Still not live in the U.K. So odd because the U.K. eShop has updated.
Also the news channel says that the game is now available but it isn't yet playable.

Really looking forward to impressions of this one. Unfortunately, I don't have time to check it out myself right now. Excited for this to unlock for all of you though :)
Just checked again now. Still not playable. I'm gonna hard reset my Switch.
EDIT: Reset my Switch and still not playable. My pre-load updated to v1.01. But won't let me start the game. "You cannot play this software yet."
Looks like the game isn't available in some EU countries yet. (Portugal, UK, Italy,..) I don't know why.
Not if it is still in the game as mentioned in the TrustedReviews review, right?
If they were played pre release code they might not have patched it out. They said they were removing it mere days ago.
Of course not. I'm trying to determine if it's worthwhile for me. I just don't see enough uniqueness. I'm wondering what others are seeing.
played an hour, sound and gfx are on point but it is really easy so far...need to spend more time with it to say more. It is unique because of the silly humour and enemies.
i hope it ramps up difficulty wise because yeah, too easy...everything moves fairly slow
You should be fine. This game doesn't seem super challenging.
It doesn't always help. Iconoclasts for instance didn't work on me at all.
1.74 euro is amazing on the mex shop, shame I can't access that bastard with my CC. 15.5 in South Africa for fellow EU players but I'm not really interested at the moment. The 16 bit parts look amazing though.
Not gonna bother really, if I want to play something the price doesn't matter.
I only asked because you mentioned that you can't use your CC on that specific eShop, fair dos.
albeit the game isn´t super challenging it is just great.
the look, the sound, the feel is top notch! definitely recommend for retro gamer and oldschool lovers!
this is a modern classic for sure

Yes, you'll be fine. My impressions- https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-messenger-ot-ninja-in-a-cursed-world.64935/page-2#post-12047693
The game does start off easier than things get, but I can't say I've struggled with anything at the point where I am now in the game (having completed the first part of the game, which felt like a complete game by itself!).
Yeah I've been playing during my lunch break lol. I'm in the Catacombs now. Enjoying it so far and I really love the writing!
It's a blast and it just keeps getting better. I marked out when I got to the 16-bit stuff for the first time. Felt like completing an NES game and then getting to play its SNES sequel immediately! XD
Yeah, it was a price mistake that's been fixed now. It was a tenth of that price before, and was only purchaseable if you added it to your wishlist in a different region before switching to the Mexico eshop. (At least when I did it)
Really wish the conversation going into this game among gaming outlets wasn't "wow so many metroidvanias this summer" but I guess I understand. Hope it is a success!!
I don't usually buy digital indies like this right at launch, but something about this one really speaks to me. Very cool so far! Glad to hear it isn't extremely demanding either. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy games like that too, but Celeste is just kicking my ass, so this will be a good breather.
Hm, I'm not quite feeling this game yet. So far, the bosses have offered zero challenge. The dialogue is absolutely terrible, and the music is nowhere near as good as I had hoped it would be. Oh well, I'll keep on playing. Hopefully it will get better.
This was such a pleasant surprise. Looks so great.
From everything I saw, this issue was the only thing leaving me iffy. Will buy and dive in now without qualms.

I played through the first areas and first boss, then did a bit of the next area. I like this game. Great controls, great visuals and catchy tunes. I'm playing the Switch version in portable mode. So far it's one of the more immediately appealing indie / pixel art games I've played in a while. (I dislike most rogue likes and most forms of random generation, which I find to be the single worst design crutch).
It really is!
I've only played an hour but this game is FANTASTIC. It just feel so damn good. They nailed it.
This seems to play really well. I've only played about 30 minutes but I can see the quality already.
