Nintendo's eShop Summer Sale Is Now Live, With Discounts On Over 1,500 Games (Europe)

My bank hurts already >.< oof
At least this month is light on new releases to make up for it!

Pffft, Switch doesn't even have 1500 games!

So many to choose from! Tempted by several old school shooter collections, but went for two off my wish list. Nexomon at £3.99 - a 2D Pokemon-lite type game, and Monster Train First Class - roguelike deck-building at £10.79. Both all time low prices.

Zelda TotK has taken away any drive to buy new games for a while.

Should I buy A Short Hike, seems to be well received. There's a few Sega Ages games I could add to my collection (already have Shinobi and Virtua Racing) even though I have these on the 3DS but imagine playing on a big screen would be fun.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a great game deserving better sales...

@Cikajovazmaj they dropped the price of the first game so quick people assumed the same would happen with this one and held off on buying it. Thats the main reason I didnt buy it. Loved the first game and will definitely get this one at some point.

@Cikajovazmaj Same for me as with @blockfight though with the added caveat of them cutting Yoshi also being an important factor that I didn't get it at launch. If the first game didn't drop in price so fast, or if Sparks of Hope included Yoshi, I can guarantee I would've gotten it already. But now I'm just waiting for the gold version at this point, and then I'll see at what price they can finally persuade me.

@Yosher well, to be honest, my only issue with the game is not including Rabbid Yoshi, so I see where you are coming from

A game other than TotK? What is this madness? I finally got a PS5, and I'm playing TotK, still. There is only Zelda. I will tire of it eventually....right?

This is why I use my wishlist as, in part, an "awaiting sale" list. I may have a scroll of the bargain basement section pricing too

@cra1g0s Can never go wrong with Outrun really

@riChchestM same I won’t be buying anything

NBA for €7.50 is decent but that download size, yikes!

I've learnt to ignore these sales now (it's only taken until I'm 40 🤣) but I barely have time for the main games I buy, let alone adding more to a never ending library that I'll never play

@Yas You won't regret Monster Train. A roguelite that released on Switch (August 2021) to almost no fanfare, but regardless is without doubt a wonderful deckbuilding gem that's on par with Slay the Spire.

As for myself, blame TotK I'll likely pick nothing up from this sale lol. My backlog's also pretty sizeable enough as is.

I still haven't played Persona 5 and it's at all time low so I could maybe buy it now. I don't know when I'd have time to play it though. Zelda will take months at the pace I'm going and I still want to finish Xenoblade 3 DLC too.

@cra1g0s I played A Short Hike some time ago and really liked it. It's short and sweet.

@cra1g0s There are few games that I can recommend to everyone, and A Short Hike is one of them. It's a great game.

Nothing on my wish list that is on sale, nearly all expansion passes except for famicom detective club.

@Shadeon_Koopa Thanks for this suggestion!

@FishyS You're right to wait. The main game isn't great. The storyline is terrible and the battles are way too easy, even on the hardest mode. However – I loved the first DLC, which is a series of battles and levels that gets gradually harder and harder. Without the childish filler, it's a tonne of fun – although a lot of people were unhappy with it precisely because it was pared back. Different strokes I guess!

Dreamlight Valley on sale again... wasn't this going to be free to play by now?

There's a ton of stuff on sale, but I'm mostly winding down my Switch purchases now. I've bought plenty of games for the machine.

"we can't do as we usually do and list every available discount"
Literally when was the last time you actually did that?

"What we have done, however, is pull out some of the biggest titles currently on sale and listed them below."
No you didn't. You copied Nintendo's highlights.

Spent very little on the eshop so far this year. I guess the sheer size of my existing pile, focus on physical, and the better newer releases tending to avoid dropping below my £10 threshold, are the factors for that.

Totk is my current life, but im debating whether to get the great ace attorney chronicles or wait for bomb rush cyberfunk this august

@IronMan30 not 1500 good ones anyway! 😂

@cra1g0s YES! Buy A Short Hike it's such a chill game, it feels massive even though its, as the title suggest only a short adventure, a really nice one to play on a sunny afternoon

Just got the marvel lego, man what a quality game that is. Didnt expect it to like it that much lol.

Yeah whos buying games atm??? I have no time for anything other than TOTK at all, 120hrs and counting, still feel like I've barely started haha

@Tott
I see this comment every day. It's worth the money.

@cra1g0s
I'm the one person who will say this game is overrated. It's cute sure, and not a bad way to spend an afternoon, but it doesn't live up to the hype imo. I much preferred Li'l gator game.

I imagine that Shovel Knight will be excited, as I am sure that the sale includes plenty of shovelware!

The Messenger has got a steep discount - might finally bite on that one. But I already have too much to play!

Tempted to buy and play through Persona 5 again.

What a game. One of the greatest JRPGs of all time.

@Nintendancies Your bank still has money unless somebody successfully robbed it. Your bank account on the other hand is not safe from eshop sales.

@HistoricKombat
How do you know I didn't rob a bank to fund my Eshop habit eh?

Nah you are quite right in correcting me there, I think its because I'm BrEET-ish we often shorten it to just bank when talking about our finances, or at least that's the normal dialect where I live xD

Bought strange brigade deluxe edition at 9.99 and having a blast playing at (solo of course) maybe i will buy valkyrie 4 deluxe as well 11£
