This was a great feature. Top notch and well timed to all of the recent discussions around the topic happening between Nintendo fans online. However I'm still grumpy about the higher cost of Puyo Puyo Tetris on Switch than on ps4. Also I've noticed that on the Switch UK eShop the price of DragonBall Xenoverse 2 and One Piece: Unlimited World Red is 10 pounds more than at all retail stores. Maybe it's an error or maybe they hope to make extra profit from people who buy digitally.
The idea that Nintendo of America are understaff for the eshop makes sense. The USA probably has more indie devs that anywhere else in the world but Nintendo probably staffed it the same as Europe will have no where the size of Indies. It also matches up with their we're not going to make a loss this generation. Here in the UK it was hell to get through to the Nintendo customer support for me because they were understaffed. They obiously hadn't spent any money on getting more staff to handle the launch of the switch. It's the, don't spend anything more than you have to. Sadly you get casualties with developers losing their trust inthe company. It also matches up with how their shipments of consoles are still not huge despite Mario Kart coming out soon and that being one of the three biggest franchies Nintendo has in the UK, one of it's weakest markets. But I live in hope.
