Whoa. Okay. Hold up now.
You might have your Superbeats and your Bastions and your Transistors, but the true MEGATON of this sale has arrived...
This price is officially in "buy it just to see how awful it is" territory.
Someone dissuade me.

Did anyone ever find out how to buy from Argentina/Colombia/Brazil/Chile eShop?
I tried once on the Brazil one, but it was a nightmare with all the extra ID stuff. On the other hand, this way these regional prices are truly protected.

Damn, okay. I would rather get for PC but would bite if the Switch version had a decent sale.
Never heard of it, but i like rhythm games, so... thanks!
Wow, I don't really like these games, but for that price... no, that would be really stupid.
Please stop me.
And what about Wulverblade? Looks pretty cool and has a nice discount too:
Anyone played it? Apparently, people complained it was too hard when it came out, but the devs added checkpoints and stuff in an update.
it was that price here in EU, i said the same, and ppl dissuaded me, thats how bad it is apparently
Also would have double dipped on bastion/transistor at those prices if they were in EU, I hate these regional sales on consoles, Steam still does it the best sigh.

Well then, I'll just have to lay my morbid curiosity aside and pick up Bastion for the same price. ;)
On the topic of notoriously bad games, where's my Vroom in the Night Sky sale at? The king of Switch shovelware has still never been dethroned as the holder of the lowest Metascore for any Switch game despite all the tripe that's followed since. That's mighty impressive.
Haha, well it's not possible on the eShop, but I can buy some codes at least! I just bought Wandersong for my partner, for example.

Give thanks to NoE for making two list of sales. They're already included.
Cool, I'll have to check it out! Tried out Kung Fu Heroes last night - it's a fairly shallow arcade port, would probably be fun in multiplayer.
Ninja Saviours delayed in NA until October 15th. FUCK.
But they give you UNLIMITED CONTINUES so it doesn't matter how badly you suck.
A steal for one of the best indie games of last-gen and Transistor.
Eh I'm on a tight budget and I did buy Okami and I've got a ton of games coming up... but we'll see as I have a few days to decide
There's a physical version you can import from Japan, I bought a physical version from the Square Enix store (EU) but it seems to be sold out now.
Wulverblade is excellent and all of the dev updates made it a much better overall package.
It's getting a very limited physical print run in Europe, currently all sold out for pre-order.
Edit: I see that I was beaten to it on the new page.
I held out long enough to get an EU Lost Sphear cartridge for like $24, I might be able to hold out for this. I still need to get me a Setsuna cart too, I just like having them.
Thanks for the heads up, I grabbed Superbeat Xonic. Loved it on the vita and it's great having it on the go.
I've done it multiple times. Will the demo not so up until it's fully downloaded. This is shit!
Oh man, I've been so salty that there was no way to get this after missing the Humble Bundle. Great!
Ok ok more Sol Seraph impressions now that I beat the first level (zone? let's call it zone)
- it's still a blurry mess and performance is still ass, at least portable.
- 2d sections are still stiff as fuck, still not sure if its janky-ass Ace Team being Ace Team, or "old school emulation" but it feels bad.
- tower defense is still my favorite part, I understand how most of it works now, for example, wood is finite so when you clear some wooden area, you want to basically unassign those workers and destroy that wood mill to get the wood back as its now useless there.
- You learn new buildings / traps / whatnot in later levels that you can bring back to previous levels if you so wish, but Ive cleared the first one with just the stuff from the first one.
- The loop is as follows: You play a 2d level to unlock the tower defense part. Once you clear the 2d level and unlock the tower defense area, there are several enemy spawn points where each wave comes from, you also need to clear each one of these in a small 2d level to unlock the zone boss. This does NOT stop enemies spawning from them.
- You want to explore levels (both the main 2d level and the smaller ones) because you can upgrade your tower defense section mana pool which is used for spells like summoning a strong warrior or shooting lightning.
So overall its a VERY mixed bag. None of it is particularly good on its own, but I like the combination of all things, if that makes sense. I know I sound negative on it, and that's because I am, but I'm still digging it, but I wouldnt recomend it? I'm a walking contradiction. Do with this info what you will I guess lol.

I heard the original name was supposed to be "Superbeat Zonic" but you threatened to file charges for copyright infringement and so they changed it to "Xonic" instead.
Far from the last. The first Velocity game, both Clone Inc, both La Mulana, The Swapper, Ninja Senki dx to name a few.
What??
Swapper is a masterpiece in terms of atmosphere, story telling and mind fuckery.
La mulana ex is a very revered game. One of a kind and very challenging.
Ninja Senki dx flew under the radar but is a very solid platformer.
Velocity and Clone inc have amazing OSTs on top of being very fun games.
I can say that I, Zonic, played Big Blast Sonic in the game Superbeat Xonic.
I will say, despite being a big rhythm game fan, this game will get VERY hard, especially with its mission mode. There's a good amount of DLC, including a few free songs, which will help expand your play time. But it still does an alright job of teaching you its gameplay & enough easy songs to let you get a grasp of the controls.
I said nothing about any of the games' quality, I said they werent "major" releases. Spelunky is a "major indie". La Mulana is as niche as they get.
Hollow Knight is a major indie, Momodora 3 is not (using the same genre). That's where I'm getting.
Judging vita games by popularity is using a bad metric since the vita itself is a niche platform. Spelunky's popularity certainly did not come from the vita port.
Ok, that doesnt change the fact that Spelunky is one of the most known, popular, aclaimed, whatever you want to call it indie games in years. It's what you would call a "major indie" like the conversation started. But whatever, you do you with your definition of major, this is the type of arguing that will clearly lead nowhere.
Finished it a few months ago, it plays fine. It still stutters when new areas are being loaded in but between those it runs okay and is a LOT less blurry. This is a chill game and it performs well enough to enjoy it like that. And nothing beats that incredible score.
I'm really tempted to get Power Rangers Battle for the Grid, I have close to enough in coins to get it for 'free' and have been eyeing it for a long time. Anyone with strong opinions on it?
