I've just reached Kaer Morhen so I feel like I have a lot of Witcher left probably (a third? 25%?) before taking the expansion into account, and the Fire Emblem expansion comes out Feb 13

Evoland 1/2 is only $5. The concept is that you're a nameless RPG character starting out in a Gameboy RPG and you explore to collect features that evolve what kind of game you are playing. The first is short and shallow but the second is a full game.

enojy posted:Animal Crossing preorder for $53.99 at Best Buy (physical or digital) with "my Best Buy" account and $10 worth of bonus points after pick up. Don't think there's any preorder bonus for the digital version, but god help you if you're buying the physical version of an Animal Crossing game. So it's like $45 which is about what you would get from reselling it. I'll just say god help you if you think buying first party nintendo games digitally is a good idea. And you actually pointed out that the physical version is cheaper. So you'd rather pay more? God help you.

I'm enjoying it still but the music is getting really repetitive and I skip through most of the dialogue just because I can read it 10x faster than the characters speak their lines. The music being really one note and repetitive is a real downer in a JRPG, like half the appeal of all the greats for me is walking around neat environments and letting great OST's wash over me.

RBA Starblade posted:But it's diluted in anime moonshine Look, when you've recently realized you've got an addiction to Atlus' RPG gameplay, the Switch library doesn't give you many opportunities to be choosy about the provenance of your Atlus RPG gameplay.

The only FE element I get excited for is the nice level-up jingle.

Was TMS treated like a Nintendo game or an Atlas game in relation to sales on the Wii U? To clarify, does mean that within a year it will be sub 30 dollars regularly, or will it practically never be on sale?

I think at this point, I'm missing only two 1st party games that I really want and should have; Smash and BotW. I already have Odyssey and MK8D, SMM2 and NSMBUD (the latter was a gift, I don't actually play it that much). Now it's just a matter of figuring out which one to get first.

I only get digital games so I can't speak to low print runs, but Atlas games on PS4 and 3DS go on sale fairly regularly (In fact, Persona 5's on sale now on PS4).

Look I'm an all physical guy and I'll probably get AC physical as well because it's not a big deal to me but it's not exactly hard to understand how it's a game most people would like to have digitally.

What's wrong with not wanting a giant pile of games in your house? If I actually had physical copies of all the games I owned, my living room would be a gigantic mess, and I've already got a couple of kids to do that for me. I can see the merits of wanting physical copies of games (Hell, I used to be this guy), but going all digital is fantastic if selling your games is something you're not interested in doing.

Like a Nintendo game, since it's Nintendo-published and financed, and contains (or is entirely?) Nintendo IP. You can still get it for the low price of $60 on the Wii U eShop! Kirios posted:I only get digital games so I can't speak to low print runs, but Atlas games on PS4 and 3DS go on sale fairly regularly (In fact, Persona 5's on sale now on PS4). Key difference is all those other games are published by Atlus/Sega, not Nintendo. Anything's possible, but I wouldn't bank on TMS going on sale as often or deeply as other Atlus games.

Tempura Wizard posted:In a good "I want to know more about this character and willingly approach them" type of way? Or in a bad "good lord I just wanted to put a tomato in the shipping box and now I have to mash A through the third unskippable event of the day" type of way? Good. It's more that if you talk to npcs once a day it takes way longer for them to loop than in other games and they have a lot of reactive or conditional dialogue that unlocks as you progress. Like for example characters will have dialogue that only comes up if you talk to them while they're on the same screen as two other characters after year 2 during summer after 5pm. That kind of poo poo. So you'll run into new stuff way into the game.

I'm someone who buys physical whenever they can* and even I'm getting Animal Crossing digital so that I don't have to bother with the card. *that exception being Animal Crossing because I'm going to play it a little bit every day for probably literal years along with other things that use cards.

I've been mostly* physical on Switch because I was one of the lucky SOBs who bought Best Buy's 20% discount membership thing about a week before they killed the program, and I'm probably going to go mostly** digital when that runs out in March, starting with Animal Crossing *exceptions for Smash since I frequently play for short sessions, and Mario Kart so I've always got a family-friendly multiplayer game on hand **exceptions for games that I'm on the fence about, so that I can resell them once I've had my fill

The Splash posted:Please tell me it has couch co-op because this looks great It 100% does. And seconding the OST, I'm not a dude who gives a poo poo about video game soundtracks and this one is great. "The Hunt" kicking in while beating up mall cheerleaders had me doing the listening equivalent of a double take, the music in general like actually good synthwave crossed with Lita Ford, which is rad as hell considering the aesthetics.

Sega Ages Fantasy Zone is pretty great. Upa Upa mode is a lot of fun and has some remixed music. I haven't gotten to play too much of it yet but I have one of those 8bitdo arcade sticks and playing it with one of those is great.

Just a light joke about Animal Crossing dominating your lone cartridge slot that you're taking way too seriously. I'm a fan of physical (especially for Nintendo games) but not when it comes to Animal Crossing! Also, physical and digital are the same price. Dunno where you're getting that "physical version is cheaper" from.

I've been mostly buying digital games for the Switch because it's way more convenient, more games are available digitally, and the fun of owning a physical copy of a game hasn't been a thing for me since the Wii. That said, I understand wanting to stick with physical games. I've been permanently locked out of many games I purchased digitally on the PS4 and thinking about it still pisses me off (they're fully downloaded with save data, I've stopped buying any more PS games). But I've had no issues with Nintendo and I've got little living space to play with while also being a hoarder who doesn't resell games.
