Only when he is hungry
Just for parents, it says it is a PEGI 7+, be warned, there are a few F bombs and the C word crops up, how it got put through at a 7+ I will never know.
As for does he go skiing? You'll have to play it to find out, it is also sodding difficult!
Well worth £1.09 though.
Your loss
You can create an account and make purchases on the website then whenever you use that same account when you login on your switch everything will appear
You need to register an account on the console first before buying from the eShop
I bought a switch too for the kids at Xmas. About a month ago it was purchased. You have to take it out of the box (it isn’t sealed) and create an account on the console. I purchased a game I wanted from the console while it was in my hands. The good thing though, is that it is already set up so less faff on Xmas day, plus you can then buy good games like in this deal directly from the store on their website using your phone/web browser. The games will automatically download when you switch on the console (I checked).
I have been searching for years. I thought no one else knew of Horace goes skiing ! (edited)
beat me by 4 seconds !! LOL
Thats a rarity, doesn't happen that often that we are the cheapest.
He's still terrified of spiders though!

Cheapest compared to every region, even cheaper than the SA Store .
Have some heat OP. (edited)
Usually that's just code for 'Has lazy Monty Python references'
Jk, I've heard this is pretty decent
Great minds, great memories
Oh if Nintendolife say it's 10/10 ...I will think I will pass! (edited)
I think this is one of the best games I've played in a LONG time.
This game sounds great, now going to ask what is no doubt a stupid question.......
Can I buy games like this just now from the eshop or do I actually have to wait til I have the Switch and have it set up?
Or can I just create an account on the eshop and then connect them when it arrives? OK, stop laughing!!
You can't, you need to register an account on the console first
Because it's NOT a kids game, the rating is wrong.
Surprised its a 5.8gb download. Just had a look on the eshop. Thought it would be under a GB. My 128gb SD card is already full! And I'm a physical collector! Borderlands hasn't helped though, in fact all 2k games. Take up bulk of the card, don't think they've ever released a game where its not a massive download.
Thanks for the heads up.
The map is a lot too blame for that. If you get stuck transporting the bomb after a boss fight try an alternative route using trial and error with the map each time you go through a door. (edited)
If it helps I've done a playthrough for this chapter on my Twitch. If you think it well help. My account name is AValve. This is my second playthrough so a bit more organised than my first but may be a bit of finding my way also but mighty help.
it has 8-bit look but has a lot of content. music, cinematics ... really insanely low price.
Alas picked this up without watching anything other than trailer and glad I did!
Fantastic game filled with witty English humour, and storyline. It’s a bargain with the clear effort the developer has put into this to get even smiles in 8-bit form!
Funny how Ford Capri’s are trash you need to clean up!
Thanks op, it’s nice to come across gems like this. Will have to look if this studio has more. (edited)
Yup
1] Hungry
2] Skiing
and
3] frightened of spiders
