Nice, free costume are nice. At least the few player in the game have something.

@TheAwesomeBowser You have bad internet, huh? Don't think I've heard of someone disconnecting 1 out of 3 matches. That's a new one. You know you can only blame Nintendo for so much. Sometimes it's the client and not the server.

@LUIGITORNADO @Romeo-75 oh I know it's a slim chance. But hey, I can dream, can't I?

Let's just hope it's sequel has 60FPS on Switch.

@Brumblescope Tighter? Care to explain please?

Sweet, big fan of PSO2. Now I can try out the original game where it all started. Instabuy. ^^

@Hordak It was half price during the Cyberweek deal. that would have been a good time to pick it up. ^^

heha, nice. If it has online multiplayer, I may consider giving this game a shot.

Huh, interesting. Nice to see some new subtle mechanics like this.

@mowerdude Digital downloads are more cost effective then Physical cartridges. Game being physical are slowly die off to time. Digital downloads are the future. ^^

@Retr0gamedad Matchmaking is still a nightmare. Pros vs. Newbies is a common thing. As long as they get a win, the try hards don't care. It's the newbies and rookies that suffer.

@goggles789 Nintendo is easy to work with. They are also trying to avoid the issue with the WiiU. I mean, do we want a lack of games?

@MattFox Agreed, they were just in the advance search setting. I mean, was it really that hard to just pull up the extra menu? People these days are lazy..

Nice, adding to wish list. ^^

@Moroboshi876 Sad but true. It is the world of business. Even Nintendo isn't an exception when it comes to the bottom line.

@sword_9mm It's the business world. At least they are charging through the roof when the indie devs need or want to patch their games like what Sony and Microsoft do.

@90sRetroGaming I already have them downloaded. And when the servers do go offline, I'm assuming this is past the Switch's era. Whether I'm going to play them long term is irrelevant. Most gamers beat the game are done with it (excluding game with online or multiplayer play).

Given that a digital release is more cost effective then a physical release, this does not surprise me. Digitial is the new standard. Physical release game are slowly becoming obsolete.

Nice to see the Switch version runs well.

The online for the game still a mess?

@link3710 I figured as much, given that the PSVita is discontinued. So unless mobile counts, Nintendo own the handheld market.

@PrincessBowsette Doesn't Nintendo own the handheld martket still? Or has that change in recent years in Japan?

Yes, we're getting an NA release. Finally, I can try out the first game. Loved PSO2 and enjoying PSO2. Be nice to play the original game where it all started.

Nice, can't wait to get him as a playable character. Game is fun just the online match making is unfair to newbie/rookie players.

Sweet, it's about time. Big fan of the PSO sereies. Enjoying PSO2 game. Can't wait to play the original Phantasy Star game.

@OldMcGroin agreed. A shame it's a hit ore miss thing. Seem to work fine with players from the same region. However, it would be nice to be able to game with some of my AUS buddies without much online play issues.

@SuperGhirahim64 Heha, the sad fact of cheap 3rd party alternative. They look cool and feel nice, but break down more easily.

@Kalmaro Didn't they say they wouldn't be doing anything like the virtual console anymore? I thought they would just bring the games out as standalone packages and what not?

While it would be nice, I would love to see the online version come instead. Games are more fun with multiplayer. Well, most games.

@Cobalt well put.

Sad but not surprising. Maybe in their next game.

@Dirty0814 I'm gonna be realistic and say it will only be Switch and Microsoft. Sony has weird a policy with cross play and PC is hit or miss.

If it happens, great. If not, then it's expected as much.

@Mountain_Man I figured as much.

@DonSerrot The PC version has no controller support. I'd be more inclined to believe in a PC/console crossover if this was a thing. Now if they prove me wrong, then yeah. More power to them.

@Bunkerneath heha, right.

While I don't see PC or Sony jumping into the cross play, Xbox and Switch cross play seem to be a fair assumption. Microsoft and Nintendo seem to be a good chums lately.

@sandman89 The Switch shares servers with the Xbox 1 players. The servers are fairly active.

@Madman1333 a patch for the online. All the console version are having some issues. So waiting there is a patch out to fix it before getting the game.

Hoping the patch for the online in the Capcom beat em up bundle comes soon. I really want that game.

Nice to see Armello at least made it into the honorable mentions. ^^

Playing Armello for the Switch. A friend and I got it as a game to play online together once in a while. Game is a lot of fun.

These controls look nice. If they add the option to use on PC, then this may be a good buy. ^^

Friends and I got the game. It 4 player local and online play. Seem to work out rather well.

Seems like until the online is fix, it'll be a great couch co-op game. Here to wishing the online is patch soon for FPS n such.

oh nice, can't wait to play it. ^^

@TurboTEF I noticed that too. The disclaimer did say it was still in the works. They did say the release was in 2019. Plenty of time to polish it up, and make sure the game run 60FPS easily. I mean, it do look and run well on the Gamecube days. Shouldn't be too hard right?

Heha, yes. FFCC, you can't be release fast enough. Can't wait to play some classic multiplayer gameplay.

Sad face. Would have loved the bundle..

This just means split community on the Switch. They should make it so that regardless of the game, if it's online then you have to have the online membership.

Not a deal breaker. I prefer digital to physical anyways. I have a big capacity micro SD card for a reason.

Digital releases are becoming the norm. Will never understand why people get so butt hurt when a game doesn't get a physical release.

@edgedino I believe the article has been updated with that info. The Switch version is a collector version. Base game plus all DLC for $40 bucks. Not a bad deal.

@edgedino corrected.

Sweet, new co-op game of the Switch. ^^

Dang, Sega Ages still hasn't come out for the US yet. I would love to actually play the first Phantasy Star game. Love the series since Phantasy Star Online. Would love to play the game that got the series going.

@edgedino each DLC pack came in with 4 new playable characters. Each one was a different race with different abilitee and play styles. It had like 3-4 I believe. So fair amount of content. It also got some new card. The board looks the same but I believe the spaces might be randomized.

@Blizzia Your questioned seem answered but yes. The game play like a board game. Up to 4 players try to save Armello.
