Nice haul!

I'll be grabbing Pinball Arcade from the US eShop the second it hits

Still no sign of DRAGON BLAZE on the UK eShop 😢

@Lroy

I just created a US account for that exact reason

What an amazing game!

@monkeyspasm Thanks.
Really happy with these. The thought alone of having these games safe in case something happens to the digital versions is a bit of a relief for me.

I was actually thinking of creating a US account just to hold me over with the free table till the game releases in Europe, but I know I would then be tempted to buy the tables from there as well, so I don't think I'll do just that.
With the money I'll be putting in it when it comes out (280€ I think if it's €40 per season as I'm getting the pro versions of everything and that times 7), I really want all of that linked to my main account just to be sure. And It would help with getting a couple of golden coins as well.
Man, with all those tables, I'll be set for years to come when it comes to pinball games.

@Lroy Yeah, I'm thinking we'll get it next Thursday now. Real shame really.
This week could have been one of the best so far, but everything seems to be falling through at the last moment.

Just had an awesome face off with a RL opponent and made an unbelievable epic save right after.

@meppi64 If you're going to buy all the tables I'd recommend checking the prices on the Norwegian Eshop or South African. You'll likely save a fair bit. It won't be on your main account but you'll have a nice chunk of gold coins, probably around the equivalent of €14 to spend on another game or 2 . I've got accounts with those counties and Russia when it appears on there I'll check the prices for you. I reckon you can save at least €30, possibly more.

@OorWullie Ha! Ha! That was incredible 🙌

Pinball Arcade is live on the US eShop now

@OorWullie Haha, that was crazy! I wouldn't be surprised if he chucked his Switch again the wall after that. lol

And yeah, I know about the region trick, but truth be told, I'm just glad that Nintendo listened to us and decided to go with a complete region free setup, so I don't want to take advantage of it and possibly screw things up for future systems when they lose lots of money on that.
I know it sounds weird, but hey.
I do have a Japanese account though, but that's to buy games that don't come out over here at all.

SNK 40th Anniversary Collecxtion announced for Switch.

Ikari Warriors
Prehistoric Isle
Athena
P.O.W
Guerilla War
More to be announced.

Omg, being an arcade junkie gets better on Switch!

HOLY beep P.O.W , yes!

Please be BEAST BUSTERS as well.

@GrailUK Was just about to post that. Holy Crap!

They must be doing really well when it comes to classic releases.
Let's hope that Cave takes notice of this, as well as M2 and starts porting games to Switch. I'll buy them all!

BTW for people with a PS4 or XBone, Dangun Feveron is coming out in the west soon.
Got this on PS4 when it released in Japan and it's brilliant. So don't miss out.

Looking at the date, it should actually be out now.

@GrailUK Yeah, me too.
This system is without a doubt the best thing that could have happened to this hobby for me personally.

NISA are even bringing out a Limited Edition and everything.

I don't buy many LE's these days, but this one I must have.
(I have the Ys VIII one preordered as well from them)

@GrailUK holy crap what a heap of fantastic games! SOLD!

@RetroGamerAndrew I know right!
@meppi64 Dang. I was thinking digital tbh...but yeah that LE is tempting...

Bit more info:

@meppi64 Those SNK physical goodies look great, but I'd rather just have the games downloaded to my system. I also have pre-ordered the SE of Ys VIII and I'm also required by law to reply to anyone who mentions Ys VIII to tell them I looooove Ys VIII!
