RSL

Jay_L
Apr 2, 7:31am

Again other games even with new content have provided free upgrades.
Jay_L
Apr 2, 7:54am
Seems like games are super light on release. Only one real new game?
RSL
Apr 2, 7:26am
Ah, Metroid Prime 4. Forgot. Is this a launch game though?
RSL
Apr 2, 7:28am

a bit disappointed it didnt mention it
LeonMarek
Apr 2, 7:39am
Fingers crossed it isn’t just limited to Madden and FC. Would be silly if so
VirginiaPeanut
Apr 2, 7:41am
I would be very surprised if it didn't. Plus, the new game launches a month later, right?
RSL
Apr 2, 7:45am
Yes, either later June or July. I’ll get it if so.

westsidecoug
Apr 2, 8:25am
Any guesses on how much the upgrade packs will be? I'm guessing $20. Kind of sucks, but it kind of makes sense you have
