Out of sincere curiosity: why?

Not "why are you patient enough to play it on the 8th", but, "why, if you want to play it on the 7th, are you adverse to preordering a copy for yourself?" Like. It's not like it costs more.

I just don’t like preordering in general. I understand why people do it though.

 

[Deleted member]

...Like??? I'm just legit curious.

Go to the Crash support thread.

I have some posts there explaining the points that make me think this.

 

[Opossum]

I think the only time I've ever lost a cartridge was when I was traveling and somehow lost Kid Icarus Uprising.

But, you know, like a responsible person who values things they pay for, that mistake only happened once and never again.

The anti-preorder argument is one I'll never understand. But you do you, friend.

 

[Deleted member]

Funnily enough, I think I ended up losing my copy of Dragon Quest 9. Would explain how I’ve never been able to find it. Shame, fun game.

 

[Deleted member]

Would you guys be mad if this chick from Fire Emblem Three Houses was added as DLC... But wasn't a sword fighter?
I've seen her use Axes, so it's probable. As a fan of FE I don't really care, as long as that game is good and we don't get Corrin 2.0

I would be mad if she was a swordfighter.

I somehow lost Gundam Side Story 0079 for the Dreamcast and have no idea how or when. I opened up the disc case for the first time in like two years last week and the disc just isn't in it.

Like... how.

i mean if you aint in no rush to play the game, why bother preordering? Just like if I dont feel like having to change cartrages over and over, why bother buying physical

Was it you bringing up Crash's presence at the VGAs?

Why would she be a swordfighter? She canonically uses axes. That would be like putting in Pikachu as a water type.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

I went digital because:

1. I get to have it at 10pm tomorrow
2. It'll be on my system, ready to go at all times

 

[Sestetz]

I don't know why they would, but this still scares me

 

[CannonStreak]

Crash Bandicoot in Smash gets more likely each day.

Yeah, people thought Crash was likely for Smash when N. Sane Triologg was announced for the Switch, but he never got in at all, even for that reason.

Look at my signature (if it actually bothers to load).
As long as she's not another sword fighter, I actually would like to see Edelgard as one of the 5 DLC characters.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

She also uses swords though, and we know Sakurai's preference when it comes to those situations

 

[osby]

Edelgard would be cool, but I actually want Byleth more.

She also uses swords though, and we know Sakurai's preference when it comes to those situations

When did he prefer the sword when a character uses both?

 

[BluePikmin11]

At the minimum, I'm expecting a Metroid Prime related announcement, but I'm crossing my fingers for a reveal of sora in smash.

sora is my only prediction at the current moment.

 

[Sestetz]

I went digital because:

1. I get to have it at 10pm tomorrow
2. It'll be on my system, ready to go at all times

I'm curious about whenever the digital edition loads for different timezones

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

So who would you guys say are the most likely characters to get announced at the Game Awards?

I think the top potential characters in alphabetical order are: Banjo-Kazooie, Dante, Doom Slayer, Erdrick, Geno, Monster Hunter, Sephiroth, Steve.

Phoenix Wright, Crash Bandicoot (given the recent potential news), Master Chief, and Adeleine are notable contenders in the ring as well.

 

[---]

I consider myself a collector so I try to go physical/original hardware when ever I can and am willing to spend/have spent $$$$. Aside from SEGA, most companies are terrible when it comes to keeping their games in circulation, and even then I don't like re-buying the same thing over-and-over again. I think I've only lost 4 GBA & DS games since I was a kid.

I honestly hope Nintendo re-issues 3DS/Wii U at some point so I can have hard copies of the DLC content, though I doubt it considering all of the re-licensing they'd have to do. Heck I'd also be down for a "Super" edition of this game come 2020/2021 as well.

 

[staindgrey]

i mean if you aint in no rush to play the game, why bother preordering? Just like if I dont feel like having to change cartrages over and over, why bother buying physical

No that I get. That's just called patience lol.

What I don't get is the anti-preorder movement acting like the games industry is conning them out of their money when no physical retailer I know of won't refund your money if you no longer want to pick up your game. All a preorder is is putting down five dollars to guarantee a copy will be held for you. It's convenient, it helps both sides of the transaction, and being asked to put down money for a reservation is not uncommon in other industries at all. When I worked in computers and now in furniture, we actually required a 25% nonrefundable deposit to reserve anything.

