Feenix posted:It's a universal SKU. I'd say nearing* 100% of Switch games are. It is indistiguishable from the US digital version even so much as to go to the US eShop and see it "purchased" and redownloadable. Wait, if I get a digital code from Amazon.jp I can redeem it on my US account? If I can't, that's not a big deal, I have a JP account for demos, but if I could redeem it on my US one that would be baller...

Also, you can't buy digital codes from Amazon.jp unless you have a Japanese address attached to your account. Strange, considering they ship physical versions overseas. For MHXX, I had to use a fake Japanese address, then delete it from my account afterwards.

You redeem it on your Japanese account and you can immediately download it on your main account. Splatoon 2 is an exception but just check the language category.

Has any review dove into how long the game is? I know there’s supposed to be something insane like 800 power moons but I guess the general average time to beat it is my question.

I mean, I can understand wanting Peach to break the formula more often. Enough games have come out where they subvert it, and Nintendo themselves have spoken to how they want to break the mold more lately. It's not a deal breaker and nor do I think it should detract from the overall score but I can see how it's worth criticism. Nodosaur fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Oct 26, 2017 |

The Kotaku review did say something about it in the sidebar but left it out of the review. Of course, even mentioning it made multiple people in the comments section go nuclear.

The thing is that it isn't really that difficult to have worked in the option to choose either Peach or Mario as the playable character. You'd have to take out the wedding angle, but it could be as simple as either Mario or Peach gets a powerful hat that gives the user magical possession abilities, Bowser kidnaps them to try to steal the hat, the stolen hat's friend teams up with the kidnapped character's friend and off you go! Make costumes for both characters, maybe change up the puzzles a little to accommodate for Peach's floating, and you've given users a choice without it actually effecting the plot or gameplay in a serious way.

I was referring to njsykora's post just above mine. Some people don't want to know the length of the game, I bet. I didn't see what razorsaw posted but please everyone use spoiler tags. It's not even out in US yet. I'm peacing out of this thread for a few days now, just wanted to see folks gush about the 10/10's.

well, I don't you even necessarily have to change Peach's role or make her playable to make this work. I mean, she's a damsel in distress in Subspace Emissary, and then later she escapes and calmly strolls through explosions. Just. Give her a little bit more to do, I guess. Blah blah blah, story in Mario, but story and characterization don't need to be elaborate or complex to be effective.

The repetition of the same old Peach-gets-kidnapped story angle sticks out in an otherwise conceptually imaginative game, and it's pretty clearly done out of a sort of obstinate sense of series tradition, and I think its fair to comment on that in a review because it's fair to comment on ANY aspect of a game in a review.
