MODERATORS
The prices plus the fact the "physical" games are just download codes (cartridges are not preloaded) really killed the hype for me. I was excited for the new Mario Kart. But $90 for a physical download code after the lackluster, unfinished feeling main titles (Animal Crossing especially) on the Switch has me kind of disgusted. The game "upgrades" also are a bummer. Mario Party Jamboree, while fun, also feels unfinished. A lot of Nintendo's newer games do, save for Zelda.
I just hope Tomodachii 2 is available on Switch 1. If it's not I'm just going to have to wait for a rip.
It is, it was announced for the OG Switch.
thank goodness!!!
Wait so all physical games are like that? Not just some of them?
I don't think all games are like that, only some. Probably the ones that got larger file sizes. I hope they don't cheap out and put smaller games also on licence-only cartridges.
That takes away much of the appeal of physical copies since Nintendo can still still control how it’s used after it is sold, like modify the contents, ban your key, etc. Buying would not be owning in that case.
Only some games are like that, and the ones that are, are cheaper.
I don't know how you think Mario Party Jamboree is unfinished tho. It's felt like the most polished one on years - probably since the first one on the Wii, except it has even more stuff than that.
