Nintendo Switch Standard Physical Edition
PS4 Standard Physical
While I do find this cool, I just can't really see the justification for the price. The game has 12 characters, 4 alternate skins (One of which is just the Green Ranger with the silver lining on his helmet), and very little content. Even with the season pass included, I just can't see the value.
But eh, I guess if you really, really want a physical copy of the game, an extra $10 isn't too bad.
These are limited production runs, therefore they need to price them higher than if it was a standard large production.
They've updated the listings to show more of what's included with the physical release, which will be a lot of DLC:
"This physical release includes the following:
Collector's Edition Content
Base Game (with 9 characters)
Season One Pass (with 3 to-be-announced additional characters + Red Ranger with Dragon Shield skin)
Two character skins: Lord Drakkon Evo II and Kimberly Hart
Update One Content (v1.2)
Story Mode
Character Voiceover
3 Additional Characters (Dragon Armor Trini, Udonna, Cenozoic Blue Ranger)
4 Additional Arenas
Update Two Content (v1.3): to be announced
Full Color Art book / Strategy Guide
Reversible Cover Art"
So yeah, it's expensive, but you get the Season One Pass and 2 content updates. more characters, more skins, more stages, voiceovers, and a story mode! I know I don't post here a lot, but I've been a LRG customer from their 2nd release and they are a trustworthy company.
