Nintendo eShop - April 2019 | Our Wallets Are Ended
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
I've just made it to the third island and I have over 400 deaths. Many of them caused by the motherfucker of a clown. I finally beat him last night and I was jumping around shouting expletives at him. Something about this game, despite it being really hard, makes me persevere. I think it's because I know that if I put together a run of 3 perfect sections I can beat a boss and generally I know I can do one specific section individually really well, so it's just a case of pulling it all together at the same time.
Never mind. The developer just responded to an inquiry i wrote regarding this. Jumping Joe (which is 0.49 until April 29) qualifies you. Just made the purchase.
Been interested in The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince because of its charm, but the gameplay doesn't look too enticing. I hear it's also really short. Does the story make up for all that?
Silly question, it's got a Europe logo as the region, will this code work on the UK eshop?
I'm not buying it either way (I promise!) but I don't get why you'd discount your game the day it gets released. Aren't you just screwing all the people who preordered your game? Moero Chronicle Hyper has like a 30% discount and I swear it wasn't there before today.
Really digging Steamworld Quest so far (pun sort-of intended?).
The deck building aspect is very interesting, since you're limited to a very small array of cards (8 per character). But I've managed to create some really interesting synergies. The Chapter 7 boss (in the woods) beat me pretty handily the first time, but then I changed my deck to exploit its weakness and create tons of energy quickly. That feeling of optimizing a deck for an encounter or even entire chapter is still great (of course, it's not as complex as Slay the Spire, but still very enjoyable).

Hey everyone! Developer of Dig Dog here. I just wanted to pass on a dev video I released for the games launch today:
In the video, I first introduce the game to new players. Then I share a bit behind the scenes and demonstrate how I made the game without using my hands. Enjoy!

I only hope it's symptomatic of getting the game out the door quickly and patching it later on, although that's obviously the exception to the norm.
In my opinion, absolutely, although don't expect anything deep. It's a very simple heartfelt story with an extra dose of bittersweet, all told within a stunningly gorgeous children's fairy tale wrapper, complete with page-flipping and a vintage aesthetic that's to die for.
The puzzle-platforming isn't the star of the show here, although I still enjoyed most of it despite a few segments here and there and one needlessly obtuse puzzle in particular had me stumped for a while. If you take your time and collect all of the extras on the way, you're looking at a 5-10 hour playthrough. I plan on revisiting it later in the year to scope out the achievements that I missed, plus I know for a fact that this will be one of those rare perennial games that I'll return to over and over again in the years to come.
It was $20 in the Coming Soon section in the eShop for a while, but wasn't available for pre-purchase. It's actually an even better deal than it was when they first announced it at $30 with a 30% launch discount back in February.
Now it's only $14 to feel a sense of shame and loss of dignity. I can think of many entirely free ways to accomplish the same thing, only with a distinct lack of bib-wearing bell-ends and... uh... this...
(The day I see one of these as a user avatar, is the day I quit ResetEra.)
On handheld it runs great so far but today when I docked it I felt one of the levels, the fun faire one, stuttering a lot and I have yet to restart to check if it's gone away or not.
Buying your game right now!
By the way, can you say anything about your future plans? Are you working on something new already?

Moero Chronicle Hyper gets a physical in Chinese region lol. Don't even have one in Japan.

Nintendo's forthcoming Switch distribution partnership with Tencent is already bearing fruit, I see. /s
Bought it even before seeing this video. I'm enjoying it a lot!
I think I'm gonna pull the trigger, too. This sound right up our Kamurocho alley.
Yup. Sounds like a game in the same wheelhouse as Kenka Bancho, RCR and of course Yakuza!
Haven't pulled the trigger yet myself, but should work on UK store. All Europe is one region. Everything I have purchased from them in the past has been redeemable in UK.
Has anyone played BQM: Block Quest Maker (primarily from a player's perspective, rather than a creator)? It's currently on sale and has me intrigued.

both VCs were on sale a few months ago.
golden week is not a thing in the US or anywhere that's not Japan so no?
Ha, I feel that! No exaggeration - on Xbone that clown took me months. So many deaths to a random baseball in the final phase.
PSN always has Golden Week sales for the Americas (i don't know for PAL land). It's a sale of games from Japanese publishers.

