Remember when we dreamed about getting 64gb carts?
But, nothing to worry guys. 32gb that come with switch can handle just fine. Also, since memories has becone so cheap since switch launch, it impossible for anyone to not have tons and tons of free memory in their current micro sd card. This is fine.

This is actually true, SD cards are dirt cheap now; 128GB costs less than £15 in the UK for example.
It's more of a case for the purists that want the entire game on the cart for the future.
So it requires a 16 GB download for a game that is 12 GB when purchased digitally? Yeah, I'm pressing X to doubt.
To be fair, Nintendo first party games are much less offensive in this department. They get some patches here and there. But usually nothing criminal.
Is that price gouging? It's the regular price for most new releases around here. Switch games cost the same.
I'm not personally from Australia so I don't know how it compares to the incomes there but from what I've read before, I think that it's a bit high. My guess is that a "fair" price would be around 60USD, which is 50 euros.
I saw the thread title was updated. I didn't see anything in the thread though.

I have no idea who changed it, seems the text is still there in the Nintendo page. Did Nintendo issue any additional info?
As far as I know, no. Hence I was wondering about it. Thanks for the update.

And now they changed it back lol.
Have no idea what's going on.
I'm thinking about buying the JP version just to see if I can get the English version early (aka once it's put on the store)
eShops in different regions do this weird thing where the game will change to match your main accounts region. For example, take Touhou Spell Bubble, game came out in Japan earlier this year, but once an English localized version got released (Asian version), my copy changed to it, about a week or so before the game even got announced in North America.
Basically I wonder if having the JP version will allow me to bypass the lock when the NA version gets put up for preload (assuming it does)

Very glad there's a Steam version this time; I'm just going to get it there to show support for Persona on PC. Sucks if that news is really true for Switch though, especially since the Japanese version was all on the cart.
It's happening for virtually all games all the time. It's up to the platform holders to enforce that it also happens to the few that are now released in a broken state. They shouldn't allow broken games to be released on their platform, it's as simple as that.
People can run from the digital age all they want but we are heading in the direction of games needing downloads and updates to work properly. No one is going to refuse a game on their platform because some of it needs a download lol. Especially not Nintendo who has thee most expensive physical media.
That's a really great argument for the "digital future" lol. Digital games are shit so it doesn't matter if physical games are shit too. Wow!
It's not an argument for or against. It's stating the reality that games requiring partial downloads is not going away. Especially on a system where thr media is expensive and size limited.
Saying they should ban the practice just lead to getting less games.
It does make Preservation/offline play after the Switch servers are down harder.
Every game is pretty much going to suffer from this. How many games are released these days without any post-release patches?
The point is that most of them still work even unpatched. This one probably won't even start.
I agree completely.
Yeah sadly, though from what I remember hearing the updates to Breath of the Wild are rolled into the later runs of physical prints of the game.
Why would P5R have any bearing on what's going on here? It's already released on card in one region already.
Honestly, it feels like the Switch release of P5 Strikers already got shot into both feet by being a story sequel to a game that isn't on Switch and due to the delayed launch putting its release window right next to Bravely Default 2. If they are now also cheapening out on the physical release they aren't exactly improving matters.
The vast, vast majority of games are released complete, with only non-critical patches after launch. For a lot of games any patches are trivial at best, and some games never get any patches at all. A game that requires a patch to work is by definition not working. Broken.
Sorry about the bump here, but copies of the game are shipping to retail and we now know, with certainty, that the Switch version is complete on card, with no additional downloads required:

Thanks for confirming this. Was almost noping out of a physical version when I remembered the date for the OP.Sorry about the bump here, but copies of the game are shipping to retail and we now know, with certainty, that the Switch version is complete on card, with no additional downloads required:

Good to know, thanks! I still ended up going PC, partially because of framerate, and partially because of getting to start playing 4 days early.Sorry about the bump here, but copies of the game are shipping to retail and we now know, with certainty, that the Switch version is complete on card, with no additional downloads required:

Yeah, this was mainly aimed at folks that wanted a physical copy of the game on Switch and wanted to know if they were going to get it complete on card, since required downloads REALLY tank the value.
You know, I'm not really sure since I was under the belief that the digital bonuses were for the early digital deluxe release.
