hmmm.. how can I say no!?

I wonder if there will be a physical version?

Back in the early 2000s I would have thought you were freaking CRAZY if you had told me most of my favorite PC games will one day be available on a Nintendo handheld as enhanced versions, sequels, and spiritual successors.

It's like
Diablo3 & torchlight 2 as hack and slash games
Baldurs gate 1/2 and this game as good old infinity engine games (and divinity 2??)
Northgard as a fix for warcraft 3 ...?

45 bloody pounds!? Sod off.

I mean it's a good game and I'm sure there was a decent amount of effort put into the port, but it is still a port Of a game that's been out for years on every other major platform.

Shame, I'd have loved to have replayed this in bed using handheld mode, but that price is just taking the piss.

I just started the third Act right now having also completed White March 1 & 2 … this game is huge with a great amount of content. Totally worth the price of admission for the amount of hours you'll get playing this.

As long as nintendo fans keep enjoying getting ripped off its going to continue to happen. Last night I saw resident evil 4 on the eshop on sale for 26$ CAD (19.76 USD).. its the most bare mimimum port of an almost 15 year old game....you can't make this shit up

But on the other side how else do you show support for 3rd party games on a nintendo console?

€49.99

I was excited up until this part. That price can just fuck the right off!

Interesting might pick this up.

 

[Stilton Disco]

At least on the UK store it's got a 20% off preorder discount, making it £35.99.

Still far too much, but better, and CDKeys are selling £30 eshop cards for £27 right now, so get a couple of them and it'd be effectively £32.40.

That's still £12.40 more than I think is the most they should have charged for it, and twice what I think its actually worth, but if you're going to buy it, that's probably the best price you'll be paying in the next year...

oh mannnnn

been waiting to ge tthis on ps4, and now it hits switch?! i feel like having it portable is a no brainer now

 

[Soltype]

This is both games?

 

[ClanOfNone]

This is both games?

Nope, just the first with both expansions. I'll pick it up on a heavy discount as I own it on pc already, but wouldn't mind a portable version. If you've never played it before, it's a great game with a TON of content. Well worth the price of admission, but you can find it for a lot cheaper on a Steam sale if you've got a pc.

Publishers must love Nintendo Switch ports. Another chance to charge full price for old games.
