This is a toss up, most will vote their region because that's what they will be familiar with. That's literally the only reason I voted for NA because I know that cover from years ago.
I don't normally go for the box art that does not look like actual gameplay but I had to on this one. All of them are pretty bad imo but I went with EU as it at least tried something different.
This is exactly what Nintendo wants from Developers, a Switch 2 only version. This is garbage imo and there should always be a way to upgrade. Not sure if this is Square being jerks or Nintendo's fault at this point. I blame them both really. No reason they can't offer an upgrade as not everyone will have a Switch 2 and they shouldn't have to buy the game all over again.
Way better than the OG Switch but not quite as good as I thought it would be.
I just did the first 2 suggestions and neither increased my speed at all. I guess I don't really have a problem. My DL is around 325 and UL is about 35 no matter what I changed it to.
I'm sorry but I disagree on the cover being too similar. There's enough different about the bottom two covers that you should've separated them. I personally like the European cover as it's brighter overall.
Yep, bought this last week as the Switch version so we can do the upgrade. Not messing with a code in a box crap! Honestly I hope all people realize that getting the Switch version and upgrading is not only cheaper for most games but you also get an actual physical version.
@pikachupikachup The original Switch systems just didn't hold up well. Some had swelling of the battery which made the system bulge and the heat vents were also prone to crack. Also on the back of the system you would get cracks alone were the screws were. Mine were closer to the top where the vent was. I'm assuming due to the heat.
I don't think I have one regular Switch that would qualify. Definitely not my OG. I replaced the back plate from screw cracks and the vent is all busted out. Joycons probably wouldn't pass either because I've changed out the stick so frequently. Now my Switch Lite on the other hand should pass the test but I would miss the little thing. I take it to work with me and because of it's size works out well. I can't see myself lugging around a Switch 2 to work.
@KidSparta I really hope people don't impulse buy at $10. It will send the wrong message to Nintendo that we want this kind of content. Same with Everybody 1/2 Switch. The first game only sold well because people wanted a second game in what was a lackluster gaming launch outside of BotW.
@Bigmanfan I think a majority of people would play it for free. However it seems like the type of game you mess around with for an hour and never play again.
I spent over 200 hours on the Witcher 3. As much as I would like to see a Switch 2 upgrade I doubt I'll bite. I have far too many other games to play before I would ever give it another play through.
@Djreisat I played all of 15 minutes of the Wii U version. Not that I didn't like it I was just playing other games at the time. I've already log on about 25 hours in this version. Totally worth it!
This is the most I've played of a Xenoblade game since the first one on the Wii. It's unbelievable how fast the load times are for a game this big. The world look so full of life!
Wii U is a good example of how many early adopters there are out there. So I'm guessing they think Nintendo will lower the price after say 10 million units sold lol. This is a stupid comment in this current economy.
What's funny is I told my son the other day I believe Team Cherry is waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal before we see more about this game. I said I wouldn't be surprised if it's on the Switch 2 day one.
@KY502ShinyHunter I installed metal pieces where the plastic ones broke and at least on those joycons they don't come off the Switch. I have others and they are all broke and slide off. I can only switch out so many. We have like 7 sets in the house. They should've been metal from day one. You drop the switch once and those plastic pieces brake off.
I love the cleaner image on the Japanese box art. Less logo and more art. Plus I like the wide image better than the much smaller one on the western one.
This is exactly the reason why I've said for years that Nintendo doesn't want their games on PC. Once that happens you open up the door to tons of different mods and instead of a few people doing now everyone has access to it and then you can't do anything about it.
This game is one of the best games to value your purchase. I almost feel bad I got this on sale years ago for $9.90. It's worth so much more than that. My only complaint would have to be the lack of save points right outside of a boss battle. I died numerous times trying to get back to a boss fight in a rush to get there.

Yes but does it at least still charge the OG Switch/OLED?
Re: PSA: Beware Of Fake Switch Joy-Con Charging Grips

Re: Nintendo Of Europe Announces Leadership Changes As President Resigns
Wouldn't that mean he retired as that sounds much better than oh I resign. It makes it sound like he was forced out.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Got to be Japan people. Don't vote because of nostalgia or anything like that.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Contra: Hard Corps / Probotector
This was an easy week. NA all the way and it wasn't even close.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Zelda: A Link To The Past And Four Swords (GBA)
NA is boring
EU is a little better but don't know why Link is winking or wincing just looks off
Japan by far is the best
Re: Nintendo's Miscrediting Practices Are "Ridiculous", Say External Translators
@Ryu_Niiyama Well said! If you work for an outsourcing company unfortunately these are the things you have to deal with.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Urban Champion
Yeah I voted for EU/Japan just for how comical it looks. Sure it has zero representation of how the game looks but I like it.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Bravely Default
Still 50/50 after 433 votes.
I went with EU/Japan for the characters on the box. The fairy is ok but tells me nothing about the game.
