@KateGray I think your source regarding the physical version just being a download code has misunderstood. If I'm reading correctly, the download code is for the pre-order content labelled "From the Vaults".
@RupeeClock A download for the last two games in the collection is required. The boxart on Nintendo UKs site just says "Internet Download Required" (https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Spyro-Reignited-Trilogy-1576500.html), but the German Amazon has the full info:
"Erfordert den Download von Inhalten! Spiel 1 auf der Spielekassette. Spiel 2 und 3 muss aus dem Internet heruntergeladen werden!"
It seems to be right, yes, but someone must have failed math in the UK. If the US pricing is set at two thirds of the original Switch, it should have been £186.67.
@ThomasBW84 Pretty sure that we already knew this and that it is on for Europe in the Fall as well. At least we wrote about it on our Danish Nintendo community back in April when this surfaced:
Most of these improvements are irrelevant to Switch users. We did not have Time Trials until today, so you cannot call anything related to that a fix from our perspective, and achievements are not a part of the game on Switch, so you can remove those as well.
@Dazza Now tell me if you see lots more after that
@ThomasBW84 Guess you should update your schedule as well, because you have the date wrong on Bethesda and Devolver Digital. They are both showing the same day as Ubisoft here in Europe. You'll be dissappointed if you get up early to watch them Sunday
@Mijzelffan I doubt that once Bergsala (the distributor in the Nordics) has bought units from Nintendo, they will be relocated to other countries, but I would wish the interest was more significant here in Denmark.
Although it is easy to get your hands on a console here, I doubt that you would be happy about the price. Normal prices on Switch range from DKK2790 - DKK3000, which corresponds to approximately €375 - €400. I guess that is the downside of not having Nintendo doing the buisness directly with retailers.
I was lucky enough to get my switch at launch for just DKK2000 (~ €265), but I got the only console my local toys store had received, and it was not an offer that applied to every store in the country.
Meanwhile, in Denmark you can find Switch available at every online retailer. You will literally find retailers witch a stock of more than hundred consoles, but I guess it has been a long time since we were really considered Nintendo territory. Denmark is mosly PlayStation land nowadays.
@ThomasBW84 Yeah, but only in Japanese right? I have not posted the news myself yet, because I can't seem to find their source on that Spanish site. I have not seen any press release, social media post or something from Bandai Namco..
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That is spot on with the approximation that I made in January when the list of accessories was revealed. £74,99 / €89,99 will almost without a doubt be the price, and in Denmark where I'm from, I guess it will be DKK900, which equals more than €120.
@ThomasBW84: Forget my comment about the XSEED Games games from yesterday. According to the list (which I sent you earlier today) those games should go on sale sometime today. There were no discounts on them when I checked a few hours ago though.
@ThomasBW84: Can you also check the price for Vroom in the Night Sky? Want to add as much info about the launch titles on our Danish Nintendo community
@ElGrego and @Damo That is exactly what it is, and I'm surprised that NintendoLife did not catch that at the event in January. It is even listen on NoA's homepage - albeit not with much info:
@ThomasBW84 In case you don't have them, the official MSRPs for Europe are €29.99 & £24.99GBP (PS4) / €39.99 & £34.99GBP (Switch) . Unfortunately, the price will be the same for digital and physical on Switch, according to the press release from Deep Silver.
@ThomasBW84 As mentioned by others, there is actually a story wating to be told about this game, and since the original developers are from Great Britain, maybe you could dig a little furhter into that?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE A few more games has been confirmed for release one way or the other, and I decided to put up the list on a Danish website with the ones we know so far. You can find that via the link below, and 7,50 kr. (we use , as decimal seperator) equals 1 €:
Just a warning to everyone. At the moment the game is practically not playable, because of the save glitch. It is something that everyone seems to encounter after playing through to a specific point in the story. After that the autosave stops functioning and you are not able to save manually.
