I would sub to a physical Nintendo Power magazine in a millisecond. Even just a quarterly type of thing. Zero hesitation

@Dazman are you ok? What’s this obsession with attacking a game as “designed for teenage boys”? You’ve said it in three posts. It’s such a weird hill to die on and makes you seem unwell.

As long as we’re dropping random announcements about remaster/remakes out of the blue, let’s do Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Luigi’s Mansion 1 HD, and Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters next.

@PikminMarioKirby 😂 your comment make me chuckle this morning.

That’s certainly Nintendo for ya. We expect a zig, so they zag.

Ah you lost me at GameStop.

I’d love to pick up that glow-in-the-dark Boo I missed previously, but locking these amiibo behind GameStop is such a horrible move. What is this 2010?? The website won’t let me select in-store-pickup and forcing me to pay their absolutely insane $7 shipping? I don’t think so. The hardest of passes.

Physical release when?

@AmyTheBrawler sadly we never get nice preorders in the US anymore. Those days are over. Bummer to see cool preorder stuff on the UK Nintendo Store website and other retailers and we get…nothing…boring acrylic stand plastic junk…

They’re the Taylor Swift of video game releases

I preordered this. Not because I’m a fan of the franchise, in fact I’ve never played a Famicon Detective Club game, or because I’m particularly excited about this release. Not sure I’ll even like it, but I’m just really intrigued by what this game even is and I look forward to experiencing it. I suspect that there will be 10 copies printed for the US, so if I want a physical copy and don’t want to spend stupid money on the reseller market later, it felt smart to preorder this now.

Physical editions of the dual pack are up on Best Buy, Target, etc

There’s also a collectors edition that’s different from the exclusive one on the publishers website.

Look, this is clearly a piece for adult collectors with disposable income and is really freaking cool. But man, I can’t help but think my $300 would be better spent on, ya know, an actual Nintendo Switch successor system. To each their own, though.

@martynstuff I think you’re right. And that’s my point. If I’m paying $50 to buy the physical game vs $50 for the digital deluxe version, my $50 is just as green, so why wouldn’t Sega offer the dlc content for free to everyone across the board? It seems like that’s what’s happening here, or their marketing is just poor. But it reeks of this push to encourage digital sales over physical.

Sega is clearly pushing the Digital Deluxe edition really hard here. But what they are unclear about and I’m not sure I understand is, does purchasing the physician edition get us the digital season pass with the extra level and skin for Shadow? It looks like a holiday 2024 dlc drop, but I can’t imagine they will require physical customers to purchase it while giving it to digital deluxe customers for free. Am I misunderstanding something?

I agree with everyone’s sentiment that $200 for a box filled with dollar store trinkets is insane. The art book is probably the only worthwhile item, assuming you like the art style to begin with.

What caught my eye though, is what they are calling the Deluxe edition is called the “Walmart Edition” on Walmarts website and has been listed for months. I preordered my copy back in March and it lists the same items as the Deluxe edition. Even more curiously it’s priced at $39.99 for all that stuff, steel book, art book, etc. It’s still at the $39.99 so grab it before they change it!

@EVIL-C ugh 😩 I wish GameStop US offered the Gamecube slipcover preorder bonus. Has to be one of my favorite preorder ideas in a very long time. Also wish GameStop Canada shipped to the US…or some swell person across the border would be willing to help me out 😃

@ecco6t9 it’s been on Best Buy for preorder for several days

Not sure it was mentioned if/how limited the physical will be but the Deluxe Edition is already available on Best Buy for preorder

@Yojimbo GameStop has a handful of both Rise and Stories amiibo online right now fyi

OMG that’s the exact same diorama as the Club Nintendo exclusive from years ago!!!! The hoops I remember jumping through to get enough coins to get that thing before it “sold out”. WOW memory lane lol. Can’t believe they remade it and are just giving it away with preorders now.

@LikelySatan SAME! haha my controversial opinion is that the Wii U would have been a much bigger success if they had just called it Super Wii instead

Really interesting announcement.

My initial thought it, thank goodness they’re skipping a 2024 release. The franchise needs to rest a bit.

My second thought is launching on Nintendo Switch “systems” is a coded reveal that this will be a dual release as a 2025 launch game for Switch 2/Super Switch, as well as releasing on current Switch, a la Breath of the Wild.

@Tyaku care to link to Pyra & Mythra please? I’m only getting scalpers selling for $70++

@link12684 also in stock on target.com as of this moment

Will this be sold at Best Buy like LRG games in the past?

@presenttense curious, did any of the minor gripes in this article truly convince you to cancel your preorder? Or will you still buy it and have fun with the games as you intended and disregard the whining of the internet.

What’s the issue with slapping 6 old pixel games onto a cart and releasing it physically on stores? I don’t understand the business model of making the physical editions so limited and locked behind the Square online store. Lately I feel like, is Square even a real company anymore? Is anyone even trying or even cares? Their HD-2D games are generally pretty solid and they obviously care about FF7 as a franchise with all the remakes, but everything else seems to be in the dumpster.

My 2 cents.

