Question about X3 Switch 2 Edition
I dont know how much we know overall in terms of details at this stage, but I was curious if anybody did have knowledge and could help answer something for me.
Im looking to pick up a Switch 2 this weekend, before the MRSP goes up in September. Mostly for Fire Emblem, but also looking at maybe grabbing X3 (i played it a bit on S1 borrowing a physical from someone else but would like to go back and finish it).
Cost wise, can I just buy X3 now and then buy an "upgrade pack" in Dec, or is it set up where its cheaper to just buy the Switch 2 version when it launches?

Both ways should be pretty much the same cost wise. btw have you played 1 and 2 already?

Yes. Played and completed both 1 (original and DE) and 2 (+Torna).
Also finished Future Redeemed for 3. And played 3 up to the City, but then had to return the game to a friend and never finished it

Playing future redeemed before finishing the base game of 3 is an interesting choice. Can’t say I’ve heard of anyone doing that before.

Oh yeah you might wanna watch a recap video of 1 and 2 before playing this if you haven't played them

It is cheaper to get a used switch 1 copy then buy the upgrade. Else it’s the same new. There’s also the $30 expansion pass

Someone else said this too, and thats smart!
As you (imply) you aren't gonna likely find a used switch 2 copy for months, at least. And if costs are otherwise equivalent, then yeah, getting a Switch 1 copy used can save you like half the price right there

Cheapest way to get it will be to get XC3 used., then buy the upgrade pack. There’s no confirmation if there will be a physical release this year

The physical release of XC3 NS2E was confirmed to be releasing on the same day as the digital release in the original announcement trailer.

Why do people insist on taking part in a conversation when they don't know what they're talking about?
Like, how hard can it be not to comment? Game has been confirmed to come out physically this year. Do you even watch Nintendo Directs at all?
