My only factor for buying it is the proper cartridge release. They can't scare me with 20fps! I play and enjoy StarCraft 64 FFS

As for bad graphics? I did not mind the Witcher 3 on the Switch 1 I say bring it on! ... as long as it is all on the cartridge!

@Olliemar28 @Bigmanfan I already played it on PS4, PS5 and Steam Deck. It is time for the "bad" Switch 2 version ... but in physical form

My only concern is if they cheap out on the cartridge.

I mean Mortal Kombat retro collection will be using a real cartridge ... come on!

Give me a real cartridge and I will play at 20 fps

@Bizzyb he looks just like him

Is that Bradley Cooper on the thumbnail?!

I was already sold with 1, 2 and 3

Knowing where this game comes from, I have very little faith in the publisher Shame as the game looks awesome!

I hope that the game-key card sales are even worse in 2026 so we could get a proper release of this game

Fantastic franchise! I am hoping for some physical editions especially for the Switch 2 or even Switch 1 as there we only have RE Zero, RE Revelations 1 and Resident Evil 4 on physical media

I will definitely get the standard one

@John_Deacon in Europe Ninja Gaiden was renamed Shadow Warriors. Also we only got Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2. No 3 in PAL. But I removed the region lock pin on my NES chip and I can play cartridges from all regions

This weekend I will start a new Barbarian in Diablo 3! The Diablo games are so addicting Except Diablo 4 it can go Blizzard itself

And for side activities I will play Marvel's Spider-Man (the handsome Parker edition, not the new one) and some retro Ninja Gaiden 1!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@JR150 Never underestimate publisher's greed.

After being absorbed by Diablo 2 I am going to keep it simple this weekend Btw I got Enigma and beat the Ubers!

First trying out Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars. I LOVE point and click adventures so I am sure I will like this one

I am going to get some nostalgia with TMNT and some 1v1 matches in StarCraft 64!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

I want my Magician Lord, damn it!

I LOVE their DF Retro videos

I am still in the Diablo 2 grasp, and I do not see that going away in the near future I am farming like crazy for that Enigma runeword!

However, to break the farming madness I will play short bursts of Mortal Kombat 1 and Mutation Nation (amazing nostalgia coming from this one!)

Happy gaming everyone!!!

Game key-cards is the biggest mistake for the Switch 2.

I want to see the publishers being punished for game key-cards. I want them to be on the bottom of the sell charts.

At this point if I want a handheld console that is all digital I will stick to my Steam Deck. The Switch 1 successor launch is disappointing for me.

Still waiting for Elden Ring physical official news to decide.

My wish: Game key-cards will be used in absolute edge cases like the game is bigger than the max size card.

Reality: Game key cards are so damn good! Every game will be on game key-card and you will like it! The publishers are our top priority, not the gamers! We know you will buy anything from us, fools!

My addiction for Diablo 2 kicked in ... again!
This game is a masterpiece! I just beat Hell difficulty with my paladin and now I am on my sorceress on the 3rd act in Hell.

On the side (IF Diablo 2 let me!) I will play Ghost of Tsushima and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. I have never played Stalker before, only watched it. I hope for some Fallout-ish experience

Happy gaming everyone

Good. Ubisoft's glory days are long gone.

I hope they sell the Might and Magic franchise to someone who cares about it.

@Oldstalk Switch The retail steelbox is much better than the one is the LRG release. When I saw it, I canceled my LRG order and got this one instead

This weekend I will play Soul Reaver 1. I have never played it back in the day so this will be a new experience for me.

I will start a second run of Chronicles of the Wolf on PS5 this time. The replay value is poor BUT the environments are awesome!

And for nostalgia I will see where I was in Link Between Worlds

Also, I want to play some Super Castlevania IV in retro style with the old controller and no save states

Happy gaming everyone!!!

I have a suspicion that each stability update will figure out new and creative ways to ban consoles

Game key-cards should ONLY be used for games that are LARGER than the maximum card capacity.

Everything else is anti-consumer practice and being cheap.

I liked the game, but it got 2 big criticisms from me:

1. The boss/enemy technical design was rather simple. Big boss that stands or moves left to right and spits projectiles is an example.

2. The weapon system is really linear - the weapon type is only getting stronger as the game progresses, and the lack of weakness/strength system is hurting the variety of attacks.
For example, weapons that you get in the mid-game are absolute when you get a weapon that is just sitting in a corridor in the late-game area where you must pass anyway.

