Square Enix Launches Huge Switch eShop Sale, Includes Multiple 2022 Titles (North America)

Hmm might have to toss Squeenix some cash. Still need DQ Treasures.

How's Saga Frontier Remastered? I've had my eye on that one for a while.

Holding out hope that Paranormasight and PowerWash get physical releases somewhere in the world. My eyes are on Star Ocean.

Aw, no Octopath?

I might pick up Crisis Core. That’s not a bad price at all.

Sure was nice of them to put their 3DS games on sale.

Oh wait...

Those cloud games are still terrible, even with discount they're not worth the value since you could literally lose access at any time.

@Caryslan You’re telling me, I saw the headline and rushed over to the eshop to be thoroughly disappointed

So... Squenix has no 3DS eShop sales going on? Generous of them to want to milk as much FOMO money as they can get in the final days of the storefront's existence.

@TheBigBlue Huh, thats too bad. I was always wondering if buying the cloud version of KHs would be worth it or even playable. Honestly, cloud streaming in general is the less appealing aspect of gaming to me.

Hmm..may be tempted to get the Crystal Chronicles Remaster edition. One of my favorite game on the GC. I know the Switch version was rather butchered but I'm still tempted to get it for a cheap price.

Guess it's time to get FFIX, it's been a while since I wanted to buy it.

Nintendo Life never covered Crisis Core?

Um, well... I'm a Square Fan... if you couldn't tell from my pfp.

@NintendoLife "Square Enix has kicked off a pretty big publisher today on the Switch eShop in North America." Pretty sure you're missing the word sale.
Also, as someone from the UK, Square-Enix are having a sale over here too.

Perhaps it's time to grab Neo: TWEWY.

Perhaps instead of Switch Pro, Switch OLED 5G would be a good next step so that these cloud games can actually be viable.

Finally a Chrono Cross sale. Time for me to finally play the sequel to Chrono Trigger to form my own opinion, decades in the making.

@abbyhitter I enjoyed it a lot as someone relatively inexperienced with the SaGa franchise. None of the stories overstayed their welcome, and each one offered a rather unique way to play. One neat aspect I found was that the world you explore is mostly the same in each story, but events play out differently in each. Because of this, you’re able to take advantage of what you know about a specific town or dungeon and use it to get ahead a bit quicker.

@Thomystic You want to pay for data on top of already paying for WiFi just to keep cloud gaming unstable? Unless you live in a city where there are lots of cell towers and data centers that ain't going to do you no good either. If I could watch an unstable YouTube video via data connection what makes you think this will help cloud gaming? You're only wasting money going that route. Remember it's the data centers that kept the stream stable, doesn't matter if you had WiFi or data connection, if you're not near a data center from where your full price cloud game originate from then your experience will never be stable. If you bought a data center such as a phone, console, handheld, or a PC then your stream will be good and stable but why would you play on stream anyways when you could just go native instead without all the lags and latency issues?

Chrono Cross is mine!

I've held off, hoping for a patch and a sale. Patch came 3 weeks ago, and here's the sale!

@Shade_Koopa Don't get FF:CC. I did, hoping against hope that some good sales would entice them to add proper multiplayer, but it's just not worth it. It's not the game it should be.

I'm just happy I still have the GC edition with some GBA's, and quite honestly, even that isn't worth it. Trying to play it with my kids, it's just a tediously slow game. Atmosphere is second to none, sure thing, but the gameplay is just mehh.

Nice. I still need to get Tactics Ogre.

@RemembersGems
Have you played it on Switch? How is it? Wouldn't mind giving it a try at $11.99 if it is even decent.

@Daniel36 Heha, I'm aware of what kind of game it is. I have the GC version with all the GBA to GC link cables to go with it. My friends and I played it a lot growing up.

Despite the slow and tedious gameplay, I still enjoyed it. I even tried the demo for the FF:CC remastered. It was fine but yes, it could have been so much better.

@RemembersGems
Its one of those games i would have picked up at that price since im sure i would have been able to get some enjoyment out of it but from what i hear its one of those games where the switch version plays quite a bit worse due to performance and the like.

@Shade_Koopa
The main issue i had with the remaster is that they changed how multiplayer works.

A big part of why the multiplayer was so much fun on the original was having all your party be part of the same village and go on a big adventure together, but that has been changed to instead be more about quick matchups for dungeons, so no more exploring towns together and most importantly no more multiplayer cow racing!

@Magician Best bet is PlayAsia for Paranormasight to get a physical release with English subtitles but the West may get one as well since it's Square Enix.

I would like to grab fear effect, should i?

@Shade_Koopa Ahh, good. Then you will know that the biggest selling point to this game, its multiplayer, is sorely lacking in this rendition. Stick to the original, I am sure an extra dungeon and some pay-to-play cosmetics aren't worth your time or money,.

@Thomystic 5g wouldn’t make Cloud games viable mate… my fibernet barely runs them smoothly not worth it at all
