Hopefully Amazon Canada has a lot of these same deals, and if so, only one that interests me is Kirby's Return to Dreamland. I don't know if I would get it though, with more interesting games like Kirby Air Ride, and Metroid Prime 4 being released soon.
I bought the game, and I'm having a lot of fun with this game, and I'm not even that big of a Pokemon fan!
I think people should not listen to the internet, and give the game a try if they like Pokemon in anyway. The beginning starts slow, but it does eventually pick up, and the city has a lot to collect and do in it.
I bought the game for Switch 2 with zero expectations, and I'm honestly having a lot of fun with it. The beginning was a little slow, but it definitely picks up.
Considering how the economy is right now with people not spending their money as frivolous as they would have before, I think the sales are pretty good.
I'm one of those people that was happy Lesnar beat the heck out of Cena lol Can't stand Cena, never have, never will. Lesnar in the dlc is the only thing interesting in this dlc
Why didn't Nintendo make it so you can install the game off the game card onto the system memory to be able to use the faster speeds? That way physical owners are still getting the game on a card, you just have to install it, instead of having to download the game anyways.
Free roam map now shows P Switches and Peach Medallions I collected, that was the update I really wanted! Now I'll gladly go back to this game, and find the rest.
It's a terribly optimized game than, cause this sort of game should easily do 60fps on Switch 2. Leave it to EA to give no effort and charge full price for it.
If it was half the price ($14.99 CAD instead of $29.99 CAD) I would definitely consider it. Roguelike stuff doesn't interest me, and the amount of content doesn't justify the price.
Really sad to be honest, because I really loved this game, and I also 100% it. I really wanted another reason to go back to this game.
I really hate that I got to wait until early next year for a Switch 2 version. Seems kind of stupid that by the time we Switch 2 players get the game, everyone else will have probably moved on from the game.
Wow, the Steam Deck takes forever to load the game, and when you do, it looks absolutely horrible! Makes the people saying the Steam Deck is better than Switch 2 seem absolutely silly.
Don't really know why people are hating on this game, so far I've played a little of the game on my Switch 2 and I've had fun with it. Nothing really unique to the game, but fun for people who like Star Wars.
Why are there performance drops on a launch window first party Nintendo game, especially one originally planned for Switch 1? This doesn't look good on Nintendo's part, better get to working on a patch really fast.
Of course it's Toronto area, it's ALWAYS the freakin Toronto area only in Ontario 🙄 I'm not driving 2 hours to try it, really wish they gave it to other cities in Ontario.
Xbox people usually wait for their games to go on Game Pass, or if they go on sale for the right price. The game is definitely priced too high considering you can get a physical copy on PS5 for almost half the price.
Canada's own Victor Lucas of Electric Playground saying what we all want.
A physical game should have the game on it! This popping in a physical card to have to download a digital copy is just stupid.
I personally want physical just because I live in a rural area with very crappy internet, if I lived in a town or city like others, I wouldn't care. Also, if we are going to keep getting 50gb plus game sizes, I'm going to be running out of storage space a lot, and constantly buying 256gb cards, which is all I can manage to find at the moment.
I bought Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077 physically at launch. I'm interested in getting Yakuza, Street Fighter 6, and Sonic x Shadow Generations but I'm not willing to buy digital/ a game key card release. Nintendo definitely needs to listen to it's fans and get rid of them.
Got to be honest: a live action Zelda movie really worries me. I still feel like they should have went with a animated movie and casted great actors to voice the characters, kind of what Mario Movie did.
I had it happen to me while playing Cyberpunk with Pro Controller. All I did was reconnect my controller so the rumble would turn back on, then went to Cyberpunk settings and turned down the rumble intensity. Seems to be working so far 👍
@TheBigK Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 with Phantom Liberty is around that size, and on Switch 2 is around 60 GB, so maybe the same thing will happen with FF7 Intergrade?
Ok, Nintendo needs to fix this garbage practice really fast. There is no good reason why Switch 1 should be physical, while every Switch 2 third party release is either a game key card or code in box. WE WANT REAL PHYSICAL!
I was hoping this game would get some kind of enhancement from for the Switch 2. I might give this a try again, but still hoping for a real patch to take full advantage of the new hardware.
I use to be a big physical collector, but I think it's time people realize it's a dying medium.
This will be my first all digital Nintendo console, it's going to be weird not having physical cartridges, but I'm not going to complain about change that most people have adopted to already.
Basically what I'm saying: times are a changing, and I'm not going to fight it.
I'm hoping to get one, just because my Switch 1 Pro Controller is pretty worn in, and I was holding off getting a new one. Good thing I did because Switch 2 got announced, and I'll be buying it's Pro Controller.
It's hard to get interested in this when it's a 10 year old game that was on PS3/PS4, and I can buy the PS4 version for $30 CAD, while the Switch 2 version is $70 CAD. What little they are adding for the Switch 2 version isn't worth the price, at least not to me.
This is pretty sad to hear! I really hope people in the UK find another retailer that has some extra Switch 2's to sell, and they still get the opportunity to get the system on launch day.
I think this is pretty terrible of GAME, why would you take so many pre-orders then at the last week you cancel so many of them?!? Would be VERY disappointing...
@DonkeyKongBigBoy lol I don't think things work like that.
What I have is the best where I am (like a said, I live in a VERY rural area) and a 12mbps tops internet speed between 5 users in my house can be terrible.
They have plans to run a fibre wire eventually through my area because of a Ontario, Canada government program to have better internet to rural areas, but god knows when they will actually get it done.
Remember when digital was just another convenient way for people to get their games in the 360 days? Now they are forcing it on us, no matter how much we show how displeased we are with the practice.
As someone who lives in a very rural area with a poor internet connection, it might sadly come to a point that I might not buy as many newer games just because of this.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
You can kick and scream as much as you want, gaming on consoles are going to be all digital eventually 😞

