Re: Review: Arcade Archives Sky Skipper (Switch eShop)

PLATINUM7

Got it because the Nintendo fan in me couldn't go without it. 6 sounds about right. It's easy enough to pick up and surprisingly fun but its age certainly shows. The price of Hamster's releases also doesn't help. Same price for early arcade games like this and later Neo Geo games can make it a harder sell. If you're curious, maybe just wait till you have some gold coins you don't mind using.

My left joycon would really only experience issues if a part of me got in the way. I exclusively use the pro controller when playing docked now so that solved my problem. Even in tabletop with joycons, everything's positioned so that no part of me gets in the way.

"I'd rather get no money than just a little"

WTF.

I'll gladly take the small but imo, reasonable rebate. I'm not expecting to use the coins to purchase full retail games but I already managed to save $10 on purchases, $5 of which I got quickly from the new system. It'll be great for getting the cheaper titles either for free or at a discounted price. I can see myself picking up a lot more of Hamster's offerings because of this new system.

And if I compare it to what other loyalty programmes I'm apart of, I'm either getting about as much money back as others or it's flatout better because I don't have to buy so much within a certain period or spend ridiculous amounts of money to claim some crap prize.
