Nintendo Download: 28th May (Europe)

Splatoon (retail) for me!

No downloads for me this week but have a copy of Splatoon on the way. Hopefully it will be here Thursday!

SPLATOON SPLATOON SPLATOON SPLATOON SPLATOON! And that's it for me.

If one has since deleted the Splatoon Global Testfire demo from my console will I still get the discount?

Splatoon for me! Disc of course. And the boy and girl Amiibo too

Splatoon retail for me

@TimeFart you should be ok as the download is tied to your nnid. Im pretty sure you'll be fine as it will be in your download history.
Splatoon retail for me this week, cant wait!!

physical splatoon this week (hopefully, funds are a little tight)

Splatoon review, please.

Nothing to download this week (busy making my way through my rather sizeable VC backlog) but have a physical copy of Splatoon on preorder.

I can't wait to play Yoshi (⊙＿⊙)

Splatooooooon!!! Can you preorder on the eShop now? NA can already predownload since last week. Also no Splatoon free theme?

Splatoon! Nintendostore have dispatched mine yay!

Splatoon! At a lovely price point, too!

I'll be travelling to Laos PDR tomorrow and wont be back till Friday evening but I've pre ordered a Splatoon download code so it will be there for me coming back.Got my digital code for £26,bargain!

SPLATOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

My archaic internet set up precludes me from Splatoon - at least until I see a review of the single player content.

So nothing for me.

I will hold off any purchases until july comes for the glory of pummeling badguys in the face with my bare knuckle on the streets of rage! Grand upper!!!

I'll be downloading Splatoon on next Tuesday (pay day). Thankfully still within the 10% discount time frame. Can't wait! I'll pick up that Splatoon theme too to get hyped for the game

Getting the special tshirt set of Splatoon with the green Inkling from Nintendo store so i chose the theme (it would be rude not to!) Also, i'm not deleting the testfire demo in case they have an added bonus. Some games do if you've played their demo. I doubt we will but it's always worth a shot!

I'd love the Splatoon theme, but as usual, I refuse to pay £1.80 for a theme.

Little Ninja Brothers sounds interesting, will read up on that. Had email confirmation that pre-order of Splatoon is on its way!! No discounts grab my attention.

Nothing for 3DS this week aside from that dinosaur game. I am a sad Mudkip.

Splatoon retail and Splatoon 3DS theme!

That said, the Wii U VC this week is pathetic, where's MMBN3 and MM&B.

@Kaze_Memaryu - There it is, youre avatar looks naked w/o it.

Splatoon on Wii U and Fossil Fighters on 3DS being the same price means either everybody is underpaying for Splatoon or overpaying for FF. Include the 10% Splatoon discont and its even more lopsided.

Ill probably pay my $60 on Friday - Target will probably have it displayed today but the register wont let me buy it - but Im still annoyed about the overseas price differential.

Wont be downloading anything though.

I still don't get why Splatoon is so much cheaper in Europe and yet, full $59.99 (or $69.99 in Canada) across the Atlantic... Seriously, favoritism much Nintendo? We feel like the child you don't care about over here. And before people tell me that their currency is worth more so it's cheaper, €39.99 is $43.73USD and $54.07CAD so you're paying less after taxes than what we are even before them.

are nintendo mad when it comes to the 3ds? release some games for the virtual console!!!!!!!!!!!!! its like they dont wanna make easy money,

Splatoon retail obviously! I've also got the three amiibo ordered with the strategy guide and the beanie to wear while playing! So I'm ready to Splat!!

Splatoon!!!

What @Tsurii897 said

What a terrible week, could have thrown in an N64 or Wii classic for those of us not interested in Splatoon!

Splatoon is an anagram of Stool Pan, coincidence? I think not!

Well nothing for me, plus if i had a wii u it would be much better.
Im saving up for NEW nintendo 3ds.

Another week of nothing, not even some cool VC releases. Tested the Splatoon-demo, but the online bit doesn't interest me - I'll wait for a proper review of the offline part. Kinda tired of Splatoon after all the hype, already feels like an old game.

Wow, this was late.

Getting Splatoon on disc, it propably arrives tomorrow since they sent it this morning. And still no AVGN Adventures, of couse.

35€/40€ for Splatoon? How is it that then, that it is $70 in CA?

@ikki5
Who know, maybe Nintendo of Europe are not very satisfied for gamer in Europe paying £50/€50 with most of their wii u game

I might get splatoon, maybe with yoshi woolly world when Yoshi woolly world release in Europe. So not this week.

@DEAD so that means they should get them a lot cheaper than other places? That seems like Nintendo is just giving us the finger.

Depending on how that Splatoon Theme looks and sounds i might pick that one up.

i don't live in EU/UK Regions, but i went ahead and vote for Splatoon

@admin

I suppose there is a copy/paste error in the promotion for Space Lift Danger Panic!, given it should be discounted if you purchased another title and not that precise one

Blok drop x twisted fusion for me as it'll be dirt cheap. Spatoon wise, I've got the physical+squid pack pre ordered so no download but suits me as I'm buying it for the 1 player and local multiplayer so I could still trade it in if it doesn't make the grade.....

I wonder if there's a reason we aren't getting the culture brain virtual console games in na?

I'm getting Splatoon on disc so nothing for me.

