i'm assuming this chart is including the console pack-in bundle pre-installed [digital] games ? (Animal Crossing, Switch Sports, Mario Wonder, Mario Kart)
@NintendoLife Switch Lite Hyrule Edition actually comes with 12 months NSO + Expansion Pack, which is ~double the value of standard NSO ๐ง
also you can't have checked your prices as it has been ยฃ199.95 from The Game Collection for around a week now (after being reduced to ยฃ184.95 for a short time)
i feel the Switch Lite Aloha Editions are definitely worth mentioning too as they also now include 12 months NSO, like the regular Switch and Switch OLED bundles, in addition to including Animal Crossing New Horizons ๐ช
So Iโm guessing there was never any patches for Knight to at least make it more playable?
there were patches. i'm not sure how much difference they made. i bought the physical release for a very good price a couple months back, i loved Asylum on 360 so much ๐ i only really bought it for the first game. for anyone interested: when you insert the cartridge all 3 separate game tiles pop up, but only Asylum is playable. City & Knight require download. as the downloads are associated with the cartridge [rather than being via a single-use download code] resale is possible, as they can be downloaded & redownloaded as long as that remains available via servers
@NintendoLife "yes, we're pretty sure this is a fake cartridge, [...]. But so what?" ??? excuse me ? "so what?" ? are counterfeit games a joke to you ? you don't see counterfeit Nintendo products as a problem ?! ๐ฎ that is a shocking view IMO
there is absolutely nothing honourable or charming about someone paying money for a counterfeit pokemon game, deciding to make a long tiktok video about "reuniting it with its owner" ??? ๐ค (i mean WTH ? it's literally a worthless counterfeit game) ๐ค then flying from England to Japan ๐ค ??? and pointlessly going to 3 pokemon shops ๐คก
all just for the sake of making the video ๐คฆ
tiktok video culture is an utter joke ๐ well done everyone who consumes tiktok videos ๐๐๐ well done indeed
@Samalik 20 bucks for a year ? an entire year ?? uhhhh i'm pretty sure you would be hard-pressed to find that kind of value anywhere else ๐ that's literally $1.67 per month . . .
not to mention Family Membership $35 per year for 8 accounts = $4.38 per account per year . . . that's almost 5ร less than Individual Membership. it's just silly money
@Vyacheslav333 can continue playing NSO games without internet for a week. then all it needs is just a momentary internet check, and that's it again for a week.
do what you want to do, when you want to do it. there's no telling you'll still want to do it in future ๐
@Vyacheslav333 not that $50 is very expensive for a whole year ! ? you can share the cost with others in a family group for just $10 each [split 8 ways] ๐ฅ๐ฅ laughably cheap
@NintendoLife shopto & cdkeys have fantastic price on NSO+ Family membership ! ~ ยฃ45 ! ๐ฅณ that's 25% off the Nintendo price ! ๐คฉ and sharing the cost of that between 8 people ๐ค that's silly money ๐ฅ ๐
yes i thought the original report seemed strange, as i recall hearing not long ago that Nintendo isn't happy having this type of shareholder . . . certainly wouldn't want them increasing their stake ! ๐ต
how is it @NintendoLife have completely failed to mention the utterly ridiculous price ? ยฃ59.99 ??? how absolutely absurd. last 3rd party game i remember launching at a ridiculous price was Sonic Superstars @ ยฃ54.99 iirc . . . that pricing strategy did not go well for Sega . .
every Black Friday period they release a special bundle, but the game has always been Mario Kart. last year for the first time it was the OLED model. it's nice that they are going to change the game ๐
in the new trailer, Zelda is seen on a cliff edge talking to a small Goron who says "My brother said he'd do the glider ride with me, but now he won't play at all!"
@mlfowler X comment: "thoughts: this accessory is being pushed so late as the next system will require this to charge old joycons as the new system wont be compatible with this mechanism. why not release it now and they can probably make more money when they rerelease it for the next system"
@NintendoLife you let me down by saying you'd let us know if you hear anything about a local release i just shared your article only to immediately discover it was shared by Nintendo UK on X at 9am ! ๐คฌ
@Big_Fudge i didn't say it was "way lower" ! ๐ lol. i honestly don't know what to say about barely anyone wanting NSO+ ๐ค i for one really enjoy it. i'm sure many others do too. so it's a welcome thing. certainly being NSO+ instead of standard NSO (which is all they mentioned in the Direct) was a nice surprise ๐
actually it's only ยฃ10 more RRP than regular Switch Lite RRP. which is the same difference between Switch OLED and Switch OLED Special Editions . . .
allbeit the Switch Lite Aloha Edition did come with Animal Crossing New Horizons game pre-installed for the same price as the regular Switch Lite ๐
