Nintendo eShop - December 2018 | GRIS, Monster Boy, Desert Child, Madelyn,Phantasy Star,Guacamelee 2
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
I mean $20 was a great deal but supposedly they sold well so my hope is Hori will feel compelled to make a $30 wireless version... unless Nintendo doesn't appreciate it going to compete with legit L joycons or even their Pro Controller. I mean our situation is niche within a niche.
Phantasy Star is probably the most accessible of the early JRPG Ultima-clones, especially this version. If you can deal with the original Final Fantasy, you should have no problem with this.
I think the oldest RPG I've played was the first Shin Megami Tensei and I hated it. Shin Megami Tensei II was a way better game though. Is that a good frame of mind?
Honestly, these games are too different for me to effectively compare them. I'd honestly recommend you check out a video like this so you can actually see what the game's pace and feel is all about.
It is solid. The all improvements almost make it too easy.
One of the best Sega Ages games. For $8 you will be happy. I would say it is definitely old school in the vein of the smt games. Not a lot is explained but the ages updates help.
Hey guys. I know this isn't the specific place to ask, but since I feel like this thread represents the "core" of Switch owners of Era, thought I'd ask: would anyone be willing to add me to their Family Online plan? I'd be more than happy to pay my share if you have an extra slot. I regret not signing up for one when I did my own, but now that my daughter has her own Switch it'd be fun to play Splatoon online together!
Thanks for considering!

Yessss I'm so in! I liked the first game a lot on 3DS but never ended up trying the sequel. That price is super hard to ignore too. Day 1!
My wife is not sure what she wants to get me for Xmas. She heard me mentioned a few times that I might be interested in a Switch again, I have had it twice before the first is when it came out and Zelda which was incredible and my GOY that year. I got it again for Mario but that just did not grab me. I am waffling if I want one again, games like Roller Coaster Tycoon Switch, Atari Flash back Classics and the one thing that really is making me want one though is the release of Phantasy Star since that is my GOAT game.
Any feed back on RollerCoaster or the Atari Flashback compilation?

Digital buttons is the only option unfortunately.
They can be remapped, but it doesn't let you assign an analog stick for gas.
Like I mentioned earlier, it's really not a huge issue, at least in early game where you use slower cars.
I'm not sure how faster cars will handle, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll be manageable.

if you want a $300 piece of hardware for those - dont.
Like if you cant look at this massive library and find more than that, I would not get a switch at all. Kind of mind boggled you've owned it twice before and got rid of it? Seems like a joke post
The charge grip is nice for charging secondary joycons, I keep forgetting it didn't came by default with the Switch. Got it from Gamestop in a bundle with my Switch at launch.
Get the NES NSO controllers and do this? :D

Switch pinball fans: Williams Pinball Volume 2 is out now on Pinball FX3 with Attack From Mars, Black Rose and Party Zone for $9.99 US. Got to play a few quick games of Attack From Mars before work and it was great. Still hoping for them to release Tales of The Arabian Nights in the next pack.
Just noticed that the eShop no longer restricts lists to a few items with a See All button and the end which goes to a list view.
Now you can scroll continuously without having to do that thing where you click the button and have to remember how far you got.
This is where you all tell me it's been like that for weeks and I've only just noticed!

I just finished GRIS and while it isn't an extremely challenging game, its puzzles are relatively demanding and you get a sense of progression, unlike games like Journey and ABZU.
Transistor is a fantastic game as well, so you're good with either of them. GRIS will surely be on my top 10 2018 games though, maybe even on my top 10 of the gen.
Oh, that was super annoying!
I just noticed it too, so I think this is new.
So how's firewatch? Apparently there are some severe frame drops when streaming areas, but beside that it looked like a solid port.
Let's say that while frame can occasionally drop severely, the gameplay did not seem really impacted and the experience remained solid.
That must be new! I looked at the discount list about 2 days ago (on the EU eShop) and then I needed the button.
Quite certain it is new, I looked at the deals list in the US eshop just a couple of days ago and the button was still there,
There's no way I'd buy a Switch for those games.
Why do you sell your consoles so often? Unless it's due to financial issues, just hang on to them. Put them in your closet for a bit if you're in need of extra space for the time being. Otherwise, you're just wasting money. If you get a third Switch for Christmas, that's $900 you or someone else spent on the same thing three times.
I miss the See All because it actually let me sort in a fashion (by release date was my pick).
No effect on access to your games.
1. If you have funds in the eshop, you either loose them or you can't switch country as long as you have funds in the eshop you are in, not sure which
2. Gold coins can't be used across accounts, they will remain in the account you bought the game through
3. If you change to Japan, you will apparently continue to get game news on your Switch in Japanese as well, even if you switch back.
MK11 community event, this, and Yakuza 4's PS4 remaster release all on the same day. I can't wait for all 3 :)
Thanks. Guess I'll find a way to spend my current funds and then switch countries.
You can alternatively create a second account for a different region and continue to play those games on your main account. It's what I do because it lets me keep my main account's funds untouched while using a secondary account to travel the world (to Mexico mostly).
Incidentally, is it possible to buy stuff from the South African eshop if I'm in the US?
Do yourself a favor and just make a separate account for that country. I have a standard US account and:
ChiefMX - mexico
ChiefJP - japan
ChiefEU - Europe
I'd love to know this too. I have a South African account just sitting there.
I have 3 accounts, from the US, Japan and South Africa. I buy games from all of them, i'm in Brazil, by the way.
How do you pay? I have a Japanese and a European credit card, and none works on the American Eshop for example.
Have you tried paypal for NA?
My credit card works in every region I tried, and I tried quite a few. Maybe because it's international? I dunno.
Hey sorry I just got a Switch yesterday so this is new to me. What do you mean "Switch app"? Is there a mobile app or does this work if I buy it through the eShop on my Switch?
Your card is from VISA, i suppose? My card is a MasterCard international and every region accepts it, except for NA. My wife's VISA card works in NA.
Yep, mine is VISA. I do remember reading some people claiming to have issues with MasterCard.
Just checked and the coming soon section seems to no longer have a limit either. There are 63 games showing up right now; the limit used to be 48.
Also saw this video for an upcoming co-op platformer on Nintendolife:
I can never get enough of true co-op games. This trailer also reminded me that Ibb and Obb still hasn't been released for Switch.
