Gloves | 12,251 Administrator · Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 My pro controllers both have drift. Beyond that, still - not great feeling controllers overall. That said it's been a while since I even used them, I could be misremembering, but I recall not being able to find a good working Switch controller where the analogs especially were as good as or better than the Playstation equivalent. I'm used to pc gaming mouse and keyboard precision though, where each accessory costs a few hundred dollars. I might be spoiled by simply higher quality hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar! | 1,936 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The pixel remaster is also available directly from the Squeenix store. They have the PS4 and Switch versions in stock. Limit of 2 per household it looks like Definitely beats importing it or paying crazy prices on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good that people can get at least a US copy now. I disagree. I think it will bring the cost of the original down. The thing is, the first print was so limited that people were scrambling to find it so 1)they could play it (just a small fraction of people, but yeah some definitely want to play it 2)investment. so limited it will go up in price, and it sure did! There's going to be many more copies on the market, it's just supply and demand. It will bring the price down. But you're right that the first print will always be the most sought-after. Assuming this second-print is limited (sounds like it) and they won't reprint it again, the first print will definitely, years down the road, be extra expensive. But hey, I'm just celebrating that they're releasing a second printing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 4,100 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) So, I finally went out and bought a knock off wired pro controller. holy shit after all these years the system is finally usable. I never liked the handheld aspect and those joycons are possibly the shittiest controllers of any system. The pro style seems fine comfort wise. The 4 year old can use it. I like it better than the PS4 controller with the big stupid pad in the middle and the start button I can never find.

Tabonga | 2,533 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 You can order a copy of White Day from Target for $19.99 with a $1.00 discount and free shipping if you have a Target Red Circle card - with tax it came to just a bit over $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,344 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Am I just being cranky or is $75 USD for the final fantasy pixel remaster quite excessive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retail price for the digital edition is $75, although currently it's on sale at the Nintendo store for $60. With that in mind, I think it's a fair price. That said, I'm with you, it is Squeenix taking advantage. On the other hand, since people are willing to pay the price that's what it is! https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/final-fantasy-i-vi-bundle-switch/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes/no - while those games have all been (as far as I know) released on various formats they would likely cost more used. And they are pretty much A-list titles. Just depends on how one views it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,113 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) That 100CAD ($75~ USD) price still is too much for me to bother on the FF Pixel Remasters, it's just too much for what you get. I've got them in my iphone from a point they did a rare sale that got it for a good bit less than that $75. Iphone isn't Ideal but it works, can cast to whatever I have without lag, and I can use a gamepad if I cared as well not that it's needed with a turn based JRPG but still, nice as a choice. Switch is great and all, but that has more freedom of use. Edited August 10 by Tanooki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeuceGamer | 35 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I’m sure I’ve missed it, but is there a list/tracker showing releases and what is actually on the cart? For example, some US versions may only include small portions on the cart but the Japanese version may include everything on the cart with English language options. As an example, if I wanted to look to see if some of the collections released like the Metal Gear Solid Collection includes everything on the cart in any region, is there a place to review that will tell me what is on each regions cart release?

I have a feeling there really isn’t a complete database that tracks all released across all regions including the different revisions released. Another example would be the release of Mario Kart 8 + Booster Pack. The NA ESRB release includes a code for the DLC and JP apparently has one revision that has everything on cart but the last set of courses released and a later revision that includes all booster courses. If I didn’t already know that, being able to search before making a purchase and knowing to get the JP revision with everything on cart would be nice.

Tanooki | 5,113 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 So late to the game, but curious. I have Pokemon Scarlet, and I've noticed even only getting to the first (outdoor style kiosko) pokemart/care center combo the world is utterly vast. Can you really go off the rails and walk a big bit of the area as long as you don't go too deep into the weeds and get whacked? I take it the game still has those annoying badge locks so it would be a problem going way out as well if you end up having moody pokemon too? Is there a good approach if you don't want to catch 'em all but want to try and enjoy the story casually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,113 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 They're a legit business, and it seems like they want to undercut scalpers online by setting an inciting price they can still make a little something from it. As stingy as SquareEnix is in doing discounts, that's probably as heavy a one you'll see on that collection for awhile if you're cool having it on Switch vs some mobile format already on you all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,113 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If I didn't have a cheapo copy of MK8D that I came across early this year I'd grab that. Never was a big fan, but having all that content on the card is huge. And if it weren't for it being on my mobile I'd be all over that $50 FF package as well on Switch as that's really a stunning little deal there. I think in the end I paid maybe that or +5 with the discounts Square ran like once a year for their stuff when I grabbed it for my phone. I got it on there vs steam because of convenience factor of it just being on me at all times which has allowed me moments to crack away at one of those games or another for an hour or something when I can.

RegularGuyGamer | 2,042 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) @RH from what I understand, it's actually a legit print of the game. Play Asia has the other releases. This one is an ESRB rating with the world cart? Or something. I was relying on a reddit thread and getting any substantial information out of them is like blood from a stone. @Tanooki I'm tempted to sell my regular cart and just go with this edition and call it a day. People are still putting up $35 locally for Mario kart 8 CIB. I really wish it was a couple $$ cheaper to justify the upgrade.

Fleck586 | 328 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Nintendo Soup is legit. I've bought several things from them over the Switch lifespan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,206 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 So, just so I'm clear, is Nintendo Soup exclusively selling this, or should it pop up on any Nintendo Shop for sale? I ask because, again... it seems odd that some random online store would some how work out the rights and ability to print copies of a Nintendo, First Party Title exclusively with DLC?! Has anything else like this happened? ...Like A Breath of the Wild with DLC release?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
