@UltimateOtaku91 It's been about 8 months since game key cards have been a known thing. People still haven't moved on. How is it worse on PS5? A vast majority of games don't need the internet to download the game. Install? Sure, but that's from the disc. It doesn't talk to the internet.
@Gamer83 @PikminMarioKirby Both PS5 and Switch 1 had steep discounts. Switch 2 didn't. That's it.
@montrayjak Innovative how? It's just a new Kinect.
@Jhena He cherry picks data to make Switch 2 look worse off than it is. One slightly negative article and he'll post a clickbait video saying Nintendo is doomed. I hate game key cards, overpriced games/upgrades, etc as much as the next person, but he's the stereotypical grifting ragebait YouTuber.
@Kingy What low quality products? That's so vague. It has to do with the squeeze on the economy. Everything is going up in price, while salaries are stagnating. I'm sure lots of people would buy these "low quality products" if they had money to spend and we weren't seeing price increases on everything.
@FrenchVaniIIuxe Okay? The article didn't say it was a good year to be a movie studio. What does box office revenue/viewership has nothing to do with the quality of the movies/TV shows? A lot of the content that came out what was well-received. When did Gunn ever say he was worried about being fired? With any merger or acquisition, people are curious about how they will be impacted, regardless of their success.
@Spider-Kev How are they comparable? They're not the same genre. Lol
@Misima What do you want exactly? There's been plenty in the past decade give or take a few years. Lego Marvel, Lego Batman, Injustice 1 and 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Deadpool, Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Guardians of the Galaxy
@calbeau Thunderbolts? Superman? Fantastic Four? You didn't think any of them were good?
@kmtrain83 All PS5 games require an install, but a majority don't require a download, which is different. The latter needs the internet. Blu-ray discs aren't fast enough to process data, which is why installs are needed.
@PinderSchloss So, any game you don't play is a 0 in your book? That's some strange logic. I think the normal thing to do would be to just not score it (ie NA).
You don't think the price of the game will ever fall? At which point you'd play it?
Who would give this a 1/10? Wtf 1/10 is reserved for games that are literally unplayable messes. I'd even say games like Sonic 06 don't deserve a 1/10.
@Olmectron Nintendo doesn't have to away from the servers to also go away. Nintendo themselves have stated that they plan on taking down the Wii server.
@RubyCarbuncle If you get "telling you what to do" from their tweet, then lol. They're just trying to let more people know the state of physical Switch 2 games.
@Porco If it gets that bad, the publisher could just, y'know, put the full game on the cartridge? There's no excuse for a tiny game like Puyo to be put on a game key card.
As a kid, I remember thinking it was so strange Sora in Kingdom Hearts didn't get hurt from fall damage. Up to that point in 2002, I played so many games where fall damage was the standard. It actually kinda bugged me. Lol
@dskatter They're getting cocky. MS, Sony, and Nintendo all do this when their previous system sells well. When they inevitably do bad with the follow up, they become humble to try to win people back over.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Do you have a source for Switch beating out PS2?

@Kingy Sludge factory? So dramatic. At least you didn't use the overused "slop."

Re: Pokémon Pokopia: All Confirmed Pokémon & New Variants
@MirrorFate2 Running out of ideas for what exactly? These are variants for a spinoff game not made by Game Freak.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Animal Crossing: Wild World
@BulkSlash That's what I thought. I thought it was straightforward.

Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
@CutchuSlow You won't buy because MS owns it?
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
@Spedfrom Naughty Dog's first game was quality?
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
@Thomystic Only an hour and concluded that the whole series is trash? Yikes. Lol
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
@coolioam Seems pretty dramatic. It looks great. Lol
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Did You Choose In Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Totodile is one of my favorite starters and Chikorita/Tepig are some of my least favorites. The choice was clear.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
@Aneira Why not?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2?
@OmnitronVariant But a 1? Really?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2?
Lol. Who would say it's abysmal? Based solely off pricing? Absolutely. But if we're looking at this collection in a vacuum, I don't get it at all.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
Europe really took the "Harvest Moon" name literally. Art feels more appropriate for a horror game.
Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival
@Ryu_Niiyama I'm confused. The 90s have been trendy.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
Who would give this a 1/10? Wtf 1/10 is reserved for games that are literally unplayable messes. I'd even say games like Sonic 06 don't deserve a 1/10.
Re: Rumour: Major Third-Party Devs Reportedly Sitting On Multiple Switch 2 Announcements
@rvcolem1 You love them, even though you don't buy them?
Re: Uh-Oh! It Looks Like Donkey Kong Bananza Is Already Out In The Wild
@Orwellian87 how'd you get it?
Re: Uh-Oh! It Looks Like Donkey Kong Bananza Is Already Out In The Wild
@SirLink Don't they always disclose whether it's a game card or not on the box? I don't even know why people were questioning it.
Re: EA Worker Pay Continues To Dwindle As CEO Picks Up $5 Million Bonus, Thus Creating Amusingly Tall Financial Graph
@johnedwin Depends. How much are the employees making? Is there as much of a discrepancy?
Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2
@Antray1984 It's not just about preservation. Also think about storage. Without a MicroSD Express, you can only fit a few games on the Switch 2.
Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2
@Shepdawg1 A vast majority of PS5 games are on the disc.

And an incomplete game that needs some updates is very different from something that needs online to work at all.
Re: Moo-ve Aside Mario Kart World, Garfield Kart 2 Is Racing Onto Nintendo Switch
I know the first game was garbage, but the art style for this actually looks pretty good.
Love how it has the dot-printing like a comic strip.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (Dreamcast)
@trcsf It's a random duo. Lol
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@RiasGremory All Sega games have been game key cards. Why would this be different?
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@Anti-Matter VF is known for being more realistic. I don't know why you need a super art gauge.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@Olmectron Nintendo doesn't have to away from the servers to also go away. Nintendo themselves have stated that they plan on taking down the Wii server.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@RubyCarbuncle If you get "telling you what to do" from their tweet, then lol. They're just trying to let more people know the state of physical Switch 2 games.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@NielsNL What's the excuse for the really small games being on game key cards?
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@darylb24 Many Playstation 5 games don't require to be downloaded. Aside from patches, the full game is on the disc.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@Porco If it gets that bad, the publisher could just, y'know, put the full game on the cartridge? There's no excuse for a tiny game like Puyo to be put on a game key card.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@NielsNL What happens when Nintendo pulls the server? That's the crux of the issue.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release
@twadebarcelona Because it appears to be more prevalent this generation? It's setting a bad precedent.
Re: Opinion: It's Time To Get Rid Of Fall Damage

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
@Erigen You're doing a disservice to Tron. That actually has style. This added some neon and called it a day.
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
@CheapCheepBeach Really downplaying the fact that it's portable.
Re: Nintendo Won't Reveal Donkey Kong's Switch 2 Dev, But We Might Already Know
@Lizuka What pacing issues?
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@John_Deacon All three of the console manufacturers do this. Look at Sony with the PS3 or MS with the One.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@aznable I definitely agree Nintendo is being greedy, but you seriously think Sony has been any different with the PS5? Lol.
You won't even get a Switch 2 when the price drops?
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@Kimyonaakuma I mean, Astro Bot was preinstalled, but you could delete it and reinstall it later if you wanted.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@Yosher Nintendo won't be greedy for long when the Switch 2 gets off to a slow start like the 3DS and Wii U.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@KBuckley27 This isn't really a game though. It's a bundle of glorified tech demos. Lol
Do you think Face Raiders, the Mii Plaza, and the AR game for the 3DS should've had a price tag as well? What about the various Wii Channel apps?
