Humble Store Expands Digital Switch Selection With More Third-Party Offerings

Is there any actual reason one should buy from there over the eShop? I presume the prices are more competitive.

Are the prices lower than anywhere else? If not, I can't see any advantage to buying from the Humble store... unless they finally release a Humble Bundle of Switch games of course.

@frogopus So you have to sign up to a subscription to benefit from it? Not that it matters to me, I collect physical games. Still, seems like a silly business venture.

Plus the fact that your purchase goes towards charity, not just the devs/publishers. But honestly the better deal on the consumer end is either eshop flash sale or sale/used physical at a store.

All depends on your wallet and if you feeling like being generous to a charity.

Edit - I should note, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a straight Humble store purchase, but I know their bundle deals are not only amazing offers, BUT you can choose which charity and how much of your money goes to Humble-Dev-Charity. I remember last bundle I chose I did 10/10/80%

@TheFanatic Well it seem more like it is for people who main on PC who also uses a Switch (like me) and if they have humble bundle monthly then that 10% off does make a difference. Though I can't take advantage of that yet as I can't buy them yet.

The big question is are they ever going to have a humble bundle like Sony had one?

@Dman10 There were 2 Nintendo Humble Bundles before Sony had one. WiiU and 3DS games. I would say a Switch HB isn't that unlikely.... eventually.

@Dman10 I’d bet money they will. They had one for Wii U/3DS called “Friends of Nintendo Bundle” and it was pretty sweet.

Had on 3DS

• Retro City Rampage DX
• Shantae and Pirates Curse
• Rhythm Thief
• Citizens Of Earth
• Super Street Fighter IV 3D
• Nano Assault EX

And on Wii U

• Affordable Space Adventures
• Shantae and Pirates Curse
• Freedom Planet
• Darksiders 2
• Swords and Soldiers 2
• Runbow

The page doesn't load anything for me. Though really the only Sega game I'm interested in is Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Not only do subscribers get 10% off, but you also get 2 bucks added to your wallet if you buy a bundle (or something like that). I've ended up with a couple of dollars in my wallet as a nice little surprise. Plus, they also have their own sales. I'm not sure if they will be dictated by Nintendo, but I know that things available on Humble Bundle and Steam don't always have the same sales.

The Humble Nindie Bundles for WiiU/3DS were absolutely fantastic deals... A Switch Bundle would be welcome, except its likely I would already own the included games.

What's the point?

Eh I'll wait for a Humble Bundle.

Next Month:

Humble Store: We're selling a Switch Humble Bundle

Everyone: YAY!

Humble Store: We're selling only Official Nintendo 1st Party games

Me: I've got them all

Humble Store: Too Bad

So what is available from HB on switch exactly?

I've checked in the past and haven't really found much of anything.

(and I was hoping to pick up Yooka-Laylee for switch before the Team 17 sale ended)

If I create a North American Account could I still use these codes?

I don’t get it. I think I’m missing something.

I can’t find any Switch games on the store?
Select ‘Switch’ as a filter shows “0” results?

EDIT: I feel like a right plum. Just read all the new comments and re-read the article and realised it’s US only. 🤦‍♂️

Correction, it only works in the US. Not in Canada.

There are 5 games on that list Id purchase, had it been available in Europe.

@TheFanatic If you're a subscriber for the PC side of things, it's a no-brainer to benefit from 10% off the eShop.

If they do another bundle like they did on Wii U/3DS I'd be interested, but I might as well use the eShop until then...

@Moroboshi876 More options are always a good thing. Also you can set a portion or literally all of the money used to purchase games to go to charity.

You should mention that it isn't available in "North America". It's US only. Why is it that so many people forget that Canada actually exists???

@LetsGoSwitch This is what happens when Nintendo sends me my birthday coupon every frickin year....

@Realnoize That’s just a myth, Canada isn’t real. 😆 J/k. Though if you ask Trump, that’s just our Northern Wall.

Every time I see "Humble" in the headline on this website, I get really excited. Then I learn it's not a bundle...

...And there's still no Switch sales.

@TheFanatic Silly to you, but you've already told us that it doesn't apply to you anyway preferring physical games, probably not a regular PC gamer by that logic.

For somebody like me who plays a lot on PC, I subscribe to Humble Monthly anyway since they more often than not have at least one game in that bundle that I wanted anyway and I would pay the £10 for alone, every other game that comes with it being a bonus. Then the fact I get a 10% discount on everything on top of that, especially useful since I'm more likely to shop on Humble Bundle than Steam, this being a contributing factor.

But yea, of course you have to sign up to the subscription to benefit from it...It wouldn't be a 10% discount if everybody had access to it, that would just be the RRP.

I really want another humble bundle.

I stick with physical copy of games i DONT like download games.
