Starlink: Battle For Atlas is now out on the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One with the Switch version getting a big addition with Fox McCloud. The starter pack comes with the legendary Arwing along with Fox as a pilot. The package itself seems worth the price at 15 dollars more than the standard 60 dollar version.

Spawn = Consistency. Seems like yesterday we were talking about passing 50k.

[@MattyBudzzz]

Crysco Jesus Christ I’m almost sure I subbed at around 50-60k and that felt like a month ago talk about quick growth

[@bozscaggzz7475]

I subbed when he was about 15k. Just gets gooder and gooder.

[@Crysco.mp3]

same here around 15k when the switch was first announced. Its great to see how much he is outpacing a lot of channels that popped up around that time. His content is really top notch. Saves me tons of time, from having to research the web for Switch and gaming news.

[@zkatt3238]

I subbed at like 10k 2 years ago, before the switch was even announced.

[@catpack100]

Someone is going to poke their eyes out with the Arwing while its on the controller, I'm calling it now.

[@Miles678Z]

For some reason, I was thinking “I bet Spawn will take the grip apart some time soon.” I wasn’t thinking “2 minutes later” soon.

[@arjungandhi1242]

These things are always on crazy sale now in stores like Best Buy. The switch version was $15 CAD, and ps4/Xbox were $8 CAD. Picked up the switch version. This was the physical version too! Looks fun enough at that price

[@teacherluisfranco]

Spawnwave be like: "Got a new gadget/toy. Let's take it apart!!!!"

I wonder if he takes apart everything new that he gets, like food, bottles or humans...

isturbo1984 more like physical micro transactions that can be used once a day

[@SakuraAvalon]

Microtransaction is correct, since the content is already in the game, just behind a paywall.

If you don't like the toy's, just download the game. For the same price you get 4 ship's, 6 pilot's and a lot of guns. The game is very good and addictive.

[@MasterZebulin]

6 whole gigabytes!? No thanks!

[@ranmouri5648]

It's 12.6gb because of the 6gb patches, if you own the physical version you still need the patch for dlc or bug fix if I'm not mistaken

[@ranmouri5648]

[@GANTZ100pts]

You only have to scan the ship and pilot once every 7 days. You don't have to leave it on the controller. So basically once the ship and pilot are scanned you can use the Pro Controller..

[@kirindas4691]

I got the game digitally because I didn't want to deal with the toys and because of the extra pilots, ships and weapons available on that version.

Best bang for the buck imo

[@OakCityGamers]

Spawn wave! I’ve told everyone this game is saying you steal software! I got this game. Got excited about it... started buying toys... and the more toys I got... the more my portable version of the game got neutered. I paid for the physical toy software upgrades. Now many of my weapons are only available for 24 hour periods in both modes. It’s like Ubisoft is saying “nobody will buy the physical. If it’s unlocked. You must have stolen or borrowed it.” So upsetting. Had plans to finish this game over a week on vacation in the portable mode. Now I plan to never play it or buy a new UBISOFT game again

[@jacoobyslaps]

Oak City Gamers I’m not sure about that. I own the whole set and only need to scan the ships and weaponry in once a week. This is to ensure that you still own the ships.

[@OakCityGamers]

I posted this at the beginning of my campaign to end it... I’m glad they stopped doing it. It was 24 hrs... and then it was a week long... and I made sure they understand when you buy a physical... I should own it out right. I was halfway through collecting the physicals when I went to play the game and nothing in it worked, and I was out of town away from the toys... I’ve had to say this so many times now... so if you have no limits... cool. My experience differed from the first day it was out.

[@MichaelWilliams-xl7vx]

"wanna take the controller apart?" you alright in my book!

[@JM-pm1yb]

I went digital on this game, but I REALLY want the Arwing kit sold separately to collect.

[@Someone-gp3jh]

Jacob Montoya they probably won’t do that

[@JM-pm1yb]

I know

[@scottdparrott]

I want the ones in the xbox and PlayStation ones sold separately as in the switch one there is a weapon and ship you do not get

[@Toezly]

The poster i got in Australia has fox and the star link team on it and fox is also on the checklist on the back, strange?