NISA just kicked off their own Golden Week eShop sale in America yesterday: https://nisamerica.com/blog/golden-deals-nintendo-eshop-golden-week/
Just beat BoxBoy + BoxGirl!. Good game so far, some neat puzzles. Looking forward to the Co-Op and bonus campaign.
The game ends with the cliffhanger "To be continued"; given the ending, my guess is that the original BoxBoy follows after this? The same planet you see getting hit with a meteor about half way through the first game... is, well, hit with a meteor in this game. There was a segment at the end which I messed up though, so there may be two versions of said ending? EDIT: Game alludes to the fact that you only get the true ending in Co-Op. Great...

Ended up playing Donkey Kong (the arcade game, not Tropic Freeze!) loads this afternoon. Its really nice to have the arcade version on the Switch in all its glory, its not aged a bit. I notice Ice Climbers is also listed as an arcade classic, is that much different to the NES version? (I'm not familiar with the arcade version at all). I might get it eventually as I turn my Switch into one big arcade/indie machine!
The story is the main redeeming quality along with the visual style, the gameplay is pretty bland. It's a pretty basic platform/puzzler where the puzzles aren't really difficult. You have to guide the prince by the hand ala Ico, but other than that there isn't anything really remarkable about it. It only took me about 4-5 hours to finish and by that time I really wanted it to end. There are some pretty annoying design flaws that I wasn't too keen on, like having to kill yourself to restart certain sections if you goofed up on certain things, and poor checkpoint placement, forcing you to replay large chunks of a level if you fail.
BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! is my first time playing the series and I am having a blast! It definitely feels challenging at points but it never feels impossible (where as a game like Baba Is You I've hit a wall it seems). Just a ton of fun and I am baffled it was only $10.
Also purchased Dig Dog and it reminds me a lot of Downwell and that's a very good thing, having a lot of fun with it so far after putting in over an hour and the music is awesome. I need to get better at my timing though because I haven't made it past the 2nd world yet!

It's the definitive version as it has a new enemy, bunch of new stages, hi-score leaderboard and a bunch of other things. Very fun version
I just started Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes and noticed that there's an 'Unlock all' on the T-Shirt store 'as an apology for the inconveniences'. What happened?
I have $40 to spend on the eShop and 0 idea what to spend it on. Just bought Picross and SWQuest.
Cuphead I already have on PC. Rocket League and Assault Android Cactus too.
Katana Zero looks neat but I think I'm ok with single player indies for now.
I'd love for the Jackbox Party Pack 3 to go on sale.
RE4 interests me but I don't want to pay Capcom any Switch tax.
I'd love to play FFXII, I never played it more than a couple hours but I don't think I'd be able to finish a long JRPG right now.
When is Kentucky Route Zero coming out >:(

Does the wishlist feature even work? I never get any notification by email that an item on my wishlist is on sale or anything. What's the purpose of it?
Yeah, kind of pointless without notifications. Some people apparently got emails alerting about some sales, but I never did.
I have yet to get an email alert for a game on my wishlist and I have many. I just scan through my wishlist weekly to see if any games on it are on sale.
Basically it's just a bookmark feature. Yeah, under utilized for what it could be.
Btw the JPB demo for Umihara Kawase Fresh is fully translated. It's a nice way to see if you like the gameplay in case you've never played a UK game.
I love that demos are again a thing, well alleast they are on Nintendo Switch
I only get email notifications on my wishlisisted title/s being on sale from my Italian account.
Never got one from my USA/JPN/MEX accounts, weird

Sold. I've been all over these retro releases lately so I'll definitely add this to my list to grab at some point. Thanks :)
I caved and bought Dragons Dogma for the 3rd time. I dont have time to play all the games I buy!
In case anybody other than me was curious, I've only been able to find one review of Lost King's Lullaby so far, from a site I've never heard of called Gamerheads Podcast Network. I was interested in it due to the art direction and eShop description, but it's sounding like a bust: constant glitches, poor translation, rote battle system, performance problems that outright gut the gameplay, and so on.

Finally bought DS remastered , at 28 $ it was too tempting plus I had about 3$ in gold points.
It couldn't have come at a better time as I've just finished Bloodborne.
I'll be playing it for the first time ever , any tips would be welcomed ( I platinumed Bloodborne and 100% its DLC )
