@DTfearTheBEARD 👍 never thought of cup noodles, might mix it up a bit next month with beans and noodles now! Yep, I think you, me and lots of others are going to be in a bit of switch 2 poverty next month. Luckily, it could be worse though.
Good idea if you need it, but nintendo took their first payment today for MKW and switch 2 accessories, so after the console payment goes I'm on baked beans for the month of June!
Fast forward 50 odd years, seeing peach riding a motor bike on MK from behind, I can see how she got her name, so doesn't surprise me??! As for the nude card, the pack probably came with a free pack of cigarettes for children back then!
No unfortunately, but I have noticed alot of the ridiculous prices on ebay uk being charged, have gone down by quite a bit! Thankfully, for me personally, my switch 2 pre-order experience went very well with nintendo.
My switch 2 when it arrives, will be used for nintendo physical games only apart from very good value for money games like fast rmx. My ps5 will handle other physical games as it is the more powerful console. But, unfortunately, like it or not, the days of physical are numbered. Hopefully, going forward, we will still have a choice, but will have to pay a premium, which I 'm OK with, but not over the moon with.
Got the confirmation email from nintendo that monies will be taken shortly for my switch2 console, MKW and accessories! Ready to go and really looking forward to 3 weeks from tomorrow!! 😀
I remember paying £80 just for street fighter 2 turbo on the snes from Littlewoods catalogue back In the 90s. Then spending the next 52 weeks paying it off! So this not only looks great, but is fantastic value for money! What with this and nintendo sending me an email stating they will be taking money shortly for my switch 2 pre-order, well I've had worse days!!
@ tanukisan7x Although I agree with you in principle, if a game is worth over £50, then myself and others are willing to pay it and do, or we wait for the inevitable price drop. The alternative, is we hang up our modern controllers for good and go retro. Most of my games, are below 100gb, visually stunning and up until recently have been very reasonably priced, if not, generously priced. I used to pay £40 for games back in the 90s, so paying over £50 or even £60 or more for a game that I really want, does not concern me in the slightest. Comparison, in 1994 i paid £40 for the snes donkey kong country, in today's money, that is £83.15. I have just preordered donkey kong bonzanza for £65, so you could argue DKB is cheaper than DKC. We all have to factor in every thing has gone up. However, there is a limit and IMO we are at that limit for now.
@DonkeyKongBigBoy I'm talking much further down the line, when people like me will either choose to hang up our controller or be taking a dirt nap. As for people making their choice. I disagree, as stated, more people want a choice by along way over totally digital.
@DonkeyKongBigBoy yep, I, like you can see where it is all going. Gamers like me/my age won't be gaming for much longer and generations coming through are more digital. But as it stands, there are more people wanting a choice. For how much longer, well, we shall see.
@DonkeyKongBigBoy it would seem most gamers like a choice between physical and digital, with a slightly bigger percentage wanting physical compared to digital. However, the largest percentage would like a choice by a country mile.taken from gamefaq's site.
@DonkeyKongBigBoy I have also seen votes on this site which would suggest those wanting physical are not in the minority. I see the benefits of both, but my choice is physical along with lots of others.
Yep, sold and really looking forward to this. I have terminator 1 and 2 games for my og megadrive and still fire them up every now and then and enjoy like I did back in the 90s!

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@DonkeyKongBigBoy sales may well be better, but again, the majority of consumers want the choice. But, yep we can agree to differ.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2

@WiltonRoots it's all about choice and most people would like a choice between physical and digital regardless of the way gaming is going.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@DonkeyKongBigBoy maybe, but the fact is more people want a choice.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@gazamataz just researched from a different site as above and the majority want choice like me and you and lots of others.
