Found myself a copy of the Switch version of Raidou SO IT'S ALL ON THE CART.
The whole switch 2 key-card thing is absolute bullshit. Glad it's luckily all on the Switch 1 cart. What's next for Nintendo, must people start asking Nintendo permission every time they want to turn on their console and play a game

Nintendo: You don't ask permission???

In case you missed out on pre-ordering Fear Effect from LRG, it looks like VGP will be carrying it.

So, dumb question: Does VGP have any affiliation with LRG?

Yes, they tend to get overstock and sell whatever LRG wasn't able to.
VGP have been fairly successful with more and more US gamers getting their business over the last few years

Finished NDS version in January. Great game and one of the best adventure titles I've ever beaten.A rather quiet release.

I wanted the PS5 Deluxe Edition from Red Art, but it's sold out unfortunately. PS4 and PC versions still available, but I want the PS5 version.

I have bought quite a few games from VGP. I just wasn't sure what their relationship with LRG is. Thank you!

Looks like new releases are only real physical on Playstation.

Switch 2 just doesn't appeal to me because of this. Box covers are also ugly because of those game download disclaimers.
Cronos and OT0 both on my wishlist and for PS5.

I hope for a Kingdom Come 1 physical for PS5, I believe there was a rumor about a PS5 port.

Sad how small my PS5 physical collection is. Due to so many games being crossgen I always go for the PS4 version instead if it gets a free PS5 update.
Demons Souls, Stellar Blade, System Shock remake. I still need to get astrobot.

Same here, just about 30 games, but only because I was late to the party until I got a PS5 Pro. I'm planning to build a decent PS5 collection for the next few years.

I read that too, just as I was jerking my way through 30 last year. But yeah, great game! Would definitely benefit from an upgrade.

It should work in the PS5. I have an Xbox One version and works on my XSX

According to the rumor, the native PS5 version should be 4k/60fps, PS4 Pro version is 1440p/30fps.

Wow. Is this an exclusive?
Nintendo really missed the boat on this. Initially I foolishly thought only a few annoying releases would be game key card and shrugged. Now it's quite obvious that this is the new "low storage" tier of physical card from them.
May have ruined my Switch 2 purchase as anything other than a first party Nintendo device.
Nintendo, however, likely won't care. I predict a large amount of physical release game key cards will be sold in the holiday season from uninformed buyers which will crush any pushback to the custom we might muster.

Finally picked this up as it hit a nice price point. Hope to get into it at some point over the next 15 years.

Here's the box art for the Oblivion Remastered physical release on PS5. PlayAsia just opened pre-orders for the Asian SKU, and I think NA and European retailers will be launching their pre-orders soon too.

Like everything else scummy, there are lagging effects that people won't realize at first. People typically have an internet connection and expect day 1 patches, so they won't notice it needs to download the full game. Just wait until there is a service outage or extremely slow performance on Christmas or something.
I'm with you though, it might actually be worse than Switch 1 in terms of 3rd party support. I'll still buy indies and first party full on cart, but I am actively distancing myself from the platform already and it's only been out a couple months. I was waiting for P3 Reload to release full on cart, but now I'm considering just grabbing a cheap PS5 copy instead. NSW2 has so much potential and it's being completely squandered.

I'll pass on it, the game will most likely not even be on the discHere's the box art for the Oblivion Remastered physical release on PS5. PlayAsia just opened pre-orders for the Asian SKU, and I think NA and European retailers will be launching their pre-orders soon too.

I've been slowly picking up the Trails games on PlayStation. Right now I just need Azure and Daybreak. Azure is kinda expensive and I almost pulled the trigger on eBay on a copy and saw VGP is doing a reprint.

Small heads-up: there's a new physical edition of Expedition 33 exclusive to Amazon that just went up for pre-order for $59.99.
Edit: Not sure if this new Mirror Edition will be available through other Amazon stores outside the US, but if you're interested in getting this one, here's the listing.
