I can always rely on Infinitum going on and on about how great pirating things is, or how great indie games are to brighten a depressing day.

I haven't pirated a game in a long rear end time, but I certainly won't begrudge the Aussies that do. :shrug:

If you lads in the US suddenly had to start paying 30-40% more per digital product you wouldn't cop a bar of it, so why should we?

:filez:

im not blaming you, I would pirate stuff too if I got dicked over like that.

in fact, I've been in a similar situation in the past too, and I've pirated it

im not saying its a good or cool thing or justifying it, i just will pirate something if I feel like im being screwed or the company isnt making it at least reasonably easy for me to acquire

The Switch being region free is such an absolutely incredibly feature for us, that I don't think you yanks will ever be able to truly appreciate it as much as we can overseas.

You look at the last generation and the fact we didn't get certain Selects games here
Super Mario 3D World - Brand new via Amazon US $17USD (~$23AUD)
Super Mario 3D World - Brand new via EBGames Aus ~60USD (80AUD)

The same is pretty much true across the board, and still holds true for the 3DS. Nintendo games never get discounted here, and you're still paying full price here yeaaaaaars after release.

But now? Now we can import cheap as gently caress games once they start being deeply discounted physical copies of games via Amazon later and I'm absolutely drooling with anticipation :3:

Did anyone weigh in on Has-Been Heroes? How is it playing on a controller? It's also on Steam and kind of looks like playing with a mouse might be better, but would like something else to play on my Switch.

I found the game delightful and just now finally beat it to my satisfaction (all the endings, most of the enemies) at More Than 35 Hours.

I got the impression from playing the Switch version, primarily in handheld mode, that the controls were designed with a console in mind. Reorganizing your characters is unintuitive at first but easy enough to adjust to with buttons; I imagine it'd be more frustrating with a mouse.

e: Also it's a fantastic play-from-bed-for-just-a-little-longer game. I probably logged 8 or so hours from under the covers when I woke up at odd hours of the night.

Is there any reason/part inside the pro control that makes it expensive or is it just Nintendo marking it way up for profit?

Thinking of just grabbing that 128 SD card while it's on sale instead of going for the 200 gig one... Truth is aside from Mario Kart all major titles I'll be buying physical copies for, and I can't imagine that indie games and VC games are going to take up that much space... Even if by some miracle they include things from the GameCube like rouge squadron there isn't that many old games that I truly need to have... right?

If you buy physical mainly I can't imagine ever needing more than 64gb.

I bought the last 1st edition+stickers BoI around here because I'm a moron idiot and false scarcity works on me.

The amiibo/NFC reader. All the other things inside are probably also inside the $60 MSRP Sony and Microsoft readers.
