Why is the UK eShop so expensive Jesus Christ :psyduck:

Rhetorical question that I know is probably posted about twice a page, but I cannot get over it. I'd save a few quid per game just by switching within my region to the Euro-store. I don't want to do it because I am irrationally afraid of loving up and losing my funds and/or games. Jesus.

Whoa, this is really awesome. Yeah, I really love the extra work they put in to make it seem like a travel guide instead of a game guide. Very nice flavor.

Remember, Earthbound was unique in that the game was sold in a huge box that included the guide with it. So it wasn't even like some add-on thing. That's pretty awesome.

I dunno about older console games, but this sort of thing was huge around that time in PC gaming. It was just standard for boxes to come with maps, "feelies", guides, hintbooks, all sorts of cool additional stuff that really immersed you in the game before you even started playing. Nowadays, you're lucky to find a game for any platform that comes with a manual that's more than just a sheet of paper giving you the URL for a controls reference sheet :smith:

Four Swords isn't even on the EU eShop. Has Nintendo just completely forgotten that we exist again? With the delays and lack of ports on games and the complete lack of decent eShop sales, promotions and pricing, it's beginning to feel like the loving N64 days all over again. :sigh:

Will I get my Super Mario Bros eShop code if I registered in December but forgot to validate the email address until, um, ten minutes ago?

so is Liberation Maiden worth £2.80? Heard it was really short and overly anime, but £2.80.

Please play DK 94, such a great, tight little game that nobody remembers.

Any UK goons unable to access the page for the free game winter promotion? Club Nintendo's site works fine generally, but the 3DS bonus page just does this. I want my Zelda :(

Hi thread. I have 300 coins to spend (I only own a 3ds) and I'm thinking about one of these downloadable titles: Sakura Samurai, Harmo Knight, or Fluidity. Are they worth it? How about Dillon's Rolling Western? It's hard for me to decide if I should get one of these or if I should just get two classic GB games for 150 each.
Sakura Samurai is v lightweight but it's drat good fun for an afternoon

Might be able to go into recovery and get it back up to 10.6
nope, recovery mode won't launch. Well, she lost my old 3DS which is why I got a New in the first place, so we're even now.

so my horrible girlfriend got me a Waluigi Amiibo for Christmas (and, less horribly but not making up for it, a Wooly Yoshi Amiibo). What the hell can I actually do with these? I assume Yoshi will do stuff in Yoshi's Wooly World but I scanned Waluigi into Hyrule Warriors and he gave me milk and I don't want Waluigi milk.

You can apologise for calling your girlfriend horrible.
never.

Woolly World will take just about any amiibo and knit it into a Yoshi skin. Try using your Waluigi amiibo in the amiibo hut.
oh lord. That'll be good

It's me I'm the girlfriend and I deserve a partner who knows that the plural of amiibo is "amiibo"
It's not a real word. It can have any plural I want

With the Switch in a month, probably nobody. Why buy eshop games at this point if they are not going to transfer over to it.
