Be careful that this localization is not based on the new Judgement 7 version but the PSV version.
wtf? I already pre-purchased it on eShop >_< that's BS; Nintendo won't cancel & refund even if I contact them though will they? :(

You can get one refund from Nintendo and you have to fight for it.wtf? I already pre-purchased it on eShop >_< that's BS; Nintendo won't cancel & refund even if I contact them though will they? :(
I mean, in this case you may be able to make the argument that the product was misrepresented.You can get one refund from Nintendo and you have to fight for it.
True. In my experience they do hate giving refunds. Still worth a shot though.I mean, in this case you may be able to make the argument that the product was misrepresented.
I'm in EU.
I used to think as well and I gave up a while ago but today I decided to have a look around once again and I've finally found an estore (with an app as well) where you can buy instantaneus MXN eShop codes for MX$200/$500 (they accept a ton of different payments too, even PP Wallet) and there's just an 1€ overhead every €12 so still worth it.
Grabbed SENUA for around €14,20 in the end.
I already have most of the games with crazy low MXN eShop's prices so for now I have some leftovers, I'm sure something good will pop up soon. :D
I keep looking at Ace Attorney. Never played any of them before, the closest to it would be 999. Are they somewhat similar, apart from the setting of course?
Thanks man! I have my eyes on a few things right now. Never played Gunbird 2, Strikers 1945 II, or Dragon Blaze before, so those are all on my list. On the Steam side, I'm super interested in Death Smiles and Mushihimesama. Those five alone would keep me occupied for a long time, especially since I'm actively playing GEM, Ikaruga, Black Bird, AAC+, and Danmaku Unlimited 3, hahaha. So many things to try, but it's great having an arcade like this in my house. Used to dream about it as a kid.
Can you share name of this shop please? I've been looking for a way to buy easily from Mexico eshop from EU.
I got it now PS4 but never played it. The idea of it really fascinated me, but I heard performance was not so good on the PS4.Hob is a nice game. Nothing's great, but it's reasonably beautiful, the world is reasonably interesting, the combat is reasonably fun, the pacing is reasonably well managed. A mix of link to the past, Rime, and a metroidvania maybe. I'm near the end I think. Also it's a very solid port given how it performs on other machines.
Good stuff, though I'm still surprised that of all the games, panic button chose this one to port. Bring on Rage 2, you cowards.
Don't know if it is a good thing as you may end up buying lots of games due to enthusiastic recommendations here :D. Anyway, we should be the one thanking you for notifying us the OWIE =/= J7 issue.Oh nice, I didn't know there was an eshop thread, I suppose I should be thanking Jim_Cacher for that quote which led me to this thread.
Alright folks, time to get shilled on another random weirdo indie game by Camjo-Z. This time it's Agartha-S, a game so apparently uninteresting to most that it's only been mentioned on this website out of obligation in lists of weekly game releases and sales.
This game is a weird little platformer with a bit of Worms mixed in. You play as a Gunner who runs around these completely destructible stages, with the only goal being to get to the exit marked on the map with a yellow dot (or find a hidden exit that's not marked at all). You have four weapons with a limited amount of ammo that all have different uses. Your Gatling Gun rapidly fires bullets that destroy both enemies and terrain, your Flame Gun is useful for melting ice or turning water into steam, your Ice Beam does the opposite and freezes steam back into water or water into ice, and your Bazooka is perfect for chipping away at large chunks of earth.
With these abilities, the challenge lies in reaching the goal without running out of ammo, getting killed by the random critters lurking in the stage, or accidentally getting yourself into an area you can't get out of. It's really neat to run around the stages because destroying terrain tends to have a bit of a chain reaction, for example shooting a hole into a pile of loose dirt will cause all the rest of the dirt to spill down and fill in the hole you made. There are also some cool unexpected ways to make it through stages, I had a lot of trouble with the cavernous D-2 level until I realized that I could just blow up spots that had lots of water and flood the cave to easily swim through it.
The game has a strange non-linear structure, so it's got a very adventurous and mysterious feel to it. You can also obtain meat and gems in each stage that can be spent at the shop to unlock new characters, such as the wizard who trades the gun for a thunder spell that has bonus range in water, and can use a devastating close range Flare Bomb to clear out space.
Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes quirky eShop games that are a little janky but have a lot of personality. It's normally $7.99 but currently on sale at 50% off until the 25th, so go ahead and grab it if you like what you see.

All very good choices. Dragon's Blaze is the best Psikyo game IMO followed by the other two you mentioned, I'd say. Though I'm a big horizontal shmup fan so Tengai is up there for me. I saw your post about Black Bird in the OT and community thread. Did you ever find out the intricacies of the scoring? That game is criminally underrated so info is scarce. It's so good.
As we have established last week, Baba is You is not a short game.What are your recs for cool short games ? Not rogue lites unless they have a cool twist to it. I want to feel like I'm progressing towards something. Right now I'm thinking the Red Strings Club and Baba is You

it feels like shit.Saw that MH Gen U is on sale. Anyone have experience with jumping back into Gen U after World? I really appreciated all the QoL things MH World added, and I dunno if I can grind like that still. It's been years since I had to harvest paintberries, farm charms, pray to RNGesus for gems/plates, and do all that good stuff.

