I wonder if the recent price disparity between digital and physical is intended as a way to soften this. Buy five first party digital games and you've recouped the $50 bucks. Digital games are somewhat protected from real world shenanigans like tariffs and increase d shipping costs.

The description says 'RARE'. Gee, I wonder why.

@BrewsterTea The one fire emblem mobile game is a platinum mine for them and you can use auto battle to not have to play.

Deep cut- The game, 映画 すみっコぐらし 空の王国とふたりのコ あそぼうキャラクロス, only released in japan, has an entire Picross mode developed by Jupiter.

@BoilerBroJoe The music loops in the Namco picross were so repetitive and short. I wound up muting that game while I finished it. The snk and Capcom collections have random as a music option, so it'll rotate between the 10 tracks. This will probably do the same, but that doesn't mean much.

I'm getting two. I let my partner use my OLED and she's addicted to Animal Crossing. As a physical collector, Xenoblade X Switch 2 Edition on the same day is a bit rough.

I've been on road trips looking for very specific versions of physical media throughout the decades. Certain versions are better for specific speedrunning categories; certain games are censored in later releases. Game key cards kill that. You will play the version that they want you to play forever. This is disappointing.

This game looks so good in 4k. I really hope that we get a switch 2 edition of the original Hollow Knight so we don't have to put up with 720p on a 1080p handheld screen.

@H3X3NH4MM3R Now they can use the shutdowns / crashing shops as marketing / bragging.

This really did catch my attention, but the game key card thing is a deal breaker.

I'm a sucker for Saturn style controllers, but why only four buttons on the face?

@VoidofLight The pink hair was intentional. It's part of the pallete for the skin when he gets transformed into a bunny.

Why would anyone think it was a game key card? Nintendo said weeks ago they will not be using game key cards.

@PokemonDMG How about Samurai Goroh from F-Zero and Pokey/Porky from Earthbound?

@sanderev Easily one of the best, exclusive, first-party releases for the console.

@Lord If you're avoiding game key cards, you have to avoid digital releases too, because that just sends the message that their products are in demand and physical is not.

I'm in the US, I got a switch pre-order the night they went live back in April from walmart. I accidentally put it on the wrong card. Friday morning I woke up and Walmart had more, so I ordered a second one with the correct card and canceled the other system. Super easy, no problems.

I won't even buy a digital version of a game that comes in the game key card format.

I not only won't buy a game on a game key card; I will spitefully not buy that game digitally in any region where it is on a game key card. I'm hoping that they keep up the trend of SEA region games being completely on the cards.

@JoaoCGS This has been my question for days. If physical loads slower, I'll feel ripped off.

When do we start getting the Goemon and Gradius/Parodius collections?

A mod for a game isn't a game.

@Pipulitoch Brain Age uses the UK cover, but is in the 2019 release year column, it's Japanese release. That's probably why Bayonetta is using the North American cover despite being placed in the 2018 column.

"Waste of flesh!" I'm here for pink Shuma Gorath!

I buy and finish all these Picross games quickly and I'll be getting this on day 1, but between S+, Logiarts Grimoire, and this, they'll have put out around 500-600 hours of puzzles since February. I prefer this glit over some of previous droughts.
