be really hard to go back to using traditional controls. I'm really looking forward to this. I only wish they had improved the graphics a bit more, they still look very "wii".

Used to read Shin-chan when I lived in Japan. My skills aren't what they used to be though. Might be time for a refresher course, probably going to import this one!

@Yosher That’s why they’ll be limited to 6 month availability, so they won’t have a chance to go down in price.

@Snaplocket Because they game takes place in Japan, and also isn't likely to be a huge seller, I highly doubt they will make a dub.

I'll be waiting for a physical release, but this was one of the more interesting announcements for me.

I want the Kunio collection on cartridge, but if it drops to $10 I’d get it digitally. Still waiting for one or the other.

@TurboTEF I wish Strictly Limited would remove VAT for international orders. I’ve asked them about it a few times and they always say they might do it in the future. If more people bug them about it they might get it done.

Was just thinking about starting this one. Probably won’t buy the DLC, but happy for the tweaks.

I skipped the WiiU, mostly because it never had an original Zelda game until the end, and the price never dropped.

Agreed. Back when I first started playing RPGs (on the Master System with Miracle Warriors and Phantasy Star) I didn't mind it so much. These days I just don't have the time or inclination to spend an hour or more grinding just to progress to the next area. A few months ago I got Ys Origin, but I gave up on it about halfway through after I realized I needed to grind 40 minutes for each boss. That's just not worth it now, which is saying something because every run I ever did of Ys 1 involved grinding as soon as I started the game until I could afford the most expensive sword

@Solomon18 I feel the same. Blossom Tales was one of my biggest regret purchases.

Waiting for a discount on this one, but getting more and more tempted to get it day one.

This looks great, and I can’t wait to play it when the inevitable physical version comes out. I do wish we could move past the 8 bit aesthetic and onto more 16 bit inspired indie games though.

I wonder how many of these are destined for eBay, or if the total includes Best Buy’s order. I’ll probably order a copy in a few weeks, hopefully paired with something else to save on shipping.

There’s really no info on that page suggesting a Zelda-like game. I would imagine more of an Earthbound style, which would have been great.

Loved the game, probably won’t go back for this, but looking forward to the sequel.

Loved the game. Classic mode might get me to go back to it.

I’d buy these on cartridge, already have the Belt Action and Street Fighter collections. But digital is of no interest to me beyond getting 1943 for free.

@SirAileron Haha, I'm not the only one. If they want it to be Akatori they have to remove the hiragana!

Nice, glad this exists for the people that want it. I tried the first one on Switch and it isn't really my thing anymore. Love seeing that they made it happen though. If I were going to play it I'd definitely do so on Switch.

@Mr_Humpf Agree 100%. I put about 15 hours into it, but don’t have a desire to do more. It’s not a bad game, I just got tired of the combat. The rice growing is pretty fun though.

@westman98 I haven’t been paying attention to the Japanese charts, but when I lived in Japan a western game topping the charts was unthinkable.

COD and AC are at the top of the charts in Japan? Things have changed.

This is fine, I’m in no rush so I’ll just wait for the inevitable “complete” release.

@RetrovisRabbit Hmm, can’t say I agree that this has great appeal to people with an interest in Japan. I lived there for a few years, studied the language/culture, and lived with 3 different Japanese families. I think this game is ok. 7 seems pretty fair. I see this game going out of print and selling for double on eBay within a year because it won’t have mass appeal.

Hmm, was interested but not after reading these comments and the review. Thanks. Also what’s up with no online when the pc version has it? I’d love a Mario Party style game I could play with my siblings around the country.

Switch only this generation. None of the games coming for the other consoles appeal to me at all, and I have more games than I can get to anyway. Hoping for a Switch Pro though.

Tropical Freeze is never included in these sales. Must sell pretty well.

I love Pikmin, but I just got a WiiU a year ago and played through this. I want to own it on Switch eventually, but I’m in no rush. Total spent on WiiU + Pikmin 3, $70.

Looks cool, but Ubisoft games drop in price quickly. I’ll probably grab this by next summer for ~$25.

I didn’t love Odyssey overall, it’s a good game, but just doesn’t reach the heights of some of its predecessors. Now a sequel that takes the 2D ideas from Odyssey and runs with them would be amazing!

Why not just put the game on that NES cartridge? Now that would be cool.

I’ve got it preordered, but could Just not pick it up if reviews are bad or if Walmart discounts it. But it looks cool, and the price is good.

I’m not buying any more until drift is fixed. I’ve sent all 4 of mine in for repair, the left ones twice.

I’ll be waiting for the inevitable physical release, so it’s all good. Looks awesome!

@Krambo42 I definitely don't think their games have been awful up to this point, I just think they have been overrated. Pirates Curse was probably my favorite of the ones I've played. I agree with your sentiment, which is what I was trying to get at myself, I'm not surprised that they can make an awful game.

It's cool that a lot of people love WayForward games, but because of the hype surrounding the company I've tried out a lot of their stuff and been extremely underwhelmed. I lost even more respect for them when they partnered with Limited Run to charge $30 (much closer to $40 with shipping and tax) for a direct port of a single GB Color game on Switch, but they know their fans will eat it up. Remember when people flipped out about Collection of Mana for $40? Or Mario 3D All Stars? Not so when WayForward gives even less.

Never played a warriors game, and it doesn’t look like much fun to me. I will be trying it out though. I want to know the full story leading up to my favorite game of all time, and I hope I will be surprised at how fun the gameplay is.

Put all the Sega Ages games on a cartridge and I’ll buy it.

I couldn't see what the fuss was about, the pictures in the article look identical. Not sure why I had to open Twitter to actually see what the problem was.

@BulbasaurusRex Ha

@BulbasaurusRex They already had a name, shooters. Side scrolling shooters, top down shooters. They really have nothing in common with movies by the likes of John Woo, or starring Stallone or Schwarzenegger. If anything FPS (or 3rd person) have more in common with that genre. I know there isn’t much point in this discussion as the term has been widely adopted, but you could say the same about all the other terms in this article. I wouldn’t even mind “classic shooter”, but shmup is so idiotic I have literally spent time looking for a content blocker that could find and replace the word (yeah, I know), and shoot ‘em up just doesn’t make sense to me.

60fps for 64 and Sunshine?
