On the one hand, PAYING for easy fatalities is really dumb, but on the other hand, it's not like fatalities affect anything during the match. The fatality only comes after you've already won, so this is a bit more into paying for alternate outfits territory, in a sense. And according to what I've read, there are ways to earn easy fatalities in-game as well (though they aren't guaranteed).

I'd much rather they charged for this than for easy special moves or damage bonuses or something that would make the game play to win.

I would maybe, maybe, be ok with it if it was not pay for each one. Scam me for a buck to unlock the option, I would not get too mad over it. Back in the day this a code to have some fun with, you could go broke just to see everything the game has to offer.

I work in an office where it is completely acceptable that I have both a Dreamcast and a Wii Mini plugged into my monitors and kill my lunch breaks playing Tatsunoko vs Capcom or Tokyo Extreme Racer.

Why did I ever spend as much time as I did in the government sector?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

YAY!

Man, the First Person mode is absolutely spectacular. I have been playing in it roughly 95% of the time so far and you notice a whole lot of details, especially with the citizens walking around. It really is something!

so I've had time to think during this install...

Pro for digital: I could have pre-installed this while I was sleeping and been playing already.

Pro for physical: I paid $10 less than the digital version is on Steam right now, and got a nice box and beautiful full color map.

Guess it all comes down to what is more important: time or cool swag and a discount.
