Re: Shuhei Yoshida On Higher Switch 2 Game Prices: "It Was Going To Happen Eventually"

Multi

I think we all have short memories!

I remember importing street fighter 2 (USA) for £80, just so I could play it earlier than the UK release. I remember paying £60-70 for the first batch of N64 games, etc...

Higher prices for some games is just the way it has always been!

However they've had good 10 years to develop MKW, yet they'll drip feed the release and they released the same game over two systems in the interim.. dev costs surely we're offset by reselling the same game over and over

What I hate is Mario kart world already has planned DLC packs. Meaning £65 will be £115+.. Hopefully this time they won't be lazy and port mobile tracks over with substandard graphics.

Re: Japanese Retailer Is Asking The Public How To Combat Switch 2 Scalpers

In the UK, retailers (Argos) are limiting purchases to one per account / person. I ordered one for myself and another for my brother for his birthday. We have separate delivery addresses, different mobile numbers, contact names.. but I paid for both up front and they cancelled his order.

Clearly this is good practice to prevent scalpers, but some people genuinely can purchase more than one.

I'm patient, so I'll wait to get another switch 2. Possibly a 3rd for my daughter..

@Anti-Matter I have no interest in Ratchet & Clank so I guess we cancel each other out 😂

I don't understand the 3d Vs 2d stance tbh.. a good game is a good game. You pay for what you want to play & nobody is forced to buy outside of FOMO?
