Let's Get Physical (Physical)

Another wish granted, the fantastic Dave the diver is getting a switch physical & it's gonna have extra content over the digital release. Slowly my digital to physical dream list is getting loads of titles ticked off.

Amazon japan has preorders open for dave the diver an easy purchase at £27

How random. I just came across a review of T3K for Nuon and a feature on Nuon in an old issue of Edge today. Hadn’t even heard of the Nuon until recently.

It’s cool they’re doing the reprint but the hardware and especially pads are so hard to source.

Pacific Drive turned up, a nice physical with art cards, a road log, reversible cover, game works off the disk (though there is patches). Definitely worth getting over the Digital.

Monster Hunter Stories Collection is coming in a couple of months and it's got some weird options to choose from that are mostly digital, even in Japan - here's the English language page breaking it down. There does seem to be a physical version for PS4 in the west, but it's still not quite up for order, and the page that's crept up on Amazon's Italian page seems to suggest the second game is still only available through a download code...

Download code, what an awesome physical edition

Speaking of paper I recently got hold of Mega Man collection 1 and 2 on switch, the first 5 games are on a cart the second set of games are on a bit of paper, talk about a lazy way to do a collection. It got sent back to Amazon as someone had nicked the cartridge out of my copy of it, which was a blessing really as I didn't want to keep it as it wasn't really a copy of all the Megaman games on a cart like it was advertised as.

It’s made worse by the fact that in the Japanese version they put all of them on the cart, even in 2024 companies still pulling this crap and wonder why people still import. Sadly jpn version is stupidly priced now £200-300+

The Japanese version is the same as the Western version: Rockman Collection Vol. 1 on the cart and Vol. 2 as a download.

But it definitely is an absolutely crappy practice.

Wow! Didn't even know about that box set. Wasn't even an e-Capcom exclusive, it was a standard LE!!

Shocking stuff from Capcom.
