If they really wanted to alleviate Amiibo availability issues they would have put out more amiibo cards. Unless their problem is sourcing NFC chips, those can be easily mass produced.

its because nintedo charges higher license fees and cart production costs and requires that physical and digital cost the same

My Senran Kagura 2 physical copy says otherwise.

I had a really weird issue with my Switch this morning, I turned it on from sleep mode and everything looked fine, Zelda was paused on the inventory menu where I left it but neither Joycon would do anything. They wouldn't turn on if I pressed any of the buttons or even connected them to the Switch itself. I could press the sync button once to get them on but not in pairing mode but they still didn't interact with the Switch. I looked at the screen more closely and it seems like Zelda actually froze, so maybe the whole Switch locked up but it didn't. Putting the Joycons onto the Switch would make the click sound effect and the flashes on the sides of the screen. gently caress it, I held the sleep button to bring up the sleep/shut down menu and tried to use the touch screen for that but no dice. I could control the volume with the buttons. Neither the Joycons worked or the touch screen, Zelda was completely frozen up and the only thing I could do was a hard reset. That finally got things going normally but what the gently caress, I hope this isn't a common thing for me now.

I had a similar thing with Disgaea 5 this past week. I left it sitting on a menu screen, then ended up not playing for a week. I powered it on for the Zelda and system update and it seemed to have frozen. Music would play in small bursts and it would respond with a delay during that time. I could still go to the home screen without trouble and perform the update. The little icon to inform me the update had finished even popped over the frozen screen.

I really hope this isn't just coming out now that people have finished their games and are leaving it on standby for a long period of time.

Should I save money and buy physical or go all in on digital?

I would say Digital is the better option for any portable system. I've found I play games less if I have to carry around a separate card.

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

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

GUST's barely advertised Azure 2, it's been delayed twice, and neither it or its predecessor looked too hot, so I'm kinda baffled by this. Why not Atelier Firis or something?

Firis sold far less than Sophie did at Japanese launch, and their attempt to cash in on Atelier for 3DS failed miserably. Azure is at least different in style.

PuyoPuyo was known as Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine in the 90s if you need to compare it to an earlier game.

Also is it just me or is everyone voiced by the same VA

Cheap Japanese anime games have a small pool of talent willing to come in to do uncredited voices. As soon as they get a good SAG gig they stop returning calls.
