@SonOfVon "supposedly" it's because of the ongoing problems that are unfolding at blizzard. But pushsquare released a review. And other sites are saying the xb version is having sign-in issues, since launch. I've been enjoying my copy on the switch, since release. To each, their own, I guess.
@Bermanator nso-expansion is still cheaper than xblg, by $10. Both allow online play and cloud saves. Both give "free games". Why is the nso-ex such a bad deal compared to the others?
Ha! Now the states are getting screwed on pricing, albeit, not by much. €40 is $46.11, £35 is $48.16, but we gotta pay the flat $50. Why are these companies so bad at converting prices, then adding the necessary fees and taxes from there. On a side note, is this a better deal than the equivalent xbox live(or gold, whatever it's called) and ps+?
I'd rather have the newer guardian heroes ported over, along with shining force III and dragon force. Oh and firepro would be nice, either the sega saturn version or port the ps4 version over.
@Tim_Vreeland meh, still too expensive for an older game. If I'm gonna spend upwards of $50+s/h, I might as well do, what i did. I got it for $20, technically. Prime evil had dii and diii for $60, plus I had $20 credit. So win-win. Best of luck to your sales, though.
I bought this game, twice, on ps4. One for me, another for a friend. Then again on xbss. A fourth time isnt too much, is it? Especially for tetris effect on the go..
@BigE since release, I was wondering the samething. But then someone brought up the whole blizzard debacle, and I thought "huh, that sucks for vicarious visions, the devs of diablo ii: re" but then seeing how dii:re is number one on the eshop in the uk, I guess those people are just all bluster. Anywho, I bought the prime evil edition, cause it comes with diablo III, as well. Fyi, here in the states, a physical copy of diablo III for switch goes for $150+.
@nessisonett well, that's a disservice to vicarious visions who did a majority of the development. But understandable cause of the whole blizzard debacle.
Prior to this switch review, the game got middling scores. Not surprised a poorly reviewed game, got a poor port, which resulted in it reviewing poorly, again.
@Franklin Mario 64 is already on the switch, with 3d allstars; mario golf? Already have mario golf rush; pokemon stadiums not on the list, but pokemon snap is and they also have a NEW pokemon snap. The redundacy in the games is absurd, but a fanboy will swoon. So, I stick with my previous comment of "meh".
@Wavey84 "lol it always cracks me up when these self righteous, nose up in the air, do no wrong, super judgemental snow flakes get extremely touchy and sensitive about"..another person's opinion.
I love bayonetta. Just started bayonetta 2. More of the same, and that's awesome!! I'll be ready for 3,(bayonetta's) but til then, plenty of games. D2:re, unmetal, etc.
@FishyS I was guilty of this very thing. After finding tlou2 and persona strikers(switch) still wrapped in plastic, I vowed to keep my release day purchases to a minimum. Basically multiplayer game's I don't want to be left behind in, ie bf2042(maybe), elden ring(wasn't ever able to experience dark souls multiplayer, always late to the party), are day one. The singleplayer titles I'll wait for a sale.
You know, this brings to mind a few proverbs: "A fool and his money, are soon parted" "A sucker is born every minute" "An ass, who blows through dollars, has no sense"
Now, I'm not one to tell others "how to spend your money" but, Cmon, man!

Re: Review: Dying Light Platinum Edition - A Solid Switch Port That'll Please Portable Players
@JustMonika I love the constant updates, free content updates. Techland isn't talked about as much, when people discuss good developers.

I wonder how many adopters of the game are new to dying light or double dipping.

Re: So, What Happens When Pokémon GO Runs Out Of New Pokémon?
I dont know how this game works, presently, but they should allow the players to join "gyms" and battle other players. Or is that a thing now?

@Spider-Kev right on! That's what I'm talking bout!
Just found out, the game in question is "the Longing". Has anyone beaten that one yet.
Re: Another Fan Claims To Have Reached Nintendo Switch's Maximum Hour Count
Speaking of "hours" played. Has anyone started or finished that one switch game that took 400hrs to beat, or unlock the ending or whatever it was.

Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online N64 Game Ranked
Meh, a lot of these games are on the switch, in a newer or better iteration. From mario, platformer/sports/rpg; to pokemon and zeldas.
I wonder if the people clamoring for these, are the same ones complaining about remakes/remasters.
