And that's this week's EU Nintendo Download done and dusted. Thanks for reading, and be sure to leave a vote in this week's poll. We'd love a comment or two as well, championing your potential purchases...
Comments 38
Does anyone knows if the story from 1 and 2 naruto episodes justify the buy or should I go only for third part?
The fact that the bundle it's 17G don't help.
My thoughts on KORG Gadget are here. https://socoder.net/?GotoPost=67305
Still don't really understand what those Naruto games are... Think I need a review. And does anyone need three of them? Still, thanks Bamco. Appreciate the support. Now where is Dark Souls? Tales? FighterZ?
Wish there was demos of Jotun and Light Fall, those are the only two i'm interested but not sure about controls, so would like to try them first
'Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story (Plug In Digital, €5.99 / £5.39) - Another Lost Phone is a game about exploring the social life of a young woman whose phone you have just found.'
That has to be the most CREEPIEST sounding game I've ever heard of.
Will there be a review for the UNS Trilogy?
I was going to vote 80s Overdrive, but it's not a choosable option.
That's what I'll buy, I've been waiting for it to get reduced and boy, 50%. I was very excited before it came out, but some concerns in the review made me hold back. For 5 bucks I'll give it a try.
South Park is too expensive. Otherwise Id bite.
@Jayenkai very useful feedback, thanks
Whoa, £45 for street fighter!
Received my copy of Shantae in the post today, can't wait to fire it up!
@blockfight I thought that, too. I don’t mind paying a decent price for a decent game, but when your first sight of the game is "...we also have this more expensive version", it's more than a little off putting.
I wish these game blurbs would actually tell you about the game. I have no idea what type of game most of these are without looking them up.
@Moroboshi876 I will pick it up too. Looks great and reviewed really well. Sounds like a hidden 3ds gem
I really hope no one wastes their money on those completely broken unplayable mess firefighter games. They even make the Steam library look bad and thats a talent in of itself.
@neyoung8 Well, reading reviews I gathered that is a game visually and musically impressive, but gameplay was a little flawed. That's why I waited.
Light Fall looks great!
Physical South Park for me!
@Moroboshi876 yeah I am expecting it to be rough round the edges but for 4.49 I am not too fussed (especially with that art style)
@SanderEvers Yeah, it's really odd. You can play the onscreen keyboard via the touchscreen, but can't then tap to plot notes in the Piano Roll, or even navigate through the various screens. It's a bizarre mishmash of usability.
Pretty sure I got Kong gadget for about two quid on the App Store a few years ago.
Probably pick Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time as it's the only game in the list I wanted previously. I was hoping for Celeste, Golf Story, Stardew Valley or Wild Guns to be discounted since missing out on them previously. Oh well, back to Owlboy...
Well, thanks to this I got a friend to pick up Etrian Odyssey V (despite my opinion that EO4 and EO2U are better games). I might pick up Radiant Historia now.
Nothing else really interests me this week.
@Pazuzu666 Was also thinking about picking up Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time, but considering my backlog, I’ll probably wait and see if it get’s an even better discount down the line.
80's Overdrive for me. Was meaning to buy it and now I get it at half price.
Still waiting fir something decent to come along!
Hmmm... Street Fighter Anniversary is £15 more than the PC version. That is making me reassess which platform to get it on.
@Jayenkai i think once it drops to about €40 that will be the time for me.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a serious rip off on the European eshop for £44.99. The US version is priced $39.99 which I managed to purchase for the equivalent of £33.41. Thank goodness the Switch is region free!
Hope for physical KORG. Interested in Agata Knife's story as well.
Guys, a warning.
Do not pick up any of those Firefighter Simulation games, they're insultingly bad.
Firefighters looks absolutely terrible. I’m guessing a 3/10 review.
@Jayenkai couldn’t agree more. I try to avoid buying any game that also has a ‘Super Great Deluxe’ version. It’s not uncommon to see three versions of the same game released on the same day on the ps store, the most expensive of which, that I’ve seen, being £85 if I recall correctly. Seems to be becoming more and more common.
This week is complete opposite of the previous one.
Not sure if I'll be picking anything this week (maybe Skypeace, because of how cheap it is, or Sky Rogue), but I urge everyone to try Tactical Mind. It's a mind-bending abstract boardgame and it can be a challenge to beat the AI. It's a bit unintuitive, but clean and decisions matter, even though it may be a bit difficult to get back up if an opponent is leading – not that it can't be done with a bit of cunning!
Yesterday I made up my mind to buy 80s Overdrive, it's a game I've been waiting to be released and after that... to be discounted. But now I'm not so sure. I definitely want it, but the developers have repeatedly stated that want to port it to other systems, and in March they ran a poll on Twitter about what system would people want them to port the game. Obviously Switch was the undisputed winner.
So I can see myself buying it on 3DS, not playing it because of the huge backlog I suffer, and having to read at some point that it's going to be on Switch, on top of that an enhanced edition with all the complaints addressed and maybe extra stuff.
I think I'll wait. If it's not announced, well, then I can wait for another sale.
Late Shift and Sky Rogue for me.
Late Shift is a very good FMV game with a lot of choices, branching-paths and several endings.
Sky Rogue for me. Interested in Korg Gadget too but overpriced IMO.
@Sinton not me. I've learned my lesson having missed some of the first eShop sales, regretting it ever since. I doubt it'll get any cheaper than this in future. Besides, it feels a fair price and doubt it'll get any cheaper in future.
