Nintendo eShop - November 2019 | No Money to Catch 'Em All
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
After stupidly being stung buying games like Sword Art Online, Night in the Woods & Oxenfree last month (which I played for <2 hours each and deciding they weren't for me), my fortunes changed after buying Steamworld Quest. Fun little game and great to blast out in short intervals. This should occupy me until Pokemon at the end of next week.
Yes, the first game (arcade version) is included in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends

Just an FYI
DO NOT buy Earthfall Alien Horde under any circumstances
it's awful, worst game I have purchased on switch, surpassing my previous least favorite- brawlout
wants to be a left 4 dead game and it's literally a clone minus the fact that the resolution and bluriness is terrible, effects like explosions and fire look hilariously awful, and it barely ever runs at a smooth 30fps
any time there are more than a few aliens on screen it's always stuttering
nevermind that the aiming feels off, campaign difficulty is unbalanced and it just feels really bad
now I'm stuck with 2 duds I have paid for but I won't even keep installed, it's that bad!

I've been going back and forth between Yaga and Children of Morta since Yaga appeared on eShop.
Been recommended here several times (and recently too). It's an absolute no-brainer must buy for that price for anyone even halfway into tactics games.
Rule 1 of video games: File size has absolutely zero to do with how long a game is.
It's not "by my logic" it's the actual definition of what a first party developer is:
Video game developer - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
In the video game industry, a first-party developer is part of a company which manufactures a video game console and develops exclusively for it. First-party developers may use the name of the company itself (such as Nintendo), have a specific division name (such as Sony's Polyphony Digital) or have been an independent studio before being acquired by the console manufacturer (such as Rare or Naughty Dog).
Luigis Mansion 3 which is developed by Next Level Games who as far as I am aware is not owned by Nintendo, their wiki page claims they are an independent developer.
The Studio is Second Party, but the game is First Party
Good Feels' new exclusive Switch game (devs behind Yoshi's Crafted World, Kirby's Epic Yarn andYoshi's Woolly World) looks absolutely bonkers in the best way possibile.
Monkey Barrels
it's $14.99 and it also includes a side online pvp 2vs2 or 3vs3 -which will probably be dead on arrival lol but still- it and a beefy (so I heard) single player campaign with 22 stages and 98 weapons.
This and '88 back to back it's a bit much, Juicy Realm also looks good, hopefully they all sell well (if they deserve it)
HELL YEAH
Damn that Strictly Limited Games edition looks sweet but...
...on the other hand that means there's probably isn't a Bubble Bobble Collection with the og titles plus Rainbow Island, Parasol Stars and Simphony in the works, is there? 😂😭

Okay, fair enough. I'm still going to wait for reviews before I jump in.
Oh this is so useful! I've been painfully scrolling the eshop on my switch all this time...
StarTropics, the game everyone is reminded of by The Touryst, is a whoping 512KB, and it's probably going to be longer than The Touryst. And Tetris is 32KB with a playtime of forevermore. It's baffling that people still think there's any relation between how many GBs a game is and how many hours you're going to play it.
Didn't play Ape Out but Katana Zero was super good. Beat it in an afternoon, couldn't stop playing.
Katana Zero. Ape Out is alright, it has a fun gimmick, it's challenging, the music is great, the art is great - but it's pretty short, it can be pretty frustrating, and it never hits the highs that other games in it's genre do (like Hotline Miami or Mr. Shifty).
Katana Zero's story frustrated me (because it's one of these games that tries to be mysterious and interesting but ultimately it just lacks a cohesive story and rewarding ending - but it's still good enough I guess) but the game is fun as hell, and it looks great, too.
I couldn't even beat the demo of Apeout. So it's a pass for me. Thankfully, I'm trying to stop buying games just because they're on sale. Also avoiding RPGs besides Pokemon. Anyways, I just suck at Apeout.
Also giving a shout to Deku Deals. Found that site recently, seems to update quicker than PSPrice in my experience.
That said, looks like This War of Mine is on sale for $19.99. Might have to finally play this game.

I know this isn't completely on topic but this seems like the Nintendo community on era so... are there any Japan exclusives worth picking up while I'm here? I nearly bought the Psikyo collection but it seems that is coming out here.
Another question - I know if you buy games on the Japan eshop and there is an English release that has the same SKU, then you somehow magically get the English language version. Does that apply to physical games too? There are some that I've seen that are released globally but are cheaper here, so I was thinking of picking them up.

Didn't care much for Katana Zero but Ape Out rules. Its fucking jazz mannnn
I'm curious about this as well. I own the physical version and it is enjoyable, but it's a pretty involved game and getting it setup takes a lot of time, so I haven't really played it much. I'd welcome a nice digital version, but it completely depends on the business model, and how the game unlocks new cards for your decks.
It's a single purchase of $25 with no mtx(there may be more paid campaigns down the road, it comes with 2 and there's some encounters coming as free updates). But it is an adaptation not a direct conversion, so it plays pretty differently while keeping some core concepts
There's some reviews for the pc version, just haven't seen any for switch yet
Got about an hour in with the LOTR card game and I'm liking it quite a bit. Presentation is quite nice and game play is solid so far. I did notice that the game expects you to be online for unlocks and saves, which kinda sucks. The prompt did note that campaign process will be uploaded after connection is back up.
I was interested in just picking up Mark of the Ninja: Remastered and Slay the Spire last month, both of which I did wind up getting. But I also wound up getting a glut of other games, I hadn't planned on due to sales: Taiko no Tatsujin, Guacamelee 2, Splasher, Gunman Clive HD, Dandara, Anodyne (too cheap to ignore), Hyper Sentinel (too cheap to ignore), Kid Tripp (very cheap and enjoyed similar game).
Slay the Spire, Guacamelee 2, Mark of the Ninja, and Taiko no Tatsujin are games I've been really interested in for a while, and I've already dumped a ton of time into Slay the Spire. The other games I have no clue when I'll get around to...ugh.

You add individual games to it via the item listings. To get to the list you have, go to your profile icon in the upper right corner, then you can get to it from the page that shows your account balance / gold coins.
Putting things on wishlist usually requires you to pick a game and click add to wishlist.
To get to your wishlist, highlight your avatar in the top right hand corner of the screen, and it'll list several tabs on the side, with wishlist being one of them.
I know if I was in Japan I'd definitely want a physical copy of the Capcom Belt Action Collection!
Not sure about the other question sorry, I know a lot of games (regardless of region) will just display in English if that is what your console is set to but it's really just a some do some don't type deal. My Japanese physical copy of I am Setsuna for example plays in English.
I found this website that could be of use:
What is the easiest way to add funds to a Japanese account? I love Groove Coaster but it seems like Taito has no intention of bringing it over to the US.
thanks, that link was super useful. I found AI: Somnium files and Dusk Divers physical second hand for quite a lot cheaper than they are back home, and it looks like they both have English. Also picked up Super Monkey Ball Re-balled or whatever its called, new, for really cheap, and the Konami baseball game.
I was hoping to get the Psikyo collections because they were quite cheap, until I realised they were in the section marked 'out of stock'...
If I'm jonesing for some Diablo 2 style gameplay (Diablo 4 hype), would Torchlight 2 fill that void? Or would I be better waiting for D3 to go on sale (which I have played and enjoyed despite being different from D2)?
