@NintoRich Yeah, I noticed the 52 years thing as well. I think they are just throwing big numbers around to sound important. I mean, 52 years divided by the 3 collectors is only 17 years apiece. Meaning that, at most, they've been collecting since 2002 on average. That isn't really a big deal. That's around the time all the Funcoland stores were being gutted by GameStop. So, yeah, boxed copies of games weren't nearly as hard to get back then.
I really hope Ni No Kuni sold well on the Switch because I would like to see more Level 5 goodness make it onto the platform. Sadly, it seems like it was vastly overshadowed by coming out on the same day as Link's Awakening and Untitled Goose Game. I listen to half a dozen Switch podcasts and heard nary a peep concerning Ni No Kuni other than one or two commentators saying something along the lines of "oh yeah, that was good back in the day, right?" It also happens to be an RPG releasing in the blast radius of bigger RPGs.
Sadly, I use websites like dekudeals to find all the games I would want to play, and then go to the eshop from there.
The current eshop doesn't even allow you to share a wishlist!?! I mean, come on! I can't tell you how many times I've purchased a wishlist item for my friends on Steam. It is kind of my go-to move for birthday and holiday presents for everyone I know under 65.
