Huh. Interesting. I hope this works out for them! I also really hope they put out a physical version of Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid in the future. Seriously, that game is so adorable and charming and wholesome. Very Happy

One item in the US store. Interesting strategy. We'll see how it works for them.

I know there's no market for CD-ROM games anymore (why did we have to stop putting those on computers?), but a digital code in a box is never going to sit right with me.

Because everybody wanted to have thinner and thinner laptops, so optical drives gotta go

(Similar to headphone jacks on smartphones)

They should do what the Nintendo Switch does and switch to flash media

Unless they’re going to make it so that flash media is interchangeable unlike the Switch better off not probably.
