You can keep your $666 folks. In another year, they'll release it again for the Switch 2 and charge it $6,666.

It's weird to think there's another pre-order hype for TOTK game, but now for the Switch 2. The game came out 2 years ago, so I assume most people bought the game when preorders were first announced.

But go right ahead, buy the game again!

I am laughing way to hard than I need to.

The price increase is likely to pay off their Nintendo lawyers from all of those petty lawsuits.

I would love a physical version of this game with all the previous episodes on it.

Big Nintendo Brother will always watch over you!

The possibility of obtaining a physical copies of Elder Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and Final Fantasy 7 remake? Sign me up!

While I'm speechless and excited for this.. I was not expecting this announcement. In truth I almost thought this was a Bloodbourne 2 sequel. Why FromSoftware??

For the price, this is a really good deal for the scalpers who will buy out much of the stock and sell it for twice the value.

I'm expecting I won't get one until 6 months later after launch.

30 fps is a downgrade for me, but to have a physical version of the game, plus making other character builds (I have the game on Steam), I'm willing to get this anyway.

It would appear Nintendo trying to future proof their system, such as requiring us to use micro sd express cards for the console, but they continue to keep one leg in the past by not upgrading to Hall Effect joysticks.

I am so happy we're moving away from 30 fps!

This throws me back to Blockbuster era of renting games and movies.

Modded Minecraft has been doing some really nice shaders for a while now. No Ray Tracing needed. I'm impressed that Mojang is finally working on their own.

This is the weirdest timeline..

The first time I ever played Pokemon Go was when it first came out with Gen 1. There used to be this unofficial website which showed Pokemon locations around the area (particularly the rare ones) to make it easier to find them.

But then Niantic took action and shut the site down, which was when I stopped playing and haven't touched the game since.

It was fun for a while, but paying real money for Pokeballs, which if thrown incorrected could miss and you'd have to pay for more? Pass.

If a Joycon is going to become some sort of computer mouse, I guarentee you we'll develop hand cramps over time.

@AstroTheGamosian I work in retail and every early morning when the store opens, this gray-haired guy dressed in camo comes in and immediately scours through the Hotwheels cars section and buys a lot of them to sell somewhere else.
Not once have I seen him not miss a day or even change his clothes...

Scalping is truly some kind of special brain disease.

This was one of the last things Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) voiced in before dying shortly after.

Words cannot describe to how disrepectful WB has become.

"Building a deck is difficult in many games because of how time consuming it is to read effects and sort your collection"

This is the dumbest negative score I've seen. Anyone who is not familiar with yugioh or is just a noob, this is the best part of sorting through the cards and organizing your deck.

Just wait until the later iterations of the game with new mechanics. You'll be reading through those cards for hours on end.

I imagine a VAST majority of Switch 1 owners will be selling their consoles in favor of the Switch 2, since it's backwards compatible and more powerful. Also in this rough economic times, this seems to be a no-brainer.

Amazing how Nintendo is pushing out Switch 1 models when the Switch 2 is right around the corner.

How many other physical games from Limited Run might damage my console as well?? This might finally make me stop buying from this scummy company.

Play stoopid games, win stoopid prizes!

Calling it now.
4 years later, a "Switch 2 Pro" will be announced featuring an OLED display, a slightly more powerful chip and 16 gb of memory (over the original 12 gb).

Whichever game it'll be, it will still be a disaster. However. I really really want a Batman Beyond game.

The Switch 3's game cases means they'll be even bigger!

I never expected to have found DS9 in the wild on this site on my bingo sheet.
It really speaks volumes on how much people don't care about millionaires getting duped by fake Pokemon cards, lol.

Eternal Duelist Soul was always my favorite yugioh game on the GBA. Unfortunately, the game used a battery and has since dried up.

@1UP-HUSKY That's about the combined price of the GPU and CPU I paid for my new PC. Wild.

The game is releasing in Februrary? I just got my physical game from Limited Run in the mail now. I'm already one month ahead in the future!

I would pay upwards of tree fiddy!

Imagine the sea of used Switch 1 consoles people are attempting to sell on ebay right now. OMG

Nice review.

I'll hold off buying it outright and wait for an inevitable physical copy.

The Wii U has already been abandoned and left in the dust, and years later Nintendo comes back to see the owners of the system still using it for custom online activities?

NO!
The No-Fun-Allowed Police has ordered you to stop playing the Wii U at once! ... Please purchase the Nintendo Switch instead to help us reach our sales goals!

Perhaps Nintendo spent most of it's money on going after Switch emulators than attempting to stop the leaks.

Really though, it's as if Nintendo has their heads in the sand. There's solid evidence that their next big secret console is in the leaks and they're not doing anything about it or showing any signs of life on the matter. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

@earthinheritor We need kids to stop playing video games and go back into the factories and coal mines!

/s

The reason why many people are not believing that this is real is because the "Switch 2" looks exactly like the original Switch.

But what if the successor will be in fact very similar to the original, in terms of appearance?
Will fans accept the truth or reject reality and substitute their own?

@VoidofLight Long ago back in the day, when Digimon first came out, everyone was saying the same thing.

It is it's own thing, but better.

This was the first Pokemon game that has stopped me from acquiring it to my physical collection. Pokemon Arceus will be my last for the Switch.

This news alone will only encourage 'Game Freak' to release half baked games in the future, knowing it will sell no matter what.

Now excuse me, kids. I'm going back to playing Romhacks.

First Press Games is far the worst company compared to Limited Run Games.
First Press Games is Ponzi Scheme and anyone who has preordered from this scummy company (physical games of Goodboy Galaxy and Chained Echoes for example) would have to wait YEARS before we will see those games released (no exaggeration).

"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors."

While it was entertaining at first, to say the least, I'm certainly over with any more news from the "Freak Leak".

That's pretty cool! Maybe they can do Christopher Lee from Hammer Horror next.

LOL, "Limited", and then right back to the usual 5v5.

This is just to lure in their old fanbase based on nostalgic gameplay.

The "Switch 2" will certainly not get a price cut in the US after Trump's upcoming tariffs, unless Nintendo would be so kind to move their HQ and factories here.

Next year is going to be wild.

It's interesting they've announced the game's release in March and yet no news or hint of the Switch 2.

The popular theory was that the Switch 2 was set to drop in March or Spring, but what if Nintendo will once again push the date to mid or even late 2025 to squeeze the last drop from the original Switch since their sales are still doing well-ish?

No thanks. I'll be playing the original Pokemon Trading Card game for nostalgia.

Of course this game is selling like crazy, it's good!

They don't need to this site and look at the abysmal review and assume the game's too hard and not play it?!

Aw, the game too hard and I must lower the game's score to make myself feel better?
