Posted November 25, 2012 In Japan, yeah...but not sure about elsewhere Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is $5 cheaper on the eShop in the US than the retail version ($55 vs $60) Ok that's not much of a saving, but it's still a saving! (if you add on cashback from that DD programme back though, you're actually netting $10.50 in savings ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2012 But wouldn't such an agreement violate competition law? It's not that it's a formal agreement, it's just not in Nintendo's interest to piss off the retailers that sell their consoles. That's the reason why they started that download card programme where retailers could set whatever price they wanted for them (which for some utterly stupid reason hasn't been made available outside Japan ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 26, 2012 Bullshit. @Wii assures me file size is directly related to a games quality That's not what I said, I said it can be indicative of the level of effort that went into a game as well as other factors, it depends on the game. Are all the games from N64 and prior crap? They all have small file sizes, right? I don't think so. But hey, well done to you for stirring the pot after everything that was said earlier.

Posted November 29, 2012 eShop Demo's N-Europe @N_Europe Nintendo UK has confirmed eShop will have Trine 2, Puddle, Nano Assault, Little Inferno, Chasing Aurora and Fifa 13 demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 Hmmm only saw the Fifa demo earlier, will check again later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 I'll gladly give the Trine 2 & FIFA 13 demo's a go later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 No, I think it's saying all those games are on the service, and the fifa demo. Not that they're all demos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 29, 2012 Can someone give me some indication of eShop pricesfor retail games? Are they RRP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 The only one I checked was ZombiU and it was £55 :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 Can someone give me some indication of eShop pricesfor retail games? Are they RRP? They will be RRP. Bearing in mind that RRP are hilariously high in the UK. Interesting to see whether publishers will exercise the ability to have their own sales when they realise the market for £59.99 007 Legends is perhaps not as large as they'd have liked.

Interesting to see whether publishers will exercise the ability to have their own sales when they realise the market for £59.99 007 Legends is perhaps not as large as they'd have liked. Yeah true. The eShop is especially useless for retail games here in the UK since absolutely nobody charges the full RRP on games here (not even B&M stores, let alone online shops, which are cheaper still!)

Posted November 30, 2012 All I can see on the demos screen is FIFA 13. And I'm not sure that's a demo - just gives me the option to buy the game. Where's Rayman Legends, damnit?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
