@Anachronism in almost all cases you get nice booklets and well made inprints in your LRG standart editions.
some people complained here in the comments, I think LRGs still better than almost all other physical publishers especially for the price

@Suketoudara
There are so many excellent rom patches for the first two generation of pokemon games, I wouldn't want to play vanila anymore to be honest.
And I'm not talking about the crazy rom hacks, I'm talking about quality of life features added to the first games and stuff like fully colored hack for red and blue.

excellent game drop

@DiggleDog did he really antagonize his fans or is it just the angry mob who is Interpreting too much into it?

I'm not a fan of him but he is right

fixed camera angles is not dated, its awesome!

it might be controversial but he is right .
Also people should stop being offended by everything.

@WiltonRoots well why do you even care about those people. just keep it and go on with your life. why do you defend a big company like Nintendo? I can tell you a secret, the switch 2 is going to be successful and won't be a wii u, you can voice your opinion Nintendo is not dying because of that.
I own every Nintendo system except of the virtual boy and I was super excited for the switch 2 and that excitement is fully gone since the announcement a month ago... and I do not even care about the increased prices.

@HammerGalladeBro
you know whats even more anoying? people who complain about articles that complain about game key cards.
instead of doing that maybe show some solidarity to other gamers, who have a problem with game key cards.
if you have no problems with GKC then better just say nothing.

oh man this is disapointing...

since i have almost all of them, I can't wait to try them out

still playing Xenoblade x to be honest...already about 100h in

@metroid02
the experimental titles you mentioned are all fine but none were great.
Octopath and Bravely i would even consider lazy with having a game structure that repeats over and over again... as soon as you understand that you go from one town to the next and to fight the guys who give you the next job class it's very quickly borring

In my opinion they are doomed. SE is trapped, new Final Fantasy games need crazy graphics or other wise the latest fans are disapointed.

They should stop making games with a repeating formula like Octopath and Bravely and look more into making well crafted and original experiences like they did on ps1.

Their last years biggest games were memberberries games, games that sold because of nostalgia, that is telling...

they made it a live service game... this means I skip or buy late in a bigger sale

this is very subjective but for me Mario Kart is worth more.
Look at Red Dead 2 and look at Breath of the Wild, then tell me which is the game thats more fun

he is right with everything

ouch that puts nintendo in a bad light

i spend already a lot for games and i don't want to spend more, which means less games or more indies

But to be fair, Xbox and Playstation having a similiar thing to game key cards, they just don't have a label for it.
many if not most of ps5 and xbox series games cannot be played if your not online or download something from the internet.

This could be the ultimate game release... if it were on cartridge...

fantastic game that I can't recommend enough

@DadJKP only talk for you. I'm playing a lot of my old games from my huge library of retro games.

@Gorlock
There is one difference compared to all other systems that are already mainly digital. Most collectors came to the Switch after all other systems started to suck. so the amount of people who still want physical is far higher on the Switch than on any other system.
In general I think Nintendo fans love physical since old Nintendo games became valuable compared to pc, sony or xbox games.
There are far more Nintendo collectors out there than other platform collectors.

the original on ps and xbox was already a game key disc... remember you needed to be online to play the game for the first time.
The game sold horrible and it seems like ubi soft did not even consider this to be part of the problem and keeps continuing this horrible practice.
hard pass on this one even though I think the game looks neat.

@Rosona
I found that comment, and you are right about what you just said.
But if you look just at third party games we are close to 90% that are coming only as Game Key Cards. But the Switch 2 is going to be successful and the Ouya comparison makes no sense I agree.

@Solid_Python
You are fully right on this!
Buy what you want I will not tell you to boycott anything!
I personally do boycott those games.

You are also right on the costs. But when it comes to Bravely Default I'm actually curious why the game is so big at all... It's not a huge RPG and it has very lowpoly graphics with lowres textures. I'm pretty sure they could have made it smaller without compromising any visual quality to fit the 8GB card.
I mean CDPR squeezed Cyber Punk on a Cartridge.

And I hope you are right with your future prediction!

@ParasolStars on my DSi all games that aren't installed are lost.
It's up to us how long physical media is around. There is still phyiscal media with music and film and it likely will never go away completely.
And man I can't imagine you buy a Vinyl and there is nothing on it but you can download the music .

@Rosona What exactly do you mean by "it's not true"?
That the system is dead? or that almost all games are Game Key Cards?

I don't think that the Switch 2 is dead but if it would sell like the Steamdeck it would be Nintendos biggest flop, far bigger than the Wii u. Steamdeck sold very poorly compared to console standards.

@romanista that is a very subjective statement of yours.
most switch 1 released games are fully on the cardridge and fine playable without any patches.
There is actually a website that tracks all of this on all systems.

@Vectrex
1) the problem is that often emulation has a worse quality. sure many people don't care, others do.
2) I think your strategy is totally valid too, but it would be great if you would be in solidarity with others, who like physical games.
The louder we are the better. You don't lose if we still get more physical games, you are just a nice person if you show your solidarity, and that is going to feel good

Is this a late Aprils fools joke!?
what comes next, that Limited Run Games says "don't you guys have internet?"

I use it often but it's not a good app to be honest.
It has so much unused potential.

not going to buy any code in a box or key card games.

@NintendoByNature It was reporeted for japanese release, there almost every game seems to be just a game key card.
In western countries it seems to be different.

this is fantastic to hear! thanks a lot marvelous !

@Yarec123 I think physical won't go away. it didn't die in film nor in music yet and it won't in games.

@Shade_Koopa
PC is slightly different than console in this regard.
I assume your more of a younger gamer?

There are many fantastic games that are not playable anymore. Those game get lost.
On PC it's A) very unlikely that steam shuts down servers B) you can buy your games at GOG and you will own the data and C) you won't get a new system every 6 Years that might make your old games unplayable.
I also think it's not great on PC.

this is far more an issue for me than the higher prices of the games.
If I pay full price for games like this, I want to own the thing.

great to hear. my preorder was canceled on the day the game should have arrived

@tektite_captain
I love Wind Waker and I tried to love Majoras Mask but so far I just couldn't.
It just doesn't click with me

Why would someone want to play the gamecube version? no 16:9, low res, worse controls, less quality of life and so on...
I really don't get it. give us the HD remastered version...

@BenAV I couldn't agree more

I'm fine with the price if it means no microtransaction etc.

@dr-ghost people like you poping up now here and there. claiming to be soooo big nintendo fans. but tell me, what exactly did they messed up that you won't continue playing their games?
is the hardware power too good?
do you prefer getting a switch 1.5 that is out dated in a year for 399?
for the tarrifs they can't do anything about, thats on you.

kinda funny that the wii u had user names and build in chat already an they went away from it

I think it was clear from the get go that they won't use hall effect sticks since they don't want to pay for the patent.
And it's also not a deal breaker, I played a lot more on the OLED Joy Cons than I played on my launch Switch and still had no joy con drift. So I think the have figured it out.

@Jester676 actually the key game cards were clearly explained on their website, just some news outlets wanted that click bait money and made things up

@Dimey also new first party ps5 games are expansive as new first party switch games.

@Dimey Almost. there are Street Fighter 6 comparisons on youtube, there is not a big difference.
some reporters said that cyber punk runs better on switch 2 than on series S.

there was already not a big graphical step from ps4 to 5 and the step between switch 2 to ps5 is even smaller because the switch has dlss and ray tracing.
