First! Thinking of picking up Cuphead finally
I highly recommend Torchlight 2 at that price, great game with tons of content.
Unravel Two, Torchlight II, Blasphemous and Castle Crashers Remastered are the ones I don't yet own from that list. I'm sure they're all great but I'm not sure that I can see myself finding time to play any of them.
Ori, Cuphead, Blasphemous and Castle Crashers are amazing. Good sales.
Let's see when we have those prices for old AA and AAA titles lol
Already have Ori and Cuphead, two damn difficult games. Not sure what else I’d want.
Everyone get Castle Crashers! It's a wonderful game that's great alone, greater with friends and its 40 percent off!
@Kilamanjaro please dont say first no one cares
Into the Breach is half price on the UK store.
I bought cuphead but I don't like it
"Untitled Goose Game was in that reel of Indies, it should have a sale, too!" It was already 25% off at around launch, especially as a new game, so yeah, no, that needs all the revenue that it can get!
That's going to be a hard act to follow up on too, y'know? People are already playing the main game to completion on friends' Switches. To combat that, a longer sequel might pose technical issues (or just do loading times) or might be too drawn-out? I don't know if the solution is to just make it longer and not worry about it, introduce a second goose, a helpful frog friend, or what.
Everyone should buy Baba Is You and Slay The Spire.
Already had Baba, but I nabbed Ori last night and my brother will probably get Castle Crashers today.
EVERYBODY! BUY ALL THE GAMES! EVERYONE IS A WINNER! lol
Just an FYI Binding of Isaac is on sale as well!
@imgrowinglegs Agreed. A lot of great games here but those two are probably the biggest standouts for me.
I gotta say, Nintendo seems to be stepping up sales on the eShop compared to previous years. Particularly for indie offerings.
Thinking of picking up Ori and the Blind Forest while it's on sale.
@Kilamanjaro Do it! Cuphead is fantastic.
@Ralizah hehe thanks! Looking forward to it
@Ralizah as you just said: do it! It's fantastic hehe
@Xombie13 Binding of Isaac is $40 normally and $20 on sale. Should be $20 regular price before the sale. It is way overpriced for an Indie game.
I find the lack of Untitled Goose Game disturbing.
@Dman10 agreed. I think I might break down and buy it now though.
Good buy for people who just got a switch. For me nothing, the ones I want I already have and anything else would be a waste of digital space.
Terraria is "on sale" for 20.99, but is currently 5 dollars on steam.. :/
At least Cave Story is finally down to a reasonable price (9.99)
@PickledKong64 you're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
@the_beaver haha thanks for the support new as a user here but have visited this site daily forever. Might pull the trigger because of you two on buying this 😁
I'm just happy terraria is on sale. The current price is what I think is a reasonable price for it.
I want BLASPHEMOUS, but the kids want UNRAVEL 2. And one is far cheaper....
@Tyranexx Nintendo have nothing to do with third party prices dude. Huge misconception still exists that Nintendo are setting prices for non Nintendo software.
@kobashi100 Fair point. But I believe Nintendo has to approve them? Typically I'm used to seeing most sales that involve multiple games (on Nintendo platforms, anyway) tend to be from the same publisher. Kind of like the one Square Enix is running on some of their titles.
Nifty! I'll have to check if there are other sales, as well.
Torch light for a playa like me. 😎
Now I can get Castle Crashers with the points I won in the last Tetris 99 tournament!
@earthb0und umm. This game is $15 “regular price “ on PS Store and Xbox. I don’t care how much content it has, it is way overpriced. Do you work for the developer or something because there’s no way to defend this higher price on Switch.
my favourite indie game this year is The Touryst really enjoyed playing that game and its one of few games on Switch that runs at 60 FPS and maintains it
Indie gaming is the gaming I care most about to be honest. Bloated triple a experiences concentrate so much on corny cinematics and often reuse a lot. I find that after I play them I'm left unsatisfied. I could have had MORE of the core experience, more gameplay and enemy types if the damn developers didn't have to waste so much time and money on cut scenes and on writing that does NOT impress.
Indie games is also where classic game fundamentals and genres are polished, sometimes to perfection. As modern masterpieces.
It's also where I hope to see less nonsense and more shining examples of single player games that can flourish in sales, complete experiences from the damn first purchase and not a game in chunks, and less pay to play nonsense or loot boxes. Just real ambition and love for games from people who grew up playing them now developing them as a total passion project. A space where new ideas can happen more often.
