Game is what...15 hrs long? AND its a port of a WiiU game...AND it still costs $40. Not worth to me. Would rather just emulate at 4k internal resolution. Either that or go and buy The Wild At Heart which is a superior game if you ask me.

$40 for the digital version? Yeah no way. Maybe for physical, but only if you really wanted it.

Sounds about right. Still an enjoyable game. Reviews indicate there have been lots of gameplay improvements since the Wii U version.

Physical has always been cheaper for most games on most platforms which boggles my mind since digital should be cheaper. To add to that physical copies can be resold and digital can't be resold. Kind of sucks for folks who don't want to carry/insert cartridges so definitely a premium for that convenience.

Well, physical prices can adjust to the market because there are multiple ways to obtain them (new and used). Digital is controlled by one source and you can't find them "used" so I can understand why they stay higher.

The wild at heart is boring. Wouldn't even get it for $5. This game is fine. I'll just play it and then resell it to recoup the cost of entertainment.

I'm going to buy two and play with my son. I found this game a lot of fun has lots of RTS elements that are no longer popular in the mainstream.

** Edit

Turns out you can't play on different Switches, so only one license for me.

Just FIY, you can game share digital games with a secondary switch. So you could be buying one copy of games anyway if you plan on sharing with your son.

Yeah, I thought we could play with each other on our own screens but turns out that's wasn't added.

Pikmin is a pretty unique game series that's truly not for everyone. But I really enjoy it and thought this entry was great.

Having played both, TWAH is not a superior game in any way.

Im stating what I would rather do. Dont really care if it advocates for it or not lol. It DOES look amazing on Cemu at 4k internal resolution. Hehe. This is SD. A cesspool of referral links and shills sooooo suggesting alternatives only takes a jab at that Stick Out Tongue.

If people want to pirate let them. Personally I don't pirate anymore since it's to much of a hassle for me BUT i used to pirate a lot when i was younger and had no money to buy games or movies. But now i got a job and can pay for my stuff, just don't like over paying and have patience for price drops. Plus i actually like playing games on my switch. but it doesn't hurt my pockets if someone pirates a movie or game. People defending big companies always amuses me since these same companies will F**k you over bad if it was up to them. Just look at what DLC, micro transactions, and loot boxes did to the gaming industry.. and the cinema industry charging $20 to go see one movie in the theater COVID did us a favor in regards to the movie industry. Streaming a movie at home is definitely the future. I'm glad the cinema industry took the hit it did.