Hold on, Tangledeep has all this? Damn, I didn't know...You'd probably dig Tangledeep. It's a roguelike (turn-based, grid-based), but you can turn perma-death off. It's highly evocative of classic SNES JRPGs, from its pixel art to its OST. Would probably take you ~10-15 hours to finish the story, but there's a challenging NG+, and infinite playability.
The best part is its job system — think FFT, FFV, FFXII, Bravely/Octopath, but condensed into one character. Twelve jobs (thirteen with the upcoming expansion DLC) to mix-and-match to create unique synergistic builds, along with other avenues of character progression, such as weapon masteries, or empowering your equipment by entering and beating the dream world of a given equip.
There's also meta progression if you do want to tackle it with perma-death. As long as you use the same save file, your food garden, monster corral (you can tame/breed powerful pets), and banked items/gold carry over to new characters. Personally, I thought the game did a stellar job of making me almost look forward to each death, so I could try a new job build.
Oh, and my avatar is the main character.

Wished I picked this up instead of Wargrove.
Edit:
Oh yeah, I remember looking into this and seeing that the Switch version was more money than the PC version. That'swhy I didn't look further into it.
Thanks for the replies Luulubuu , No Depth Gotdatmoney .
I'll have to dig into some gameplay videos to refresh myself, but that ramp up is what I dread most in every one of these games now that I think about it. Wish you could just drop into high rank immediately and then work your way up to G.
Honestly, I might be willing to put aside my rule and pick this up, cause this game sounds and looks incredible.It's worth every penny. Honestly my favorite game of the year so far. Wish it hadn't gotten overshadowed by Wargroove (which was good, but IMO not as good).
Red Strings Club would be a good pick actually. It's really good and one of my few complaints is that I wanted it to last a bit more.What are your recs for cool short games ?

Finished The Red Strings Club. That was really good.
It's a pretty bold cyberpunk adventure game, one of those that do cyberpunk "right" in my eyes. Some very interesting takes on gender, sexuality, transhumanism and how technology interacts with it all. A couple of really hard choices here and there too; that surprised. Very thought provoking.
A couple flaws I can think of would be that some gameplay elements aren't very well suited for Switch (I'm guessing they work better with touch controls, which are a thing but I didn't try them), but if this is the only version you have access to the it's definitely playable; these sections are few and far in between anyway. Game is kinda short too, which is a shame because I really wanted more out of these characters and world; I think it's more or less 4 hours long, though there's a lot of choices that change outcomes and the game encourages more playthroughs.
There's a plot point that can be considered problematic tho, and it bothered me but it's relatively spoilery (knowing about it won't ruin the story for you tho)A late game puzzle requires you to use a trans person's deadname to solve it. This, according to the developers (one of which is a trans woman) was done to paint a certain character as a tactless moron.
But yeah, game was awesome. It's really too bad it's so plot centered and didn't offer some more conversations that didn't specifically serve the main narrative.
( Double posting from the glorious shmup thread... )
There is a new Japanese shmup release for Switch and Xbox One that seems to have been completely ignored in STG communities.
Its name is 'Alien Cruise', and it's one of the weirdest shmups ever made.
The game is a love letter to the 'Gradius' and 'Parodius' series, being a horizontal shmup in which the obstacles in the scenario are a significant part of the level design, following a tradition of memorization shmups from the mid 80s and early 90s.
It remembers me A LOT to 'Cambria Sword' in its WILD spirit: it's a flawed game, far from being a classic, with some disappointing things like the sound design (probably, the worst sound design that I have ever found in a Japanese shmup).
But oh man, like 'Cambria Sword', this game is one of the most insane accumulations of crazy and weird ideas, with every segment of the game blowing your head with its level of madness.
A showcase of fucking gigantic enemies after fucking gigantic enemies, with a level of surrealness on par with 'PuLiRuLa'. And tons of homages to Konami classics like the volcanoes from 'Darius', and constant changes in the gameplay mechanics with every crazy idea from a brain consumed by psychedelic drugs thrown into the mix.
With a distinctive comic look, making of this one of the most creative artistic designs that I have found in a shooting game.
It really remembers me to some of the most obscure titles released for the PC Engine, with echoes of 'Cho Aniki', 'Hana Taaka Daka!?', 'L-Dis', 'God Panic'... YEAH, that level of madness.
The weapon system sucks, with TOO many weapons, every one intended to play a different segment... I think that a system with less weapons, but upgrading these through the accumulation of power-ups, should have worked much better.
And because the sub-par sound design, the feeling of destroying things which is a seminal part of the shmup experience, it's not very accomplished.
But the game is so damn creative and weird, and so varied and surprising with each level feeling completely different in a 'Genetos' way, that at the end of the day you will forgive its flaws, playing this with a smile of pure happiness on your face.
And it's one of the rare contemporary shumps with a two players local co-op mode.
On the topic of people who only started playing FFX-2 for the first time on the Switch, how are you handling combat and the job system? I find it really annoying that you can't stop combat to carefully plan your next move, and most of the time it seams like keeping all 3 MC with the same job is just right, which is odd.I know this might sound odd, but I'm really bummed out that I can't buy FFX-2 by itself.
How do you buy on MX eShop though? They don't take EU cards.I already have most of the games with crazy low MXN eShop's prices so for now I have some leftovers, I'm sure something good will pop up soon. :D

it was on sale for 80% off twice between november and februaryFinally bit the bullet on Crypt of the Necrodancer, because the game never seems to go on sale.
MAN I should have bought this ages ago. What an incredible game! I'm now incredibly excited for Cadence of Hyrule.

It does, thank you!
Not in the US. I don't think it's ever been anywhere remotely close to that.it was on sale for 80% off twice between november and february
