Ye they said there was going to be more updates moving forward last summer and I believe theres been one on twitter. Lol just checked their website and release dates still says Q2 2020
I was just about to ask how long I should let the checkout confirmation screen do its three star dance before giving up. For now, I'll just leave the tab open and see what happens. Hasn't timed out yet, but it's bound to eventually...
Sweet as I was able to get an order in for two of them and received the order confirmation from Nintendo.
Damn I totally missed this. How long did it last?
I love physical however the reason I quit mostly is because games are never "Complete" anymore everything needs a patch to be functional and if that's the case what's the point of physical if its not the best version.
I’m still team physical on Nintendo because it’s easier to share games, saves on memory space, and has resale value.
That's part of why I quit. When I first got Spyro Reignited Trilogy for the PS4, it didn't even have the last two games on the disc, so it's like why even bother. If you're actually concerned about preservation then it's better to buy a big storage drive and store the complete game on there, rather than incomplete discs/cartridges which will be stuck as incomplete forever when the update servers are taken down
That and even physical they tend to go in sale whereas digital rarely ever does.
I am team digital because its a pain in the ass to open the cartridge slot on the OLED.
I never owned the original switch, was it easier to open? Every time I open my OLED cartridge slot I feel like I’m going to break it off.
It's easy to open on the original. I've never owned the OLED switch so I wouldn't know how different the cartridge slot is
It was a lot easier. The original I could just put my short finger nail in and pop it up without thinking twice about it. I need a butter knife in order to get it open on the OLED.
Same, except mostly only with their first-party/exclusive titles (which are the ones that tend to retain resale value). It helps that the space footprint is much smaller between the size of carts vs discs and the much smaller cases and a lot of those games only receiving minor patches as they ship more or less complete.
Really? Maybe this was true last gen, but pretty much every major Switch game I can think of has either big DLC expansions, or adopted the "release it now, finish it later" method with lots of free content updates
Doesn't matter what they are listed for, only matters what they've actually sold for. I'm seeing around $200 for cart only and only one CIB went for $400.
Just because someone listed it for that much doesn’t mean you can actually sell it for that much. Pricecharting which comes up with values based on games that actually sold puts that game at $500.
Price charting is not exactly a reliable source either note!
I can't recall if it had its own thread or not off hand but I do think it had popped up in the individual retail threads (walmart amazon target gamestop). You'd be better off checking warios twitter occasionally.Gosh darn it, next time there's a sale on the Switch console somebody please make a thread for it. I would've finally got me one.
If there was a thread, my bad...I didn't see it.
This is not true, sometimes they are a bit off but they are usually reliable. No different than how eBay will sometimes have outlier sold listings
I know this. I am a bit skeptical about that price myself. Still it caught my interest in selling the game since it just takes up space in my collection at this point. Like I said I am dealing with someone who is more knowledgeable about selling collectables than me. He will get a cut of the profits, but I am cool with that if he gets me a good sale price.
I was looking at a few price charting sites as well. On one price chart site I checked the listing they referenced as the "value" ($99) and it was for the PAL region version which is different than the NTSC version. It also did not have all the inserts and the box was in not so great shape. I would not take that price as a good indicator for what I have. Actually mine appears to be more complete than the one that is being listed for $4,500 lol. The guy basically says in the listing this is the only one on ebay so I guess he feels he can charge a premium or something?
I would say most of the price charting sites seemed a lot off from what I am seeing on ebay listings right now. They also did not have any data for this year for "sold" items. The most recent completed was November of last year.
You'll have to provide some examples. Like I said they are not perfect, particularly for more modern games that suddenly jump in value. But they are a good snapshot. To say they are wrong the "majority" of the time is simply untrue
I never said they were always wrong. I am sure they are good estimates for ebay? I don't really know myself since I have no frame of reference yet. I will know after I have sold a few games I guess. I am not planning to use ebay. I was just looking there and some price charts to get some idea what I should sell from my collection.
No, but you said they were wrong the majority of the time. Or the other guy did, but you said something similar:
Saying "most" of pricecharting's prices are "a lot off" is very inaccurate
I have read on Reddit that they are not all as bad. Mine is terrible though. I guess some lucky people it is normal.