Not interested in Splatoon at all. I've tried to get excited about online gaming but it seems that I'm just too old-school for that. I played MK8 for a couple of weeks online and then couldn't bother with it anymore. To me it's sad to see gaming slowly sliding more and more into that.

Still don't know why Splatoon is so cheap in Europe. Even with current exchange rates it makes the game $43 USD.

If Little Ninja Brothers is what I think it is, all I can say is damn, I did not see that coming and it will be a day 1 purchase for me. I played that back when I was a kid and I remember it being a ton of fun. I love the old games coming back on wii u.

Just splatoon for me.

Man I wish we got that Splatoon discount in North America. I'm gonna buy it, but it's starting to feel like every Wii U game I buy is $5 more than the last.

@ThomasBW84 Like @OniinSide pointed out, there is a problem with this part of the update.

Space Lift Danger Panic! (Spring Loaded, €1.65 / £1.29 until 4th June, €0.80 / £0.65 until 4th June for users who have already downloaded Space Lift Danger Panic! with the same Nintendo Network ID - normally €2.49/ £1.99)

How do you buy the same downloadable game twice on the same console with the same NNID?

@ikki5 Agreed. This is some hard-core Bull poo poo.

@Savino
Jose Otero from IGN said we'll expect the review on the 27th. That said, you'll get mostly a review in progress even on Nintendo Life since they'll test the online functionality on launch first before finalizing the review.

It would be Splatoon that I'd download, but I had to buy a physical copy to get the Squid amiibo

UPDATE: those thieves got it instead...

definitely getting splatoon this week , might also try to snag that splatoon themed squirt gun at target.

@ThomasBW84 "available from 29th May."

That's confusing, so will the Splatoon Download be available from 28th and the game can be played from the 29th on or will the Download be available from 29th?

@SanderEvers Thanks

No downloads for me... but I have Splatoon on pre-order, so I'm going to be pretty darned busy.

@ikki5 ONCE there is a game cheaper in Europe than in NA and you are getting the finger, lol. If you are jealous of European prices I invite you to come over and enjoy the great prices for amiibo (over CDN$ 20 each, which is a third more than the price you pay!) or other games.
Overall NA is still the region of the whole Western world with the cheapest video game prices; and that's including Canada. Get some perspective and stop the whining, geez.

@scamander I hate to bust your bubble but aside from the UK, Most of Europeans prices are on par with Canadian. With our dollar dropping as it is and our games going to 69.99$, we are paying $80.49 to your equivalent $81.19CAD. So you're paying a whole $0.70 more than we are and you have 5-7% higher taxes than we do. The illusion of taxes included in your prices vs taxes not include in ours makes it seem like you're paying more. And when our games were $64.99 and our dollar was stronger, it was about the same still only you were paying about $1.50 more. If they took the base price of your games and matched them with Canada, you'd have more than a $0.70 difference. You technically have a better deal than Canadians so no, what you said does not include Canadians. The only way for it to be a worse deal for you now is if our games go back to $64.99 and our dollar strength remains the same or worsens. As for Amiibo, yes, you are paying a bit more however, they are not a third of what we pay as we pay $18.50 for an amiibo to your $20.25 which puts them at about $1.75 more which is hardly a 3rd of the cost. Try about 8.6% cheaper, pretty big difference there.

@ikki5 All the available amiibo on amazon.ca are about $14. And the only reason the difference with games is so small right now, is because the Euro dropped significantly the last few months. It's not always been that way. Games on other consoles are 70€ btw. So yes, even now you have it cheaper most of the time.

Looking forward to playing Splatoon this week

@scamander I don't shop on Amazon because the shipping puts the price over what you'd get in stores anyway because 90% of the time, we have to pay shipping on it. As for the other consoles? This is Nintendo, I don't care about the other consoles, this is like comparing apples to oranges as they are two separate companies. Seriously, people need to stop talking about the other consoles like when one consoles does something, it justifies what happen to X on another console.

As for the Euro dropping... guess what... the Canadian dollar has been doing to same... The prices in Canada have always been higher than what the US has been for this console generation meaning that if it was 59.99 for you, it was 64.99 for us and even then after the exchange, Canadians almost always paid similar to the European prices. European prices were usually a little higher though, maybe 1-2, $3 max when it came to games on Nintendo however, your taxes are higher to naturally, you'd expect to pay a little more. Even when our dollar was on par with the US, we still paid a little more. If you really want to go back to when we are actually substantially cheaper, then you'll need to go back to around 2008 or before.

Splatoon and High Strangeness! Maybe the RCMADIAX sales. Have all the others.

Will wait for Splatoon to actually be finished before paying full price. The inability to make lobbies with friends at launch is unacceptable. Plus, between now and August I'm sure Amazon will have a price drop.

Nothing for me this week as I preordered Splatoon retail, after all this hype and those fun testfire I'll surely being busy the weekend with Splatoon alone, no need to download anything else XD

I'm unaware of German public holidays, it's just a random coincidence this year or a lot of them just happen to be on mondays?

I have a saying.

"Any game is worth 64 pence!!!!"

I used to put that in a coin op to see if a game was good.

I might get the Splatoon 3ds theme menu.

Also pre-ordered the retail version of Splatoon (hope it's dispatched soon)

@ikki5 i guess so or maybe it is the exchange cost (in canada it cost $69.99[yes you did mention] and change that to uk pounds it will cost about £36.76)
