Goram it. I missed out I’m so annoyed because I did all the missions. This is not a good look for Nintendo. Ugh.

@Robo-Knight 1st party games rarely (almost never) get discounted.

I’m skeptical that this will run acceptably on the switch. I had some trouble with a GTX 1080

Physical unless there is a steep discount. I can sell, trade, gift a physical game when I'm done with it so the price of digital has to be quite a bit lower for me to bite. I will admit to feeling some envy not being able to have every game instantly available on my switch! I see pros and cons for both.

Damnit, I forgot the pre-order was today. I'm salty about forgetting I was going to snag two of them (one in each color) and a dock. At least more are on the way.

insta-buy (both the dock and the console). Might buy multiple.

No love for Katana Zero? That’s the one I’m most pumped for.

@Friendly they are always slow. But I have always eventually received what I ordered. I, too, am waiting on streets of rage.

@NoTinderLife How's that PS5 Kool-aid, must be really tasty.

This is hilarious. I love it!

Not even if you paid me!

I'm an old fogey. Physical all the way. I like the idea of owning something. I can (and do) occasionally sell or lend games. I will concede having all the games instantly accessible without switching carts would be nice. You also don't have to worry about loss or theft since the games are tied to your account. I definitely see why people enjoy the ease of use for digital but I can't get over the fact that I don't have something tangible.

@carlos82 lol this was the comment I needed. Just burst out laughing.

I have a turquoise as well sorta wish this was available at launch as well. @technotreegrass cool username.

@apoqalypse Ok so for you personally it doesn’t make sense. The devs are not setting prices based on any one person. What if the switch is your only platform? What if you value being able to play the game on the go? My point is there are factors that might lead someone to purchase a game on Nintendo’s platform even though there is a price premium. The devs are setting costs based on what the market will bear. I’m not saying I like paying more for games on the switch I’m saying their are simple(ish) reasons for the “Switch tax” to exist. In the end prices will drop once the developers have data that the game is no longer selling at an acceptable rate at the current price.

@apoqalypse it’s pretty simple. Cup head was released two years earlier on other platforms. Therefore it gets steeper discounts on those platforms. The publisher knows that if you are looking at cup head on the switch you either don’t have it on another system or value the portability of the switch. They don’t have an incentive to lower the price because there is still sufficient demand at the current price.

I immediately preordered this upon receiving the notification email from analogue. This company produces the highest quality retro products. I’m stoked.

@Mince has been a Nintendo fan for 5 (five!) whole years and thinks they can be annoying for fans. I’ve been a Nintendo fan for 30 years and can confirm they are often “annoying”. But they are also masters of their craft so we all put up with it.

@sandman89 I'm with you! I never understood the obsession with Animal Crossing! Different strokes I suppose.

I just picked up the starter pack for $7. It's a toy for my kid plus I get a game out of it

@LucBL yep, it’s just you! DF is one of my favorite YouTube channels.

My wife and I each bought a pass. It was actually a lot of fun and well worth the $8 in our opinion. Getting invited to an EX raid is not THAT difficult. I believe you just have to beat any 5 star raid at an EX gym. This is pretty easy to do on wednesdays in any decent sized city. If you’re more rural I feel your pain. Pokémon Go is definitely not great if you don’t live near/in a city.

Damn. I love both Puma and Tetris but the way they have been designed together is so ugly. I won’t be getting these.

Instabuy!!! I can’t wait

Can we please get a review?

Like many others in these comments - I'm not sure this constitutes review bombing. It sounds like people are reviewing the game based on what EA has done (or failed to do) with this update.

Where you at @60framesplease

waiting on physical

If the base is going down all your base are belong to us.

returned my switch version for the PS4 version. Might download the switch version later.

@mrmememan 540p is a resolution of 960 x 540

Boom shakalaka

I hate double dipping but GRIS is worth it.

Hard pass, The Escapists 2 sounds so much better. I'm a big fan of limited releases but in my opinion they missed the mark on this choice.

Ordered! I love Ghostly and wanted a way to play SNES games!

@Masurao They are definitely already profiting from hardware sales.

@Appleflap It is awesome, but be prepared for some ridicule. My fiancé calls it my iPad strap-on lol. But as far as I know the wedding's still on.

@Appleflap Get one of these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K1LYSX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I absolutely love mine! you can use it anywhere and it is quite compact (but a bit heavy). The only minor gripe I have is that the construction of the part that actually holds the tablet/switch is a little bit plasticky but if you are gentle with it it should hold up fine.

@Giygas_95 Haha, glad to see someone else with my gutter humor!

I never thought I would be listening to Alex telling me about how maximum sensitivity is desirable.

@brunojenso I suppose that makes sense but I don't have too much sympathy for people who don't educate themselves before making a purchase. It wasn't exactly a secret that Rime was a disaster. Ignorance is not a great excuse. And if one was caught by surprise this time hopefully one would learn to take the 5 minutes to do a bit of research next time one is thinking of buying a game.

@brunojenso I just don't understand that line of thinking. If I purchase a game at a certain cost KNOWING that there are problems with it then I have made the judgement call that I want the game in spite of the problems with it and that TO ME it's worth the money. The games's worth to me shouldn't decrease just because there is a sale sometime later. All games go on sale at some point. People choose to buy games at full price because they want to play them RIGHT NOW! There's nothing wrong with that but it's not productive to be upset when the game inevitably goes on sale. All that being said I'm still not getting this game. Sounds like a total disaster and there's plenty out there on the switch without these sort of problems.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE On amazon the price for both games on the Wii U is $89.05

@therealgamer Lucky you for getting to play this on the Wii U. But the fact is that most of us don't have that system. This is my first Nintendo system since N64 and I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about. I preordered from amazon and got both games for less than $50. Seems like a pretty good deal to me!

Civ II on my XP vm, BotW, Metroid Prime: Federation force, Pokemon Yellow (3ds version)

There are 10 types of people - those who think this is speed running and those who don't.

mean == 10.18
median == 12
mode == 13 or 20

It's most likely we'll see it between 10 and 13 days from the direct mini.

I'm relatively new to the concept of Nintendo Directs but this one seemed pretty good to a newbie like me. I haven't had a Nintendo Home Console since the 64 and I'm loving my switch! I feel a bit bad for people who owned the wii-u since there are so many ports but for someone like me the ports are welcome!

I mean to each their own but this is super weird. It makes me wonder what happened to her to make her this way.
