I bought two copies of the Zelda remake released this week, one to leave sealed till some undetermined point. This is the first time I've ever held onto an extra copy of a game and I've been a gamer for just shy of 40, going back to the NES. Part of my thinking was that the first run of the game has a special foil paper used for the cover art. They didn't do the gold cartridges like they've done with previous Zelda games, so I guess the idea is that the foil copies are the replacement. The other part of my thinking was related to how physical games are on their way out officially since Sony's PS6 announcement. The demand fir optical media (dual layer bluray discs) is only a tiny part of that, and only because many games are too big to fit on a single disc now. With this Micronix ROM issue there is now another reason why buying an extra copy was a good idea.
