The only way I'd give up physical and go digital would be a guarantee those purchases would be there the rest of my life. The other thing would be past games wouldn't be pulled from sale because of licenses expiring etc.
This changes my purchase then. I'll get it for steam off a keyshop. If Konami wants to play the game I will as well. I get switch card sizes are more costly but why even have a physical release.
The pandemic changes actually got me back into it. I was around level 14 when I started again and now I'm at level 39. I bought a few remote raid passes during the pandemic, (I'm disabled in a wheelchair plus I have other problems from cancer) other than that I just caught Pokemon and leveled up that way but now after increasing it 95% I refuse to spend another dime. What gets me is if they played their cards right they got spenders who, before the pandemic never spent money could realistically keep buying the occasional raid pass or upgrades instead of nothing. The limit of 5 remote raids a day also theoretically stops people from spending more money if they want to get legendary they really want.
@ga3tr0n The original release doesn't include them as a separate option to play them? I held off with all the bugs but now I'll definitely not purchase it.
Now what about pokemon bank I really hope you can move pokemon from past gens. I know they said bank will still be usable but they never said if the transfer future would still be available. Does anyone know how to reach out and ask Nintendo?
And THIS is why I love Nintendo Life! I played this well over 20 years ago and could not remember the name of the original. Since then I’ve watched countless videos of old beat em ups for SNES with no luck. I am defiantly making a Japan eshop account later. Thanks again @Damo
I wonder if GameStop will print the code on a receipt like they do for other pre-order bonuses or does it come in the box. I know in the past when I've wanted other exclusive pre-order DLC the manager that I've gotten to know, gladly gives me a code even when I don't spend anything that trip.
Edit: didn't they do the same thing when Extreme Butoden launched for the 3DS? I think it was a SNES game that came with it and never was released for the mainstream.
It seems pricey for a port that looks like it's between Wii U and switch graphically. If Nintendo wants to port games, I wish they would consider games like Wario Land: Shake It. Something people probably missed out on at the time but would reach a broader audience and maybe help bring new games for the franchise.
I would stay away from this game. The PS4 version was ignored for over a year with promised content/bug fixes only to arrive after the player base dwindled, and now they are doing the exact same thing with the Switch version. The fact that it is a year behind the PC version (Just like the PS4 version when it launched) shows how committed they are.
I wonder if it was the other way around what people would say? Not that I agree with the move it seams people are jumping to conclusions of why it's not coming to the switch. Maybe the development started before the Switch became what it is today?
@Tsurii Personally I'm fine with this censorship. The times I think developers and publishers should not bend is when a game is rated over E-10+ or its equivalent around the world. As an adult, I shouldn't have a different experience based on where I am living.
Having never played Street Fighter what one would be good starting point? I use to be a big MK player on Gamecube and the original Xbox and want a good fighter.
@DanteSolablood I know I'm referring to the fact that people compare specs like they did the Wii U.
I can just see all the people saying "A next gen console and its power is between a Xbone and a base PS4 what junk. Nintendo should just go 3rd party now."
Considering the PS4 and Xbox1 where released 3 years ago this rumor, if true isn't the best of news. Yes Nintendo is well known for releasing underpowered hardware but this is just sad.
PS: This makes no difference as I plan on buying day 1 but think about all the "gamers" comparing specs between the big 3. I can just see all the people saying "A next gen console and its power is between a Xbone and a base PS4 what junk. Nintendo should just go 3rd party now."

Now if they could do this for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and not do the half on half off offering that we got.

Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask - DLC That Offers More, But Not Enough
@NinjaNicky I bought it at Best Buy with a discount and with a reward dollars that were expiring.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask - DLC That Offers More, But Not Enough
I bought the DLC but have had no interest in starting it. Looks like I'm not missing out with the performance issues still around.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Switch Physical Version Requires Downloads

So is this the sequel or the original 3DS one?

Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - Three Classics In One Shocking Package
So you played 3 big open world games enough in a 24 hour period to say they play like crap? I must be getting slow at my "old" age.
Re: Toy Soldiers HD Is Delayed Further For Switch
Typical at this point. Hopefully it runs smooth on release but I have little confidence.

Did anyone else's data get corrupted after the update and need to redownload the game?
Re: Billion Road To Receive Physical Switch Release, Will Be Distributed By LRG

Re: Taito's Ninja Warriors Reboot Will Make Its Way To Europe And North America
So this is getting a physical release an Asia?! If so I’m preordering. My most anticipated game this year along with borderlands and Pokémon.

Re: Phantasy Star Joins The Sega AGES Line On Switch Today
I have a question. What games are comparable to this? I've always heard people talk about Phantasy Star but have no idea what it compares to.
Re: Zen Studios Under Fire For Censorship In Pinball FX3, Explains It Was To Keep Game "Family-Friendly"

Re: Super Butoden Will Remain Exclusive To Dragon Ball FighterZ Pre-Orders

Re: Time Carnage - A Silly But Mildly Enjoyable Tribute To Classic Light Gun Shooters
Seeing this makes me want Time Crisis on the switch. That game was great with friends on PS2.

Re: Namco Museum Arcade Pac Is A 2-in-1 Bundle Coming Exclusively To Switch
@duffmmann I hope. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 cames with one on a cartridge and MMLC 2 with a download code.
Re: Namco Museum Arcade Pac Is A 2-in-1 Bundle Coming Exclusively To Switch
I hope they don't have the infamous download required because they are to cheap to use a bigger cartridge.

GameStop has them for ~$10 new. Bought one last week.
Re: Ironcast, A 'Steampunk Mech Combat Game', is Coming to Nintendo Switch

"Hello welcome to GameStop are to her to pick up the Switch?"
"Yes"

"Ok my son likes the eShoep so I'll just buy one since they say Nintendo Switch."
