Got the Asian physical bundle of 1+2 last year so I will gladly pass on this one. I expect nothing on SquareEnix upgrades to Switch 2 and I am still disappointed.
Love French comics and was curious about those Microid games using French characters. I will try this demo and see. I remember the days of excellent Capcom and Sega games with Disney franchises, nowadays most games of franchises aren't worth the asking price.
Torn on this one. Like, but not love, Fire Emblem and find USD 80 too high for one game, plus possible DLC. Have all of then since Awakening. However, the other ones on Switch (Engage and Three houses) are hard to find and over 100 USD where I live. I will wait for my local price and decide.
Very unpopular opinion, but I keep disliking Mario Kart more every new entry. I played every one only single player since the first one, and found they are more hectic and luck based every new entry, to a point that devalues skill.
There are races in MK8DX that I got hit 3 times with blue shells and lost because of it. World have these bland intermissions of open road for just one lap in a circuit, the elimination one is a good use of the open world through. Ironically, despite its gacha mechanics and auto acceleration, Tour felt a better blend of skill and luck than the later console games, with plenty of tracks available, with reverse and extreme versions of the tracks for variety.
I liked Rosalina, the Koopalings, assist mode and the new power up, but I do not care for the minigames or multiplayer-focused content, so I think I will pass, just like I did with Jamboree Tv. 20 USD is a lot in my local currency for dlc that I am only half interested.
@Lofoten Agreed! A Capcom collection of Disney 16-bit games, especially the Magical Quest series and a Sega collection based around the Illusion series and Quackshot would be perfect. Two must-have game collections.
Already noticed that French prices are the lowest in the EU, beating Spain, which used to be the lowest (don't live in the EU but buy on different Amazons there for the Vat discount). Maybe is a Nintendo France strategy? I think Nintendo has their biggest European market share in France.
Rated 14+ by Brazil Rating Board on September 8th. Published on Diário Oficial (Brazil's official gazette) on September 9th. Perhaps an official announcement incoming?
So far, I bought only the Kunitsu-gami on key card to test the format. For me, it is a mix of the worst aspects of physical and digital. It relies on the cart to play and uses most of the space on the memory. I consider myself a physical first gamer and the lack of games on cart this generation discourages me on impulse purchases. Digital can be fine for indies, huge discounts or as a last resort for hard to find games.
Got my 1TB Lexar on amazon.com as soon as they said on the Direct that it is the accepted storage. Bought on my phone while watching the Direct on my Tv. Sold out when the Direct finished.
Got my preorder on Amazon Spain Friday morning. As soon as I saw on Reddit that european amazons were taking preorders, I checked all of then until I got one with the Mario Kart World bundle. No red tape or invitations only.
I wanted a date for Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon ZA, or ports for other Metroid Prime 2 and 3, or F-zero/Star Fox ports(I can dream). Not a fan of Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven. No news for Layton or Sonic racing. Only Hot Shots Golf and Patapon 1+2 for me, plus Super Robot Wars Y from the Japanese direct. 5/10.
Brazilian here. Just created an account to post here. In the 3ds/WiiU gen some Nintendo games were localized to Pt-pt in Europe like Mario kart 8, Mario&Luigi dream team/ Paper jam, Mario party Island tour/Star rush and Super Mario maker. Due to region lock, most brazilians were unable to enjoy Nintendo games in any variation of Portuguese. During Switch era, WiiU rereleases got Pt-pt if previously translated, however Mario kart 8 only has Portuguese in the EU version, which forces us to pay even more if we want it in a version of our language. It is definitively a step in the right direction and is a day 1 buy for me. If only Advance Wars gets the same treatment...

Re: Talking Point: Have You Bought A 1TB Micro SD Express Card Yet?
Bought a 1Tb during the Nintendo direct reveal for the Switch 2. No regrets so far. It got expensive and hard to find this year.
