Nintendo eShop - September 2019 | You're Not Ready For This Month, Nobody Is Ready

Final Fantasy X/X-2 and XII are on sale on the NA eshop now too. $35.99 CAD so I assume $29.99 in the U.S.
Nooooo!
Man, I was so proud of how little I've spent in September!
I'm relatively certain the PS4 and Vita versions don't have these and I'm assuming Switch is no different.
I believe the PC version does, however.
Iconoclasts is on sale for $12.
Is it worth it? Does it run well? In the OT I saw a few people say it does but I wanted second set of opinions.

Yeah it runs without issue. I played it last year and while I expected to like it more than I did, I still think it's worth playing if it looks interesting to you. That seems like a good price.
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll give it a try right now.
...
Oh, I see the music is faster now. This is closer to the original, right? I can't tell because I used to play Doom with the music off back in the day.
House of the Dead 1 and 2 are Switch bound.
I have no clue why I put the PS4/Vita versions since I knew they didn't have it either. Brain fart moment.
Thanks for the information.
Great games. I wonder how it'll work without light guns on the Switch.
Holy nuts! And by the same peeps who are remaking Panzer Dragoon at that. SEGA must've cut them a sweet deal and/or have a lot of confidence in them to greenlight another remake before PD is out. Regardless, I'm totally in!
There's the labo VR blaster but that might be overkill (jerking your head around just to shoot on a static screen would get old fast, i think). I don't think you can just use the IR on the joycon without some kind of sensor like the wii had. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
Just picked up "Mark of the Ninja Remastered". I never played it but figured i can't go wrong at that price.
Great gem of a game! I forgot it came out on Switch, it's cool :)
Only played XII and it's fantastic. Definitive version if you ask me. Even some improvements over the PS4 version of Zodiac Age and looks great in handheld as well as docked.
Alright I've got 100 in credit and my eyes on these.
Phoenix Wright Trilogy - $40
Yooka Laylee - $25
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom - $37
Fight N' Rage - $25
Ori and the Blind Forest - $25
Sayonara Wild Hearts - $16
Masters of Anima - $10
So far the only one I'm really interested in is Monster Boy, and I have the demo downloaded. It's also been a long ass time since I've touched Phoenix Wright and I want to return to it.

Definitely Ori for one. I enjoyed Phoenix Wright, but I could not get through all three in a row. I played the first one and put it down for months before getting to the next one.
I should probably play the Ori demo I got too now that I think about it.
And yeah I wouldn't play Phoenix Wright all in one go since that's three VNs while I still haven't beat VA11-HALLA, which is probably an indication I should focus on the one instead of buying another one that isn't even on sale.
Dude. VA-11 HALL-A was way better then Phoenix Wright. Get on that.
Well I'm not reading an actual book anymore so I might as well.
Fake anime cyberpunk lesbians ahoy!
Nice, Rabi-Ribi is finally coming out on Switch. One of my favorite games I have on Steam. I will have to double dip eventually.
If you like bullet-hell and Metroidvanias, don't sleep on it. In my eyes, it's on par with Hollow Knight, despite the atmosphere and art lacking in comparison. The boss fights are just so fun to die on repeatedly and eventually overcome them.

*heavy breathing*
EDIT: I looked the game up and now wholly regret posting this.
Bastion + Transistor were insta buys as I wanted those deep discounts when NA got them weeks ago. As was Icey which Ive wanted on pc for ages and even there it rarely goes on sale, and lastly Gorogoa which I hear is fantastic but short, so 50% off is the right price for it.
The rest will take some pondering as most of the discounts are low.

