Ok it might be over-dramatic to call this a return of the Online Pass, but it's setting up a bad precedent.
A bad precedent that is a Switch only problem.

There's a pretty big difference between not being confident in a console to put your newest games on there and not being confident enough to put a glorified ROM dump of a game series with heavy Nintendo ties, to the point where the main character was a highlight of the most recent Smash Bros. One is sensible, the other is outright moronic.Well, I could say the same for you. We all knew it's a late port (most likely because they didn't believe in the console and I don't blame them) before it was announced anyway so that's pretty much irrelevant.
Because the company doing the $30 games is Nicalis, and they are releasing games with tiny file sizes like Cave Story and The End is Nigh at $30. Bigger games that require a bigger cart, like Binding of Isaac and Wonderboy, are priced at $40 from themnooooo the 8gb cards are closer to a blu-ray if you're selling at $60. switch games at the lower side are closer to standard ps vita/3ds pricing, hence the $40 price point on a lot of titles. i don't know how people are making more than a few bucks on those $30 games.

Having never played Megaman before, should I go for Collection 1 or 2?

You're only getting half the game physical though. My point isn't whether somebody would want a physical version of the games or not, it's why they'd want half a physical version of the games.
So you get more than one digital download code in the box?I want to share the game with my wife.
It's only possible if the game is on a cart due to Nintendo being in the stone age when it comes to digital.

yup considering both games total out under 6 gigabytes. yup.Are you telling me they couldn't fit all games in a single card?

The first one has more games and more good-to-great games at that. You shouldn't miss out on 9 and 10 at all, but being stuck with mediocre entries like 7 and 8 does devalue them a bit, especially when it's a more expensive collection already.Having never played Megaman before, should I go for Collection 1 or 2?

Lol. Same here. Except I thought that they would put Legacy Collection 1 as a download code and Legacy Collection 2 as a cartridge. Capcom gonna Capcom. Whatever, I'm getting it digital anyway.I predicted this shit cause it's the exact same thing they did with the Revelations collection. Expect the same with the MMX collection
People who buy games physically buy them physically for a reason. The reactions are completely justified.Yeeeeeeessss.
And the overreactions of 2 being a download code is so sad. "Worst company EVER!!!!" Seriously?
You can just compare the file sizes from the eShop download and that gives you a good idea. No company will use a bigger card when they only need a smaller onr, because the small ones are cheaperDo we actually know what size carts these games use? Would be curious if they are actually 1gb or in fact a minimum of 8gb. Considering the absolute vast majority ship on 8gb/16gb the economies of scale must mean there is going to be very little difference cost wise between 8GB cards and anything smaller
Why does the selling price make any difference to the initial cost of the cartridge / blu ray?

The games are small enough to that they could fit onto one cartridge.I am disappoint. They could have done 2 cartridges. Boo. Boo, I say.
Dark Souls doesn't. So far the only publishers to embrace this trend are Take-Two and Capcom. Every other third-party release has been borderless, including games that required a download like DOOM.I'm not looking forward to all the third-party games coming this year that will inevitably require a download and have a huge ugly white banner on the box art.
There's no technological reason for why both collections aren't on the same card. Like, even if it's true that the 8GB card is the smallest memory configuration for a Switch game card, it's still more than enough to house both games and have plenty of room left over.

My point is a fraction of games use 1gb cards whereas they will be mass producing 8gb / 16gb cards due to the vast majority of retail games using these sizes which will bring down their cost relative to the niche 1gb cards effectively making any cost savings dwindle to the point of being non-existent
2 is probably a download to cut cart costs. Maybe? I guess. I dunno.
