Anyone got any websites to compare discounts against cdkeys to buy eshop vouchers cheaper?
Is there an upcoming eshop sale? Im looking to get bayonetta origins on sale, I know it’s pretty rare to see it on discount but I believe I have already seen it once go for 40$…
Im in Germany Right now and I have a pound e-Shop card. Can I use it in Germany?
Ποιο διαφημιστικό κανάλι είναι πιο αποτελεσματικό στην προβολή e-shop? Google, Facebook Instagram κτλ Πιο θα αποδώσει περισσότερο με τα ίδια χρήματα;
I have a Splatoon 2 cartridge from the US but my eshop is EUR. I got the expansion pass and I can use the Mario Kart DLC because the cartridge is European. But I can't with Splatoon. Is there anyway around this?
Is it still possible to download 3ds games with a digital code via nintendo.com/redeem? I realize that it's probably just wishful thinking but I thought I'd ask anyways.
Everyone who browses the cheap end of the eShop must have seen some of these by now: Switch 'shovelware' apps in the $1-3 range which almost no one on Earth would ever want a Switch to do, like "Sports Stopwatch" and "Note pad" and "Alarm Clock"... and it's always "Alarm Clock, Super Extra Deluxe Plus+++ Edition!" or something like that.
It seems like the simplest explanation is that they're re-releasing essentially the same software over and over, maybe with different skins or wallpapers, with a different "Extra Super Newer Edition: Directors Cut" tag on it each time, in order to keep pushing their stuff into the "Recent Releases" page. Charitably, maybe they're just hoping for impulse-buys from people who are on indiscriminate eShopping sprees. Or less charitably, maybe they're just hoping for accidental purchases by people who are sitting on the controller. (They probably aren't making their money off people who sincerely want to use their switch as an alarm clock or a word processor, I feel pretty confident of that.)
The worst offender for this that I've seen is a developer/publisher called 'RedDeer.Games', but there's a few others in there too.
Anyone else noticed this? Do you know what the Nintendo publishing policy is which allows this to go on? Who wants to go form a pitchfork mob and demand an end to this mildly annoying practice? Rabble rabble rabble.
i remember back in april they changed the eshop color from orange to red. it was like that until now. now it's orange again. i kinda miss the red.
The game won’t open and I see that it and other Johnny Turbo games aren’t in the eShop anymore.
Hello, I just bought a 3DS and also recently knew the eshop is shut down. If I buy a new Pokémon Blue for 3DS will it work?
So I got the urge to play fifa 23 on the switch again but when I went to redownload it I couldn’t find it. With a simple google search I found out that all fifa games from 14-23 have been removed from the eshop. This actually makes me mad because I paid for the game and cant play it anymore.
Is there anything I can or should do ?
So I am in the UK I have a UK region account and recently made a separate USA region account. I want to buy a game on the USA eshop. What sites can I use (eg. Playasia, cdkeys) to pay UK Money and get a USA eshop card will I be able to redeem it on my USA account? Some sites say can redeem in UK but I guess that just means my UK account and not my actual country? Thanks.
I've have a habit of looking around the discount section and not always buying much anything but I see some things for dirt cheap, I'm just not sure if they are good or relatable, I really like a game with good replayability, or something long to keep me busy, you know, get my money/times worth, I saw steameorld dig2 on discount and I've heard good things of that game, so in short, what are some discount games you'd recomend (score based, long or pretty replayable)
Is there a way to have Nintendo email you when something on your wishlist goes on sale? Steam does it, so I figured Nintendo might have a way to do it as well.
I just found a publisher by the name HAMSTER on the Switch eShop that seems to be uploading game ports of older retro titles, mostly arcade and NES titles. I'm curious as to the legality this. Some examples of games they have published are the original Super Mario, Donkey Kong, the Metal Slug games, and King of Fighters.
So, my switch online renewed today, and I got two seperate emails saying it put 16.84 into my account before charging me for the online (21.64). My funds are at 0 now, but I believed I had the remainder of funds for the online cost, so does anyone know if this just means nintendo took the remainder of the funds i would need from my card and then the payment went through for it.
I bought several games from argentina E-shop. After a few days Nintendo refunded some amount of money to my account . I think it's the tax that getting refunded but Im not so sure. What is this money getting refunded and will I get some of my money for every game I'll buy
My debit card recently expired and after activating my new one, I went to change it on my switch. Whenever I try to change it, I get the error code “2813-0119”. After looking it up the only solutions provided by Nintendo were to restart the eShop, which I have already tried, or to use another card or PayPal, neither of which I have.
If anyone else has encountered this issue, please let me know how it was fixed!
I had a paypal account linked to my nintendo account, so I know it used to be possible to pay with paypal on the Nintendo online store. But I logged in today and noticed that Paypal was no longer listed as a possible Payment Method when I try to check out. I see Visa and Mastercard but not Paypal. Anybody else not seeing Paypal on the Payment Method list or is it just me?
Has anyone else encountered this situation? I was trying to but Let's Build a Zoo, but when confirming the purchase the error code 2813-5301 (server maintenance ) comes up, i tried buying a different game but to no avail, same error code keeps poping out. Its's been like this for like 3 days and there's no ongoing maintenance that I'm aware of.
Cant find any info about it online. Does anyone know what to do?
Hey yall!! I was gonna purchase Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island today to play, since it comes out today, but it says the game is still unavailable? Is there a specific release time I’m to wait for? I couldn’t find anything on Google and I just wanna be a pretty princess 😭😭😭
Thank you
