Cool cover art. Assuming this is some reproduction Aes cart. Don't understand why this game is getting so much buzz all of a sudden.

Not many people cared for this game well after it's release. IMO it was a let down. The art style was cool but everything else sucked. Music is boring, backgrounds are bland. Game was also broken as fuck.

Now the Capcom Vs Snk games are a whole different animal. Much better.

It's the switch collectors edition.
Just another gooberific thing to spend my rapidly deflating $ on.

I looked at a switch cart for the first time the other day, I can't believe how cheaply made they are.

Ps: a lot of them don't even have the full game on because they skimp on the storage size, so enjoy your physical games in a decade I guess

Yeah, the snap lock dwarfs the switch case.
All the extras are sized to fit neatly in there tho so it kinda works out.

That hasn't really been my experience so far. The Switch is lacking very much internal storage memory, so usually the full game is on the card, and the updates are small and fast, so games launch quick. Almost reminds me of the tiny updates from the Xbox 360 days.

Enjoy those updates in a decade 🌈
I found a spreadsheet someone made that does have a list of games that have the complete game on the cartridge, as well as other info on the updates:


It looks like there aren't many examples of Switch games that don't have the complete working game on the cart, but they exist. So they seem to be few and far between.

I don't think I've ever connected my switch to the internet. Maybe when I first took it out of the box? That's what I like about it actually. Every time I try to play a game on playstation or xbox, I have to sit through an update. Every time I get a new game, I have to wait for it to download. Doesn't even matter if you buy the disc, it still downloads like a digital game. Wtf?

The switch is the last bastion of no BS in modern gaming. You take the little cart, stick it in the switch and it immediately boots up. I think it's sad that this is the exception to the rule now.

Are you sure it isn't auto-connecting to your wifi that you maybe saved during your initial setup? That's how every ridiculous device in our house works -- Setup the wifi and never think about it ever again. My 00's era wifi router would've buckled immediately under the number of devices we have connected these days.

Why must you turn this thread into a house of lies?

When you buy a new PS disc, and put it into the machine, you will wait a very long time for it to download onto a hard drive. Which is why it's pointless to buy physical PS games.

Furthermore, the vast majority of the time, publishers release the game incomplete, and an additional load of content for the game needs to be downloaded in an update. So the internet is necessary unless you want an unfinished game.

I realize that some switch games get small updates eventually, but it's nothing like psxbox. Out of the package, switch games are good to go.

If you read the fine print a lot of PS games flat out tell you you will probably need the latest update to play the game.
