Get on it. An amazing game series that belongs in any serious collection regardless of platform.
I like physical releases, but I don't like if they release it months or a year after the digital release. In the future I will just wait before buying a digital release because of a possible physical release. Stupid method. Can't they release it on the same day as in the eshop? Then just wait for releasing it digitally. I don't want to buy it twice.
Yep, okay. Got that. Yep.
