@LastFootnote unfortunate but I’d rather have it on the cartridge than a game key card, even that means it’s the regular switch version. I’ll probably just wait for a sale price even
Oh the good ol’ early days of the switch when I would browse the new release section of the eShop. Long gone days for sure. The bundle thing should definitely help
I got the Mario Kart Bundle and bought Cyberpunk on cart. Would have been interested in Yakuza, Street Fighter and Bravely Default had they been physical releases. Otherwise they get wish listed and maybe I’ll move on them with a good sale
I’m missing special theme 25 - Monster Hunter Rise. I’ve only got 13 tix but I don’t see a way to buy it on the Customize -> Themes page. I’m here in the states and on version 2.5.0
@Blast16 I got my Disney Illusion Island from them and it did ship early and it came on release day. But this article has a bad link. You have to look for a listing that shows “exclusive trading card pack”
I didn’t do those challenge shrines in the first dlc to upgrade the master sword, tried for a bit but then moved on. Maybe if it came out while I was actively playing the game I could have had an easier time with it. I did do all of the second dlc drop and collected all the armors, Amiibo ones included. Fully upgraded all my armor, which included a lot of watching for shooting stars and dragons.
Just those Korok seeds. I didn’t even get enough to fully upgraded my weapon/item slots (I think that’s what they did?) but I got plenty. Never a consideration to get them all.
All told I believe my playtime was just under 200 hours.
My brother has the 3rd party LCD screen for his GameCube, the GameBoy player, and a carrying case/bag that fits the whole thing. I jokingly pack it up with my stuff after vacations when I visit him just about every time.
@Joker1234 yeah. I put $5 down at a GameStop but they didn’t get any in. Best Buy you can check online (none anywhere) but Target and Walmart I checked in person because they’re websites good like that. Got lucky at the second Walmart I went to.
My GameStop didn’t get any copies and wasn’t even showing any in transit. After running around town for a few hours I was able to grab the last one at a Walmart.
@Rayquaza2510 I don’t think it’s the only reason but I believe it played a factor, as well as the fact that the other consoles are pricing their games at $70 (at least here in the US)
@UltimateOtaku91 of the games you mentioned there only The Witcher 3 was on a 32gb cartridge. There was still a download of about 3gb. The next size cartridge down from there is 16gb. The L.A. Noire cartridge requires a 14gb download, much like NBA 2K releases.
I love the game, I’m 96 days in (in game) and I’m experiencing major choppiness and framedrops. I’m not usually sensitive to these kind of issues but it’s pretty rough at times. Mostly in camp but also some in the dungeon areas. Not trying to put anybody off of it, great game
@Rambler but with all that being said shmups used to be called “shooters” or “space shooters”. That’s changed since the rise of first person shooters. And I’m still not sure if Saturday Night Slam Masters is a Beat’em Up or fighting game lol
@Grumblevolcano by the time Life is Strange makes it to Switch it’ll probably be $20 on the other consoles. And it’s not even the full game on the cart.
@JasmineDragon okay so being American and hearing you say Cricket is more popular then (American) Football blows my mind. Could that possibly be true?
As for Soccer I can and do understand that is immensely popular worldwide, but here in the states it’s well behind Football, Baseball and Basketball. I’m my mind here in the states it’s also behind hockey, my favorite, but I could be wrong on that one. Cricket isn’t even a thing over here except for maybe some kind of country club lifestyle thing like Polo.

Re: Ubisoft's Switch 2 Physical Release Of Star Wars Outlaws Is A "Game-Key Card"
I plan on taking a no game key card stance. I’ll wishlist it on the eShop and get it for a massive Ubisoft sale price within a few months.
I plan to buy Cyberpunk 2077 and support publishers who support physical media.

That’s a bad link to the Walmart US copy with the card set. Just search on the website and you’ll see another listing that shows the card set.
