Hell yeah! I bet that was an experience.

"Now, we've never really been fans of Dbrand's 'edgy' humour, since it often borders on being completely unprofessional"

Really? How sensitive the world has become.

I find it unprofessional to criticise dbrand publicly in a Nintendo article for something so petty.

Everything from dbrands packaging to their marketing leaves most businesses in the dust.

They are cheeky and edgy, and their businesses model is more professional than most, hence successful.

Long live the GameBoy DMG!

I still play Donkey Kong '94 every year (the original Mario vs DK, and still the best!).

G'day from Down Under.

I could not care less, it's just natural progression.

There will be a niche for those who do not wish to integrate, however it's unreasonable to think this is a serious problem.

I'm curious about how many people who are staunchly against this have spoken with game creators.

The question seems to cause emotional turmoil as if it's the Louvre museum.

At the end of the day, games are puzzles and stories mostly, and art secondary. The concept art helps the medium move, but the focus on graphics and art is not the core of the game, its simply a measure of how it evolved since the 70s/80s.

AI generated concept art will be beneficial, and the new normal.

For that money, I'd rather have an authentic Gameboy or other retro modified handheld on a display, which has an actual interactive purpose and can generate artistic conversation.

I wouldn't know how to explain why I have a toy sword on my shelf when guests come over.

But hey, some people just love to buy stuff, just make sure you pop it into the correct bin afterwards 😂

@MattmanForever
Do you feel like a big boy now?

@Truegamer79
I have noticed a trend.
You mentioned woke agendas, and then a lot of people jumped on you to passively, or actively, demean you, for simply having pointed out the fact there are political and societal topics injected into Netflix.
It's true, but I find the backlash against your rather bizarre.
Everyone is allowed an opinion, and it's not cool for others to pull people down for expressing their own, as was done to you.
The woke mob can't help but attack others for having a different opinion.

Bring it ON!

G'day from down under!

@JaxonH @rvcolem1 thanks for your persuasions and sharing your experiences.

I think that summary was the best I've read so far. Digital is PHYSICAL on the sd card, and it's a backup in their three decade long servers.

The dark side is tempting me.

To be continued.

@nintendolife Can you run a poll on whether people are doing the voucher or going physical!?

I'm starting to feel converted to the digital side now that others here told me physical won't necessarily last forever.

I need a nudge! And I'm starting to get over swapping carts over. I think handheld future might be digital for me.

,,, and g'day from down under!

How about people move on from their language desires and discuss the game?

There's many people this game did serve well, and we aren't a globalised one world government, thank God, we each have our unique culture and that's the end of it.

Fit in, or don't, but to expect a niche game to revolve around one language, or pretending to boycot a great game for personal bias, is rather black and white thinking.

@Glassneedles I had no idea there was a full throttle remaster!

Thanks a lot mate!

Have a good day.

I grew up with 80s and 90s sierra/lucasarts point and click adventures.

These games are a healthy way to enhance problem solving abilities and keep you vibrating on a happy/neutral mental health level, plus the storytelling feels akin to reading a book or watching an anthology.

I'm pretty sure my first experience with Simon the sorcerer came on a computer game magazine floppy demo disk, but I have since played 1 and 2 and they are brilliant. I hope they also get released again for switch 2.

Considering we now have mouse support, I would love to revisit Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Space Quest, Police Quest, The Day of the Tentacle, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Full Throttle, and the rest!

Many of these games came from an era prior to big game studios, with creators and developers not receiving the accolades which is commonly expected in today's era, and working in small offices or home garages (albeit not the lucasarts games obviously!).

Simon was a strange choice to resurrect, but a brilliant decision!

I just wish play asia hadn't cancelled the physical orders of this game!

G'day from down under.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

This was my first Zelda game when I was still in primary school.

Brutal. Exciting. The fantasy, and lack of understanding, was phenomenal.

I only finished the game as an adult, and it is just as brutal.

It's one of the best memories for me, but I'm not going to say it's the best Zelda game because...it is BRUTAL!

I decided to return Space Adventure Cobra and replaced it with Dragon Quest III 2dHD.

My first Dragon Quest game, wish me luck!

PS I finally finished steam world heist 2. The story is great but the last 3 levels sucked.

G'day from down under.

Steamworld Heist 2.
Unmetal.

Happy Happy, Joy Joy

Take my money Sony.

Don't make me regret this... again.

@Medic_alert I hadn't taken this into account earlier, much appreciated.

It's a bit of a pickle now.

@Suketoudara absolutely great point. I hadn't really considered that they are simply a solid state memory with x amount of reads.

I guess this is the same for the SD cards we download the games onto also, but we can always re-download onto a new sd if it's a digital purchase.

@Olmectron yikes! I did not know this, thank you.

At this stage most titles are cheaper second hand, and physical is forever.

However, I find it very convenient to have a digital collection on a handheld console, because physical media is somewhat a weakness for portable collections. You can lose them or forget them, or just not enjoy swapping them out.

I often find myself buying both physical and digital, especially if I love the title, but always on special or secondhand.

It's hard to beat third party digital sales, whereas Nintendo vouchers don't offer too much these days, other than convenience.
