RedDeerGames Summer Sale Sees Ridiculous Savings On Switch, Prices As Low As $0.09

@RupeeClock I'm glad people are not obeying that 1.99 minimum because a lot of these indie shovelware games are not worth 1.99.

@RupeeClock Yeah, thought so too. This is weird..

Wait didn't Nintendo prevent dev from listing their game price lower than $1.99?

Haha, Brawl Chess. Is that like when you flip the table in frustration when you know you're losing?

Some of these games don't show up as discounted to me, such as Clumsy Rush or Nirvana Pilot Yume.

I am gonna get Cyber Protocol tho.

is this some british idiom i've never heard or are you guys just getting singular chips

Cyber protocol doesn't look bad at that price. Already bought Psychonauts today for 91p though so a whole pound on games could be pushing it... Ah what the heck. It's pay day next week. 😄

@RupeeClock Thanks for that first post. Here's the article from January we all remember.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/01/switch_eshop_game_prices_can_no_longer_be_below_usd1_99_says_death_squared_dev

I have 300 gold coins - $3.00 - expiring in 20 days so maybe chess.

I thought those prices weren’t allowed anymore?

@RupeeClock the missing ingredient here was that fries are cheaper than i assumed, thank you

Fish and Chips are no longer cheap… not proper ones. Good fish and chips are more expensive than other take aways now… I want fish and chips now….

OT - 9 cent game!!?!?!? I’d buy that for a dollar…

Oh no wait…

@somebread Do you live somewhere chips are expensive?

I've heard good things about Cyber Protocol, so I picked that up for nine cents. Also bought Eldest Souls and Quake while I was at it 🙂

I'm pretty sure the meat of that article was that Nintendo no longer lets publishers game the system by having their games show up in the best sellers if they are under 1.99.
Looks like, if they just want to be generous for its own sake, they can still discount as much as they want...

Also Art Sqool has been on my wishlist for years so this is just a gift.

@RupeeClock That was a lie

Anyone go to that eel and meat pie place? I saw it on a YouTube food channel.

To those asking about how under 1.99, possibly it’s due to how the sale is linked to a prior purchase.

I bought the mouse one for my 2 year old. It’s really adorable but my god, making the B button go back to the main menu? Worst design decision ever made especially for a game designed for young ones.

I love buying games for pennies. I kinda feel bad for the people that made them though. But I've bought a couple of games for pennies on here before, and let me tell, they were worth every one! Huh!? Huh!? Dad joke and I'm not even a dad! Athankya!

I hope they're on sale here in the states!

@rjejr yeah, from what I gather from the article, it's all secondhand information. Nothing official stated from or by Nintendo. A dev said this, someone said that.

@OldManHermit when I see that title I think of Harry Potter wizard chess, but with a chance to fight back, with buffs and debuffs based on what piece attacks and what piece is defending.

But I don't THINK that's what it is, otherwise I'd have probably played it already.

A welp, I bought Cyber Protocol for .09 bells.... I haven't even started it and I already immediately have the buyers remorse...

The chess game looks cool but I bet the animations would get annoying fast.

Love to see articles like this when this site hasn’t bothered to review a single game from this publisher.

Cyber Protocol is a very nice game, with nice art direction and music, combined with good game play. Worth it even at full price.

No thanks. Crap at a cheap price is still crap

@jcboyer515 it's got a sweet soundtrack though.

Got cyber protocol, definitely got my 10 cents worth. It's kind of interesting but can be overwhelming.

Cuber protocol is amazing

Nintendo hasn’t prevented games from being on sale for less than $1.99. What they have done is make them harder to find in the eShop. Before, games used to be priced and listed from lowest to highest so you could see games below $1.99 first. Now, any game below the $1.99 price point, for example $.09 cents will be treated like it’s listed for $1.99 and still be buried I the listings instead of “floating” straight to the top. It used to be a good way for software developers to get noticed in the eShop clutter by selling their game for cents on the dollar. That’s what Nintendo put a stop too.

I bought Little Mouse's Encyclopedia for my kid a while back, and it turned out that I was more interested in it than he was. So yeah, I figured I'd might as well get Cyber Protocol. Has anyone played Art Sqool? That one has been on my wishlist because it looks interesting, but the screenshots and videos alone kind of give me no idea if it actually is or not.

Thanks for this article! Getting Cyber Protocol for sure.

@PhhhCough I read the article that way as well, all second hand, but since we all remembered it I figured I might as well link to it.

At least, my remaining gold points are usable to this sale. I don't mind what they call "shovelware".
