Hello,

so I have quite a dumb request but perhaps someone knows..

Do you know of a game that gets frequently discounted? Like there is sale one week, the sale ends and another week the same game is on sale again.

I need this to test something.

Thanks 🙏

Cars 3 has been on sale every single day for about 6 years now for about 80-90 % off. It’s usually 7 dollars CA, a handful of dollars American I assume. 4 bucks?

final fantasy 8 has an extremely regular pattern of sale for a couple weeks then no sale for a few weeks and repeat. Honestly a ton of the Square Enix games do. I always wondered if Nintendo has a rule where you can't be on sale for more than a particular percentage of the time.

On my wishlist, there are some titles I consistently see on sale for the same price cuts.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is frequently 75% off (£34.99 -> £8.74).
Neon Abyss is often 70% off (£14.99 -> £4.79).
The Longing is often 25% off (£13.49 -> £10.11).

The site is a good way to browse for sales, there's some good stuff that sometimes gets pretty heavy price cuts.

Cars 3 is an interesting example; I glanced at it when it wasn't on sale. According to deku it is constantly going back and forth between sale amd non sale. eShop sales seem to have a maximum amount of time, so there may be some short cool-down in-between. No clue if it depends on country.

@nemecek_f oh nice! Good luck with the app. I look forward to when you launch it.

@Ironcore It is actually out since April 2021, but I am continually working on new features and additions 🙂 I do the iOS version (https://apps.apple.com/app/switchbuddy/id1563251210) and my friend makes the Android one - but this one doesn't yet have the price checking.

In addition to what "MarioBrickLayer" said, if you are willing to sign-up, DekuDeals is really helpful in keeping a clear overview of the games you are interested in. I think they send you an email everytime a game (or more games if they went on sale at the same time) on your wishlist go(es) on sale (both digitally and physically) and a weekly email with all the games that went on sale in the eshop that week.

Gaming since the early nin(e)ties and probably will until death does me apart :) .
Looking forward till the day we can game with all of our senses.

Garfield Lasagna Party 40% off until 7/27

I was going to get it but other things came up so going to wait until it goes on sale again~ 🤷‍♀️ It's went on sale a few times before already. Just put the games you want on the wishlist in the eshop and if you check the wishlist in the eshop each day you'll see certain games will eventually go on sale~ 🤷‍♀️

Happy Gaming! (^_^)

My guess is they don't want publishers to use artificial sales to achieve permanent residency on the eShop's Great Deals page.
