Mario & Luigi: Brothership

[Christmas Who?]

I bought this game off Amazon last week, and it arrived today, but they sent me the world edition which didn't work on my new switch. I'm very sad right now.

What do you mean by "world edition"?

What do you mean by "world edition"?

You know, the world edition (or the edition sold for the Middle East and Southeast Asia). It has a green, blue, and gray logo on the back and is missing the ESRB rating.

Ah, I see.

The Switch should be region free, I have multiple international versions of games that run just fine.

Too late, I already returned it

Have a segment of solo Luigi whose role is to rescue a completely unavailable Mario

Superstar Saga.

Superstar Saga.

When I made this comment back then, it's more to do on wondering if this game will have a "Luigi shines by rescuing his incapacitated brother" moment. It's true that Superstar Saga has it, which is precisely why I posed the question on if this game will also have this trend (in addition to Bowser's Inside Story and Paper Jam).

Turns out that, after asking again, there doesn't appear to be this moment.

Thank you for reading.

(Though, I think there could be more "Mario rescues his incapacitated brother" moments to balance it out.)

Uh if the option presents itself, I would just drive to a store and get a copy from there, I don't see why Amazon has to be involved.

Yeah that happened to me with my copy of Mario Wonder, I was wondering why the case was different then I realized it's a world edition lol. Also my Splatoon 2 game is European, and since European Switch games have their titles center aligned on the spines, it sticks out like a sore thumb on my shelf. #CollectorProblems

Convenience especially if you have Prime. Getting stuff you ordered in 1 or 2 days is awesome. Also not everyone has transportation so online shopping is most ideal.

I don't think right now would be a good time to buy things from Amazon if you live in the US.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now. The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country. The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

I download all my games via nintendo eshop, and it's always worked perfectly.

Yeah, as SGoW said, it involves someone having to go out there and drop a package off (and Amazon is the reason post office workers work six days a week). During November and December, those packages balloon. Also, this contributes to traffic congestion and pollution, so if you do have the means to get it off the store or get a digital good, I recommend that over ordering online.
