Nintendo's February Fest eShop Sale Is Live, Save On Persona 5, Sonic Frontiers, And More (Europe)

As always perfectly curated to include everything not on my want list.

Would like a closing down sale for Wii U and 3DS eShops. Still a few games I am missing.

Regarding the Switch games mentioned in the article, I think I already have the ones I want (except P5R, but want that as a physical copy).

@MrGawain Wait what? The article said there was over 2700 games on sale! And you don’t want a single one? C’mon, just one game?

Might have to hop on that A Hat in Time deal, had my eye on a couple 3D platformers for a while. I also saw Slime Rancher was on sale, but if there's no gyro I might have to pass on it

@MS7000 it would be nice, I know I would impulse buy a lot of stuff. But the world could be ending in 3 days and Nintendo still wouldn't hold a going out of business sale.

@TheBigBlue

I've got a list of about 10 indie and smaller Nintendo titles that are more than I would pay for, and I'm pretty sure Nintendo knows this and keeps reducing the games I've got or ones I have no interest in instead. Just being frugal with my cash.

@MrGawain You know what? I can respect that 110%. I don’t like spending money on games I won’t necessarily play at any point either.

Rogue Legacy 2 is calling out to me

@Coalescence Very true. I would like the sale mostly for DLC such as Fire Emblem Echoes and NSMB2, and perhaps VC titles, but I know Nintendo won't feel the need for sales.

Got myself Sega Mega Drive Classics (70% off) and Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 (50% off) that I've had on my wish list for while, so I'm a happy man

@TheBigBlue I just charged my US account to get some of the "secret" Qubic Games / Untold Tales games deals. Plenty of goodness there, at least if you like replayable simple games (in concept), like The Hong Kong Massacre, Splatter Zombiecalypse Now, and Door Kickers, to name just a few of the many. You can take maybe 10 dollars and get filler / instant action / instant satisfaction games for several years now, less than a dollar each. Less than HALF a dollar in most cases.

@Wolfleaf Because you already get a discount when you buy one I think.

@TheBigBlue There's often a long time I ONLY play filler games like that, or just keep replaying them over and over because I find something... Peaceful (?) in them. Meanwhile my backlog of games that cost me ten times the price of one of these games on average, remains untouched... As I'm living on a tight budget, I've very often even skipped bigger releases I really wanted, in favour of a few cheap games among which I usually find a couple of very good ones I can find tens of hours of enjoyment in. A lot less risky, considering I've often gotten bored or overloaded with some of the big releases, or simply got a few hours enjoyment from them but not to the point where I would consider them worthy of such high prices compared to the cheap games. Ironically, Mario and the Rabbids is one I bought pretty early on (the original, the gold edition physically at a sale price lower then the dlc was, AND the sequel, gold edition physical at a sale), and I absolutely love the original, and am waiting to start the sequel, one of the few games I did still buy at a price above the budget prices, until after the dlc is released - I just wanted the gold edition physically. I know it will probably get way cheaper in the future, digitally, but I for one truly loved the original. Admittedly, I almost skipped it because I didn't know what to think of the idea initially. But the Switch was still pretty new, and I "needed" a new game for it... You probably know how these things go

Can anyone speak on the performance of the GTA trilogy? Tempted by that and Sonic

Lego Star wars is a must. I'm not a fan of Star wars but the game is so fun to play and actually looks great for a Switch game. Can anyone say if paper Mario is any good because I've been eyeing it up for a while now. I wouldn't get the download though because it's cheaper in Argos (like most games)

The deals aren't too bad but I have been addicted to the newer retro catalogue that Nintendo has put out. Loving GBA games at the moment though I wish there were more titles at launch.

Monkey Island is on sale, anything interested should get that game, is GREAT!
Also I really recommend Death's Door. Fantastic little Zeldalike game, for that price is a no brainer.

I have seen also Immortals Gold Edition for a pretty cheap price. Do you guys recommend it? Are the DLCs any good?

@NinjaNicky Paper Mario Origami King is awesome! The story, characters, world and humour are probably on par with Thousand Year Door. The combat is a bit odd, as they're kind of like puzzles, but they're ok, really, and at least if you play it with someone else like I did, you never get tired of it.
I loved the game, personally. So colorful, fun and varied. It's only after TTYD in the Paper Mario ranking.

@NinjaNicky paper Mario is definitely worth it also in my opinion and I agree with @the_beaver is second in the franchise only after TTYD…

@TheBigBlue he said the article didn’t have anything on his wishlist not the whole sale. I am the same way. Either have it or don’t want it.

@TheBigBlue you just can buy an european switch ecard here and use it if you make a european switch account..

I was happy game builder garage is on sale, like me some tinkering, and now it is exactly in the price range i hoped

Diablo Prime Evil Collection can be picked up for £16.49. It's got to be the stand out deal of the sale for me. It includes both Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo III Eternal along with extra DLC! It's not an obvious one to spot. Go to Diablo II Resurrected on the eshop and hit the tab for the Prime Evil Collection.

How are Nintendo still so far behind in online stores. Sony, Microsoft, Steam etc have virtually the same sales across the board. But Nintendo does a deal for Europe an then forgets that North America even exists.

Every time, Europe gets an amazing sale and NA gets the same sub par indie game sales.
