The Amazon Video problem with Pirates is some sort of thing with Disney. You can't pre order any new Disney movies right now and have not been able to for at least 6 months. I can only assume Disney pulled their videos from the digital store and Amazon decided to retaliate by not having the physical copy on their site. One of the two is going to have to cave.
Amazon pisses me off so bad now. In canada we got the awesome 20% off, 2 week grace period, etc, all the goodies you guys have had last year. I signed up for prime, it was smooth sailing. Always getting the day 1 releases for 20% off. Now it's 10% off, I almost never get my games on release, you can't buy them launch day for the discount, it has to be a pre-order, no more special editions, and some games just don't have discounts, and it's not a tiny amount, it's a significant amount. They didn't EVEN TELL ANYONE that they were changing this trash, and in Canada there is no Bestbuy gamers club unlimited, so the only way to get pre-order savings is Amazon.
I'm so tired of them giving me delayed orders and changing their service that I've paid for. How did they go so bad so quickly? I remember pre-ordering FF15 almost a YEAR in advance to make sure I had a copy on launch day. Took them 2 weeks to send it and I had "release day shipping". I talked to them like 8 times and I had to explain to them on the phone what pre-orders meant it seems. Don't have a thing called a pre-order if you won't honour it.
Like, eat shit?
When Kyle says "I wonder Brad" it sounded like WonderBread.
reading a magazine at the beginning of a podcast is so awkward
Surely install base is a partial reason for the 1%, it will always be low since there is a lot more Ps4 and Xbox, what would be a more telling stat is attach rate of Fifa 18 to Switch console sales.
Damiani really talks shit
Chrono trigger has been released on Virtual Console Wii, iOS and Android since the DS version was released.
Here's a quick list of the differences between the SNES and Famicom classic, for the curious:
Famicom Classic:
* Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
* Ganbare Goemon (Legend of the Mystical Ninja)
* Panel de Pon (Tetris Attack)
* Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
* Super Soccer
SNES Classic:
* Earthbound
* Super Castlevania IV
* Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
* Super Punch Out
* Kirby's Dream Course
Personally, I think we got the better selection just for Earthbound and Super Castlevania IV.
We need a detailed story time of this links awakening event
As far as i heard Fifa 18 on switch is content-wise more like a visually downscaled Fifa17.
EA and there damn excuses….thats all
LGS > than any other way to purchase video game stuff.
