Nah, they are published by Ubisoft, so they go on regular ubisoft style sales. They are pretty good games though. I haven’t played the second one yet, but first one was really well made and polished game.
Meh, I have only watched first 5 mins and video is too biased, and not all points are correct. Even some of the correct points are arguable whether they are actually as bad as it make them sound or not. Just seems like an anti-nintendo rant, which is fine, people have the right to rant.
I think you’ll always need NSO sub if buying directly from Nintendo, but pre-order rule only seems to be because of scalpers, so that only those who can actually use it, buy it.
