Good price point, No, naysayers, this should not be $9.99. don't be dumb.

The downside, for me that this, is no where good as The Thousands Year Door for GameCube. Heck this game get no experience points AND the battle against Goombas and his compadres are redundant and a waste of time. I didn't like it after playing it after 5 hours so I sold it for $35 after initial release. I know I know, this just my opinion and I don't expect everyone to believe me or have the same inputs as mine. since nobody has a 2 cents on this game, i might as well go first....

Don't get me wrong. I thought this game is witty and interesting and I did wanted to be open mind but the inevitable not so easy to avoid or skip the battle system was definitely a deal breaker to me.

One warning: This isn't one of the popular Mario platform games nor a modern one like Sunshine, Oddysey and such so don't expect to hold it value over time. Im looking at you, gamers with giant backlog of gaming library.
The combat parts grew tiring, but the game as a whole was super entertaining IMO. I paid full price and didn't regret it.

Am I the only one annoyed that physical games are always $10-20 cheaper than digital?
Yes Smilie

Digital is definitely more convenient, so I think it's generally convenience vs. resale potential. Usually whichever is cheaper wins out, but for first party games I prefer physical.

Exactly, Trade in value on all first party is $27 at Gamespot so a $30 game only costs $3. That same game digital never goes less than $42 and even that's rare and there is no resale potential. Not having to swap the cartridges for the digital convenience is pricy. Only Nintendo mind you as all the other publishers have extremely good sales on their digital games.

$30 was my entry point for this one. I doubt it will be cheaper on BF, maybe $25-27, so I decided to go for it now.

Nice, decided not to get this game when it was around $30 months ago at GameFly. Somewhat regretted that decision since then. Glad I got a second chance to get it at this price. 🤠

Press plus when the game is highlighted. A menu should come up, I think it is the last option.

This is the most literal form of turn based combat ever made in a video game.

The wave battles got repetitive, but I loved this game. It was my first in the paper Mario series. Finished it with my 7 year old son. He cried and cried when
Your omission doesn't really make this any less of a spoiler.

I can't stand freaking spoilers in pretty much any game/movie deal that's posted on here.

Just got denied a price match at bestbuy because the price was to low for them to match.

Too low to match? What does this even mean? Other people were successful.

I actually prefer this since I have a few kids with switches and they can just share the cartridges versus having to deal with buying the digital version a few times.
You can actually purchase one digital copy and share with two Nintendo switch consoles pretty easily. If you want me info just let me know and I will send you a guide how to set it up Wink We are a 3+ switch household and do this pretty effectively Wink

Good question I was asking the same thing to the bestbuy manager.