Re: Talking Point: Smashing Switch 2 Numbers Prove Nintendo's Strategy Is Super Effective
I've learned to never doubt the brand power that is Nintendo.
With the stacked amount of first party games coming out just within' it's first year of release, I expect that number will climb even higher.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Scored US' Biggest Physical Game Launch Since TOTK

Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
I'm only like 5 hours into the game, but the thing that creeps me out the most is how tall AZ is!!! 😲
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
Really starting to regret buying a Switch 2, with basically every release not from Nintendo being a game key card.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
If you add up all three Xbox console sales (837) it isn't even half of what the base 8 year old Switch sold...very sad.
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
I think it's just some random, adorable short film they decided to make that has nothing to do with any of their franchises.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Finally Gets Switch 1 & 2 Release Date
Get rid of: Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Special Forces, Advance, and Tournament Edition. Add in: Gold, Deception, Armageddon, and Shaolin Monks.
Still buying the game because I love Mortal Kombat, but I would have rather those games where added.
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Bananza Is Getting DLC, And It's Out Today
Love DK Bananza, and I'm happy for the dlc, but I'm not happy about the price.
Also, I feel like Mario Kart World should have had dlc before this game needed it.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Demo Races Onto Switch Next Week

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
@Willo567 no, I haven't seen many previews because I don't want many spoilers. If it's only tiny frame rate drops like that, then it should be fine.

Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
Really hope we get a western version of this sometime soon, game key card is fine with me, better than not getting the game at all.
Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?
Just as fast as downloading something on my PS5, and WAY faster than downloading on Switch 1, so I have no complaints 😁
Re: Microsoft Announces Another Wave Of Layoffs, Over 9,000 Jobs Affected

Re: Poll: What's Your Switch (2) Game Of The Year So Far?
As of right now, Cyberpunk 2077 and Mario Kart World, but I have a feeling DK Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 might change that.
Re: Poll: Have You Won Knockout Tour Online In Mario Kart World Yet?
I got into a race once, placed 5th. Got a disconnect message so many times, I'm surprised I got to even play through the one race.
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
People still listen to Digital Foundry? All I hear with their stuff is "blah blah, tech words, blah blah" and it's just not for me.
It's a huge step up from the original Switch, and I've been absolutely loving the games!

Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Donkey Kong Bananza's Switch 2 File Size
@sethfranum they already said their games won't be on game key cards
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
I bought Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077 physically at launch. I'm interested in getting Yakuza, Street Fighter 6, and Sonic x Shadow Generations but I'm not willing to buy digital/ a game key card release. Nintendo definitely needs to listen to it's fans and get rid of them.
Re: Rumour: The Search For The Zelda Movie's Link & Zelda Has Begun, Apparently Seeking Actors 16-23
Got to be honest: a live action Zelda movie really worries me. I still feel like they should have went with a animated movie and casted great actors to voice the characters, kind of what Mario Movie did.
As a huge Zelda fan, I really hope I'm wrong.
Re: 'Rumble Has Been Turned Off Due To Prolonged Use'? Don't Worry, Your Switch 2 Joy-Con Probably Aren't Broken
I had it happen to me while playing Cyberpunk with Pro Controller. All I did was reconnect my controller so the rumble would turn back on, then went to Cyberpunk settings and turned down the rumble intensity. Seems to be working so far 👍
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Scores Switch 2 Release Window
@TheBigK Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 with Phantom Liberty is around that size, and on Switch 2 is around 60 GB, so maybe the same thing will happen with FF7 Intergrade?
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Scores Switch 2 Release Window
I'm happy we are getting this, and I can wait till' winter time to play it, I have a lot of back catalog to get through.
One thing that upsets me though, is that Xbox got Final Fantasy XVI, and so far it sounds like we aren't. I want that game, too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)
