There hasn’t been a Mario Golf on consoles in like 15 years — I wouldn’t hold your breath...

I believe he meant consoles as in the TV hookup kind rather than handheld.

Enjoying the demo of Octopath Traveller as I am a fan of old school jrpg's, but I'm not sure I can justify $80 for it. Maybe it will go on sale in a few months. $50 seems about right for it.

If it were November, it'd be day one. To much to do in the summer! I probably wouldn't get a lot of time in on it.

Okay, I've played about 6 hours of this now and it's really, really good. Don't sleep on this one, especially at it's price (I think it's only $16.99). Fantastic art and music, great combat, tight platforming, lots of content and exploration, good challenge... it's brilliant.

I'm in the mid-late game and some of the late bosses are giving me fits (Grimm, 2nd round of Hornet). It's awesome. My only complaint is that the fast travel points are a bit too spread out and the check points a few rooms further from boss rooms than they need to be.

Tropical Freeze. The Crash remaster is good, but I don't think that one is even close.

Plus, they're both controller-smashing difficult!

I'm having fun with it but can't help but to wonder who dropped the ball on some of these things.
I wonder if they left a lot to update as people get more and more into it.

What’s everybody buying these days? Physical or digital copies of games?

Zelda is the only physical game I've bought. I have close to 15 digital I'd say

I always get physical. It's annoying to swap them, but you can sell them on Kijiji after you finish them or get bored with them to make some money back.

I'd love to go digital but considering how well physical resell prices hold their value + making it easier to trade/sell games to be able to play other, physical is typically the way to go for me.

I hate that I have to wait two more weeks to play Octopath Traveler. I was so into it by the time my 3 hours expired.

The battle music is amazing:

I’ve been going physical with Switch games. Holding their trade value and lots of EB Games Double Trade Credit for Switch games days.

I've been going digital for the convenience. Always worried about losing games and I dont really have a desire to play and sell.

I just want to play through Zelda and Mario without shelling out $500+ but can’t find any used systems. Do I have any options in this post Blockbuster era?
