:yeah: maybe?

I dunno I think I'll get home with my Switch and look at some reviews and see if the single player content merits the price, like I really do want it just for multiplayer which looks okay but at $55 CAD I kind of want more than just that.

Lets you store a bunch of pokemon in the cloud, and facilitate transferring them between pretty much every pokemon game ever.

Lets you store like a billion Pokémon from any Generation 6 and 7 game. You can then transfer them to any of your other games, effectively letting you trade with yourself without needing a second 3DS.

So they have to tell us about the supposed tiers of online before launch, right?

Is it actually different subscriptions or was that just how they represented the exchange rate?

The latter. Also the system launches in March but the paid online doesn't come until the fall so it might not be set in stone (hence the 2-3000 yen range he gave).

Though that doesn't mean there couldn't be tiers, but they've given no indication that that would be the case.

I keep going back and forth about Zelda. There is no question I'm getting it but I just can't decide if I want to go digital or not. My gut tells me that I'm going to be playing the game for a long rear end time so I'd like to always have in on the device but my head is telling me save money and buy it from amazon.

The exchange rate has been bouncing between 100 to 120 JPY per USD. Last month it had a high of 117 and it's been hovering around 113 for the past 2 weeks.

Speaking of other not-full-price Switch games, Puyo Puyo Tetris is only $40, putting it to $32 via Prime. I think Has-Been Heroes also has a physical release but is only $20?

I like this variable pricing scheme so far.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is apparently :10bux: cheaper digital too so one more reason to get it that way.

In all seriousness, I can't believe it's not a pack-in game. I get their reasons but Wii Sports must have sold so many Wiis that missing out on the same trick here just seems amateur.

Too bad I don't have a cart of 2 and it not on any UC VC as far as I know. Here hoping it along with 1 gets a VC release on the Switch.

Also I forgot I had 64 but haven't played it and the only thing I know of 64 is this one song

Wasn't there some recent issue with Pokemon Bank? Aside from idiots trying to put Missingno in to Sun/Moon and messing up their games in the process. If you stop using it for too long they delete your banked Pokemon or something insane like that?

Dang man quit trying to make left handed people sound like they're crippled

How did I do that? Preferring to play left handed and with a d-pad over buttons but appreciating that I could still play left handed nonetheless? I can and do lots of things right handed, but playing Prime Hunters on the DS right handed would have been too much for accurate twitch reactions. I liked left handed mode as-is, but a d-pad instead of face buttons would have been the icing on the cake. That's all.

Preordered off Amazon, so $32 with the Prime discount.

...but I want it digitally. I figured when my sister's family gets a Switch I'll give them my copy so I can destroy them all at it (vs doing so in Tetris & Dr. Mario for SNES right now). I don't know if I'll keep the keychains. Maybe I'll give it to them when they show they can beat me.

Game Over
Return of Mido

I feel like going physical or digital with Switch really won't matter like it did with WiiU since it's all cartridges this time. I went ahead and ordered a 3rd party carrying case for like, $20, and it comes with two little 4-cartridge cart holders for travel. 8 games + 1 in the switch itself is probably way more than I'll ever need for any amount of travel I do.

Also that Snake Pass game looks like a really interesting concept for a 3D platformer. I'm definitely interested.
