It's silly most of the comments are saying this due to the exchange rate when this same scam exists in first world countries like Australia ($4 Kmart) just like the image.
@fafonio It's $84 here while Nintendo games tend to be $69 in Australia to back up your point. No More Heroes is $69 for example so it's not just because it's more niche.
@Silly_G Just look at the UK Xenoblade LE vs here, would have bought it if it had the cool looking record instead of just some CD that's going to sit in the box more or less.
I bought Force Awakens on Xbox and without updating it it's borderline unplayable (couldn't even do multiplayer), more time in the oven is good for sure.
People here talking about how Bandi Euro games aren't smash hits fail to understand The Witcher 3 sells well, Cyberpunk also did super well in December.
I own that issue being a fan of Legend of Korra and honestly had no idea it wasn't even released, just thought it was just badly promoted or something.
This sucks for fans but the fact this took so long to even get canceled is a joke for the fans who kept waiting.
The reason why Persona 5 isn't on XBOX is more the fact the install base in Japan is fairly small, it's honestly shocking how great Persona 5 did overseas anyway (#1 best selling game here the week it came out) over COD etc.
Astro's Playroom reminds me a lot of Smash, even the final boss is something Sakurai would have thought of, the end credits having breakable yellow text (for coins) is very Smash like.
More people would want that Persona game if the first game wasn't so expensive used these days due to the series getting more popular due to the fifth game.
I bought some stuff from Club Nintendo back in the day that were a bit of a let down but this reward system is a joke, even the US has better stuff than Australia like the Mario Kart DLC (Got Deluxe but).
Some games sure I want to play but how many times do you have to play stuff like Urban Champion and Ice Climbers? They should do SNES/N64/Gamecube games along side these.

Re: US Physical Game Spending Continued To Decline Last Year, Now Sits At Half 2021's Numbers
People were still getting put into lockdown (and money from government) in 2021, 2024 is also a far less major title year.
GTA VI for example alone would make this much larger.
Re: Random: Bayonetta 3 Was Reportedly Planned To Be An Open-World Game
You can easily feel this while playing it, overall world design is weaker than normal.
Re: Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series DLC Set Lets Klonoa Wear A Giant Pac-Man Head
What's really the issue here? It's preorder cosmetics.

Re: UK Charts: WarioWare Outsells Multiplatform Newcomers To Earn Debut Number One
Gold debuted at #38 on launch, this is a huge improvement for sure.
Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Switch Online Adds Game Boy, Why Not Throw In GBA, Too?
"we had The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening reboot last year which may or may not have put GB on the backburner"
I know 2020 was a mess but it came out two years ago.

Re: Digimon Survive Has Been Delayed Yet Again, This Time To 2022
@eaglebob345 Pokemon would have 15x+ or so outsold of this no matter what, it's that strong of an IP.
Re: Metroid's Ridley amiibo Is Also Getting A Reprint This October
Samus Returns amiibo reprint please
Re: No More Heroes III Now Has A Collector's Edition And Deluxe Edition
@Silly_G Just look at the UK Xenoblade LE vs here, would have bought it if it had the cool looking record instead of just some CD that's going to sit in the box more or less.
Re: It Looks Like Metroid's 'Dark Samus' amiibo Is Getting A Reprint
I know this isn't likely inspired by Dread's upcoming release but just normal Smash re-print but please re-release the Samus Returns ones.
Re: EarthBound YouTube Videos Keep Getting Flagged For Copyright By Sony
@Mountain_Man Incorrect, it keeps getting repressed to vinyl etc.
Re: Sega Wants To Release Atlus Games Simultaneously Worldwide
@KrupierX Most of their games are fairly text heavy, a few months wait is no problem for me for a better translation.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has Been Delayed (Again)
I bought Force Awakens on Xbox and without updating it it's borderline unplayable (couldn't even do multiplayer), more time in the oven is good for sure.

Re: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game Gets A Physical Release And Two Limited Editions
If the soundtrack psychically is only in this kind of release, that's a shame, didn't have a player when my local store had the vinyl.
Re: Persona 5 Strikers Launches On Switch In The West In February, New Trailer And Screenshots
The reason why Persona 5 isn't on XBOX is more the fact the install base in Japan is fairly small, it's honestly shocking how great Persona 5 did overseas anyway (#1 best selling game here the week it came out) over COD etc.
Re: Why Is Fire Emblem So Dark On Switch? It Reportedly Runs On The Same Emulator Used On Wii U
I hope this gets patched for sure, I would play my Wii U far more if the VC wasn't like this, Gameboy Advanced games look wonderful.
Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Chinese Premiere Reportedly Cancelled Due To Racist Joke
@SullenSamurai I heard this racist rhyme all the time as a child
All the people here being like "If it's offensive just ignore it" would you defend some joke about POC being Monkeys if it was that instead?
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Shares His Thoughts About The PlayStation 5
Astro's Playroom reminds me a lot of Smash, even the final boss is something Sakurai would have thought of, the end credits having breakable yellow text (for coins) is very Smash like.
Re: The Original DOOM, DOOM II And DOOM 3 Have All Surprise Launched On Nintendo Switch
This is how back catalog titles should be released on the system with a decent price.
Re: Class Action Lawsuit Officially Filed Against Nintendo For Switch Joy-Con "Drifting" Issues
I have OCD and my left one started drifting and now my right one is having the same problem with no way to send it in to get repaired.
It's a clear problem if my childhood SNES still works perfectly fine.
Re: UK Charts: PlayStation's Days Of Play Sale Leaves Little Room For Nintendo To Shine
More people would want that Persona game if the first game wasn't so expensive used these days due to the series getting more popular due to the fifth game.

Re: EA Brings Its Cheaper 'Best Hits' Range To Switch In Japan, Starting With FIFA 19
You complain about the box art but when Nintendo does it via Selects it's fine.
Re: Limited Run Is Publishing The Switch Physical Edition Of Another World
It's 2019, move onto Heart of Darkness or something.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Not Excited About Playing NES Games On The Nintendo Switch
Some games sure I want to play but how many times do you have to play stuff like Urban Champion and Ice Climbers? They should do SNES/N64/Gamecube games along side these.
Re: Thimbleweed Park Sales On Switch Predicted To Exceed Lifetime Steam Sales
@GameOtaku I would rather Day of the Tentacle since it has the game inside.
Re: de Blob 2 Due Out 28th August On Switch According To Nintendo Website Listing
I hope it's not overpriced in digital only countries like the first game was.
Re: Review: Another World (Switch eShop)
I would rather them bring Heart of Darkness to modern systems than just keep re-releasing this, I own it on PC but I'm getting a bit sick of this.
