No way. It's an amusing game, but it's level of humor is nowhere near Paper Mario's. And it's sense of humor is different from it.

The real reason to get it is because it's a great strategy game. If that doesn't sound appealing, then I don't suggest making the purchase.

It sounds mildly appealing, but not $60 appealing.

If the game is $60 you are doing it wrong. GCU has been available for years and pays for itself in 3 new games.

It's a charming strategy game with 80+ hours of content. If you're not into strategy games then please stop acting like it's a game that you might be interested in.

There's literally a giant sign above every store telling you they have the "Best Buy". This is not debatable.

That and for $30 you get 20% off all video games and amiibo and lego dimensions and other things.

So you spend $150 in 2 years and after that it's all gravy. Plus you get rewards certificates for every $100 spent. I think it's $5 for every 100 points/dollars. I think is it 100. MIght be a bit more but whatever. And every time you make a purchase you get the option of doing a mini review that gives you points. It all adds up really quickly. No other video game retailer comes close to this.

If you buy 1 game every 6 months then it pays for itself. And saying Amazon Prime is good is BS. Prime costs more and is not as inclusive.

Plus the GCU 20% off stacks with other discounts. So when they do "Buy 2 Get 1 50% off" or "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" deals like they always do around holidays, your discount is even deeper.

That 20% off is also for all new games, no matter how old they are. The only reason I buy games anywhere else is if I really want a digital copy from the eShop or PSN or if there is store-specific DLC (which needs to die in a fire :argh:

I agree. Prime is a good deal if you are in a rush but:

You get free shipping w/ Amazon if you spend $35
Prime streaming is the worst of the 3 majors
It costs $100 a year.

I can't speak for the difference in customer service because I have had prime for years and am used to them treating me well. Still, I think prime is good. Especially when paired with a Prime Visa and being the primary. (5% rewards on all amazon purchases)

Or if you live somewhere with Prime Now. Getting things delivered to me RIGHT NOW is totally worth $100/yr.

It's good, but not good enough. I realized after playing several hours of testpunches that if I bought ARMS and was playing ARMS the whole time I would be asking ~~where's poochy?~~ why am I not playing Splatoon?

It was re-announced months ago for October release. Probably right around the end of the new season.

Yeah, announced for the Xbone, PS4, and PC. Previously I thought it wasn't coming to the Switch because I believed it was using Oblivion's Onyx engine (which would be pointless to make work on the Switch when there would only be one game) but it turns out FBW uses the same engine as Mario+Rabbids... which performs well on the Switch (really well).

So really there's no reason for them not to port it to the Switch, it's not like the South Park games are filled with hi-res textures and ambient occlusion or Hairworks or any of the usual graphical poo poo that makes consoles chug.
