Ike Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 You aren't normally able to buy from a region where your card wasn't from, I can't use my card on the Japanese eShop despite being able to on the 3DS. I guess your card was an outlier that they "fixed" recently.
ArtMediocre Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Yep, with the japanese account I need to buy Nintendo Points from a provider of this, i.e. Play Asia. It sucks, but atleast there is a way to work around the different regions now. On another note; @MindFreak, er du Dansk?!
MindFreak Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Well, that sucks. I wanted to get Enter the Gungeon from the Mexican eShop, it's really cheap there - about £4.5. It's not a game I really want but at that price I wanted to try it out. Won't be buying it then as I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a PayPal account for this. @ArtMediocre, Ja, jeg bor i København. Edited March 18, 2018 by MindFreak

It's 249 roubles on there, about £3. 1

And it went through. It's probably something about the credit card being European and Russia being in Europe. So that's good enough for me. 1

Rob3008 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Nintendo in decent sale shocker! I'd buy Doom and Skyrim at that price if they were the physical copies...
Dcubed Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Hey there. Was just chatting with a friend about the insane, meteoric rise of indie titles on Switch and got interested in looking at how it compares to past Nintendo consoles. I reckon that our napkin math makes for some interesting discussion... From playing around with the different shop search features, discounting VC releases, duplicate listings for alternate versions and demos on 3DS and in removing all games that were originally designed for retail (so indie games that later got limited retail releases are still counted), here are the results! Digital exclusive downloadable games available in Europe... WiiWare = 281 DSiWare = 427 3DS (including New3DS exclusive releases) = 546 Wii U = 506 Switch = 497 So, come tomorrow, Switch will likely surpass Wii U’s lifetime total number of games, just a year after launch! Absolutely nutso! TBH, what shocked me most was seeing how high DSiWare was and how low the 3DS eShop was for exclusive titles! The 3DS got absolutely horrible support for how successful it ended up being! To the point where Switch will end up surpassing its lifetime total in just a few short weeks! Just goes to show the power of having good development tools and native support for modern game engines! 1

ArtMediocre Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) No wonder the Switch eShop is hard to navigate. Thankfully there will be an update soon that will focus on this issue. Edited March 21, 2018 by ArtMediocre
Julius Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 A custom, Wolfenstein II-inspired Switch is going to be given away by Bethesda. And it looks pretty sleek. Details on the giveaway. 1
DuD Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Is £36.50 a decent price for a SanDisk 128gb microSD? Does anyone recommend a different brand or know of a better price? Samsung EVO plus 128gb £29.99? Edited March 22, 2018 by DuD
Julius Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Nintendo’s E3 2018 site is up, and it’s just as sleek as it was last year.
BowserBasher Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Quick question. Can you move data from the system memory to an SD card easily? I know there is the option to move photos and videos, but Han you move downloaded games? I’ve finally got a decent sized card and want to move some over.

You have to delete them from the system memory and redownload them with the SD card inserted. 1

Sméagol Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 The (limited) physical version of Thimbleweed park will go on sale in less than 2 days. https://limitedrungames.com/products/thimbleweed-park-switch I may actually go for it, though I'll probably get the normal version in this case. 1
Ganepark32 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Footage of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is doing the rounds as Nintendo have a demo of it at their booth at PAX East. Looks good. Panic Button again soon the port and it noticeably looks like a step above the work done on the DOOM port. Will be interesting to see how it handles some of the more open levels later in the game as I imagine it'll take a bit frame rate wise, especially with the number of enemies when alarms are broadcast or when some of the larger enemies appear. Still, looking decent for those who'll pick it up. I finished it recently on PS4 and it was a good game (tho I think I'm more partial to the first, the second didn't have that wow moment I didn't feel. Nothing akin to the moon level in the first, even if it has it's own absurd twist on interplanetary locations). Still think Bethesda should bring the Dishonored games over. I'd happily double dip on them. 1
RedShell Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Impressive stuff. Not my cup of tea (struggled to even get through the demo on PS4 ) but seems like it’s going to be yet another decent port for Switch.
Sméagol Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Apparently there's a remake of the first Disgaea coming to Switch. https://nintendoeverything.com/disgaea-remake-confirmed-for-switch-as-disgaea-refine-out-on-july-26/ Which may help me, as while I like what I've played so far of 5, the options are absolutely overwhelming, so I haven't exactly played much of it. 2
