The thought of not being able to own cartridges is sad. Unfortunately, the new generation of gamers would rather own digital and not have to switch out a cart or disc. As they get older (and get corporate jobs at gaming companies), companies with probably phase out physical to save money.
I know there will be people that look forward to being able to play a proper English translation of this for the first time, but $29 US is just too much for this game. It is on sale right now for $23, but I dont think I'd give it a look for more than $15.
I have put hundreds of hours into this game and can't wait to come back! The support that Chucklefish is showing for this game is phenomenal. I am seriously considering double dipping on the physical version just to support them.
I am a fan since Dragon Warrior 1, and am having a blast with this! The game is great in its own right, but the nostalgia factor adds that much more for me.
Wow sorry to hear this. It would be smart of Nintendo to do a massive 3DS eshop sale for about a week or two before support ends. I would definitely purchase a lot.
@Cotillion Not sure where you live, but in the US Gamestop is still a great place to get old DS games for a reasonable price. About a year ago I was able to find Dragon Quest IV - VIII for DS and 3DS, some of them brand new. You can also get some brand new DS games on Amazon for a decent price.
Since I cant afford 3 Houses just yet, I went back and finally beat Fire Emblem Echoes on 3DS. Now I am playing Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, which I had never played. Both are great!
I'm a little jealous of my son playing nonstop Fire Emblem: 3 Houses, so I borrowed his copy of Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest (which I missed the first time around) and I'm playing that. Also pumped for my friend coming over to play Mario Golf on Gamecube later!
I love turn-based strategy, but without at least hot seat at launch, this was a hard pass for me. At a lower price and with hot seat, maybe in the future.
@commentlife Thanks! Yes it's the 8bitdo. I was trying to emulate the old Street Fighter 2 cabinets. I definitely recommend the 8bitdo. Easy to mod and plays great.

Re: Save Big On Bandai Namco Switch Games This Winter, With Up To 75% Off (North America)
Managed to pick up Ni No Kuni physical for $25 US on Black Friday. Tempted to pick up Digimon too after all I've read about it.
If any of you have never played Katamari Damacy, this is a great price. One of my all-time favorites!

Re: Contra: Rogue Corps Receives Another Free Update, Includes Switch Only Adjustments

I have put hundreds of hours into this game and can't wait to come back! The support that Chucklefish is showing for this game is phenomenal. I am seriously considering double dipping on the physical version just to support them.
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest XI S Fends Off Ghost Recon: Breakpoint To Stay Number One
I can't say enough how much DQ XI deserves all its sales. Fantastic game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 5th)

Time will tell. I would still wait to buy a Switch Lite.

Hopefully we can use the joycon as a lightgun.
Re: King Of Cards And Showdown "Will Be The End Of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove"
Are these parts coming to the Wii U version? Yes I still play my Wii U.
Re: Feature: Just Who The Heck Is Terry Bogard, Smash Bros. Ultimate's Latest DLC Fighter?
Ha...my 18 year old son (who loves Super Smash) came up to me and said "Dad, who's Terry Bogard?" I said, "We're playing KoF later."
Re: Video: Panic Button's Torchlight II Is Out On Switch Today, Here's A New Trailer
Great Diablo-style game! I highly recommend it.
Re: Poll: Astral Chain Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Game looks great but with so many great games coming out and a huge backlog, I can wait.
Re: Nintendo Removing Credit Card Support From 3DS And Wii U eShop In Europe
Wow sorry to hear this. It would be smart of Nintendo to do a massive 3DS eshop sale for about a week or two before support ends. I would definitely purchase a lot.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24th)
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest for me
Re: Video: New Windjammers 2 Trailer Introduces Two New Characters
@Luffymcduck Maybe it's Biaggi Jr.?

Re: Decade-Old DS Game Dragon Quest V Re-Entered The Japanese Charts This Week
Very cool! Got very far in this game in the last year. This reminds me that I need to go back and finish it.
Re: The Grandia HD Collection Arrives Next Week On The Switch eShop
It will be mine. Oh yes...it will be mine.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 3rd)
Since I cant afford 3 Houses just yet, I went back and finally beat Fire Emblem Echoes on 3DS. Now I am playing Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, which I had never played. Both are great!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 27th)
@Ralizah Ha, thanks. I will get through this!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 27th)

Re: Civilization VI Dev Explains Why Online Multiplayer Wasn't Included In The Switch Version
I love turn-based strategy, but without at least hot seat at launch, this was a hard pass for me. At a lower price and with hot seat, maybe in the future.
Re: Review: Fantasy Strike - Taking The Fighting Genre Back To Basics
@commentlife Ha awesome. I did Sanwa quiet buttons and a Seimitsu stick
Re: Review: Fantasy Strike - Taking The Fighting Genre Back To Basics
@commentlife Thanks! Yes it's the 8bitdo. I was trying to emulate the old Street Fighter 2 cabinets. I definitely recommend the 8bitdo. Easy to mod and plays great.
Re: Review: Fantasy Strike - Taking The Fighting Genre Back To Basics
This definitely interests me, but $30US is a little steep for me right now. I will probably wait for a sale.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 20th)
