Anybody played UnEpic? Is it worth the ten / fifteen odd bucks?

I played the PC version and I liked it a lot; be aware the game isn't shy about killing you though, so I would advise against playing on Hard off the bat.

Stick It To The Man is some sort of puzzle/adventure game... I'd never head of it, but it's been out on PC/PS3/Vita for a little while and the reviews are good.

This is a legit good game that has some neat stuff in it and doesn't overstay its welcome. Basically, you run around reading everybody's mind and then solving puzzles by finding and applying stickers to their thoughts. It has a very Psychonaut-y kinda vibe to it. ~~It's also very detailed, but I don't know how that will translate to the 3DS screen.~~whoops it's for WiiU i'm dumb, it'll look just dandy

How did you even end up with 195 coins? I thought everything was in denominations of 10.

Stuff like demos or whatever may only give you +5 coins for a survey.

I just got a reminder e-mail to select a Platinum reward, and is this right that there's no physical reward this time and just downloadables? :what:

Oh, that's a bummer. But I mean like, at half price, I'd probably get that much worth of enjoyment even if there isn't enough to the game to carry it to completion, right?

I'm still playing it, and most of the enjoyment comes from the writing and watching the ~~twitter feed~~grindcast of the adventurers as they go about their business; the actual weapon creation and polishing or whatever are kinda background tasks and just stuff you do while reading the stream

Nintendo finally enabled use of gold points on switch games in the eShop as of March 5:
https://my.nintendo.com/about_gold_point

tl;dr summary

1 gold point = 1 cent, so 200 gold points = 2 bucks off
You get gold points for purchases, which basically acts as a 5% rebate for eShop purchases and 1% rebate for physical Switch game purchases

Other details posted:

Important Information

Gold Points expire after 12 months on the last day of the month in which they were earned.

Purchases made on Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, or Wii U, or on Nintendo.com (where available), will automatically earn Gold Points based on 5% of the total paid amount (excluding any points or discounts used).

When purchasing retail package versions of Nintendo Switch software, points will be awarded when the software is registered via the HOME Menu on Nintendo Switch.

Purchases of Nintendo 3DS or Wii U DLC do not qualify to earn Gold Points. Additionally, subscriptions, passes, in-game items, or virtual currency do not qualify to earn Gold Points.

When redeeming a download code, Gold Points will be issued automatically.

Gold Points for physical Nintendo Switch software can only be claimed within one year of the game's original release date for countries in the North American and Australian regions, and within two years for the European region.

Gold Points can be used toward eligible digital game and DLC purchases for the Nintendo Switch system, excluding passes, automatic renewals, in-game items, and virtual currency.

they do say "on select switch games", so i don't know if this is going to be limited to like 2 games as per nintendo's usual

e: seems to work fine on a number of games so far!

Tried it randomly on Dragon Quest Builder. It had the option to use all 516 gold coins on it to knock that amount off in cash. No clue how large the limit is through, but at least it works on a more random game then just Mario x Rabbits.

I tried going to checkout on Golf Story, DQ Builder, and Resident Evil Revelations 2 (which is on sale) and it applied to all of them.

I have a feeling that the eShop is going to get an overhaul. The whole OS has felt like an open beta since the Switch was released.
