TBH it never crossed my mind really with the banning of consoles and then getting it second hand. I could have landed myself in this situation as I don't have the switch 2 yet.

@nin10doom Yep. While I don't have the switch 2 yet and I already have Cyberpunk on PC (and to some extent steam deck). I may pick it up also just to have it physical as well as Mario Kart world. The zelda titles are expection as I have those physical already on the switch one and getting the switch 2 update is a bit different then having to rebuy them physical with the switch 2 version.

@Yosher Spot on. This is why I hate them. Yes codes in the box were bad (and I really hated them also) at the very least they were a digital product.

These are also worse then the card having only part of the game on the cart and you have to download the rest. Atleast with those there is some data on the cart to save you space unlike these.

Welp that went from getting during the first week to I will wait for a sale. I did that with the pixel remasters and going to do it here also .

Yaaa I put it on my wishlist on steam but when I saw that there was no regional voice option it will be a pass for me.

Oh damn I forgot about this. Going to pre-order mine now.

Yaaa finally it is being released.

Sees Aspyr as developer and not Beamdog

oh no...

@Yokaisou For me I will have to go for the Switch version then buy the upgrade later. Reason is that the only shop that sells games near me is selling Legends for €60.

Now they don't have the switch 2 version up but knowing them they will be selling it for €80 as that is what they are selling all the other switch 2 games that have the switch 1 cartridge with the upgrade code. The upgrade code shouldn't cost €20 and even if they do I will still have a cleaner looking box cover compared to the switch 2 one.

My gaming habits have been adjusted. Not on PC but defo on consoles. I cancelled my Switch 2 pre-order and when I saw that games that are coming to switch and switch 2 I normally would get the next gen versions but since the switch 2 versions of games are just the switch 1 cart with an upgrade code in the box that has put a massive sore taste in my mouth.

And with the increase cost of both digital and physical games (more so physical for me) my excitement of the switch 2 went from high to really low very quickly. Will I get a switch 2 at some point. Ya I will but when I have no idea. maybe not in the first 2 years I think.

I really wanted to pick up the switch 2. The price is fine but I would only be buying it for exclusives as I am a pc gamer and I also own a steam deck for portability for the I want to play on the go.

Also when it comes to console gaming in am 95% physical unless there is a game that isn't sold physical here. In the end I had to cancel my pre-order of the system. I can't justify paying €80 - €90 for physical games (and no I will not buy the games digital if I can pick it up physically for the system).

TBH for me the price for the systems is fine but the game prices I am not really ready to pay that amount. I may get the switch 2 later on but for now the games I am interested in are also coming to the switch 1.

Personally if they are just performance, graphic and resolution increase then €10 (excepting it to be this price as it is usually $ = € ) and €20 if it the same as above with new content.

Any of the switch 2 games that have the switch 1 cart in them I am just going to get them on the original switch 1 version. All that text really ruins the art of the box for me.

I was even debating going to get Kirby for the switch 2 to have a complete version of that game even though I have it already but since it will be the same version I already have but with a upgrade code there is no point.

@Jam777 That is correct but only for both zelda games for now. The other upgrades (like Kirby) you do need to pay for regardless if you have NSO + Expansion unless they add them in the future..

@NCChris No if you buy the Switch 2 versions then you don't need the buy the upgrade pack. The upgrade pack are for people who own the Switch 1 versions.

@abe_hikura The only good thing about them is that you can sell them again. But owning one is worse then both digital and physical. With Physical you have to download the full game which defeats the point of owning the game physical to save on space and with digital you have to bring the cart with you so at that stage you might as well buy digital.

While I am ok with digital games being cheaper the physical. What I am not ok with is the huge jump from games costing €60 to €80 on the high end with physical being €90. That to me is just too much of a jump on the high end. I don't care if the game is worth it.

For current gen the jump to €70 was a sore taste but understandable but we are still in the current gen and it jumping to €80 for some base games.

Then there is the Game-Key cards. At that stage you might aswell go digital with those. The reason I went full physical with nintendo games (with exceptions if there are digital only) is that the full game (minus patches and dlc) is on the cart. Not an inbetween that is worse then physical as you have to download the full game and worse then digital as you have to bring a cart with you. The only good thing is that it is more physical the digital but still.

Going to be honest. I have my system on pre-order just encase but now after the hype of the reveal I am starting to think. Is it really worth getting it now or later. The only games I am really looking forward too are Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends and they are not being release till later in the year.

While Mario Kart is great it isn't a I need to play this now game for me. If I didn't already have a Gaming PC and Steam Deck then it my be a must have for me to play cyberpunk and Elden ring on the go.

I think I may cancel my pre-order and wait a year or so (though I may pick up Metroid and Pokemon physically when they released) and they could release a special edition of the system. That way I can let someone who really wants the console more at launch secure the pre-order I have in place.

For me I have never played 1 or 2 when I was younger so I don't have the nostalgia for it. The same goes for 3, but 4 I played it alot so I am defo hyped to pick it up for 4 and will defo give 3 a go since it is included.

TBH I was thinking that €400 would be the price that they would release it at when the trailer was released. Now I am not so sure.

I just kinda hope that I can nab one this year or until the second half of next year. Work gave me a gift card as a Christmas bonus which can be used at selected stores but the stores that will sell the switch don't do pre-orders so you have to be lucky and reserve one on launch day. The card has a nice amount in it so it will make the purchase much better for me.

