  • Do we know if these current switch games like this one will work on the new model switch coming out next year?

      Confirm backward compatible by Nintendo President

      Update: not confirmed if both physical and digital.

    • There have been numerous leakers claiming yes. About the closest we have officially was years ago interviews stating that was their intention. No official confirmation and it was long enough ago that if they don't they can just say they tried but couldn't make it work.

      Edit: I see your post updated to show they've finally made a new statement. Also somewhat vague.

  • Thanks OP

    Shining Force - what a game!!!

  • +1

    I'm tempted to get it, but I'm sure I won't play it as too many backlog for me now.

    • I dont even own a switch yet but iam getting one next year. I am holding off waiting on discounts for this model or maybe just buy new, not sure yet..

  • +1

    This is being delisted shortly also, great get if you're into these kinds of games

    • What does bring delisted mean? I currently own the digital version. Does that just mean no one can buy it anymore? My copy is still playable and downloadable right!?

      • +1

        Delisted means you won't be able to purchase the digital version anymore.

        If you already purchased a digital copy previously, you should be able to redownload it.

  • I could be reading it wrong, but I think that so long as you already own the digital version in your library, you will still have access to it.

    Obviously, having it physically gives an extra level or assurance - or several levels.

    It regularly gets down to $11.99 on the eshop. But is $59.95 right now!

    • I could be reading it wrong, but I think that so long as you already own the digital version in your library, you will still have access to it.

      That is correct. If you already purchased the digital copy before, you can still redownload it.

  • If you got online then megadrive has a bundle of games can play free. I did a comparison fair bit of overlap. Assume these won't be disappearing

    The graphics look pretty rubbish these days but kind of fun.

  • +2

    Currently $9.59 on the PlayStation store as well.

    • Even better

    • Is this playable on PS4 and without PS plus?

  • Not available for me

    Best to purchase a physical copy now

    fomo at its finest :)

    • They only ever made 800 million copies, it'll be rare one day!!!!

      That said, I don't own a switch but bought one to put on my shelf with my actual megadrive. Which I also don't play on, I use an emulator.

  • Any decent 2 player games in that list?

  • +1

    Oof, I just bought a used copy from EB Games last Tuesday for $47 just because it was getting delisted.

    I dunno if Sega will reissue a new version or not, like Atari did with their collected version.

    At least, I got that cheap 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim at $24, that Sega made cheap a couple of months ago.

  • These postings are funny when theres such limited stock on games.. like they already cleared it out

  • Some of the games have bad input lag .

    • Was just about to ask about that. I wasn't sure if the affected games have been patched.

      Panzer Dragoon on the Switch had horrible input lag too on release.

  • Does anyone get physical copy?

    I purchased it and apparently its digital copy with download code only.

    • I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered.

      No mention of digital code on the product page…

      • Yeah, I know thats why I jumped the gun FOMO.

        I picked up in store and boom digital code.

        I guess I can always return it as its misleading for not mentioning digital code on product page.

        • Yeah got mine yesterday, download code only. Going to return this this week.

  • same - digital code.

  • Also received my copy and it also a download code…
