Preordered the Mega Man Legacy Collections awhile back, downloaded the Sushi Striker demo and will also download the Mario Tennis Aces demo when it's on the eshop. Got the XC2 expansion pass back in December so I'll check out the new quests tomorrow.
Definitely want to get Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, will also download the Mario Aces demo to see if it's worth the purchase come June. Will also get the first Mega Man Collection. I am crap at the games so will not need to be buying the second just yet.
Wow Zen Bound is expensive for a very very old iPhone game.
Wow FIFA18 is cheap for a new-ish game that I guess nobody wants to play.
The Sushi Strikers demo should have been for 3DS too.Nintendo itself said that a lot of people still own ones,and many of them aren't going to spend 50 euros for that game without at least trying it first.
Is Hollow really that bad ? For 4.99€ I'm tempted to try but don't want a stain in my digital collection :')
Wow a lot of releases and only megaman and bloodstained seem to be of any intrest
Bloodstained for me and that's it.
Actually have touched the switch since march, too many ports lately, WiiU games AND indie ports.
Bloodstained will get me back to the system. I'll have a little look on the eshop, see if anything tickles me fancy.
Any goos side scrolling beatmups come out?
@terry93 I was wondering the same thing.
When i first saw it i wanted, but from some of the reviews it put me off. Anyone got any views?
Another bumper week. Got a few possibilities but need to see reviews.
Good price for FIFA (with the World Cup expansion imminent) and the terrific Steam World games
@riChchestM According to Nintendo fans on this site, FIFA 18 on Switch was a huge success.
I’ll probably pick up the Mega Man collection further down the line, and Street Fighter was shipped today, but nothing for me this week.
FIFA 18, aside from being digital, is a game which had its days numbered, as usual with annual sports games, and football/soccer leagues have finished already, so no one cares.
Steamworld Dig 2 is so going to have a retail version that I won't fall.
No Pixeljunk Monsters 2 is disappointing if it’s coming to US. Might try and download from the US eshop.
I'll download some demos but that's all, I don't really have enough money to spend on anything else
Hopefully we get a decent sale during E3!
@BigKing pretty sure it’s done over a million with physical and digital which is great for a Nintendo system. We will see at E3 if FIFA 19 is announced for switch then EA must be happy as let’s face it they wouldn’t bother if it wasn’t making money for them.
@Mr_Pepperami 'Great for a Nintendo system' is like saying 'he's friendly for a nazi'
Wait, Suhido is going to be 50€? How? It doesn't even look like a 30€ game!
I'm not buying any 2D platformers until I beat all the ones I already have on Switch and Inside on Steam. Or until Mega Man X Legacy Collection comes out...
Should Mario Tennis Aces not be in next weeks?
@Kosmo Some people on Youtube and other websites keep saying that its because it has a lot of levels and voice acting.It might be but I think its unlikely.
Couldn’t help myself and bought Bloodstained. It just looked too good. I now have that and both Megaman legacy’s to get through. That’s me done for a while......although Yoku’s island express comes out next week along with the street fighter collection, 😩
Am I right in thinking that you can play around offline in the Mario Tennis Aces demo to get a feel of the game before its proper online tournament??
The description says to "get warmed up" so i'm assuming so.
@Randomname19 agree it is bad form by Nintendo especially as 3ds appears to be the superior version (stylus control)
Anyone have any opinions on unholy heights? It is on sale for rest of today and Rogers base was raving about it.
@Kosmo They'll need to make their money back after paying for voice acting, a theme song and anime cutscenes.
To be honest I expected Nintendo to give it a higher price, but even they don't think it's a AAA game
Can't find Mario Tennis demo from the eShop. I wanted to download it in advance so I get to play it the moment they start testing online.
Hooooo-wheeee. That’s an almighty price hike on Steamworld Heist for Wii U...
Runner 3 seems really expensive. Runner 2 is £8 on Vita and I got it for £4 on sale. I’ll wait for a sale and hope it gets a decent discount
Only Ikaruga for me this week since DS Remastered was delayed. Will eventually get steamworld dig 2 on physical.
Wow Bloodstained is amazing and a love letter to Castlevania fans and everything form the NES games is in there, just ever so slightly redecorated, yes even Medusa heads. Branching paths, multiple characters, great music, looks great and a nice challenge so far. For those that like a gentler experience there is an easy mode with infinite lives and you don't get knocked back when hit, veteran mode for me though. Konami couldn't make a better Castlevania if they tried
No Burgertime ?
FIFA is tempting at that price
@MrMac
i noticed too.
very strange, 25% is no deal anyway.
you pay a average price of $20,- you pay $15. for old games that are cheaper on almost every other system.
nintendo has the most poopy deals of all.
looks like nintendo ask alot of money from developers, ti put these games on their server.
They should have bought this bloodstained out for the Wii U
That Bloodstained game is awesome!
How many games this week!?!?!?!?
Those math games are absolutely despicable. All they've done is change the mathematical symbol in each game and are demanding full price for each. Otherwise, the games are completely identical.
Worse still, each game's file size is exactly the same and to own all four will take up close to 2GB of space when it could have collectively consumed only 400MB instead.
Gotta love those 10% off deals.
Got Punch Club and Runner 3. That Mecha Storm game sounds intrigueing but the store page doesnt really offer much in terms of what the game is actually like.
Bloodstained for me, despite being a Kickstarter backer it seems 505 Games didn’t bother to order the codes for backers so I’ve just bought it. It’s only £9 and I want to support Inti Creates anyway after the masterful work they did last year with Mighty Gunvolt Burst and Blaster Master Zero. I’ll probably give my code away when I eventually get it.
@S4ndm4n everything on the eshop is expensive in the UK. Runner 3 is £8 on the Mexican eshop Store. The eshop sales are also a joke.
Already bought Runner 3 and Bloodstained. Two wonderful games for not too much money. And of course I'll try out the Mario Tennis Aces online tournament. And for those mildly interested in football, I can highly recommend FIFA18 for that price. The game is actually very good for a FIFA game on a Nintendo platform and I don't think the developers have gotten enough credit for making a solid Switch version. With the upcoming FREE DLC for the World Cup it's very good value for your money. I guess these discounts mean that we will get a new FIFA this fall as EA never discounted FIFA13 on the Wii U e-shop (that game is still $60!) and we never got any other FIFA after that...
Crypt of the Necrodancer seems interesting and maybe Aqua Kitty UDX.
@darthstuey £8!!! That’s a ridiculous price difference for us. I guess I could make another account for Mexico. It’s annoying to jump through these hoops because we get so ripped off in Europe
@riChchestM Fifa 18 has sold 0.80 million units on switch according to VGChartz. I think some people want to play it.
The Street Fighter collection is out this week in the US, but not in the UK. Most displeasing. Nintendo, enough with the regional absurdities.
@JoeDiddley We're getting it on the 30th.
@Moroboshi We are getting the game on the same day as the US. Just the eShop download updates have different days covered for their "week". Both regions are getting it on 29th May.
