Even considering that I don't think they're a great deal unless you're the kind of person that absolutely must have the digital versions of games immediately upon release, because that's the only situation they're only available at full price. But you can always find physical copies even at release for cheaper, and there's digital sales, and there's second hand physical copies, and there's the potential to resell a physical copy etc etc

thanks for this, seems like its not for me so I guess I'll go fishing on ebay for a cheaper copy of SMBUD

I've found good deals on facebook marketplace too, I got fire emblem for €25 when it wasn't that old, and I picked up Mario Kart, Odyssey and Zelda for €100 when I first bought my switch.

Been playing DOOM '93 and suddenly realised that the music for E3M1 is in fact a MIDI cover of this:

This is the music from the game:

I remember loving the music in that level as a little kid and when I got San Andreas at like 13 or 14 Them Bones came on and I was like "SON OF A BITCH".

Then I got yelled at for swearing.

I have a question that Nintendo makes incredibly obtuse, so I thought I would ask it here:

My sister is playing Animal Crossing and is borrowing my switch to do so. However, Xenoblade is coming out and I want to play it. We don't live together anymore, so I thought I would buy her a Switch lite and do some transferring.

However, according to this, I can't do that? Is there a solution to my situation? I recall Dan Ryckert from Giant Bomb saying he finagled some system where he and his wife share one account across two systems and that would be ideal.

With any game other than Animal Crossing, you could. You can't copy Animal Crossing saves though

Bought this from a sale a few weeks ago and it is definitely a game to buy only when it's under five bucks. Loved the original and this was more of the same but the game crashes way too often and has a whole lotta bugs.

Why not just pirate games if you want to save money, in my eyes anyone who spends less than 60USD on a video game is stealing money from the developer and should go to prison like all those people who pirate Amiibo.

The joycon drift has become so awful on my Switch. Tried cleaning it out and all that and it's still not much better. Of course all the big box stores I've looked at are out of joycons and Amazon is selling them for a crazy amount. GameStop is selling them for $80. Is that the usual retail price for these things? If so that's loving ridiculous.

The main collectible is the coin, showing the virtue and power of capitalism. In the RPGs, Mario gladly pays for items and equipment he needs. He spent much of his life living around the financial center of the US. His main job is a plumber, he's apparently not part of any unions, and he still pulled his bootstraps and worked hard until he earned a medical degree.

And you dare say Mario's a drat commie?

What’s the difference between pirating a game and buying a used copy from Game Stop as it pertains to awarding those who actually created the thing?

Pirating is cheaper and more convenient if you have a system to pirate on. For real though, the used copy had someone buy it at some point and it didn't just get endlessly copied.


people who pirate amiibo should be sentenced for life thogh, that's just vile

Is this the thread to talk about amiibo stuff? Me and my wife were going through some storage and realized we have a yarn that's been touched maybe once that came with her 3ds game and my friend alerted me that it might be worth a little bit of money. I have no clue where to look for possible pricing or the best place to sell it.

I just saw that Cuphead is on sale for me. I’ve heard it’s really hard/unforgiving. Can you tone down the difficulty?

I love the aesthetic and by all accounts it’s a great game but I’m not really into super hard platformers.
