No Wii U retail? :(

I don't know if there is a Vita version, I just copypasted the article. Sorry.

This looks like a cool handheld game to have a retail copy of, might get it, but only when it dropped in price.

Manufacturing, distribution and retailer's profit margin tend to have that effect on products...

Beggars can't be choosers. It amazes me that some people are still this allergic to digital purchases in 2015.

So why aren't digital versions half the price of retail games?

Omg! Thats awesome news more indie games should be released physical ^^.

Must buy!

I did have a choice. To not spend my money till they offered the product the way I perfer to own it. 1s and 0s on a disc has more value then 1s and 0s in a download. The majority of console owners like myself still seem to agree with this.

Because retailers won't let them. You want to cut us out and do whaaaat? Well screw that, we'll market the other console more. Pretty much sums it up. Theres a reason those Vita memory cards cost so much, and it's not manufacturing costs due to proprietary format as many would have you believe. So much focus on digital bypassing the retailer, that they used them to help sweeten the deal to stock the hardware.

Also goes as far as, retailers won't stock and promote your software to the same extent if they know most people will opt for the cheaper option. It's a big reason as to why PC retail has become so anaemic since steam came out.

Yes, you chose to wait for a physical version. Then when a physical version was seemingly announced you were picky about the price. I used the phrase appropriately.

You haven't really explained why you won't buy the digital version. You say having the game on disc would be more valuable than having it digitally, and you're right, but you were willing to pay $20 for the physical version, twice as much as I paid for the game through the eShop just a few months ago. Considering the lack of availability of the game physically, the value of playing it is less than half the value of "owning" it? This game isn't worth the cost of a cheeseburger to you, but you would pay the cost of two cheeseburgers to have a plastic case containing a game disc of it?

The Vita doesn't use exclusive 'Vita' memory cards. It uses general-purpose cards made by Sony whose prices were set long before the Vita was released. Console marketing has nothing to do with third-party games, where the publisher holds all the power.

I used the other one at first because it was much higher quality, but the characters' expressions didn't seem appropriate. In the first one they're more disgusted, this one she looks disappointed.
