I find that hilarious. My kids love the fishing Labo game. You are seriously the first person I've seen challenge Labo counting. The code games I totally get both sides, but I just don't get the argument against Labo. Official 1st party release with a physical cartridge. It doesn't count because it's kitschy? 

It more has to do with what Nintendo themselves said, or what I swear I read somewhere about them saying which is they don't consider them to be games. I may be wrong about them saying that but I'm pretty sure they did and it stuck in my mind. Like I said I see it more like an accessory or application.

I don't think it's been posted yet but it's been on Best Buy's site for awhile. Lion King/Aladdin is getting a "Retro Edition" for Switch, which comes with a SNES style box and... a poster... for $20 more.

Also Steam World Quest just went on sale on Super Rare Games for anyone interested. Sounds like they are planning on releasing the SteamWorld Dig games too.

No, no, no, and no. Blazing Chrome had an LRG pre-order but it's nowhere even near shipping time yet. The others are all a big fat nope.

Hey, buddy, to each his own.  I certainly can't blame you for having your own opinion on them, but I think the overwhelming consensus is/will be that they will count towards a full set.  If you aren't going for that, then it really doesn't matter, right?  I was more just laughing because I had never seen anyone argue that they should NOT be counted.  If Nintendo said that, then I can totally see where you're coming from.  However, at $9-19 bucks a pop now depending on what sale you catch, they are worth the money of putting together and playing for sure, IMO.

I actually thought about picking them up, but not for my collection. My GF thought it looked like a fun craft thing to do together lol. Those sales never seem to happen around me. They never seem to go below $40 around here for some reason.

Watch for them on Slick Deals. They will usually post a Brickseek link for you or you can just Google Brickseek Walmart Labo and find it. Check your ZIP. There are still a few $9 stragglers around me.

Don't go out of your way blindly following Brickseek though. You will be let down. Brickseek's numbers are frequently off, as well as the fact that employees can hold things in the back for themselves, etc. Which reminds me: if it's a really good deal, you probably shouldn't call the store. Slickdeals is full of stories of employees that get wind of the deals, snatch them up, then resell later.

I have actually had the opposite experience in KC. It will say none are there but if I call, there's usually stock. I have yet to go and not find stock that was listed. I know I am the exception though as I've read horror stories. Like anything, it's just another resource so use it accordingly.

I got lucky and my Walmart had 6 in stock. Got one for me, 2 for my friends, 2 for my nephews and 1 for good luck!

Cuphead isn’t going to disc till after Delicious Last Course in 2020

Blazing Chrome’s Switch port was farmed out and the original dev was going back to fix some missing graphics.  Release date is listed Jan.

Isn't it crazy that you can buy 6 of them for less than 1 cost when it was released? They must have grossly overproduced

I really think they did. They were being made right after the toy to life craze with amiibo and Skylanders and I'd bet they thought cardboard-to-life was going to be the next big thing.
