We have very strict biosecurity laws to protect native flora and fauna from threats such as disease and pests brought in from overseas.
I use the soundtrack feature in games pretty much all the time when they're available. Listen to Smash's tracks through the Switch frequently and I can see myself doing the same with this.
@Tisteg80 I think everything should be available through the in game shop (barring a vehicle used for a charity fundraiser and the PS exclusive retro skins). It's a grind to get everything from the store though, unless you play online regularly or pay for in game currency.
Experience does not equal grinding and the Paper Mario games basically prevented it anyway by reducing the experience gain from weaker enemies as you levelled up.
Would be cool if we could all get stuff like that but y'know, cheaper. Looks like the soundtrack is piano arrangements which would be pretty cool. I own the original soundtracks for these games but having piano remixes of them would be great.
@JasmineDragon It's still quite common in Japan. Had to leave some places because there were so many people smoking indoors I found it hard to breathe.
Been looking at too many memes. As soon as I read, "In terms of production and shipping" my brain auto filled it to, "we have no production and shipping".
@Burning_Spear Namco still owns Ms. Pac-Man but AtGames managed to buy royalty rights for it from people who had it originally. So while Namco could still use it, they'd have to pay AtGames which they don't want to do.
@BuckeyeNerd You can turn off auto and select all your moves yourself. If you were avoiding enemy encounters, it's no wonder you found the game grindy. I played the games beating just about everything I came across and never once had to grind. Items that inflict status elements were also plentiful in explorers and they pretty much removed the threat of higher level enemies.
@RedBlueCarrots A delay everywhere or just in the dungeons? Because if it's the latter it might be because everything in the dungeons is turn based, even movement which constitutes a turn.
With Crystalis on this and the SNK collection, I wonder if other publishers will start putting games on these services, even if they are part of collections already on Switch.
I'm not sure multiplatform will mean anything. Publishers often file for a multiplatform rating to save having to file again should they rerelease the game later on. For instance, Nintendo always goes for a multiplatform rating.
What an incredible 20 years it's been. Played each Smash game for hundreds of hours and Ultimate's quickly made it's way to my most played Switch game. Can't wait to see who the remaining DLC characters are!

Re: Nintendo Switch eShop Launches In Brazil Next Week With 700 Games Available On Day One
Eshop, you're going to Brazil.
Re: Original Bit.Trip Games Confirmed For Switch Via eShop Listing
I have Bit.Trip Saga but wouldn't mind getting them on Switch. Maybe not Core though. Beats from all sides of the screen was way too much for me.

Re: Random: It's Possible To Play PS5 (Or Any Other Console) Via Your GBA
Kind of reminds me of playing my PS2 through the small screen of a portable DVD player when I'd go on holiday.
Re: Random: No, The World Ends With You Sequel Is Not A Persona 5 Rip-Off
Persona fans would look at high school and call it a rip off of Persona.
Re: A Short Hike's Sales Have Been "Much Stronger" On Switch Compared To PC
Good to hear it doing well. I really enjoyed this game.
Re: Bravely Default II Has Been Rated For The Nintendo Switch
@Northwind
The ACB's M rating is analogous to the ESRB's T rating.
@HotGoomba
It got that rating for gambling games (e.g. Texas Hold em).
Re: Yes, Monster Hunter Rise Is Running On Capcom's RE Engine
Well if they can't port the RE games, why not make new ones with the Switch in mind like they're doing with Rise.
Re: Nintendo Has More Media Projects In The Works Beyond The Mario Movie
Let's just hope they're good.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase To Air Tomorrow
Last one got me excited with the Collection of SaGa and seeing more of KHMoM. From rumours I've got an idea of what might be announced here.
Re: Today's The Big Day - Happy 35th Anniversary, Mario!
Been playing Mario games since I started gaming and can't see myself stopping. Just so many great games featuring Mario!
Re: Mario Kart Live Isn't Nintendo's First Try At Remote Control Cars
I had a few RC cars that could only turn right so I usually had more fun just moving them around with my hands as a kid.
Nice that you dug into Before Mario for this. The blog is a great read for Nintendo fans. Lots of fascinating stuff on there.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Includes More Than 170 Classic Songs For Your Listening Pleasure

Re: Top Smash Melee Player Unsure About Future Involvement In Competitive Scene
Can't say I've ever really seen Hbox as a villain like he feels he is seen. Whatever he decides, I hope the best as he's entertaining to watch.

