It did provide some short term entertainment but it doesn’t surprise me. Probably the most benefit I got out of it was some people to add to my switch friends list.
I wound up buy buying it today. The boxing week sale dropped it to $25 Canadian. Based on the review scores I've seen this was the price it should have been set at to begin with...
Shovel knight treasure trove is the only one that appeals to me so far, but I already have it on the wii u and 3ds so I’m not sure if I want to triple dip
@tedko I saw that earlier today. It is a great game. I have Runner 2 already though so I can’t take advantage of that deal. I did grab Art of Balance though.
I just checked and it looks like it's back again. I did get an update notification to version 3.0.3 so maybe it was in the middle of the swapping it out in the app store...
I've been grabbing the themes, background, and Digital Only Game discounts rather then let my points expire...sometimes the discount is enough to the game (even if it's a mediocre VC game). When it comes to discounts on physically available games I don't normally bother but I've been wanting Pandora's Tower and the 40% discount it's cheaper then I can find it locally so I jumped on it.
Hopefully they will be able to address their issues with porting this. More games are always welcome, even if they are ports (as long as they are well done)
Like @Pigeon I found the initial price a little steep, especially with the Canadian dollar exchange premium. The 40% off sale brought it down to a price I was willing to try it. I have a four day weekend coming up so hopefully I will have time between my adult responsibilities and the BotW DLC to give it a fair try.

I was able to download it from the Canadian iOS App Store but haven’t been able to connect yet.

I will eventually grab the physical copy of monopoly and possibly monster jam.
Re: Nintendo of America Adds Some Halloween-Themed Switch eShop Discounts
Shovel knight treasure trove is the only one that appeals to me so far, but I already have it on the wii u and 3ds so I’m not sure if I want to triple dip

I'm probably going to get this. Being able to do chess on the go and on the tv is appealing to me. Hopefully they make cross platform play an option.
Re: My Nintendo Updates with New Kirby and Star Fox Rewards
I've been grabbing the themes, background, and Digital Only Game discounts rather then let my points expire...sometimes the discount is enough to the game (even if it's a mediocre VC game). When it comes to discounts on physically available games I don't normally bother but I've been wanting Pandora's Tower and the 40% discount it's cheaper then I can find it locally so I jumped on it.

Hopefully they will be able to address their issues with porting this. More games are always welcome, even if they are ports (as long as they are well done)
Re: Snake Pass Celebrates Summer Solstice With 40 Percent Discount And A Hint Of Upcoming DLC
Like @Pigeon I found the initial price a little steep, especially with the Canadian dollar exchange premium. The 40% off sale brought it down to a price I was willing to try it. I have a four day weekend coming up so hopefully I will have time between my adult responsibilities and the BotW DLC to give it a fair try.
Re: Star Fox 2 Will Finally Be Released Thanks To Super NES Classic Edition
Hopefully they will put this onto the virtual console after the initial run of the SNES classic
