This is fake news. I can barely find any in stores, and if I do it's woefully understocked. A lot of retailers have them in the bargain bins. Gamestop has a very small section for them by the Nintendo stuff.
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.
I love my Wii U minus the dumb gamepad gimmick. I truly believe the system would have sold FAR better had they - dropped the gamepad allowing them to sell the system for cheaper, picked a different name something like "Super Wii", and marketed the system towards ALL ages not just children.
Physical copies of the game are $20 brand new on PS4 and Xbox One. Ridiculous. I was never purchasing digital anyway. Perhaps IF they release a physical version at a lower price I will consider it.
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.
@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.
All these clone consoles are trash. They can never get the sound right and some games just flat out don't work correctly. I bought one a few years ago and had to return it because it started smoking after 20 minutes of play!

Awesome game!

Re: Nintendo Labo Racked Up Almost Double The Sales Of God Of War In Japan
Not buying Labo and don't know a single person who is. Good for Japan. Shelves at retailers here in the US are stocked full of it.
Re: Feature: Enjoy The Cardboard Craziness Of These Nintendo Labo Creations
Went to Target and Wal Mart yesterday. Shelves full of this crap. Flop city as expected.
Re: Limited Run Games Is Totally Down For A Physical Edition Of Yooka-Laylee
Physical copy or no purchase
Re: Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 And 2 Confirmed For Switch
If X3 isn't the SNES version there will be no purchase from me.
Re: Animal Super Squad, The New Game From PewDiePie, Is Headed To Switch
I wouldn't give a cent to anything that has to do with PewDiePie.
Re: Video: There's A Chill In The Air With This New Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Trailer
Hard pass on this. Have Wii U version and the price of the game being $10 higher than the original release is just unacceptable.
Re: Detective Pikachu Is Off The Case As It Debuts At Number 23 In The UK Charts
Anyone surprised by this? Why the game wasn't put on Switch is beyond me. Same with Ultra Sun & Moon.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's Switch File Is Almost Half The Size Of The Wii U Version
I simply will not buy full priced Wii U ports. Especially this one considering it was $49.99 when it first came out. Shame on Nintendo.
Re: Video: Check Out Blastoise In Action In The Latest Pokkén Tournament DX DLC
Couldn't care less. Keeps playing Wii U version of Pokken
Re: Video: Will Super Smash Bros. Switch Be a Port or a Brand New Game?
New developer. Will be a new game. Also it won't come out in 2018, Smash games always get delayed.
Re: The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle Is Confirmed For Switch Sleuthing
Looks dumb
Re: Review: Kirby Star Allies (Switch)
At least it's not another Wii U port
Re: Toys R Us Is Preparing To Liquidate Its U.S. Business, Reports Claim
Toys R Us was the king of overpricing their inventory. That and refusing to get with the times. Sad to see them go, but totally understand why.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Secretly Terrified Of An All-Digital Gaming Future
The day everything goes digital is the day I stop buying new games. I have quite a collection that will keep me busy my entire life.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)

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.
Re: You Can Now Spend Your My Nintendo Gold Points On Digital Switch Purchases
I refuse digital unless the price difference is significant compared to physical. I knew they would screw this up.

FAKE NEWS
Re: Feature: Getting The Best Picture Out Of Your Nintendo 64: The RGB Edition
@holygeez03 wouldn't be the first time NL advertised blatant piracy
Re: Review: Pokémon Crystal Version (3DS eShop)
Never owned this one so I will definitely pick this up. I have Silver on the original cart and HeartGold for DS so this is perfect.
Re: Nintendo Confirms ARMS Won't Be Getting Any More Major Content Updates
Decent game. I wouldn't buy a sequel to it though. Got old real fast for me. If you see it on sale it's worth picking up.
Re: Soon You'll Be Able To Give Your Switch A Whopping 512GB Of Extra Storage
"... with many readers opting to pick up SanDisk's 400GB card which you can currently pick up for £219.99 / $243 from Amazon."
$243 LMAO almost the cost of the Switch itself!
Re: Analysts Suggest Nintendo Switch May Have Sold 14.6 Million, Trounced Wii U Lifetime Sales
I love my Wii U minus the dumb gamepad gimmick. I truly believe the system would have sold FAR better had they - dropped the gamepad allowing them to sell the system for cheaper, picked a different name something like "Super Wii", and marketed the system towards ALL ages not just children.
Re: Reggie On The Future Of Nintendo Labo Regarding Third Parties
Hard pass. Kids I'm sure will get a kick out of this though.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch
Already have both for Wii U, so I won't be buying them. Nice these games get new life for those who haven't played them though!
Re: Rocket League Kicks Off 2018 By Scoring 40 Million Players Worldwide
Awesome game. Picked it up a few days ago while it was on sale.
Re: The Donkey Kong World High Score Record Just Got Smashed To Bits (Again)
Patriots fan? Probably cheated.
Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (Switch eShop)
I'll wait for a price drop and physical copy. $40 is absurd for a game that's under $20 now on other systems.
Re: Rocket League Collector's Edition for Switch Is Just Weeks Away from Retail Release
Double the price of the digital version? NOPE.
Re: Yooka-Laylee's Nintendo Switch eShop Price Is Revealed
Physical copies of the game are $20 brand new on PS4 and Xbox One. Ridiculous. I was never purchasing digital anyway. Perhaps IF they release a physical version at a lower price I will consider it.

Worms lol talk about a throwback
Re: Random: Did Reggie Just Accidentally Reveal Switch's Next Big Game Announcement?
Tropical Freeze was excellent, so here's hoping
Re: There's a Sonic Forces Demo on the Japanese eShop, But It Has a Strange Limitation
This game will be RUBBISH
Re: Exclusive: Game Freak Explains Why We Should All Play Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
If this was on the Switch it would have been a day one purchase for me. Very foolish of them not to put it on the Switch imo.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch)
@roboshort I'm sure there will be a month where there won't be a major, must have release. That's when I'll pick it up.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch)
Going to wait on this. I'll pick it up at some point next year probably when there's a game drought. Right now all my hype is for Odyssey.
Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Will Allow Online Team Battles In New Update
I'll buy when it drops in price and DLC is announced. Already bought it on Wii U and thus far not enough to make me double dip.
Re: Square Enix Explains Why The Secret Of Mana Remake Isn't Coming To Switch
I guess Square Enix doesn't like money.

Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Forces Is 720p, 30fps On Nintendo Switch
@kobashi100 I think you missed the point bud. 60 fps was achievable. Other third party developers are able to hit it no problem. End of argument.
Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Forces Is 720p, 30fps On Nintendo Switch
I have a feeling this game is going to be really bad if it can't hit 60 fps. Odyssey has no issue, so what gives?
Re: Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon Gets New Trailer And A Fresh Beast
Idiotic not to release these on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch Surges in Japanese Charts as Fire Emblem Warriors Makes Debut
You have to take into account that FIFA is a watered down port on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch Surges in Japanese Charts as Fire Emblem Warriors Makes Debut
@MsJubilee and good riddance. Everyone knows they'll release it with all the DLC a year later so what's the point in buying it now.