I've contacted Nordic Games about it and have yet to hear back from them. Because of that, I have not yet delivered my own review. I would have to give it a 1/5, due to not being able to complete the game in the current state, and I was hoping they would be able to fix it quickly, so I could give the game the score it really deserves. It is a really great point and click adventure with lots of references to pop culture, and that is how I would love to be able to grade it..
@ThomasBW84 Video description on the UK channel tells it is a 2017 release, if that is of any interest. They did not say anything about the release plans on the stream I believe..
It is nice to have access to both EU and US PR-material during events as these. At least that helps me a bit in the newswriting on our Danish Nintendo community..
@ThomasBW84 They have also confirmed that they will be showing Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits/Fleshy Souls, but Nintendo has omitted to tell so in European PR mails, because those games have not been announced for Europe yet..
@SLIGEACH_EIRE If it comes to Europe it will probably be published by Marvelous Europe. XSEED is a subsidiary of Marvelous, and they only handle the US market..
@ThomasBW84 You should add the European release plan as well. It is the 7th of October for Boo, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, and Wario while Waluigi, Diddy Kong, and Daisy will follow on the 4th of November.
@VanillaLake I've done the review of this game for a Danish site, and I can tell you that I completed the main game with all Code Cubes in less than 10 hours. Collecting all stickers and playing all the extra game modes add to that time though, and getting a 98 % completion (have not finished The True Arena) has taken me a little more than 20 hours..
@VanillaLake Nowhere does it say that Nintendo won't show other games at E3. It's just that Zelda will be the only playable title at the show floor, and those two are very different.
I expect the Treehouse team to show a bunch of other games, and since I won't be at E3, I really don't care if one game alone is playable, as long as they show us other things in their presentations.
Have anyone considered that Nintendo can still have surprises for us? Last year they brought a little bit of E3 directly to the consumers via the Nindies@HOME campaign. Imagine if they did a similar thing with their own titles. Trying out upcoming Nintendo games from the comfort of your own home with no time restrictions, that would certainly make a lot of people happy, and I would not be too surprised if it happens.
For the past few years Nintendo has evolved their E3 pressence in their own direction targeting the people at home more and more. Digital Event, Nintendo Treehouse, Nindies@HOME. I'm pretty sure that they have surprises in store for us, and I'm looking forward to the complete reveal of their E3 plans.
Neither SEGA 3D Classics Collection nor 7th Dragon III Code: VFD have been announced by SEGA for Europe, so they do tend to ignore the European market a little.
SEGA does not even distribute titles themselves in all of Europe, because Koch Media (parent company to Deep Silver) handles it on their behalf in many countries. I know so from doing a review on Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX last year.
Surprised that no one has mentioned the lack of support for Windows Phones. Sure, every developer tends to ignore that market, but when you are as big as Nintendo, I think that it is foolish to do so. I myself will never buy an Android or iOS device, and there are probably others like me out there!
Also, why not just tweak the rewards for countries with no access to Miitomo. With only 120 Platinum Coins to earn per week, it takes us nine weeks to get points enough for rewards such as the Picross game..
Doing a little calculation this would seem to indicate that 31.456 copies of Splatoon has been sold in the UK thus far. Of course that does not take into account the number of games sold digitally on the eShop..
This patch does not seem to be rolled out via a game update in Europe. Instead you have to delete the game from your Wii U/3DS and then redownload from the eShop. At least that is what I did, and now it says version 1.1.0 on the main screen..
Oops, I see how my message could be misinterpreted.. I did not refer to our reviewer being plain better because he was faster, but he was able to complete the game completely with all stars (top rank) in just one and a half hour, so maybe more skillful at the game was what I should have written. That is what holds me back from buying the game personally even though I really like the concept. I am simply afraid it will be over too soon for me..
@ThomasBW84 Some countries have this game as a retail game, and maybe that is why their price is different. In Denmark it is approximately 6 Euro for some reason.
By the way, guess our reviewer at N-club.dk was a lot better than yours, because he completed the game with all stars in just one and a half hour making the game rather pricey...

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd March (Europe)
