@topsekret Thanks for asking! I actually did ask about their decision to make this a Game Key Release, but these developers weren't able to comment on it. For curiosities sake, here's the question I asked:
"We’re not sure if you’re aware, but a large amount of our audience is sad to see Persona 3 Reload is being released as a Game Key Cartridge physically on Switch 2, with it being roughly a 22GB file size. Is there anything you can share to shed light on this decision, and if there will ever be hope of seeing future Persona games get a physical Switch 2 release with all of the data on the cartridge? Could we ever see a release of Persona 3 Reload that includes the Episode Aigis expansion on Switch 2 with all data on the cartridge?"
Hmmm, I'm definitely nervous about this as a lot of the animations feel pretty stiff at this current stage, but I'm glad Avatar is getting another crack at it! A lot of people will be happy to see this
@wollywoo I hope this single though here pushes someone else to start importing Japanese copies and digging into them. It takes the right person to prove the artwork on each cartridge truly hasn't been tampered with before hand, but still! I would love to see more people tackle these carts
@batmanbud2 From what I remember, he say something along the lines of "Whattt? You don't know who I am?" likely insisting that a lot of kids in line may not know who he is 😂
@MTMike87 Yea that's a really good point Mike! I'd like to see them lean into Ocarina of Time in this instance, as it's the style that gives me the most joy and I feel it's most recognizable!
@Maulbert - Sure, but did you want me to not mention the janky moments I had in the Switch 2 demo I played? I’m not looking to rag on the game or the developers, far from it! I’m just reporting on what I played.
I've been fortunate enough to walk into a Target twice now while Pokemon cards were being stocked, since Prismatic Eclipse launched. Each time, there has been a line of over ten people waiting, and before the line is even finished, all of the Pokemon packs are gone.
Kids don't even have a chance to rip random fun packs of these sets, unless they have dedicated enough parents to help them get packs.
What ever happened to the Spirit of the Game, TPCI?
@Zaruboggan Oh great question about the screen split! It doesn’t happen in this game, the camera just pulls back and if you stray too far away then you get pulled back to your co-op partner!
@Lebon14 Sounds like your basing a lot of your feelings around not a lot of findings. I'm not here to say your opinion is wrong either, but you're coming at this with pretty heated feelings after claiming you didn't ever make much at attempt at StreetPass.
I hear you on living in a small city with not a lot of nearby options, that much be rough. Hopefully Nintendo would think of something to combat those issues. Sort of how in the US they used McDonalds restaurants as a StreetPass relay, in a sense.
Consider the possibility that nowadays, the Switch is much more popular than the 3DS ever was and the chances of walking by someone else with one of those in their bag is so much higher.
