My concern is that, allegedly, Nintendo requires pricing to be identical for physical and digital games. Unless LRG got some sort of exception, this means the games they publish will likely have to be the most expensive digital games on the eShop. They already mark up games to $25 for the PS4/Vita runs they do, so I can only imagine the Switch ones will start going for $30-35+. I'm still interested but I can't see myself buying in on too many $15 games that are shot up that much in price personally.
I am all for it.
Excellent news. Do we know the first games they'll release?
They don't make games. They make physical releases of other companies's games.
