Yeah, this has pretty consistently been $1.50 on the US eShop on sale. It's worth the full $15 asking pricing, but $35? Moved away from physical releases for most indie games myself.

@UmbreonsPapa IMO, the Game & Watch looks really really cool!

@Grahamthecracker Switch controller does not have analog triggers.

@BANJO I just wonder what Nintendo's definition of limited is.

@Expa0 I totally agree. Anyone who cannot snag a copy in that window will be paying quadruple the price on eBay. Why would they limit a collection that so many people have been chomping at the bit for?

Wait... the physical edition is a limited run and will only be available until spring 2021?

@KIRO It has the guts of the AGS-101, but a new case/buttons. The case is an icy white and the buttons are glacier blue. So, not a mod to functionality but to aesthetics.

Heck yeah. I paid $120 for a modded GBA SP, so $199 for a premium product like this isn't too much of a stretch for me. The $99 dock doesn't seem too far-fetched given the price point of the switch dock.

Really looking forward to it. Will we see a review for this title soon?

@Coffee_Drinker Thanks, that's helpful. SV is brilliant, and I prefer the pixel art anyway.

For someone who's never played harvest moon, what differentiates it from stardew valley? Any reason to pick this up if I already own and enjoy SV?

THPS 3 was where it was at. Once they added the manual to connect strings of tricks, it was hard to go back.

Bowser's castle looks siiiick. My son is going to love it.

Hope to see more first party titles in June. Really noticing a lack of AA Nintendo games. Things like Mario sports, Pikmin, Kirby, etc. Like many, I was under the assumption that consolidating the console and handheld divisions would result in more titles. Perhaps, Switch development is that much more resource intensive.

Highlight of the direct mini for me. Absolutely adored the first two games. I have trouble playing jRPGs these days, but these captivate me for some reason. Can't wait to try the demo.

@JayJ Yep. I've been burned too many times taking a chance on a game that turns out to not be my style. Honestly, there are so many great games on the Switch right now, that I'm having no trouble keeping myself busy with bigger releases, the occasional deeply-discounted indie, and free stuff like Asphalt 9. Also, going back and replaying favorites from the past 3 years.

@DockEllisD Same. We've been so spoiled by sales, that I don't consider physical releases of Indies anymore unless it's a game I know I'll replay or keep indefinitely. And I rarely look in the eShop outside of the 9.99 and under category.

@TheGameTutor Ah, ok. I checked BGG as well, and the prices were a bit inflated (~$80). Thanks.

@TheGameTutor Very cool. Now if only it weren't out of print and super expensive. Hope they are going to do another run soon.

@NickKnack Right, nice! We used to be big into table top gaming but got out of it around 2015. Now that our kids are a little older, we've been rediscovering some favorites. Really want to give this one a shot. Thanks for your opinion.

I've heard this is one of the standout card games of recent years. The way people talk about it, it sounds like it would've been a good Spiel Des Jahres candidate. Anyone here play the physical version?

Perhaps the Lucky's tale Dev was not hired to work on mp4. It seems to make more sense that, given his background, he would be brought in to work on something more akin to dktf. Hoping retro has more than one project in the works. Maybe a new dk or something similar.

Anyone know if they ever patched the handheld frame-rate issues in City Undercover? Does Marvel Super Heroes suffer from the same dips?

All I can think is how cool it would be if we had a soulcalibur style, weapons based fighter set in the fire emblem universe...

@johnvboy That thread is hilarious, especially if you follow it up by reading this one: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/playstation-vita-two-hundred-forty-nine-us-dollars-249.432772/

@Woomy_NNYes Just pulled the trigger on 9. 😳

@ZeldaToThePast What app/service do you use to alert you to sales?

Hm, guess I should've picked up Robonauts when it was $.49...

Forgot about the EU only release. So there is hope.

@YANDMAN I don't know. I've been waiting for a Fast RMX physical since launch, and that's yet to materialize. Here's hoping!

Published by Qubic, so wait a couple of months and it will be discounted to 90% off.

Returned my launch pair a few months ago, and they ended up just sending me back brand new joy-cons at no cost. I had swapped out the sticks earlier in the year. Totally happy with the customer support experience.

Sounds like it's time to buy stock.

Mega Man? Whaaaaatttt???!!

@JaxonH Yes, they do, though if I remember correctly, it's fairly costly.

@Mqblank This is EXACTLY what I was thinking the other day. Just a PR stunt with the real model already in the final version of the film.

Huzzah! I hoping something cool would come out this week to bundle up with Lumines.

I think it's worth mentioning that Hollow Knight gets its physical release on 5/31. Quite looking forward to it!

@YANDMAN Let's hope they spent the last two years optimizing for the Switch platform so that we get a reasonable frame rate and resolution.

@GauBan I was able to cancel my Fangamer preorder. Just sent them an email and they took care of it day of.

@dugan Well, that was easy!

@nofriendo Makes me want to play HLD even more! Just waiting on that inevitable physical version.

@dugan I had a lot of fun with the first game. Most of the puzzles were fairly straightforward and there wasn't much dexterity required, but I really fell in love with the aesthetic. The music was a particular high-point for me.

The soundtrack is quite peculiar and beautiful.

Looks great. Hopefully, it doesn't run at 360p/20fps.

Most looking forward to the Child of Light / Valiant Hearts double pack that's releasing at the end of Feb.

The soundtrack is likely going to be the best part of the game, from what we've seen/heard so far.

@Ogbert I agree. This looks more like a Ridge Racer or Project Gotham type to me. Suffice it to say, it looks great. As much as I love futuristic racers, I've always preferred street racing with loads of drifting involved.

Just noticed the bulging eye. What are those eyes going to look like...?

Amazing game... But snagged this in a sale for 4 bucks the other day on the eShop. Can't really justify 10x the price for physical.
