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.

Absolutely. Great website to buy games not released in the US. Reliable shipping. And i dont ever remember triggering a fraud/decline to my credit card. I have bought about a dozen things from them. A dozen separate transactions

This is the good Paper Mario.

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"

Um is this true? Can anyone comment

This is correct. The game is region free, but the DLC is not

If you're talking about Paper Mario, you're wrong. If you're talking about Luigi's Mansion 2, you're correct. Paper Mario is a remake. A remaster would just be bringing the resolution and textures up a little. Remakes, like this, get actual graphical upgrades and don't reuse the old assets. Just because a game is scene for scene the same, doesn't make it a remaster. Changing story elements is a reimagining, which is more like what Final Fantasy 7 is.

Here's a comparison video of the differences. This is a remake. https://youtu.be/BTFhwflQVY0?si=Pdbtie2xGziW_sxL

Quote from RockPasta

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)

As long as the version of the game is the same across regions, you can claim the gold coins on your local account as opposed to needing a Japanese account. Most first party Nintendo titles are, though there are exceptions like Splatoon 2, which had regional differences.

One way to tell is to compare the supported languages between different versions of the game. If they match, it's likely the same version! (I checked for both of these games & they do indeed match!)

And remember: you can change the game's language by changing your system language.

As far as resale value goes, keep in mind that you likely won't be able to trade it in at most used game stores... but you are saving quite a bit, especially if you can bundle 3+ games together to qualify for free shipping.