really shockingly great game I have onPS4, but I ran into an issue. The way you change difficulty in game is strange and I accidentally hit a button that lowered the difficulty and did not mean to, and then found out you can't raise it again after lowering it. So hours into the game I was stuck with a joke easy difficulty that sapped all the fun. I can't remember the specifics but it was way too easy to change and either the button prompts for it were confusing or it was worded oddly. So great game but BE careful when on any screen that has option to lower/increase difficulty!!
I bought Transistor during that sale. Bastion, I've already played several times on several platforms, so I'm done with that one.
Awesome. Wonder if anyone'll compare pre-patch to post. Dark1x , any bandwidth for a video addendum? Would be great!
There's an NPC (Skullo) that asks if you want to lower the difficulty. I don't remember if there's any other places to do that.
Hate it when this happens. With the exception of 3 games (that have all only just come out), my entire wish list is on sale right now.
Does anyone have any particular burning opinions - positive or negative - on the below?;
- Flashback, as a game in general
- Crash Trilogy, as a Switch port
- Mortal Kombat 11, as a Switch port

I'm so glad Wandersong is back on sale! I'll pick it up now but probably won't get to it till after Zelda, Luigi's Mansion and (pending reviews/impressions) Yooka-Laylee. I'm very much looking forward to playing it, though.

Kinda late reply, but the FFXII port is outstanding. So many QoL features and improvements, looks really good, runs flawlessly.
It made me love FFXII, now it's in my top 3 FF easily. If you've never played it I recommend it without question.
Have you played the original Prince of Persia or Out of this World? If you have, do you like them?
Stiff, clunky, platforming. Great atmosphere. Cool locations.
I looked up Wandersong and now I want to buy it but I'm vague on the gameplay. So you just walk up to people and sing to them? I'm kinda confused.
Since you mentioned it: Dark1x , congrats on that Doom video. The Switch Lite video by Richard was also great. You guys are truly awesome. I'll probably become a Patreon in the near future because I want you guys to get rich and make as many videos as you can ^_^
Thanks for all the great Digital Foundry stuff!
Only played XII on the Switch and it's a phenomenal port. It's apparently not native res in handheld but I honestly couldn't tell since I think it's one of, if not the best looking Switch game in handheld mode.
Then there are the additions/improvements such as a respec option and the inclusion of gambit sets. With the portability aspect as well as all the improvements, it's easily the definitive version of XII IMO.
I'm not sure on what the gameplay is like, I think it might be an Oxenfree type game, like, narrative-based platforming with some puzzle-y platforming. It seems similar to Wuppo in style, too.
I think ghibli99 may have recommended it to me, but apologies if I'm thinking of the wrong user.
Also, regarding your above post, I know you are a big fan of Hollow Knight, so I'll just say I personally prefer Ori but they are two very different takes on the Metroidvania genre. Ori is more focused on platforming, especially setpiece platforming. There are still Metroidvania elements to it for sure, though. It's an absolutely amazing game and I love it, one of my favorite games of all time for sure, but I've seen some HK fans not be as keen on it so I'm just mentioning this so you don't expect it to be super similar to HK. I can't emphasize enough how great the game is, though. The gamefeel, presentation and soundtrack are sublime.
It's a pretty unique game, unlike any other I've played. Extremely uplifting game. Singing is the basic mechanics and used in different ways, but the singing is also supported by visuals. It was a while since I played through it, but it had some light platforming as well, IIRC.
Thanks to the multiple replies about FINAL FANTASY port quality, XII sounds ace.
I am actually mid-way through VII at the moment and thinking of jumping to X afterwards. The sale has strengthened this thought somewhat.
I am thinking of making a thread with recommendations after completing VII (assuming I do finish it!), as it's the first FF game I've played and not sure whether to goto VIII or not.

Would you compare to Night in the Woods in terms of gameplay? Heavy focus on narrative with some occasional light puzzle/platforming?
Yeah I've heard really good things about Ori, just gonna give the demo a whirl to get a feel of it first.
Okay as long as it's not a walking simulator with no gameplay I can handle it. I need some engagement with gameplay.
It's on the list.
Speaking of, anyone here ever play Oxenfree?
what? I LOVED Phoenix Wright, are you telling me there is an even better cyberpunk game on the Switch??
Was on the fence on the MK11 Switch version since it came out, but it is a great port!
Not the best version, of course, but really solid!
Played through all the campaign and a dozen online matches, all without any issue and with a solid framerate!
The Crypt thing is surelly but
If you like MK, you can buy it without any fear of its quality!
edit: double post, sorry. Mobile going weirdo
