A remake of an old game going $60? Oh Nintendo...
They probably figure that with the amount of people who pirate their old games, they need to make it up somehow.

Yeah, they've been around for a long time and I have ordered from them several times before in the past.

Last year they had similar discounts Super Mario RPG, Star Ocean R, and a few other releases https://slickdeals.net/f/16756424-play-asia-nintendo-switch-game-pre-orders-43?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

Just the one thing to be aware of is that if you do multiple preorders in a single order, they won't ship each title as it becomes available, they'll ship everything together in one package when the final game is released.
If the art on the Box in Japanese or is it in English and when I start up the game is it in Japanese and I have to switch to English or does it give me options just curious cuz I really want to buy a couple of games for this price ASAP I appreciate your feedback

I bought the multi-language edition of Super Mario RPG from play-asia last year and it started up in English. The text on the back of the box is in Japanese.

That's my understanding but I'd love to know if that isn't the case. DLC is region locked but I'd be surprised if there was any DLC released for this game
I have a UK versions of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the USA and was able to download and use the booster course expansion dlc fine on the USA console.

You're welcome to go buy a used copy for at least as much, if not more.
This gives people who've never experienced the game a way to play it legit.

Just remember everyone that you will be locked out of any dlc or multiplayer since those are region locked. uSA and European have cross compatibility, Japan and asia do not

What's the difference between this version and one from the US?

Is it just the cover art having Japanese on it?
Previous games I bought had the same cover art. Only noticeable difference was the E rating was different on the non US release boxes.

Is it even likely that this game will have DLC or multiplayer for this to matter?

This isn't true. The switch is region free. China is the only place with weird restrictions.

There's no actual difference? Resale value is not something you can measure at preorder time.

But the key difference will be the paper insert inside the shrinkwrap. A decent print job and your own shrink wrapper… none the wiser.


The only downside to outside region games is not being able to claim Nintendo gold coins for them as far as I can tell. And even then, that might be for games that just don't exist in region (Baten Kaitos physical release, for instance)

Hope it was a proper remake. But now I see why they focused on shutting down emulation when that easily did HD on PC. Stopping emulation, in a way, prevents them from proper efforts in the sense of adding something more to the game to one-up old softwares rather than just saying the graphics "improved". For those who don't know, that was a major problem where developers were just throwing their IP into compilers or SDK without QC, leaving lots of bugs (thus patches or updates). Emulation makes the goal higher so what better way than to remove the game preservation to avoid a comparison. I will judge and hope that these HD remakes are more than just improved graphics, as there wasn't much to that except hardware revision. Hope they added a lot more to the original to vary. Emulation showed that updated graphics wasn't too much work unless they actually do new work. But it looked fantastic on PC when I saw a clip of the emulation. So I'm surprised at the focus on
"Improved" graphics as a selling point, making me confirm that sometimes they take the easy route or purposely withhold back with parameters on consoles for either marketing or standardization purposes that isn't all necessary (not just Nintendo but other companies too). This is a surprise.

"A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and updated features ... has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy"
