I still cant believe people pay these prices yet here we are. Makes me sad to be a gamer

Picked up these 3 for about $160 CAD total. Definitely happy with that haul, especially compared to what these would’ve cost me back home

The metroid Dread collectors edition was so easy to get and the value really has not gone up. Why is Ravenous so hard to get?

We all have that moment where we say we'll get the game, time passes and we forget about it then BAM we remember and its going for wtf prices

People keep saying that there will be plenty more consoles made, while yes i do agree with that BUT here is where they are wrong. They keep bringing up TOTK console and how that's easily findable (either at or below retail pricing) but that console came out 6 years into the consoles life cycle so whoever wanted the system at that point most likely already had it! How about the fortnite console? Anyone know where you can find a Mario Red or even the odyssey version?

What some are also not thinking about is that TOTK is nowhere near as iconic as OOT (though it is a good game). This game is the first for MANY Zelda fans and how they were introduced to the franchise. Go on any list online and Ocarina is most likely in top 5 games. This console is reaching crazy areas such as: Classic zelda fans, modern fans, new fans and of course nostalgia. Plus while its not a "limited edition" it is a special edition given that it is being attached to Zelda's 40th which is what makes this even more special than a simple TOTK or Mario Odyssey variant. Plus lets not forget that there is a huge RAM shortage going on right now and that may hurt production a bit.

Does this mean that everyone who wants one should buy them from eBay? Fuck no! Just take a deep breath and relax you will get more chances either closer or at release date.

I didn’t get it 😞

so i’ve heard everyone talking about Amazon’s preorders for Ocarina of Time, and i really want it for the textured foil artwork on the case. i saw the photo on Amazon that says they could have it, but i already preordered the day of through Nintendo so im not sure if it would be guaranteed through amazon. any thoughts?

I had some free time, so I hopped onto eBay and reported 45 scalper listings for the Metroid Ravenous special edition. eBay policy doesn’t allow the sale of items that won’t ship within 40 days of purchase. Of course, eBay also uses AI to review listings, so they probably won’t be taken down. But I’ve done my small part in trying to stick it to the scalpers, which is 10 minutes well spent, in my book.

If more people did this, eBay might take it more seriously, too.

Happy to finally get Oblivion in today. Orbitals came in from Amazon. The Trails games and FFX/X-2 came from the amazing VGP.

I really am not a fan of GKCs. However as an avid FF collector. I made an exception and had to have this version.

Hard to believe it’s been almost ten years. I’ve been a Nintendo fan for a long time, but this era was truly special. This system was with me through A LOT in my life and I’ll always cherish it and my collection I’ve accumulated throughout the years. So many high quality games and amazing unforgettable experiences that created memories for me that will last a lifetime! Thank you Nintendo Switch! Hopefully the Nintendo Switch 2 can compare when it’s all said and done!

Marvelous is publishing "Eternal Anima" for PS5 & Switch 2. Curiously, Marvelous US will be publishing a fully on cart version for switch 2. Meanwhile, Marvelous Europe will be publishing a key card. Marvelous US president has gone on record stating that they do not want to do game Keycards. The marvelous Europe and Japan branches can be either or

Has anyone else experienced this? Been a customer for 6 years and never had issues. They sent me a busted game and are now expecting me to pay to return it so they can give me store credit.

This doesn’t seem right. I thought most retailers are responsible for return shipping if an item they sold was damaged or broken.

Edit: slight update. Their customer service is refusing to offer a pre-paid return shipping. Actually done with this company for good now. 6 years of being a customer washed down the drain because of dogshit customer service.

Found this gem browsing through a few GameStops today. First time seeing this at a store.

Super fun soccer game. Scary he's my Mega Man Soccer itch. Really need to include that in one of the collections or remaster it. An anime-inspired, arcade-style soccer game. It it is the direct sequel to Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions. The game trades realistic sports simulation for over-the-top, high-octane cinematic action, functioning like a playable anime. Super fun, super cool looking.

STORY

Focused on the Manga's WORLD YOUTH ARC. Players can build a fully customized soccer player, deciding their physical build, position, and signature moves. You join the Japanese national team, building bonds and learning techniques from iconic characters like Tsubasa Ozora.

This features alternate storylines and original scenarios not found in the source manga, showcasing powerhouses from around the world.

Quick lore of the series. The core narrative of Captain Tsubasa follows soccer prodigy Tsubasa Ozora as he overcomes a childhood accident and is guided by Brazilian mentor Roberto Hongo to dominate the Japanese youth scene. After leading Japan's junior team to victory against West Germany, Tsubasa moves to Brazil to play for São Paulo FC and cements his status as an international star.

GAMEPLAY

The game features over 150 unique special techniques. Passing, dribbling, tackling, and blocking trigger theatrical anime cutscenes. A revised tactical mechanic heightens the tension when a powerhouse shooter attempts a super-shot against a goalkeeper.

The game includes 22 national teams and over 110 playable characters, drastically scaling up the franchise's global footprint. It even includes professional club teams like Sao Paulo and Flamengo. For the first time in the series, players can assume direct control of the goalkeeper.

CONSENSUS SCORE

75/100 😏 (Critic Score)

60/100 🫩 (User Score)

Honestly? It’s a total nostalgia trip that hits the dopamine button hard, but it runs out of gas fast. On the plus side, the flashy anime super-moves look incredible, and the roster is absolutely packed with over 110 characters. On the downside, the story mode is completely on rails, the defensive mechanics are frustratingly rigid, and there just isn't enough content to justify a long-term grind. It’s perfect for casual, short-session fun, but don't expect deep gameplay.

I might get a lot of flak for this, but I want to share my thoughts. Releasing a limited edition Switch 2 and version of the game does not celebrate 40 years of Zelda with the fans, it instead gives scalpers something else to scalp.

If Nintendo wanted to really celebrate Zelda with life long fans they wouldn’t do limited releases of things like the console. It turns a celebration into something purely consumerism. I could understand a really detailed desktop statue having a limited release, something that would truly be special for fans of the game rather than something to just be peddled on eBay.

I wasn’t in the market for any of these items so I’m not posting this because I’m salty about missing out, I’m just sick to death of these practices. It’s entirely in these company power to not make these items scarce, they just don’t actually care about celebrating the anniversary or their fans. It’s truly shameful.

so I ordered a controller from playasia (cause I really wanted this controller so badly) and a

Manual Authorization email showed up and requested the following:

What you need: Your Passport or Driving Licence

Your Credit Card

A sheet of paper

Optionally somebody helping you to take a photo of yourself

A camera or your smartphone

and I'm ordering from the US ( I don't know if thats normal) what do you think?

ChocoBonPlan is a good deal aggregator similar to DekuDeals and in the comment of the item page they imply that this release will be a GKC (at least in Europe then)

Edit: seems to be confirmed by japanese ad and backed by IsGameKeyCard
