@Blue_Dread In case you weren't aware, You can obtain a second copy of Sabrina in the 'Pack Point Exchange'. Go into where the booster packs submenu and select the blue pack icon in the bottom right, it'll say X pts. Scroll to the bottom and you'll find Sabrina available for 70 pts. Though, by doing this you will inevitably open Sabrina in your next booster!
Very much looking forward to playing this one with the Hori RAPV stick! End of July isn't far away and have Scott Pilgrim to play in the meanwhile. Great review - it got me very pumped to play!
Looks great! on Steam for £3.99 too, and there's a demo you can try there. Definitely going to give this a whirl having played a tonne of Blazing Chrome.
Thought this game looked familiar, I picked it up on the iPad early 2020. It’s a lot of fun! I think i’ll double dip for £2 on Switch for physical controls and playing on the TV.
Thankfully it’ll be available at retail where I can pick up and appropriately priced physical copy. $100 for a physical plus a bunch of digital stuff I don’t even want is silly. Game does look great though.
@Specter_of-the_OLED I already own Blazblue Central Fiction Special Edition physical, in English? Was strange to see this coming out from LRG. I wonder if it didn’t get a physical release across the pond?…
Thanks NL, bagged all 3 as I missed them the first time round. Decided to stop collecting EVERY amiibo that Nintendo bring out, but i’ve a soft spot for Metroid, and should be delivered by the time Dread is here this week <3
@Dimey Same boat as you! Ordered what seemed to be a good deal, but clearly a deal too good to be true! Order was placed at the start of July. End of July I contacted support to ask whats up. Reply saying “we’re very busy, you’ll get an email when it’s sent”… I cancelled the order. Seeing this post reminded me today to check and my order is still “Processing Cancellation” nearly 2 months after I ordered. Terrible experience! Even though these Pokemon tees are cool, I won’t be giving them my business again and I say NL readers to approach Zavvi with caution.
@PurpleSquirrel64 I was a big fan of the limited physical releases but i’ve grown a bit tired of that being the only way to acquire certain physicals. The lead time… the fact it’s $50+ usd shipped to the UK and usually I don’t want more than the one game. I guess the simple answer is I don’t have to buy it, I just prefer cartridges.
Love me some 2D Metroid. Not fussed about collectors editions but I prefer physical media so preordered the standard version from trusty Base.com for £42.85. No sign of amiibo preorder in the UK yet still.
@RupeeClock Also been considering picking up a US copy here in the UK from them. I own a few US imports, but with this one i’m concerned about the online - sharing and playing other peoples creations might need a US Region account?
For those looking to buy this in the UK, It’s £21.99 from My Nintendo Store. I was expecting their usual stupid flat rate shipping charge of about £8 but was pleasantly surprised to see FREE SHIPPING on it. £21.99 is the best deal i’ve found.
If there wasn't the slightest chance my switch would brick using this i'd buy one for $55, sure. a second official dock will set me back £80, and having this on my desk rather than my official dock and the WiiU GC adapter with cables everywhere would be awesome... Just a shame about that small matter of, you know, bricking.

Re: The Amazing American Circus Is A Quirky Deck-Building Title That Arrives Soon
Do love a good deckbuilding game and this certainly has a unique theme. I like that it’s not combat based but, entertainment.
Colour me interested.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Metroid Dread Special Edition And Samus & EMMI amiibo
For any wanting to get a copy of the Special Edition, I just managed to secure one on base.com for rrp. I’m UK based, not sure if they ship worldwide.
And managed to pre order the amiibo from Nintendo UK, thanks NL for the heads up.
