Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is only 15 bucks on the Eshop. Is it worth playing if I was a huge DBZ fan as a kid?
There is a demo, which I didnāt really enjoy, but the real turn off to me is the insane amount of DLCs (Koei levels, we are talking hundreds of dollars), two of which was the original, necessary anime soundtrack for 15 bucks each
FWIW, most of the DLC is also on sale. I believe you can pick up all of the non-music DLC for $35.
That just made it a hard pass for me. I loath predatory dlc.
Bloodstained seems like a bit of a mess, performance-wise, but meanwhile, Timespinner is pure 2D, and about as Symphony of the Night as itās possible to be.

The writing is pretty mediocre, self-serious noun-heavy game writing. And the visuals may not be universally appealing. But the game itself is pure SotN, down to the āRelicsā menu option and the Level Up popup animations.
This is cute.
It feels more like a lost / never translated Famicom game than most things that try to do that.
Seems word that thereās no Mario maker 2 threadā¦ Although, it seems like switch games often donāt get their own threads.
Regardless, hereās this.
I just watched my 7 year old son and his best friend play Mario Maker 2, couch co op, after a day of swimming. They built a level together for some time, played it, then dove into course not to play a level together. 10/10, this is what gaming is meant to be.
Couch co-op is the best. For the King with my kids & their friends is awesome.
I want Mario Maker 2, but I know whatās going to happen to my time when Fire Emblem comes out, and Slay the Spire has me right nowā¦
Reminder the Nintendo Switch $100 for 2 games vouchers are only available until the end of July. There are several big upcoming games eligible for these vouchers including PokƩmon Sword and Shield, the next Zelda game, and the just out Mario Maker 2. You also get 500 gold coins (5% back).
Buy Nintendo eShop gift cards using the Amazon Prime Store card or Target Red Card to save 5%. Just remember most states charge tax on these vouchers.
Combining all the savings gets you two brand new Nintendo games for $45 each - an unheard of discount.
Thanks, good deal. Will probably get this for fire emblem/animal crossing (assuming itās eligble)
There are two Fire Emblem games in the list, but I donāt see Animal Crossing listed. I suspect that oneās too far off to be included in the program.

Iāve already bought one pair of vouchers, and redeemed one for Mario Maker 2. Iāve got my eye on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Dragon Quest, and Linkās Awakening (all eligible), so Iām tempted to buy a second pair. Just a little nervous since thereās no guarantees MUA3 will be any good, or that the Switch version of DQ will end up being the one I want.
Are the vouchers codes or stuck to your account? I want to get Mario Maker 2 for both my daughter and myself so I didnāt know if I can do that with one set of vouchers.
Stuck in your account.
Random bits from the FAQ that seem worth mentioning:
- The vouchers expire after one year.
- You must be a Nintendo Online subscriber to purchase the vouchers and to redeem them. If your subscription expires you can later resubscribe and still use unclaimed vouchers if they havenāt expired, but you have to be an active subscriber to redeem them.
- You can buy up to 8 vouchers at once.
- It says they will add more eligible games later, but no indication of when or what games.
- You donāt have to redeem both vouchers at once.
Yeah, the vouchers should be valid past the release date so Iām hoping that itāll be added to the list when it comes. Iām interested in Three Houses regardless.
I canāt bring myself to buy digital on the Switch. Nintendoās rights management and game sharing is pretty bad, and a generation behind what Xbox is doing.
I canāt share games with my son unless I buy carriages and give him the cartridge. It wasnāt too long ago he could not use Minecraft on the Switch without signing in with my account and playing as me. They fixed that at least, but right now Mario Maker is a pain in the ass. He canāt use his account to play because mine is the one with Nintendo Online. So, course world is completely unavailable to him.
Damn, I just picked up Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Maker 2 for a summer vacation treat for my daughters. Couldāve saved $20!
Same, I buy almost everything physical on Switch for this reason, except for crazy sales or cheap indie games.
Iām generally the reverse. Since the system is portable, thereās always a chance of it or games getting lost or stolen, and I like knowing that I could just redownload rather than being out the cost of the game.
Plus, it usually works out to be substantially cheaper, between 1) no sales tax, 2) gold point cash-back, and 3) occasional āpay $40 for a $50 eShop cardā deals.
I only have one system so far and havenāt tried to do game sharing, though. Whatās the issue with it?
Yeah, my sisterās family had their Switch stolen during a break-in, but since I had recommended going all digital on the platform we were able to recover all their games once a replacement was bought.
