It also helps that this game is a "life simulation", when real life sucks so much right now. It gives people something to do each day.
Then again, most hardcore Animal Crossing fans live a simulated life even during the best of times, so who really knows what's going on with the sales.
MVG admitted he made his video based on heresy, and never actually looked at the documents himself. Weak, considering he himself is a pretty accomplished modder.
I agree with you, I hated the artwork from day one.
But I've seen video that there is an option to pixelate all the backgrounds and bad guys, plus you can play as the original pixelized characters, and it looks MUCH more appealing that way.
I will still wait for a sale though when it's around half price.
Logistically that doesn't seem easy, and it would also add major costs to them. Everything is crappy now anyways, so what's another slight disappointment here and there
Those retail games are freight shipments that get sent to a distribution centre, then dispersed from there. The Kickstarter ones would be individually packaged, labelled and shipped via regular mail to each person, which numbers in the thousands all over the world, so it's not as simple.
Will see if I can sell my Steam code for $10 or something, then use that money to buy another month of premium on PornHub now that my free trial ran out.
Point being, nearly all third party releases on the Switch which come to the system several years after the rest, are significantly more expensive than the same game on other systems.
And Resident Evil Remake is $39 on the Canadian eshop, and it's like $8 on PSN every other month π No package deal bro
I agree. It reminds me of how Nintendo charged full price for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with no discounts for those who already bought Mario Kart 8 and the DLC on Wii-U a couple years earlier. Talk about a rip-off!
Oh really? Off the top of my head, Alien Isolation, Doom, all of the Resident Evil Games, and the vast majority of third party multiplatform games released on Switch (that have come several years after they were released on other consoles) have ALL been more expensive then they are on other consoles π€‘
Doom was released on the Switch for like $50-60 when it could be purchased on PSN, Steam, etc for $8-10.
Okay, maybe I was wrong about vegans. Let me revise my statement...
"Have you ever met someone who has worked 10 years in a pizza shop before who doesn't remind you of the fact they worked in a pizza shop for 10 years every chance they get? No...no one has."
That's now factually 100% true, based on my sole experience.
Have you ever met a vegan before who doesn't remind you of the fact they are vegan every chance they get? No...no one has.
Same goes for identity politics and this dude.
Best to just ignore it, like everyone outside of Twitter and a handful of websites do. You are both helping to turn this comment section into exactly what you hate, so if you don't like it, just don't engage it and let it fizzle out.

I watched Jay and Bob Reboot on Amazon and it was one of the worst "comedies" I've ever seen! It was so bad, I heard Kevin Smith did another movie called "Yoga Hosers" which was possibly worse, so I watched that too, and couldn't believe that anyone at any time believed this man had talent.

Re: Video: Performance Is "Still An Issue" In The Switch Version Of The Wonderful 101
Paid $60 for the Kickstarter Switch physical version, sold the Steam code for $30.
So I paid $30 for the game basically, which now seems like a good price since it doesn't seem to have had a lot of work put into it.
Hopefully by the time I get mine in the mail in a couple months there will have been a patch or two that improves things
