Re: Review: SteamWorld Dig 2 (3DS eShop)

I was gonna wait for this version, but got a Switch for Christmas and couldn't resist. I'll likely pick this up later if it goes on sale and give the game a replay. I really like the 3D effects in Steamworld games on 3DS.

I just went through my coins history to see how many coins I've lost to expiration.

1060 Platinum and 200 Gold.

I've only redeemed 660 Platinum and 100 Gold for actual rewards.

Looks like I get 60 gold coins from a full priced game purchase, so to get those 200 gold coins that vanished I had to spend about $200 on the eShop.

From my experience this rewards program is doing more harm than good.

Bah and I just spent 120 gold coins on... expiration.

Some decent discounts, but I think I'm pretty much done buying games for my Wii U. I hope some Switch rewards appear before the rest of my coins disappear.

Maybe they'll let us pay for Nintendo Online with coins, that'd at least give us something useful to spend them on.

@RoboBubble We've gotta join forces and let Nintendo know we won't stand for this! PSN games aren't more expensive in Canada, and I don't think Steam games are either. And like you say, I'll pay a bit extra on a brand new game, since otherwise people will just import all their new games from Canada, but on digital copies of old games, we should just pay the original price. My income doesn't increase when the Canadian dollar tanks, so why do they think I can suddenly blow more of it on low-priority game purchases?

TL;DR: If Wii games on Wii U were $20 in Canada I'd buy at least three of them right now.