So if someone just says, "Eh, I don't need the game on release day," that's one thing. I'm talking about the people who don't preorder out of some sort of perceived moral high ground and get upset when the store doesn't have any copies left. I have a multitude of friends who work at or manage Gamestops in the area and that exact scenario happens a lot.

 

[Sestetz]

Phoenix Wright, Crash Bandicoot (given the recent potential news), Master Chief, and Adeleine are notable contenders in the ring as well.

So many third parties! I feel like 1-2 be Nintendo owned (Should've replied this to UberPyro blegh)
Adeleine is also a strange pick, I'm imagining the one from Kirby when you say that

 

[PsySmasher]

If there is a character reveal at the Game Awards, it'll definitely be 3rd party.
Anything beyond that is up for debate.

 

[SlickWylde]

You can't tell me you guys didn't lick your cart of Breath of Wild whenever you got it !
Cowards

Yeah, I did. It wasn't really that bad.... I think people overhyped it. Yeah, it was bitter, but I wasn't like gagging or anything. I just went "Hmm, yeah that doesn't taste like something I want to continue licking", which is exactly what it's intended to do. But people pretending like it's supernaturally gross are just jumping on a bandwagon.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Adeleine is also a strange pick, I'm imagining the one from Kirby when you say that

Uhhhh. Yeah, that's the one. What 3rd party character were you thinking of?

That’s completely understandable and a fair point. For me it’s just, the idea of putting down money for a game that hasn’t even come out yet just doesn’t sit right with me. It’s nothing in particular or some moral high ground for me at least.

 

[Sestetz]

Can I remind you of how cool Richter happening is? I didn't even know who he was, but I know that him and Simon were the first two big Belmonts. Having one for us west and the east was such a good decision.

People are speculating her because of her lack of Spirit in the game, which is an odd choice if she's not planned as DLC.

 

[Moydow]

The store I've ordered the game from is open until 11pm on Thursday. I wonder, if I turn up at 10:45 like "but it's nearly Friday!", if they might give me the game early. :p

 

[FreeFox]

Posting about agumon here again , what a surprise...

Well, the leak says the the VGA will promote a upcoming game by showing the first DLC character for Smash.

Digimon have: Digimon Survive for the Switch in 2019, the Eevee x Tamagotchi crossover in 2019 and 2 new Digimon Tamagotchis in 2019.
And as you guys know , Digimon x Pokémon would explode the VGA and the internet.

So #agumon4smash

Hoping for the best. A digimon x Pokémon game would be fine though.

You can't tell me you guys didn't lick your cart of Breath of Wild whenever you got it !
Cowards

I only licked a cartridge once. Now, whenever I buy a new switch game, I make someone else taste it for the first time.
If I had to suffer the disgusting experience, I will make sure everyone else does too.

 

[Sestetz]

Well, I doubt she had a trophy in smash 4 either. So it may just be toast for her :'^) especially considering BWD's existence

 

[Pakky]

I love that Smash is just Jojo now.

Also

Very funny very cool, pour one out for Chun Li though

 

[staindgrey]

So who would you guys say are the most likely characters to get announced at the Game Awards?

No one.

I think from a marketing standpoint, Nintendo doesn't need to use the Game Awards to advertise Smash. Everyone watching the event is well aware that Smash Bros. exists. If they wanted to advertise the game, they could just use a ****ing commercial instead.

Considering Piranha Plant isn't out yet and the game will already be out in Japan be the time the Game Awards starts, I just think it's putting too many eggs into a single basket by announcing Smash news. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it. We're much more likely to see trailers for non-Smash content coming in 2019-2020.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Oh? What's the reasoning there? Not that I'd mind, considering it helps Phoenix's chances.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Yeah. Chun Li would've been great...

Uh, how is Ken Jojo? Hell, how is Ryu Jojo?

 

[Sestetz]

I love Ken (prolly more than Chun), but Chun-Li being her own original fighter would've been just as good. Hopefully she shows up somehow in the future, considering Guile already has made an appearance as an assist.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

It's that coupled with the timing of her rise in popularity and revival to the Kirby franchise with Star allies to boot. Especially if they're planning to make her a mainstay to said franchise.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, that's why I'm glad I opted for digital download for this game. Everything is lined up for me to play when the clock strikes midnight... assuming there's not another installation download.

 

[Pakky]

Well Ki and Hamon are the same thing i guess.
