Nintendo Launches Black Friday Switch eShop Sale, Up To 90% Off (Europe)

Looks like now's the time to finally get Dead Cells for me. It's been on my wishlist for ages and I've yet to buy it.

Never any first party stuff on sale 😑

£4.24 for Dragon's Dogma is an absolute steal. Now's the time if you haven't got it.

I was as impressed as I thought I would be by this sale, not at all.

I've got $4 burning a hole in my Murican eShop wallet, ready to go.

Tell me this and tell me no more, any sign of de Blob on said sale?

Ah yes, the famous European holiday "Black Friday".

A shame this comes up just as Mario RPG and P5T release! I'll use the discount on eShop credit though.

@AmplifyMJ Not this week.

@Fizza Thank you. Contra and castlevania both 90% off. I might have missed them.

Dragon's Dogma, Moonlighter, and Little Nightmares are all more than worth it at those prices. Anyone who hasn't grabbed them yet should absolutely go for it. You also can't go wrong with Shovel Knight. That thing is like four games in one at this point.

@UltimateOtaku91 There's first party stuff on sale all the time actually. You've just chosen to look at a sale on one of the few times they aren't on sale. Just make a habit of checking the eShop at the end of every week from here on out.

I was hoping for Mario and Rabbids Sparks of Hope with DLC going down to 30 euros, but it’s 40. Still considering.

A fair few games on my Wish List of Jank have gone on sale lower than they have done before so I'll probably be picking up a few things.

Picked up Redout 2 deluxe and the Ghostbusters: remastered, been waiting on a nice deal on both of them as the discounts made more palatable as buys for games that decent but not amazing. Other than that I guess I will see if we get anymore new discounts next week.

@rSp8 Do I need to have played the first Dragon's Dogma?

@Andee The game on sale, Dark Arisen, is the first Dragons Dogma. There's only 1 game in the series currently available outside Japan, but there's a second game on the way

@Wool_Sheep thank you. At work just couldn’t check at the time lol. My daughter would love to play it again, we had it on Wii, I’d buy it again for Switch but not at full price.

@DrJoson Ah! Thanks for that — I thought that it was the sequel, or at least a 1.5 stopgap entry, a la Bravely Second

finally I have decided to buy showrunner, 25.98 for base game + 1 year expansion look good

@AmplifyMJ Everyone we gottem, we found one of the last remaining de blob fans out in the wild

Gotta check my wishlist. I'm hoping to pick up a few games during the holiday sales, but they gotta really drop in price!

Just checked. Nothing yet. Good for my wallet, and my backlock!

Of the game you have listed I have purchased all the ones I want which is the vast majority there!

Off my wishlist I will get:

Subnautica: Below Zero (£8.24!)
Trine 5
Convergence: League of Legends
Redout 2
Shovel Knight Dig
Super Bomberman R2
Sparks of Hope Rayman DLC

@Mauzuri Its 60% off bud...

@Andee it is the first (and only) game plus the expansion that was released for it

@Zeldinion lol it’s a GREAT little game, never played the apparently superior sequel, but we loved the original on Wii.

@Pillowpants Do it! I'm hoping Castlevania DLC is on the sale list. That's the one I'm missing.

@Magician Go on and get youslef sumtin' nice.

Only thing I want that is on my wishlist is Baten Kaitos 1 + 2 but I rather get it physical. Still Waiting on for Nintendo to put the Famicom detective games on sale.

Why does Europe have Black Friday?

@Ryu_Niiyama Sale bandwagon. Boxing Day sales weren't enough for capitalism.

North America sales are later than Europe territories as per usual..

@Ryu_Niiyama because we copy everything the Americans do. We also have the very popular Halloween, and yet everybody asks why are we doing it .. the marketing guys are just so powerful, it's amazing.

And they’ve gone and blocked my card and PayPal AGAIN.

@UltimateOtaku91 Just wait. Till tomorrow

@Andee This is the first. Go do it. Have fun

@Aventurier yup, for less than a fiver I could do a lot worse!

@Yalloo Past age 12, I can't remember a single time when I wanted something because I saw a commercial for it, nor do I know of anyone who consistently buys things because of them, yet somehow advertisers have kept doing things this way for decades and it's kept working.
That being said, Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays growing up, so I'm glad we managed to share it with the rest of the world, even if it was only done to sell candy and cheap costumes.

@UltimateOtaku91
Why would they? It keeps making money and there is no reason to make it cheaper than what people are paying for.

@Ryu_Niiyama Same reason Europeans are soon to start celebrating Thanksgiving. And 4th of July in the future too I guess.

I'm desperately waitingbfornFamicon detective to finally drop! If it ever does I'm on it like a Puma! 😂😁

@Olliemar28 Could you at least show the euro prices next to the pound prices? You wrote it as a more generic news item about "European" eShop sales, but the prices only apply to UK.

These sales aren't just for the great deals, also helps me realise games that I've forgotten. Think I got Dragons Dogma on similar deal a couple years back and never really played it, it's about time I got back into it as it was really enjoyable.

Damn great price for Sonic Frontiers, but I rather get it on the ps5

When does the US sale start?

@Mauzuri I thought you said Frontiers 🤦🏻‍♂️, mb.
Yeah wait for a big sale, I got it full price and played it for 4 hours and then put it down (still havent beat it)

@Mauzuri it’s literally just came out! I got it from eBay brand new for £35 which I thought was a bargain

@Mauzuri frontiers is pretty rubbish on the switch. Play it elsewhere if you can

@Mauzuri The performance isnt too bad imo (idrc about performance unless its atrociously bad which i dont think frontiers is)

@Mauzuri Good for you!! I hope you enjoy as I did.
Superstars so far is worth 30-40$ lol

@Mauzuri I saw on the Sonic the hedgehog insta that they are discounting Sonic Superstars!!! You should check it out!