I get it as the engine and the main gameplay + menus are 1:1 as Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles 2 (the last FAN Castlevania game from MIG).

Other than that, the worldbuilding is amazing!

@SteveDaSteve Most of those stores are dying just like the proper physical media.

And I want the main focus of Nintendo to be us not the publishers. If they can't sell us the proper physical versions, they should stick to the eShop only.

Code-in-a-box should also be abolished.

@SteveDaSteve Those are mostly for the clueless people that bought games without researching them or for parents that bought them as gifts.

Believe it or not retail gaming stores are not filled with gamers only. I often see parents even grandparents buy games as gifts in the retailers in my country.

Oh, and you can resell normal physical games that are not designed for publishers that want to make profit with plastic DRM crap.

The last good thing that came out from Microsoft was the Xbox 360. What a gaming failure they are now.

Key-cards deserve no sales.

The only thing they say in order to deem them as good is resale which is stupid because:

1. People who buy digital do not care about resale as they want the convenience.
2. People who buy physical do not care about resale as they want to own a media with a playable build on it.

This is done specifically for publishers who want to have retail presence and still charge US as if their game is physical.

I really hope publishers who use this media lose MONEY, lots of money!

@Medic_alert I have that bad feeling as well.

If not, I hope that publishers lose money on those key-card releases.

@ozwally Nope. It is not confirmed officially. Play-Asia has listed it as a key-card, but when I contacted them, they said it is a placeholder as no distributor has the info on the game.

I think that if Elden Ring is on a key-card I have no reason to buy a Switch 2 as the Nintendo games right now have 0 interest for me.

@Medic_alert by who? There is no official information on the physical release.

PLEASE don't be a game key-cart!
PLEASE don't be a game key-cart!
PLEASE don't be a game key-cart!

They could always put the base game on the cart and the expansion as a download like they did with the PS5 edition!

This is a good budget edition compared to the LRG. But the LRG shadowbox playing Bloody Tears is always making me push the button when I look at it

Also, I like every game I own, to be all in English including the extras and box art

This weekend I will play Sanitarium on the Steam Deck and record the journey in screenshots.

On the PS5 I will play some Baldur's Gate 3 (it pains me that I have Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 but never played them seriously).

On the Switch I will start a fresh character in Titan Quest

And I will draw some assets for my game because I am way behind anything there

Happy gaming everyone!!!

In times like these, every time I see a physical release announced of any game I smile.

@CammyUnofficial oh no I wait because of the Ultimate Edition for the Switch. I already got it for PS5.

In August I have to get my order from LRG and I will finally have all Castlevania related stuff from them

It is really nice that people can freely get the standard physical versions!

I will definitely get this as I loved both Little Nightmares 1 and 2.

And seeing Bandai Namco physical releases for the Switch 2, now I have hopes for Elden Ring to not be a key-card

Unfortunately, the people who do not care about key-cards are the ones that just like to consume. I mean you can't blame a person who just go through a game and forgets it afterwards.

Then resale it to the next consumer and the cycle goes on.

I do not like such media because I prefer to keep my games just as people like to keep their books.

@Ellie-Moo It is a good game, but I have some gripes with it. Mainly the gameplay and the systems in it. If you played Lecarde Chronicles 2 (a fan Castlevania game also made by Mig) it is almost the same game.

The standout is the world and the environments. The graphics are also looking nice.

The Switch 2 is a real winner but my problem with it are the publishers.

I hope they all fall in line soon.

@Summer235 Yes, it is really cool! Unfortunately, the DLC is not on the disc

This weekend I will play and finish Chronicles of the Wolf! I got both the Switch 1 and the PS5 copies just to support the indie Castlevania fan Migami (Mig Perez).

On the site I have the great Castlevania Chronicles which in Arranged mode on easier difficulty is playable otherwise it is one of the hardest Castlevania games out there!

And in Resident Evil 4 Remake I am about to exit the Village area.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

A fantastic game and I hope that means they will bring it to the Switch 2.

A complete edition with the DLC on cartridge will make me buy it again!

Actually, with the Switch 2 I worry more about what the case holds than that it looks like

I love how many of those releases include the whole game on the cart for Switch 1 but on Switch 2 they choose key-cards

I really hope they do not make many sales from those key-cards.

This is done at the end of the console lifetime now at the start
And why even connect it online? It is still funny

Anyway, with the pushing of key-cards I hope MIG becomes undetectable, and people are able to make physical versions of the games they want.

She will never go hollow. Rest in Peace.
