Sorry, after doing some more research I have found out they are Japanese games. If I come across stuff I will definitely shoot you a message though

There's definitely some interesting stuff coming out from HK & Taiwan for the Switch the more I dig in to it. It will be interesting to see if these become hard to find because some only have a small run of 1000-2000. I have also added a bit of a clarification on the term Asian after your question because it is such a big region to cover. Basically, I will be covering the video game standards Japan/China/HK/Taiwan but will expand to say India if they release an exclusive physical game.

Thanks! This includes all Asian regions. I think the majority of these are released in Japan with English but I think some might be HK & Taiwan exclusive. Your question has now got me wondering how many are exclusive to certain Asian regions. When I get a chance I’ll go through them and if there is more than a couple I will add an additional column to denote if it was exclusive to a certain Asian region.

On here I would definitely reply with a simple "thanks but not interested" because I feel this is more of a community and it's good to make relations. Ebay, I don't bother and most people are the same way.

Loved this and so true.

Nice! I just received a Nicalis order yesterday that took two months to arrive so I should have this by Christmas haha.

We all know the NES-001 is the rarest Nintendo console!

Shantae Half Genie Hero done. Also noticed you haven’t added my completion of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse.

What is your job field you’re looking to get into?

Wow. If I was a sealed collector this would make me question their grades. How can you have a damaged box score a 9.4? Your comparison to action figure grading is a perfect example. Wouldn’t be acceptable in action figure grading and shouldn’t be in video game grading.

Yeah the more I have dug into them the more it seems that is the case. I’ll give them another day to respond otherwise I’ll just do a chargeback on my credit card. I think I’ll just stick to LRG, Super Rare Games and Special Reserve Games. If I miss anything else I’ll just take the hit on eBay.

I have been keeping a list of Asian exclusive physical switch games that support English (or that don't require English) and thought I would share. Let me know if anything is missing. If a game gets an official Western release in physical form I will remove it from this list. A few games listed have a Western release but only offer a download code for some of the games whereas the Asian version has all games on the cart. Asian = All common Asian regions involved with video games such as Japan/China/HK/Taiwan, but will include other Asian regions if games are produced there. Up to date as of: 7th December 2020 I am having difficulty with table formatting, so for now I am providing a OneDrive link: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AuabcT4IPPhchHE7WDAew1iBEq9_?e=IJ7e5i

I've requested a refund. I'll just grab it if it ever launches and if that means paying more on ebay I'll just have to live with it. I think I've had it pre ordered for almost a year now and it has never changed and they're very light on the details.

Did anyone else pre order The Game Paradise: Cruisin Mix Special from readytodispatch? This one has been in production forever. I emailed them for an update but got no response, anyone got info on this release? Also, if you missed Moon from Play-Asia it is available again for pre order. Thankfully I had some coins to bring down the price. Can't wait for this one.

I said it a few pages back but the Switch is going to be one of those sets where no one can agree on what is a full set. Some will consider the NA stuff a full set but the system is multi region so that is really a subset and should include exclusive games from the UK. Then you have LRG, in a constantly shifting world more companies will move to online only. I foresee more companies following LRG as we move to digital. So these should count but some won’t think so. I’m just focusing on the games I want or think sound interesting so I don’t have to worry about full set restrictions. While everyone has their criteria for what is a good game, I would say the consensus is that this isn’t true. The Switch has an amazing library, I definitely suggest digging deeper than the popular stuff.

The description is just as funny as the price. So much stupidity going on since WATA hit the scene.

I’m not well informed on comic and baseball card collecting but I would think maybe there are similarities we can look at. Besides the key issues like Superman, Batman etc. surely no one is paying say $1000 for an Archie comic or the thousands of other comics released in the 50’s. Same with baseball cards, I’m sure a Babe Ruth would still command a high price but I’m guessing the majority of other cards from that era aren’t worth as much. That’s what I think will happen to NES games. Key franchises will probably still get good money but the majority of it will drop as people approach retirement.

Late to the party but damn that was amazing!

This was my thought too. Unless parents are actively making their children play NES games before they move onto modern games I can’t really see younger kids having any attachment. I’m sure stuff like Mario and Zelda will hold up pretty well because Nintendo will keep them relevant, but I can’t see many games holding their value. Also, gaming in 30 years will be so different. Probably all cloud based and VR. Will kids even want to look at NES graphics?

Melbourne, Australia

I can’t speak for the other countries but Taiwan is constantly mentioned in Australia as the gold standard, along with NZ in the press, politicians and citizens. I anticipate next year travel bubbles will be created between Australia and Taiwan. Along with other Asian nations and NZ. I can’t see Europeans and North Americans allowed into our country until at least 2022.

The same is happening here. I had an item from Amazon say delivered and the tracking said it was in a suburb about an hour away. Amazon gave me a full refund then three weeks later it showed up. Also I am just now receiving orders I placed about two months ago and some I’m still waiting on. I think it’s just the system is so overwhelmed and flights are cut which adds to the delays.

Here is a link to the info about the companion game: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/3/15/road-to-legend/ This is the actual board game: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/descent-journeys-in-the-dark-second-edition/ It’s available on Android, iOS and steam so just search for Road to Legend. They also have this for their other game Star Wars: Imperial Assault.

Yeah that’s about what I paid for it. I mainly got it because I wanted to play Civ on the go, of course now I can’t go anywhere haha.

No problem thought I’d let people know because the description is very light on Netflix and doesn’t sell it very well. I haven’t seen Adam Ruins the Internet. I had a look on my Netflix and it looks like we don’t get it over here. I did manage to find the video though so I’ll give it a watch and let you know. Thanks for the recommendation.
