Happy Starfield release day to all PlayStation players! :/

Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No

Flawless experience for both the Switch 2 and Switch 1 versions, which are both playable from the game's main menu.

With the smaller cart size now in circulation, there seems to be a rise in physical Switch 2 games, finally. Big corpos still cheap out and do code-in-a-box, but more and more AA/indies understand the value a proper physical release brings. Only took us a year after launch. XD

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Series X & One

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No*

Xbox One build on disc. A few minor performance hiccups and some dialogue lines sound slowed down. No major issues, though.

GONE TOMORROW! LAST CHANCE for the Red Art Games Spring Sale: www.redartgames.com/...

Corpos still opting for code-in-a-box despite game-key cards being an option is a tell! Precisely why you shouldn't give in to lowering standards. The industry won't change course, if you accept them giving you less and less.

(OG pic seen at @IsGameKeyCard on X)

Or maybe you do some research before commenting the next time. Then you would have found out that those models need the same online check again the moment you update the firmware. Which will basically happen to all of them as newer games require newer firmware.

Is this what the young people call "ratioed"?

Cronos: The New Dawn PS5
(Japanese CERO release)

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No

Comes with updated build 1.007.000 which irons out most of the flaws of the almost unplayable western release. Available here at Playasia: www.play-asia.com/cr...

Gotta spread the word from this reddit for collectors. Watch out for this new type of faked Nintendo carts.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Switch
(played via Switch 2 BC)

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? No*

Switch 2's extra power can't masquerade the performance issues and crashes, sadly. Plus, you will encounter bugs like NPCs T-posing and more as well.

Life is Strange: Reunion PS5

Does it play offline? Yes

Does it require a download? Yes*

This build gives physical releases a bad name. Bugs, missing models, soft-locks, performance issues, flawed subtitles, it's all there. You can beat it, but the lack of polish is major.

Absolute Easter Madness at VGP. Sales from PQube, ININ, Funbox and more. Plus, Cult of the Lamb: Definitive Edition with all DLC on disc/card is up for pre-order. Check it out here (ref link): videogamesplus.ca/do...

Resident Evil Requiem sold 202k physical versions in Japan alone. In just 5 weeks. Yet there are still people that claim nobody buys discs anymore. Must have been a single super rich guy, then.
