    To be fair it's practically a different game since it was originally reviewed.
    Controls have been fixed, frame rate doubled, net code fixed, ton of extra content.

    An OK price for physical but too much for digital IMHO

    South Africa Nintendo sells it for 390 rand which equates to less than £23. Got minecraft for around £15 the same way before and works fine. Just create a separate profile on your switch to buy from the South Africa store.

    So, 40% off and yet still massively overpriced.

    ​i dunno...switch already has two of the best rated games this generation and it's only been out a few months...by the end of the year it'll probably have four of the best rated games. Hardly any games...but when you have 2 or 4 of the best rated games year one it doesn't really matter. So.can definitely see the sense in picking one up.

    3rd party games never hold their price for too long regardless of hardware they're on. Nintendo though are completely reluctant to discount their own games...they hold their price for a long time.

    Yeah awesome game in multiplayer, it's improved dramatically since launch.

    It's also one of those games that are great out and about when sharing joycons

    I've put in 30 hours already!

    Thanks that puts it in a price range I'm happy to pay.

    Not sure why there's hatred for Nintendo and the switch? I also have a gaming pc so thy compliment each other perfectly. I'm not going to get into an online argument on the merits or shortcomings of a particular company or product, that's pointless.

    For me. I'm happy to pay an extra £10 to download it and not have to change the cartridge. Maybe it's because I game on a pc and I'm used to it. I no longer change a cd when I want to listen to different music so why with games? technology has gone past that point.

Both of which sell for AAA prices, and are a means for Switch owners to justify it to themselves that their purchase was worth the necessary effort and expenses.With regards to Nintendo's track record of making the best games, I assume you also mean to include recent turkeys such as Starfox 0, Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival and Metroid Federation Force, yeah? Because where I'm standing, having saved my money and time by not investing in such a worthless system, the likelihood of Nintendo making the best games is akin to stating that a broken clock is correct more than twice a day.

    ​To my knowledge Nintendo didn't make Starfox 0 or metroid. And animal crossing wasn't exactly 'the A team'. So eer yeah, welldone.

    One game is a Wii port (Mario kart)...the other, again to my knowledge, was released the same time on the switch...so not exactly a port no. But yes, the switch has the best versions of both these highly rated games. And again, it will have least one more of this gens top rated games by the end of the year.
    But if decent games aren't enough of a reason for you to justify my switch purchase what is? tech? I guess it depends on how you look at it? weakest console...or most powerful handheld system made? personally I buy gaming machines for the games...happy with my purchase. Why that upsets you I don't know
    Maybe if you're a good boy father Christmas will get you one this year, then you won't need to save your pocket money. win win!

    I don't see why you need to be so defensive about the switch. I've seen a few people on here act exactly like that as if only their opinion counts. If you like the switch and the games then that's great. The thing though is that a load of nintendo fanboys feel the need to overly defend their platform. They are great games sure, but the fact that the 2 games are on the Wii U isn't really a big selling point to get a switch is it? Especially given the cost of both the games and the handset. They are very valid criticisms that people are allowed to have. Frankly if the Wii U didn't flop so hard, I'd imagine more people would be critical of it being a port platform. The switch is starting to get newer games which is great, but people aren't wrong to have their reservations over an expensive platform that has low battery life, low storage, expensive games, limited portfolio where it's better to wait until you buy a switch if interested. The switch is a good platform that allows a good handheld experience that can be docked, but there are a lot of things that also turn people off from the device currently.

    Hopefully the games will start to drop in price. I don't really like how certain people try to justify the cost just because some of the games are good. Everyone makes games that attract certain people.

    Also 40% discount in ZA store, which is about £22.8
  15. deleted239443's avatar
    It's €29.99 on other European stores. There seems to be some sites that sell eshop € credit. Seagm has 2 €15 for £27.18. Of course you need to have a European Nintendo account to redeem and purchase.

    Alternatively, back on the UK store, buy a £25 eshop card with 5% from cdkeys and pay the difference to get it for £27.80.

    Anyone else found ways to shave the price down further?

    In the case of the Switch at least, physical and digital actually start off at the same price. Physical tends to start quite high due to the costs of cartridges and Nintendo wants digital to match this, so physical sales don't get dented.

    However retailers will end up reduce the price of physical, they always do! But rare to see digital budge, especially 1st party stuff. This is one of those rare sales on the eShop for the switch at the moment

    Yeah, that's the problem. If it's the same as retail it's actually more expensive as you have to pay for the storage media.
    Worse yet, physical always drops in price and can be resold... so basically digital becomes pointless for games already available physically.

    ​ Nope.it's not worth it. But I'm ok with no resale value for a small selection of games which I have no intention of selling. A lot depends on the price though.

    As long as you don't have credit on your Nintendo account, you can change region at 'accounts.nintendo.com' but if you have any credit on your account you won't be able to change without contacting Nintendo, so don't change region then load it with credit, pay by debit/credit card.
    As long as there is no credit on your Nintendo account it's very simple to change region as often as you like

    Bomberman on Norway eShop works out as £23.79, so a fee-free card would get it for that, else there would be a small exchange fee by your payment method (usually 2% or 3%)
