Who's trolling? RoR2 looks rad as hell. Almost as rad as winding up nerds on the internet.

People concerned about losing their regional pricing are "riled up nerds"?
Wait, does this mean I can buy them and redeem on my main Nintendo account?
Yes. You get emailed a code. I just redeemed it on my main Nintendo account.
Yup, same way Origin got rid of South American regional pricing. That was back during the old site's days, I thought people might have improved since then, I was very wrong.
You're on an enthusiast forum and you think calling someone a nerd is an insult. Hilarious.
I doubt Nintendo will do anything to screw you over. At most they will try to lock out other people being able to purchase. Their own software on your region store is pretty much in-line prices with other stores. It's other publishers who are pricing their games to be competitive with your region's income earnings.
User Banned (1 Day): Trolling over a series of posts.
Well there's being a nerd, and then there's being a nerd. Stop being such a fucking nerd, nerd.
"Please dont abuse regional pricing because it fucks people like me over"
"lol I want cheap games stop being a self righteous nerd"
Interesting... I'm not sure I'm the one getting wound up here dude.
Edit: you are from the UK, you are able to purchase RoR2 from the eshop in the normal way if you think it's that "rad".
Brexit hasn't happened yet, I'm sure you're able to afford it.
If anyone could get me Katana Zero & Hollow Knight that would be a huge favour, and I could paypal you the money today.

Cuphead and Hotline Miami for $15. My grandpa was Argentinian so I'm not feeling guilty about it.
Got all of this for $37: Katana Zero, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Celeste, Hotline Miami Collection, Risk of Rain 2 and Cuphead. Didn't get Wargroove since I already have it.
Might go back and get My Friend Pedro. I had planned on buying the physical release for that and Hotline Miami Collection anyway when Special Reserve Games puts them up.

And that adds up to money lost for smaller devs when posted on a large message board.
they're getting more money. if I waited until a price drop down to $2 to get the game, I wasn't going to buy the game otherwise.
No. If you do a second transaction you'll have to add the info again.
I remember when Valve straight up changed their entire gifting system because people were getting cheaper stuff
Then I realize the problem is that companies think it's illegal for a small percentage of consumers to get things cheaper than they want you to pay for it, not that consumers bought things cheaper than normal

But thinking that way directly affects other consumers less fortunate than yourself. You're just trying to shift the blame to the companies so you don't feel guilty.
So I went ahead and did it. It costs me $3.21 in total for that game I wanted on my Switch. Argentines, I'm so sorry.
It's even better during sales. I got Hollow Knight for little over a dollar during the e3 sale. I'm waiting to see what they'll do for Christmas.
Edit: BTW, if you redeem the code in a US account you'll get the corresponding gold coins.

No, this time, you sign up for an email address that is in the Argentine region, then you use your Visa/Mastercard to purchase a game there, then you redeem the digital code sent to you on your main account.
It's not. It's morally wrong imo but there is no law against it that I know.
I am from Venezuela, there is no worse economy in the world than my country nor is there a Nintendo Venezuela Store ... so I will take advantage of this offer and there is nothing wrong with it ...
It's not technically piracy, it's gaming the system. Possibly detrimental to Argentinians. Not going to hate on the hussle, the only thing I wanted that I don't already have is DS2 which is $40 USD anyway, so I'm out.
Your situation is different. Most people in here who are abusing this system are not from countries like Venezuela but instead from the US, UK, Germany etc. All countries with good economies and the ability to buy from their native country.
You aren't illegally downloading or technically stealing stuff. It's not illegal, you're just using the region free system to your advantage. Nintendo set the region free system people are just using it to save themselves some money.
lol
how does economy work? 🤔
Investing money into an economy is bad, gotcha. Fucking over devs... hysterical. There is no data to dispute the fact that people who spent money on these games have done it because the price was right for them and their pockets and that they would have spent nothing at all if game X was $15 instead of $5.
There still hasn't been a confirmed case where regional pricing (which is laughably limited on the Argentian eShop, like it is for the Russian store and so on) has been scrapped because a tiny fraction of the general buying population was spending money on some other Country's e-stores.
Swiss-era shouldn't get the games from the Swedish eShop then, right? They should keep paying their games sometimes even 30% more, right? EU-era should have never imported their physical games from the UK, right? NETFLIX users should never use a VPN to enjoy the USA offerings and just stick with whatever gated content is available in their Country.
People who have grabbed some games cheaper from the JPN eShop are definitely responsible for the japanese economy crushing and burning, bring out the guillotine. Polish citizens have a much lower income, yet they should pay more on their eShop instead of taking advantage of the free market and world economy and pay for them on the Swedish/Norwegian eShops, those poor scandinavians risk losing their regional pricing deals goddamn polish Era!
Switch is a region-free console.
PS4 is a region-free console.
Xbox is a region-free console.
Buy and play games from any region.
And justify what exactly? And to whom?
I don't have the means to access the Argentian store and can't be bothered to find a credit card that might be accepted.
Thanks for making a complete ass out of yourself lol

Receipts, please. That isn't why the SA store had prices jacked up. Titles that costed the same or more than on most eShops had the price jacked up. Most titles have. On average games cost now more on the SA eShop than on EU stores, if (what you said) was true they would have priced games at least the same and not higher.
You monster
I don't have receipts on eShop stuff, but EA stopped doing regional pricing in South America AND also screwed up the way they lower MSRP over time in our region, so not only we don't get regional pricing, but we also end up paying more for older games (Origin).
How did this happen? A-holes from the US and other countries with similar economies exploiting our regional pricing. And this isn't even the only time we got screwed over people doing this crap. It is also happening on Steam with all the big publishers (even if now it's way harder to exploit regional pricing there, pubs don't care, they got burned once, they'll screw over people like me because of people like you).
enjoy it my dude, anyone who lives in a country with higher inflation than Argentina is allowed to use this deal
I tried making an account and somehow failed miserably following the instructions. if someone can pick me up katana zero and RoR 2 I will pay for it.
