Glad I held off on finishing this. Not a bad choice of game for those people who get a 25 quid eShop card for Christmas.

I double dipped on this for Xbox and OS4. Literally the worst decision ever :laughing: . 

It was bad enough the first time but that was prior to the patch which fixed things somewhat. It is a decent game in parts but there’s too many annoyances. 

I say this and in a moment of madness I’ll end up triple dipping so im gonna shut up now.

If it makes you feel any better, I'll be Quadruple-dipping... I have the PS4, Xbox One and physical PC version. :p

Technically it's even Quintuple-dipping if you count the 64-Bit Edition... but that's just an N64 box (a lovely one though) with a flash drive N64 cartridge which doesn't have the game on (obviously) but still. :)

My point is, it could be worse... ;)

£34.99 on eshop...that's a big ask considering how late to the party it is...

And when you can get it on other platforms for less than £20...

Wow. That is pretty rough. Pretty sure I paid less than that when it launched on the other consoles earlier in the year.

And a boxed copy no less.

Gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed how the Switch version has been handled. No retail version, expensive and very late to the party.

Ridiculous price. This game seems to keep finding new ways to disappoint.

<sigh>

I really want the game (a lot more than most others here), but for that price I really need a physical version.

Can someone tell me how exactly it compares to Banjo-Tooie in regards to content?

It's not even a particularly good game. This is coming from a massive BK fan too.

Essh, my mental limit was £25 tops, I'm really torn.

If I don't get it on Switch my chances of getting it completed are zilch, but it's dirt cheap elsewhere... I do want to play it in some capacity but I don't want to fall into the "support games on Nintendo consoles" trap with this when it's so bloody expensive 8 months after it was released.

Dad life, eh..? :indeed:

I think I'm in a pretty similar boat (and I wasn't even prepared to go to £25 :heh: ) but we'll see what happens.

An extra few pound would get people Super Mario Odyssey so £34.99 feels like an extremely tough sell..

Playtonic have just priced me out of getting this.  I'll wait for a hefty sale.  I was under the impression this would be around 14.99.

Just got mine as well.  Completely forgot this was being released this week.

eShop pricing is a joke when it's this late.

Got mine installing now.

If I hadn't backed for £15, I'd definitely be waiting for a reasonable price.

It’s an extremely impressive port! Looks nigh on identical to the other versions as far as I can tell, without a side by side comparison and the framerate is absolutely rock solid throughout the first world at least!

 

Really impressive stuff.  Playtonic certainly put the work in here!

I may look to pick this up when its a lot cheaper. The price is way too high.

I actually just checked the store on my Xbox and it's £35 on there too...I know it's been on sale before but as a base price...too much.

Still, I've asked for eShop vouchers for Christmas so hopefully I'll pick this up on the day as my Xmas treat!
