The Switch eShop is always running some kind of sale, it’s one of the main tabs on the eShop menu. There’s a lot of rubbish on sale always, but if there’s something (non Nintendo first party) you want, it’s probably been discounted 15%-25% off in the past year.
Even Nintendo first party stuff is being discounted occasionally these days, they seem to do theme months.
There’s definitely a thing where obscure games do deep discounts just to get featured in the sale section. I wouldn’t say they’re “fake” discounts though, not many things are ever on “permanent discount” that I’ve seen. (Maybe Nintendo limits it?)
Last night I picked up two Steamworld games and Bastion each for less than 3 or 4 dollars. That’s some amazing good value. Also very tempted by FF12 for $29
Qubic Games, Blowfish Studio, Merge Games are but a few of the publishers that rotate every two weeks half their catalogue at 90% off. Other than that spam, some have also the practice of selling at 90% off a game they sell for 25 bucks, while you can spot them on other platforms by different publishers at 9$. Anything goes on the eShop.
I’ll also point out that the wishlist feature on the eShop works pretty well, especially now that they e-mail you when something on your list goes on sale.
Under the purchase button on a games page should be “Add to wishlist”. To actually access your wishlist you have to click on your profile picture in the upper right hand corner of the eShop.
I loved that about the DS Lite! Would close a game up and pick right back up from where I left off weeks later. On the 3DS? Depleted battery after a couple of days.
I haven’t played it, but that’s because every other Tokyo RPG Factory game has been mediocre at best. I haven’t heard anything that would imply they’ve learned to be any better.
I lost interest and didn’t bother to finish… the demo. It gave off an overwhelming vibe of generic also-ran PS1 JRPG. Maybe it gets better, or maybe you’re feeling nostalgic for the likes of Legend of Dragoon, but I didn’t see anything that piqued my interest in the bit I played.
thanks, got the original Crypt of the Necrodancer and Jotun Valhalla edition … I am already building a backlog.
Also the Sw Lite is now my official Souls machine!
OK, after 3 weeks I noticed yesterday night an issue with the left control stick during Golf Story. When I setup a ball, the aiming line/arc drifted on his own to the right!
it only happened when I made small adjustments with the left stick controlling the aim.
I went to the console settings stick calibration, and there I could see that if I do small adjustments to the right, the dot on the screen stays right of the center, causing a drift in game. It snaps back to the center if I nudge the stick a bit, but I could definitely reproduce it . Tried this with the right stick, but it was OK.
I thought, that maybe when I turned on the switch a couple of minutes before, after I inserted a new memory card, that the left stick was a bit off center, so I turned it off and on again, didn’t help.
I recalibrated the stick a couple of times and it looks like now I cannot reproduce it anymore. But a warning shot has been fired, thanks Nintendo! I will be paranoid now concerning the left stick …
Why is there no dead zone calibration and what does the included calbibration really do?
