Rev Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 https://www.destructoid.com/cave-story-comes-to-nintendo-switch-this-june-429223.phtml Coming in June. Will be getting for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) i'm mixed on it. I don't really need it, but if they did something special I'd consider it, and also it's just $30 so it would encourage more people to go physical I would hope since Nicalis is a smaller indie developer as it is. My problem is I have the original full 3D sleeve release of Cave Story for 3DS still and it's fantastic. Also, if you have PRIME that knock is down to $24 (20% off) which isn't bad at all either.

Noah98 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It was worth the $24 to get a physical copy. I already have it on Steam, but this version has a few extras. Hopefully it will have a full color nes style instruction manual like Binding of Isaac. I figure buying these releases sends the message that we want physical versions as an option for future games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That I do entirely agree with. I'm buying up anything Switch related I care to play that comes in non-digital format and have taken it to the point of even importing I Am Setuna to get a physical release of it. Showing the demand for this stuff will help bring more to market in general and specifically encourage small developers to get with a little publisher or even Nintendo to shovel their goods that way too which is a win for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If I see it in the stores in June I'll probably pick up a copy myself. Not sure if I'd bother with a digital copy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I wouldn't, not a fan of DRM digital but also I've got the 3DS game for real already so it would just be a stupid sacrifice of control and ownership rights for a newer release of the same game more or less.

Mord Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Picked up a copy of Cave Story+ today. Looking at the shrinkwrap on the game I highly suspect they resealed the damned thing. Yay gamestop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Screw with them, take it back and request a new one, not a resealed new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Screw with them, take it back and request a new one, not a resealed new one. I've heard this before. Maybe someone can verify. You could theoretically buy a sealed from gamestop. And while still at the cash register, ask to trade it in, and they would have to open it to even accept your trade.

Tanooki Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 If you took a sealed game to trade in at gamestop, they would have to open it up to sell it, and would just give you the used value because you didn't buy it from them. What I was talking about is how they'll reseal used games they've personally used and sell them as new, just as they will take one copy from a store to let employees try them out to learn stuff to help customers, and then have the balls to sell it new to me and argue it's new -- despite the booklet/box usually put on display so it's all fingered up and the game obviously was tested out -- yet somehow to those crooks, that's new. Why no one has ever called them out on their crap legally is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay gamestop. In this case, probably not. Because of the extra materials in the launch copies (manual and CD), they used crappy looking shrinkwrap at the factory. I have a launch copy from Best Buy and saw numerous copies on launch day with the same crappy wrap at several other retailers.

Yeah I noticed that yesterday when I was out walking around and saw the same packaging at Best Buy myself. Can't say I was expecting a CD in that packaging... first time I've seen a mini-cd included with a game. Oh well, nice to see at least they have a booklet. Those things have gone nearly extinct as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was of the cheap-wrap variety, so it likely came from the factory like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I've seen it a few times, the last time was Metal Slug 7 on the Nintendo DS. They packed it in next to the manual in the flap inside of a little windowed paper sleeve. They did that to throw some promo/demo stuff on there along with the SNK art for the game.

KeeperofLindblum Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My local Gamestop has multiple copies of this, so I think I'll pick one up. Such a nice physical copy with all the extras~Never been able to beat the game for the TRUE ending or however you want to label it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