Re: Random: The Pokémon Company Re-Uploads Its Pokémon Unite Videos, And Fans Aren't Happy
How can people be this upset when New Pokemon Snap exists.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Live Airs Friday With Reveal Of New WayForward Game
It literally says in the article and links to a follow up tweet that WayForward's game is based on a 3rd party property.
It's not Metroid.
Re: Square Enix Officially Confirms Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory For The West
I'd been thinking a Theatrhythm KH would be great. It being a KH rhythm game is close enough.
The stuff with Kairi is also interesting so they didn't just make a KH rhythm game and call it a day.
I'll probably get the Switch version for the portability.
Re: Can You Name The First Game These Famous Characters Appeared In?
The question on Kirby is incorrect. He has a cameo in Arcana for the SNES which released one month before Kirby's Dream Land.
I got 15/15 otherwise but still.
Re: The Emulation Experts At M2 Developed The Namcot Collection
@Burning_Spear
Namco still owns Ms. Pac-Man but AtGames managed to buy royalty rights for it from people who had it originally. So while Namco could still use it, they'd have to pay AtGames which they don't want to do.
Re: Looks Like Bandai Namco Is Bringing Its Retro Collection To The West As Namco Museum Archives
That demaster of Championship Edition sounds interesting.
Re: Trials Of Mana Spirits Are Being Added To Smash Bros. Ultimate Later This Week
Meanwhile, a certain other Square Enix series with a playable character has zilch for spirits.
Re: Resident Evil 3 Datamine Uncovers Curious References To Nintendo Switch
It would be nice to play RE on a console that doesn't sound like it's getting ready for take off.
RE2 was great but trying to listen for Mr X's footsteps over the sound of the console was a pain.
Re: Devolver Digital's Pikuniku Is Just 99 Cents On The Switch eShop Right Now (North America)
It's 92% off on the Australian eshop and I'm willing to bet there are more regions included in the sale.
Got the game because of the sale and have been having fun with it. It is very charming.
Re: Random: There's Now A Grand Total Of Three Games On The Switch eShop In China
There are three Marios. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
Re: Japan Picks Its Favourite Final Fantasy Game And Character
FFX was my first FF. If it was a little less linear, it would probably be my favourite. That currently goes to VI.

Re: Crikey! Ty The Tasmanian Tiger Arrives On The Nintendo Switch Next Month
Only Ty game I have is the third one, so I guess I'll keep me eye on this.
Re: Introducing The 64Mate, A New All-In-One N64 Storage Add-On "Launching Soon" On Kickstarter
I don't think that would even hold all my N64 games.
Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Six Classic Games
With Crystalis on this and the SNK collection, I wonder if other publishers will start putting games on these services, even if they are part of collections already on Switch.
Re: One Of Pokémon's First-Ever Designs Was A Cute Godzilla, But It Didn't Make The Cut
Yeah, I saw these on Bulbapedia years ago. There's some cool unused Pokemon designs documented there.

This looks delightfully bonkers.
Re: Suda51 Says No More Heroes 3 Is "About 35 To 40 Percent Complete"
Really looking forward to this.
Would also be down for NMH1+2 on Switch.
Re: Random: Bizarre Super Mario Theme Remix Found In Dino Crisis 2 On PlayStation
Yoshi Crisis?
Re: Beauty Bottler Bonza! TY The Tasmanian Tiger Has Already Been Funded For Switch
Never played the first two games but I did have Ty 3, which I really enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing this on Switch.

Re: Datamine Uncovers Possible Post-Launch Characters Coming To Crash Team Racing
Koala Kong, Komodo Moe and N. Brio were suppose to be in a previous data mine.
I hope at least Bianca gets added to the Spyro roster.
Re: Soapbox: The Nintendo World Championships Is Tired, And So Am I
I really enjoyed the Mario Maker segment :/

Looking forward to both.
Re: Random: Reggie Shows Off More Of His Retirement Gifts On Twitter
@RickD
It says in the quote it's a plastic ass to kick.
Anyway, something interesting about the artwork. There's a character hidden behind the Mario statue. You can see a robotic hand.
Re: Australian Ratings Board Suggests A Multi-Platform 'Castlevania Anniversary Collection' Is On The Way
I'm not sure multiplatform will mean anything. Publishers often file for a multiplatform rating to save having to file again should they rerelease the game later on. For instance, Nintendo always goes for a multiplatform rating.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Thanks Fans For Playing Smash Bros. Series Over The Past 20 Years