@RamenNumerals I can honestly say I’ve never been disconnected or penalized for that disconnect on Splatoon 3. It’s been a super stable online experience for me.

Aaaand it’s sold out!

So they’re not 550 platinum points each, it’s for the set of 3. I was surprised it wasn’t individual also. I got my order in and threw in a Mario/Rabbids Spark keychain to boot to make the shipping worth while. These all look fun!

@Moistnado I recommend picking up a cheap copy of Active Life Outdoor Challenge. It’s often on sale at Target for $15 and comes with 2 legs straps which is a nice hack rather than buying leg straps outright for $10 alone.

Finally was able to lock in my preorder!!

Haven't gotten the confirmation email yet but it is showing as processing in my purchase history soooo I'm optimistic and happy.

Hope everyone that wanted and waited was able to get their preorder in!

@PBeni Hey, congrats! Did you like JUST place your order? I'm still in the queue so wondering if it's worth it to keep waiting?

I'm confused by the process. My experience:

I've been in the waiting room on and off since the presale went live.

I was able to get the special edition in my cart a few hours into the waiting process. It even allowed me to start to "check out" my cart. I could clearly see there was an item in my cart but it wasn't allowing me to choose my shipping method and actually pay for it. I was then kicked back to the red screen queue to keep waiting.

A couple hours ago I was finally brought back to the checkout process. Again I could see the item in my cart but it was telling me that the item was sold out. SOLD OUT?

Now I'm back in the red screen queue again. Am I insane? Am I a glutton for punishment? Do I enjoy being treated like garbage by Nintendo? LMAO.

My question is, should I keep waiting? Is the special edition really sold out or, since I'm in the queue again, should I keep hanging in there??? Advice appreciated.

I’m staying optimistic and holding out hope for this movie. Given how much oversight Nintendo and Miyamoto have on it I can’t imagine things going poorly. That being said 😬. Why are we trying out new voices for a character that has had a very defined presence for 30 years? The first things that come to mind are the initial Sonic movie design and the Michael Bay TMNT aesthetic changes and it doesn’t instill confidence.

@ludotaku Super Switch. Period. They already have the successful history of the “Super” name being linked to Nintendo in people’s minds. Add it to the success of the Switch brand. It seems like a no brainer. Imagine if the WiiU was called Super Wii, perhaps things would have been different there.

@Ulysses it may be too late now but for the future I always recommend Target. Aside from being just generally an enjoyable shopping experience, Target price matches with little hassle. Meanwhile, GameStop is trash and acts like you’re robbing them when you try to price match.

@AndrewP lmaooooo the way you’re trolling all of those posters who lack a sense of humor and sarcasm and are loosing their minds is 👨‍🍳 💋 epic, well done 👌🏼

@dazzleshell any thoughts or guesses what the Pokémon game might be? you think it’s another remake?

@flibblesan do share please

@riChchestM follow up to your post, apologies if this has been answered, will the code work on North American Switch eShops?

@Ulysses preach!!! Don’t get me started on the GameStop exclusive Monster Hunter amiibo 😳 😠

@Bret I’m going to agree with you on this. The employees usually tell me they have stacks of them left over and end up throwing them out. Same thing with the current Best Buy code give away, the employee reached into a good size box and had no problem handing me four.

These end up being anything but rare so I hope people aren’t paying any significant money for them to scalpers on resale sites.

I can’t believe they’d launch this game with only 2/4 Ninja Turtles playable. Apologies if there has been dlc news that I just have missed? Either way I’m oddly excited for this game and looking forward to a review.

@Tourtus wow can I just ask are you positive this is 100% accurate? If so then this is kinda huge info. I’ve always been rushing and racing to place my order thinking that Nintendo gives out more codes than there are items and it becomes a first come first serve situation.

@Oh_Well agreed 100%! I’d gladly spend money on DAC physical and add others to the mix too

Yeah this is frustrating for me as I own the physical of the first release. Do they really expect people to rebuy the same thing with jungle book added?

@Tandy255 the funny thing is that everyone losing their minds about pricing can easily find every game you mentioned cheaper with very little effort.

Most games can be found at launch for $10 off, so $50. Personally, if I really want a game then that’s sufficient for me. If I don’t need it at launch and am willing to wait, then the sky is the limit. I bought Pikmin 3 and DK Tropical for $30 each by waiting a while since I already owned them on WiiU so was in no rush to pay full price for them.

I understand the concept and point that Nintendo shouldn’t be charging $60 for 10+ year old games that in theory should be available on eShop or Nintendo Online. But it’s 2021 and this is a free market, always wait for a deal.

@Xaessya hi sounds like you’re knowledgeable and familiar with this series, so can these be played if you haven’t played/aren’t familiar with the story of the first “set” of games? I’ve always liked and been intrigued by this series but should I even bother or will I be really lost?

@Clarice no thanks, I’m wayyy past being goaded into debates with covid/election deniers. Data is all around you, you just have to look outside the propaganda provided by your cult.

Be well, be safe, wake up, and go enjoy your Nintendo games, friend.

So they’re kinda like amiibo without the amiibo?
