I thought there would be 8 heroes, not 4 with two costumes. I was hoping to play as the one from DQVII. Though honestly he looks like a difficult character to play as anyway so I probably wouldn’t use him much.

No, it's only playable for free for a week. It's like when games have free play weekends on XBL & Steam.

For Mario Aces, that's about 5 days longer than you need for the single player. It's a good idea, though, because it'd be nice to try out multiplayer which is the game's biggest feature.

GET TO THE MONEY!!!!

if it's not priced insanely, I will grab it.
18+ year old games that can be had for about $5 each
plus a bit of cash for them taking the time to give em a spit polish.. $20

if it's $30 or less I'll pick it up. any more, I won't bother.

Grandia 2 is AU$29 on Steam, so I doubt it will be under AU$59 for both on the Switch.

Yes, a bit expensive for digital only.

Just wait for it to go on special.

meh, I'll have gotten sick of waiting and ripped it off WELL before it's a reasonable price. :olol: $30 IS A FAIR PRICE for a game that's at least 18 years old.

And since this is the Nintendo thread. I've cancelled my pre-order of Links awakening limited edition. I've promised myself to stop buying tat and only getting games, and paying $30 for a gameboy style case is just a little much. (Especially when the gameboy case, however awesome, won't even be the dimensions of a gameboy)

I'm gonna wait for Links awakening to go cheap after a year (especially since I've played it MANY, MANY TIMES before, and I only payed $64 for BOTW)

I wonder if it will have the original's impossibly floaty and stiff controls?
