KingSlime posted:but also I bought an ereader like a big dumb idiot so I'm extra cynical about useless 50 dollar accessories only usable in 2-3 titles that the gaming industry seems to love so much, and from what i recall that gba to gcn cable wasn't too expensive They've never fully embraced the possibility of having your portable handheld interact with your home console since they went wireless, which is ironic because it would be so much easier now, except they don't have to sell you a lovely cable anymore so it never happens But the games that have tried were novel at the time; who knows if the concepts they used would fly today. I'd be totally down for a new Four Swords or traditional Crystal Chronicles game, but what else could you do with it?

What do y'all do for physical vs digital? Obviously some are digital only and I'm debating starting to just do everything that way since it's easier than carrying carts around, despite not really "owning" the games in the purest sense of the word.

As someone who despises other people on the internet, having no chance of hearing their stupid voices or having to interact with them outside of active gameplay is a feature not a bug imo

Physical for long term single player games (i.e. Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, BotW) and digital for multiplayer/any kind of spontaneous impulse play (Splatoon 2, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Bomberman R).

it really depends on the game and doesn't always follow a consistent logic, at least in my case at the very least I try to buy physical for full-priced titles that I don't see myself replaying a lot (or at all), and yes this includes the Big Ones like zelda and mario. Figure it gives me the option to hold onto them or sell them as needed little indie titles that may also have physical i'm usually just impulsive as all hell and get them straight from the e-shop, having a massive catalogue of cool and good games almost makes up for the lack of ownership/ability to re-sell almost

Little carts also help with physical due to being able to be put anywhere, but i will say it would also make it super easy to lose it outside. Heck, if the carts were N64 sized I'd probably still take them.

Are these little carts still the same price as what you find on a CD for the other platforms?

This. Though, the 20% off at Best Buy and Amazon kinda makes me lean towards physical even when I would prefer digital for a certain game that I will play spontaneously when I am currently in the middle of a big single player game. Like MK8D, a perfect game to have downloaded since it is a game I will fire up periodically. However, paying an extra 20% just pisses me off so I went physical anyway. They really need to catch up on pricing structures to compete with Amazon and Best Buy.

Carts are great for anything over 40. I want to straight trade ARMs for Pokken and I bet I'll be able to find someone fast. Stores don't buy used for good prices right now but the trade market is probably strong

I would prefer to go all digital. I own all of one physical release for the Vita, and most of my 3DS physical games are from the early days when the download speeds of the 3DS store were real real bad. But the file sizes of some of these Switch games are sheer nonsense given the onboard storage and the fact that microSD is our only alternative. Anything over 6 or 7 gigs is probably going to be a physical release for now until microSD cards are both bigger and cheaper.

If companies get all cheap, you still may need to download more than 6-7 gigs even with a physical game if they don't want to pony up for bigger cards. Like with 2K18, they used a cheaper 8GB card instead of 16GB so you had to download nearly another 8gb on your Switch on top of the card itself. Asinine.

I'll likely only buy a couple physical releases, Mario and Zelda only most likely. Digital is just simply more convenient for me and offers nearly instant gratification.

Physical only if at all possible; I like having them on my shelf and the few moments of switching the cart/cd out isn't a dealbreaker with me at all.

Is the switch stupid like the 3DS though? Where if you lose your 3ds you have to go through a ton of hoops to transfer your licenses to a new one? Or is it like every other system, where you can do all of it online?

Yes and no. There's no system transfer, you just have to log in. But you can only log into one console. So if you lose it you will have to call Nintendo to log you out of the missing switch. Then you can tie your account to any Switch. It's a much less complicated process, they don't need a serial number or anything, you don't need to have the new one already, and there should be no waiting time or ticket.

They also claim (at least, they did when I lost my Switch) that it is a one-time thing that they'll restore your account, though I do believe if you were to genuinely lose your hardware again, that they'd help you It's definitely a restrictive system though
