Wow I am impressed with the upgrade. Playing this on the OLED model switch and it looks like I’m playing on a switch 2 or something! How did they manage to do this and why on earth are people even demanding a new switch? Just get this game and play it on the new OLED model. Looks near 4K and beautiful and sharp graphics and colors. Such a classic game!!!

Great Sci-Fi fantasy survival horror!

I gotta admit I’m having more fun with this game than most new AAA titles. It’s got a bit of Alien, 2001 space odyssey and Riddick feel to it. Music is great as well, sounds like blade runner in parts. Playing it on easy and it’s great fun with still a slight bit of challenge to it. I wish they would do this with all souls like games! As some of those are just ridiculously frustrating. Great obscure game to add to your physical collection.

The latest title in the VALKYRIE series is finally here! This action RPG incorporates the series' signature Einherjar and combo systems, allowing players to enjoy speedy, three-dimensional combat. The game's unique art style beautifully depicts a collapsing world as Ragnarok looms, with series veteran Motoi Sakuraba returning to enrich the title with an unforgettable soundtrack.

The Ascent is a solo and co-op Action-shooter RPG, set on Veles, a packed cyberpunk world. Welcome to The Ascent Group arcology, a self-contained corporate-run metropolis, stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. You play as a worker, enslaved by the company that owns you and everyone else in your district. You get things done, whatever menial task is given. One day, whilst sent on a routine assignment to make use of your skills with a cyberdeck, you are suddenly caught in a vortex of catastrophic events. The Ascent Group, the largest mega corporation on the planet, shuts down for unknown reasons, causing the automated security systems to go haywire. The survival of your district is threatened: rival corporations are trying to force appropriation and crime syndicates are looking to boost their black-market augmentation trade. You must take up arms to stop them from seizing control and embark on a new mission to find out what started it all. Explore the world of Veles, alone or with up to three friends, to find out what happened. Your ascent through the arcology will lead you across the path of the most impressive enemies but also unexpected alliances. Fully customize your character's appearance, skills and abilities to match your playstyle and loot various weapons and gear as you grow stronger.

Nice to see good games from smaller devs
By Highlander77
Nice to see a game with a female POC main character too. Representation and diversity are GOOD things, in spite of what some "gamers" think.

Review the game, not the color!
July 26, 2024
Not when it’s agenda driven and coming from a place of dishonest hipocrites that are only doing it to cash in on a trend and say hey look at us we’re going to be diverse everybody. Sorry, but that’s just lame and weak and you need to be reviewing a game for its ganeplay, not for its diversity! It’s the whole point of why we play games.

An epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch. The adventure is yours to create in a world fueled by your imagination. In this sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you~ll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. Can you harness the power of Link~s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom?
 

How big is the art print?

I’m assuming it’s very small. Size of switch game case maybe. Postcard size. Doubt it’ll be big, especially with it only having a $10 value

Will I get a refund if I cancel this preorder? I haven't preordered yet but if I can get my hands on a Collector's edition I will cancel, if I can get a refund. Does anyone know?

Yes, you should. Best Buy puts a hold on that $69.99 on your credit card when you place the preorder. Then takes it out once shipped.

Will there be an in person midnight release?

Unfortunately, because of this new digital age garbage and online shopping, they haven’t been doing those anymore. Last time I was able to do something like that was when the PlayStation VR released at Best Buy. Midnight releases were always a good gaming experience. They just wanna take the fun out of everything it seems now. They do away with physical interaction and make everything digital or online. I remember lining up for PlayStation 2 launch release infront of a CompUSA store night before release. Unforgettable experience that you will only have when it comes to stuff like this! Anyways, having alot of fun with the game so far. Only experienced one crash so far. Nothing 10 incoming patch updates won’t fix. Don’t even get me started on what I think about uodates! Hahaha

Does it store Nintendo game cartridges? I would assume yes because it’s a promo that’s for the Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch. But in the description it states that it store a single DVD or Blue-ray disc.

I was wondering the same thing. I would assume it is switch size for the cartridge and not for a disc. Might just say dvd case for disc because that’s usually the standard. Not often switch steelbooks come out, but I have seen a couple and they were the size of a switch case. Not sure about on here though.
