Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)

MARNY

The only double dip I have done is with Mario Kart 8, but I didn't get the DLC for that so the purchase was somewhat justified. IF they release Smash with all the dlc I will probably double dip that. But this.....this is just dumb. Didn't this game release for $50 when it first came out??? Ridiculous overcharging! I loved this game on my Wii U, but it's not worth $60 on Switch.

imo the biggest failure of the Wii U was the name. If it was named "Super Wii" I bet it would have done much better. The gamepad should have been optional, or not made at all. That would have lowered the price of the console dramatically. More people would have purchased it to go alongside their PS4/Xbox One/PC just for the exclusives because it would have been cheap.

I really like my Wii U. I still play Pokken, Splatoon, and Smash on it. I won't buy the Switch versions of those games because I enjoy firing up the Wii U and getting use out of it, and $60 for minimal added features (Pokken) isn't justifiable. I did get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for my Switch however because my MK8 came with my Wii U.

Re: Guide: Getting Started With The Pokémon Trading Card Game

@roadrunner343 it can be a hassle for sure especially if you collect. I have a couple competitive decks my girlfriend and I play with (she hasn't gone to a tournament yet but I'm trying to get her to go haha). One of the biggest issues I've seen in theme decks is the lack of good trainer cards. They are the engine of decks and they should be the main focus. Once you've got playsets of those you're golden.

Love the card game. Just recently got back into it. It is expensive if you want a competitive deck just FYI, but once you get playsets of the staple trainer cards (energy is cheap and plentiful) all you'll need to do is get the Pokemon after that to have multiple deck builds.

Also don't even bother with booster packs, booster boxes, etc. unless you're collecting. If you're actually playing the game buying singles is wayyyyyyyyy cheaper. I would recommend a theme deck that fits your fancy and an elite trainer box to get started and go from there with singles.
