Re: Marble Maid Looks Like Super Monkey Ball, But With Added Naughtiness

This is a fun albeit simple puzzle game, and yeah it kinda oversells itself with the lewd part which isn't really involved in any way during the main gameplay and is merely a reward gallery. Several of these puzzle/arcade adult games have made it to Switch lately, although most are actually more censored than their PC counterparts.

Re: Feature: How Limited Run's New Engine Respects The Legacy Of Classic Games

Producing artificial scarcity is hardly the ideal method of preserving the legacy and accessibility of classic games? It's ironic this article uses Shantae as an example when by the time Switch collectors were even aware that they could own the entire Shantae series on Switch, the third game, Pirate's Curse which released years earlier by LRG was already fetching $200 on the secondhand market making most collector's dream of a "full physical Shantae collection" just a pipe dream.

It wouldn't be much of a problem but LRG by nature of their business model will never do a second batch reprint of their games, and often have exclusivity within select regions meaning that the only way to acquire these games physically in the future is through second-hand means, and with only a small handful of exceptions, the majority of these titles prices have inflated due to their scarcity, with many resellers specifically buying them to take advantage of this scarcity.

@samuraicop The other BG ports on Switch are fantastic, they are enhanced versions of the original game with expanded content, updated UI, and even the console versions got a lot of special love in regards to it's control scheme. For $30 I think the BG1/BG2 Enhanced Editions are extremely worth it as they are collectively like 50+ hour games with loads of replayability.

I do however think $30 is a bit steep for this particular re-release since it isn't even really a remaster, I will still get it as I love those games, but yeah asking the same price for this as the dual pack for BG1/BG2 is a bit crazy, especially if there's no physical.
