US Nintendo eShop Deals (3/22): SteamWorld Sale & Lots of Switch Nindies
- Thread starter Captain of Outer Space
- Start date
Added Steamworld Heist and Kamiko to the collection. Too many games I wanna try out! Tempted by Blossom Tales and Steamworld Dig 1.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is once again more expensive on Switch than Steam. Steam has a lower base price in Canada AND it gets a 35% sale compared to 25%. They really are making me ok with not buying their game.
Dig 2 is also my choice, but Heist is very different (unlike Dig 1) and really awesome as well, like XCOM with more meaningful characters, an element of skill added to the aiming system, and no permadeath. Dig 2 is still probably the best IMO as I like Metroidvania's more than strategy games, buts SW Heist is still one of my favorites of its genre.
Jackbox 2 is the only one I'm missing, IIRC, time to grab it.
Wish eBay was running an eShop Card deal concurrently.

HOLY SHIT...RIP my wallet. There were 7 Switch games that I have had my eyes on...Just bought 4 and held myself from more for now...GAHHHHHHHH! Ended up grabbing Steamword Dig, KAMIKO, Crypt of the Necrodancer and Super One More Jump.
Some of the great Indies on there though. God Bless the Switch! lol

Will finally pick up Blossom Tales.
And l notice SteamWorld Heist is cheaper on Wii U. Is the DLC worth the added cost of the Switch version?

Played a little bit of Dig 1 two times on PS4, as I played a little bit, forgot about it, and then started it over and played a little more a few years later. Decided to pick up Dig 2 a few months back even without beating the first and really enjoyed it. I just bought Dig 1 on Switch because I have been planning on going back and playing it and at 50%, I couldn't say no.
I can't really personally speak to that (I own the game but have never tried 4 player splitscreen) but they just announced yesterday that the big Spring update including 900p handheld, toggleable graphic/performance modes and tournament mode is coming on April 3rd
That is great to hear . Time to use those coins before they expire.
Still don't own Dig 2 but since the physical release has been announced I feel like I should wait for it instead. Same reason why I haven't bought Celeste yet (hoping for a physical announcement).
How are:
- Blossom Tales
- Splasher
- Hollow
I am tempted by NBA 2K18 at that price but I hated how their MTX policy on PS4 and doubt I can deal with grinding on the Switch. Plus it's like 30-35GB which would leave me with little room on my 128GB MicroSD card.
Get Heist.
Amazing game, save $5. Manticore is kind of mediocre and more expensive. Get it on sale.
DON'T SLEEP ON AEGIS DEFENDER
so good
so good
I got it but barely played an hour. Had some creepness to it and anxious to play more when I find the time though.
I'm stuck on whether to get Doom or Skyrim. I love FPS games and want one for the Switch but I already have Doom for the 1X and don't feel right paying for an inferior version. But I play portably a lot so I wonder if it will be worth getting just for that.
I've never played Skyrim but I'm not too keen at games that are overly complicated. Is it more difficult than The Witcher 3? I eventually got into that after figuring out its systems. As long as it's fun and easy enough to get into I'm ok.

Wrong thread? The Yanks aren't getting Skyrim or Doom on sale - which is a shame as I totally would have bought at least one of them.
Sorry. I assumed it was the same sale. Either way, advice would be appreciated. I can't seem to start a new thread.
A lot of these sales exist more for the added exposure on the discount page than anything else.
There is a demo on the JP eshop, even has multiple language support, check it out its great.
Oh I know, I just thought it was curious that it wasn't talked about as much as other famous indie ports previously.
I've been playing Skyrim all day, it's amazing. Your abilities naturally improve the more you use them (one-handed weapons, light/heavy armor, magic, smithing), and you can purchase perks in each skill tree that have a significant impact on your abilities. Combat is very mushy, but you have a lot of freedom to evolve into your preferred build, and can switch the combat difficulty at will.
It's exactly as impressive of a portable game as Zelda, the world is enormous. And besides the expected Bethesda jank, the performance is very stable and load times are hardly an issue.
Ain't nothing inferior about Switch DOOM. the portability and gyro aim makes it superior.
The only reason I don't buy it now is because I already own it. :-). Great game, no reason to wait.
Dont know why you wouldnt get both this point, kamiko is so cheap
Any word on Splasher?
Speaking of gold coins, do those expire?
Kamiko takes less then an hour to beat per character and is EXTREMELY zelda lite. Blossom tales plays and feels like an actual zelda game.
Because I value my time rather than money. :) And one Zelda clone is probably enough, if at all. Really depends if either game offers anything fresh.
Alright, thanks.
Got SWD2 at launch, so totally just jumped on Heist, never played it before.
I don't consider Kamiko a Zelda clone, so Blossom Tales it is. I've been wondering about Eliots Quest since it seems like Zelda 2 inspired, and it's on sale on the EU store.

I see Splasher and Kamiko are now on sale, which I am planning to get since they are on my wishlist.
I think I will put Blossom Tales on my wishlist, but not as an immediate purchase.
How's Semispheres? Looks interesting but it also looks rather short.
Thank you for reading.