[@8bitboss929]

I actually like it! It’s super fun and different than most of the other games this generation. Got it on Switch like pretty much everyone will I’m sure. Would be interested in hearing how the split is between all 3 systems.

[@Gintokikreuz1]

Yay! Another cartridge game that needs additional download......The crappy trend continues...

[@solidust573]

Which is unfortunate. This _physical copy_ of the game will not exist after they shut down the servers for archival purposes. This trend is effectively killing off video games.

[@Gintokikreuz1]

@COOLMCDEN 219 the game is only 12.7 GB.

[@SakuraAvalon]

In other words, Ubisoft was being cheap.

[@sclemoidfandango4677]

However people defend or justify this practice, it's still bad. These half game's will eventually become unsupported, therefore, the physical WILL be throwaway. Not everyone can afford HS internet, or any internet in some cases. Ubisoft,etc, should shape up, or ship out. This game is currently reduced now to less than half price. I bought it solely for the Arwing model and fox figure to display, but I own and play the PS4 version. Its not about the cartridge, it's about DRM. Peace to all gamers, and hoping this trend dies out.

[@TheNintendoWizrad]

Hoping peopleactually start paying attention to the actual game, because it seems pretty awesome so far

[@jasone5083]

This game would have been so cool if they would have fit the whole game on the game card instead of being cheap and having people download a portion of the game in order to play it.

[@h5m2a]

The game card doesn’t have enough storage because the game is so massive

[@johnsundsethvik6918]

The actual unboxing starts at 7:17

[@bobrocks79]

Those wires probably go to an external antenna for the NFC reader in the joycon. [edit] Just watched the whole video. Are they emulating the NFC Communication or does Nintendo have some sort of support for external accessories built into the joycon?

Excellent unboxing n taking apart video Jon(SW). I was probably one of the few that was interested in StarLink when it was first shown but when Star Fox was announced too be part of the game I was sold and when it was announced that you can play through the entire game with Fox n the crew, it was a no brainer. I cannot wait too play this but I am playing Torna DLC at the mo trying too finish that of then hopefully it's some StarLink x Star Fox time :-).

As usual Ubisoft can't help but sneak some BS into their games, since they couldn't do always online DRM or microtransactions with Starlink I guess they decided to make you download a chunk of the game. The digital version is 12GB, golly Ubisoft ya couldn't fit that on a cart?

[@owenmep7429]

That isn't much of a good complaint, especially for me, I own a 128 gb micro SD card (I bought it for 40 dollars) and 12 gigs digital is nothing

[@Snotnarok]

@@owenmep7429 So you're entirely fine with spending more money on a game for no reason other than the company didn't want to spend the cash? I can't wrap my head around that. "I'm okay with spending more money because the multi billion dollar corporation didn't want to get the larger cards in their DLC filled mess of a game"

[@Howema]

this game is great however the toys to life stuff is just too pricey, grab the digital deluxe version as it gives you access to everything extra you could buy physical while only costing $80 total when the starter physical edition is $75. if you dig the ships buy them for models only and play this game digitally.

Is there a complete edition pack with all the ships?

[@Marvin_R]

only digitally, and it doesn't include the store-exclusive remixed ships(existing ships, but with different colors and swapped parts)

[@tpolarbeart]

I think and would imagine this is wired to the switch controller rather than NFC. If anyone has one of these are there pins on the included joycon holder to confirm this? I don't have one of these but I would be interested in adding some jumper wires to read the data on a scope to see if it can be duplicated.

[@Link200767]

if it weren't for StarFox i would have passed on this game. hope they do Nintendo exclusive content for this game that would make sense like maybe F-Zero or Metroid and i do hope they implement amiibo support for maybe something like extra goodies, nothing fancy.

If they put the “download required” banner on the main box why do they have to put it on the actual case! Or they could have made a reversible cover instead of including a big poster, that would require way less ink and less paper.
