Digital Nintendo games sold on Amazon

Digital Nintendo games are now being sold on Amazon. The new service links up customers’ Nintendo ID numbers with their Amazon accounts and allows them to purchase digital copies of a select few Nintendo titles. The titles are being sold just in time for the release of Super Mario Maker for the Wii U.

Some of the Nintendo games on offer from Amazon include:

  • Super Mario Maker (Wii U)
  • Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS)
  • Super Smash Bros (Wii U & 3DS)
  • Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
  • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Wii U)
  • The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
  • Splatoon (Wii U)
  • Bravely Default (3DS)

Also on offer are a selection of classic titles that have been ported to the Wii U and 3DS:

  • Super Paper Mario
  • Super Mario World
  • Metroid
  • The Legend Of Zelda

For the full set of available titles, see the listing on Amazon.

Nintendo has always maintained very tight control over its content and how it is distributed, which explains why it’s taken so long for them to sell digital copies of their games over Amazon (and why the selection is so limited). Games for pretty much every other platform can already be purchased digitally from Amazon, so many will see this as yet another example of Nintendo lagging behind the rest of the gaming world.

It’s worth noting that Nintendo and Amazon have had a pretty rocky relationship over the past few years. For instance, back in 2012, Amazon halted all its first party sales of Nintendo products, though resellers were allowed to continue selling them. The first signs of the relationship improving came earlier this year, when Amazon resumed first party sales of the 3DS (they still aren’t selling the Wii U).

While Amazon sales aren’t likely to be a big boost for Japanese gaming giant, with physical stores like Gamestop making up the majority of Nintendo’s sales, it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
