NSW2U wasn't even a good website, there are way better options out there. I'll just keep pirating nintendo (and a couple other companies) games until they decide to price games fairly and better localize their prices to my country. No nintendo, Mario Kart World is NOT worth a month of groceries!
You guys don't get it, don't call these honest people scalpers. Some of those are just brazilian units. ~$800 is the normal price for us (and games go as high as $87).
Great game from my homeland!!! It's pretty iconic 'cause it was born from a homage video made by a famous comedy channel that does tons of "nerdy" content and, as far as I'm aware, A Lenda do herói was the first project of this scope in the country. And for the people complaining about the singer, well, He really is not the best singer and for some odd reason he decided to make a weird voice in the english version, the songs in portuguese sound much, much better (also with better rhymes and puns). If you need a reason to learn a new language this is a pretty good one.
@Heavyarms55 Games and consoles are taxed as "gambling goods" which are hit really heavy (40%). Add in import taxes (60% on original price+shipping), sale (from the manufacturer) and re-sale (store) taxes (around 30%) and "service" taxes (5~10%), some of those have to be paid more than once (our system is a mess...) and we have Brazil. Also, I simplified A LOT how taxes actually work here.
Pure marketing, while in reality the prices are prohibitive. Exchange rates and taxation bring the cost of the console to a ridiculous ~U$600 and while the eshop has been available for a long time, the selection is kinda lacking. Also, nintendo is actually RAISING their prices, even for old games.
@Clyde_Radcliffe It's kind of a tradition here to re-re-re-re-re-release sega games/consoles/bundles over and over again due to an old partnership with brazilian company TecToy.
Unless they sell the console at a loss it won't really matter. Currency exchange, import policies and stupid taxes make pretty much everything expensive as **** over here.
I can only hope ninty announces an official release of the Switch in Brazil (and Latin America in general) at a reasonable price for our market reality and without any missing features, like the WiiU eShop fiasco.
@Krambo42 I got the code, thanks ^^ I promisse to post another Shantae code here as soon as I can. No keys are shown in my page because I'm in Brazil and Nintendo is pretending we don't exist again...
@ricklongo I noticed Brazil in the map as well and that probably means good things are coming for us. ^^ Now my only hope is that Nintendo comes up with some way to register more than one NNID to a My Nintendo account and unify their purchases since I and lots of other people I know have both Brazilian and Canadian accounts (on the 3DS and the WiiU, respectively) and we don't want to choose to keep only one of them.

Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Monster Hunter Rise Demo Revealed
Weird. Both run at the same (low) resolution, but Rise looks really sharp while Age of Calamity is a blurry mess.
