Been waiting for this Limited Run Best Buy version for forever. Was not sure if Best Buy had even gone forward with their order since it had been so long.

The Best Buy - Limited Run Version - has an Alternate Cover than the Version initially sold (sold out) by Limited Run themselves. The Best Buy version is otherwise the same but does not include the Limited Run trading card (only available if you bought the game through Limited Run.

One of the few games that would actually make me consider double dipping to get a physical version. Loved this one.

All time low for digital was $15.74. I like physical, but Limited Run's price gouging sucks.

Reminder this has been available on PC before for single digit pricing.


Also as much as it wants to be paper mario 2.1 its really just... not as good as thousand year door.

Not a good game. Very much overhyped on the internet. So glad it came to Game Pass to save me a purchase. People say its as good as Paper Mario, it is not even close. Try it on GP if it is still on there if you have not played it before. $40 seems like an insane price to pay for this unless you are a collector.

Great game and nice to see a full release, but keep in mind most physical Switch games have nothing inside the case except the tiny cartridge of the game itself. No manual, no insert…nothing.

I was going to buy this and I am a big fan of the earlier paper Marios. Just wondering what specifically you didn't like?

I've enjoyed the paper Mario series (the origami king included) and I really enjoyed this game. Im not saying buy it you will love it, that's up to you. I'd go watch some videos and see what you think. I think it might be more of an issue with the price and the practice of limited releases and their price. If you want the game there is no denying digital is much cheaper on the switch and even more so on other systems. So unless you just want a physical, (like I did) digital is the better option. I am in no way a collector, I just prefer physical for the games I really like. To me, Stardew valley is another example. I bought it physical and believe it is total worth it for me since I already had 300 hours in it already. Talk about value, 30 for 300hrs of entertainment (I got it on sale for $30). While I'd prefer Bug Fables to be a bit cheaper for the physical (29-34) I know I've gotten my value out of this $40 price tag and will only have more hours in the game.

I get they need to profit, but I think most of the time they ask for way too much for their games. I think $15 more max than the digital release is reasonable.

Every switch game I've pre-ordered from them has been $30-$40. Bug Fables was $40, same as this release. I think that's completely reasonable. They can't control the scalper market after the fact.

I guess this is one of the more reasonable ones now that I look at the eShop price. The ones I notice most though are games that are like $10-15 digital and they sell the physical copy for $60.

Another thing I hated was No More Heros. They released both games separately for $35 separate. Then you have the Asian import copy for $40. Even with shipping and important fees it's still cheaper than buying it from Limited Run.

Again, I'm not trying to hate on them. I think they provide a neat service. Just wish they were a bit more reasonable with their pricing. However I guess it does seem like that's happening more often now as with this game.
