Nintendo eShop - August 2019 | No Platinum Trophies, only Platinum Games
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
I see, didn't know about those other games!
not unless they have a new Quake game to to cross-promote.
Can you use it in Mexico (which I'm aware isn't SA, but I don't know how the eShop is divided)? Mine works in Mexico, but I haven't tried Argentina.
Did you give Wilmots warehouse a try yet by chance? Is it stressful or somewhat calming for an organization game. Worried it could make me anxious lol
I've been saying 8bitdo SN/SF line sucks for years (info posts from back then at gaf and here), but people won't listen. The buttons have an inherent problem with the missing pads beneath them so you physically can't perform certain actions but people keep praising them and don't notice it until it's too late.
Try to do a fast succession of 10 quick (low in height) jumps in Super Mario World for example with a good Nintendo controller and then do the same with the 8bitdo. You'll do 8 jumps at best in the same timeframe, because the buttons take too much time to get back into position to take the next input and so on.
They are crap.
Could you tell us which tutorial you tried to use? I'm also interested in buying some games from the MX eshop with a EU CC.
Where do you get MXN eShop cards? SEA GM is the only store I found selling them, but they're out of stock.

The tutorials are in spanish but honestly, there isn't that much to it. Just create an mexican paypal account with kinda accurate info (you can use a random identity generator page) , and once it's done, add the credit card.
Meanwhile either create a Mexican Nintendo account or change the region of one already created to Mexico (which you remove the funds and lock the gold points in the original region). Enter the eshop with it, and try to link the Paypal account in "Account Information". They'll send you a message to the email linked to the account, and from there it should be obvious.
The problem I have with this is that after I got the email, I tried to link it, but Paypal just said "There was a problem linking the account". Wasted like an hour doing it, so I just gave up and bought an 10$ eshop card in Seagm.

Yeah, I too wasted my afternoon trying to use that system and had exactly the same problem as you did. Nintendo and PayPal really don't want you to be buying from the Mexican store, which is understandable. I will end up just buying an eshop card as well, although SEAGM has no stock, so I'll try buying directly from a Mexican store.
Wow, thanks for the notice. I won't be removing my current US paypal for a while.
I posted about it briefly a page or two ago. It's kinda both. There's a little bit of stress but after a few in game days you get the option to organize everything at your leisure which is satisfying and really chill. The game is probably easier the more organized you are.
I am convinced that no one (besides us, haha) actually knows how to identify a good dpad. The amount of effusive praise proves as much. 8bitdo clearly presents its products as boutique, high quality controllers, but they're just garbage.
Going to try to ask for a refund for Pillars of Eternity. I tried really hard to play through the glitches and grey screens and messed up text and bad pathfinding, but I literally cannot proceed through a big chunk of the game anymore. Stay far, far away from this port.
I added a US PayPal account to a US eShop account and then just changed the eShop region to MX.
Same :) Have been working fine for 2 years now. Now, if only Argentina, Chili, etc would start accepting PP. Though, that would probably have a bad effect on the offerings if they get plundered.
I think the complication comes in if you are in Europe but yeah I created a MX region account and just use my normal ass US PayPal with no issues. Rarely use the MX store as prices aren't always better, remember PayPal doesn't use the exact exchange rate you may see with a search. Its close enough though.
Honestly its really only been for Sega games for me. The Sega Masters collection stuff is all like $5 or less and I just got Sol Seraph for $6 which is about the most I'd have paid for the game.
Getting Virtua Racing for $3.50 is tops though.
You can choose to disable PayPal's currency conversion, so that the conversion is handled by the credit card.