The reason for this is that if the card is issued over 18 months ago, money will start to be deducted from the card each month.

I am glad that atleast it plays physical games. I know they said it was backwards compatible a few months back but nothing was said for physical but atleast it is confirmed.

Now I just hope the switch 2 has a performance boost. Now I hope games that didn't have a rock solid fps (like botw, totk and age of calamity). Now I would be over the moon if they got them to a solid 60 fps but getting a solid 30 fps would be the bare minimum for me if it has boost performance.

I am all for competition and borrowing ideas to make something different. But this is just blatant. They could have went with a Voxel graphics design and they would have been fine.

@GravyThief Yep though physical copies earn less gold then digital. It is 1% of the RRP for a physical and I think 5% for digital. And no once the gold has been claimed from the cartridge then nobody else will get gold. I have confirmed this when I bought games second hand within the 2 years of the games releases and the gold had already been claimed on some of them. You can be lucky though like yourself if they never knew about it.

@JohnnyMind Yep I do this just to nab the points but for us in Europe we are given 2 years to claim the points. Not sure why though?

This could be interesting if it turns out good. I will defo keep my eye on it. Not hyped about it though.

Only 2 things that got me hyped was FFVII Rebirth PC port (I knew it would get released but was sooner then expected) and the new Onimusha game. I have waited 20 years for one so defo really hyped for it.

I did like this game back on the PS2. I will pick it up at some stage for PC. Too much of a backlog atm on both switch and pc.

@HingryHuppo That is how I felt. I got the bundle on steam when the castlevania dlc came out. I played it for about 50 hours then just stopped. I defo got my moneys worth.

"I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it.......I NEED IT!"

My key hopes are that they are backwards compatible with physical games (nothing said on this even though they said that there is backwards compatible) and improved conformance.

Not expecting for all games to go full 60fps but would like games that had an inconsistent frame rate to become a solid frame rate (regardless if it is 30 or 60).

Those are the most important things for me. Anything else is a bonus.

I did try it once and I did get a Star on a bent corner. Going to try a few more to see if this just a placebo effect.

EDIT: Did 5 more attempts. 2 of them were bent (the other 3 attempts had no bent packs) and 1 hand nothing and the other had a 4 diamond ex card. So still not conclusive enough for me but will keep an eye on them on my free attempts.

Sometimes if the reason is good enough then I am ok with 30 but the reason has to be really justifiable. I am a 60fps snob but I remember the reason for south park stick of truth being 30 also was to emulate the show and having it at 30 keeps the more jank animation look compared to 60.

And to me that is a very valid argument to have. Just saying it is more cinematic isn't really a good argument and feels more like a cop-out.

I do hope they do localize the games as I would jump right on it if they release them international. If not then I will just wait for a fan translation for the steam version before buying them.

Well this was a nice surprise on a collection I wanted. I will be picking it up on steam (can get it 10% off there as I already have the other castlevania collections as part of a bundle).

with question 11. While I didn't have to send in my Switch in for repaired I did have to send in my Dock in for repairs as it was failing to display anything. Lucky I had my friend bring his switch and dock with him one day to be able to troubleshot it to make the request easier.

I was debating on getting it on the Nintendo store as it isn't available to pre-order in Ireland but when I saw it on amazon for €10 cheaper it was instant.

I already have the game preordered so not going to play the demo as I rather enjoy the full game when it is out instead of being timelocked

@ScalenePowers When it was released on steam it was a big deal as 1 and 2 were never released and 3 and 4 never had their 2d versions. So I was very much excited for these games.

Even though I already have it on steam. I am ok with double dipping on this for a physical version. Now do I want the PS4 or Switch version.

It is great that they are releasing a new game. My only disappointment is that the 2 games have never been on sale on the EU eshop. Hopefully with this release that it will go on sale.

What I am playing is the FFXIV Dawntrail expansion.

I will be getting it on PC but I might get it physical on PS4.

The only game I am tempted on (well games) is Baten Kaitos 1 and 2.

EDIT: I wish Famicom Detective Club will go on sale atleast once.

@RupeeClock I did not know that. That is good to here. I remember Epic did the same for the 360 by asking microsoft to increase the RAM from 256mb to 512mb for gears of war as 256mb wouldn't cut it.

Overall I do understand them delisting the game but you would think they would atleast keep the dlc for people who don't want to get the new version but still want to get the dlc.

I know Koei did this with the Atelier series on steam when the DX versions of some of there games got released. They removed the ability to buy the older version but kept the dlc for those games on those store pages. I think that is the best way to handle it.

@abbyhitter lol I was the same but sold mine as soon as this version was announced. Hadn't touched it and there was a few times I was going to buy the dlc when it was on sale.

Now I am going to get the PC version since I have the Steam Deck it fixes that portability side of things.

@Chaotic_Neutral I think there is a very few select games that have this feature. If I am not mistaken I think Hyrule Warriors has this option.

I never played the original so I want to get it but I am disappointed to hear that it was 60 fps to 30 fps in this remake.

Now I am a person who will always want 60 over 30 but there are a few select games that are fine with 30. Like turn based game which this is.

Now if the original was 30 fps then I wouldn't be bothered to to be honest but knowing that it has a downgrade in fps does leave a bad taste though.

@Roibeard64 I agree with your list but they could also add in Ghost Babel in there.

People in FFXIV did the same thing wearing the slime hat from Dragon quest.
