Nintendo eShop - November 2018

It will show them as purchased because you're accessing the eShop with the same flagged Switch console that you used to purchase the games on a different region but it won't allow you to re-download them from a different eShop/account. You'll need access the eShop with the specific account you've used previously to finalize the purchase to be allowed to re-download and such.
I grabbed mine from Amazon.es but I think every Amazon have them nowadays
So I finally put a nail in Steredenn and made it through at least one loop (phew!). I have Doom and Curse of the Necrodancer on my plate next, but I'd love to play something kind of chill on my Switch. Been playing a lot of roguelites and slightly more difficult games with a lot of hard grinding... anyone have any suggestions for something cheap and relaxing (say... $25 and under)?
I like all kinds of games, but have found myself enjoying platformers and lite RPGs or Metroidvanias lately. Bloodstained, Hollow Knight, Steamworld Dig 2, Steredenn, and Enter the Gungeon have all been great... I just want something that doesn't increase my heart rate two-fold!
I'm looking at Rayman Legends, Moonlighter, Mario + Rabbids (on sale), Lumines, and Gorogoa, but I'd love to hear other suggestions!
Edit: I have Stardew on my PC, but never really got into it. Everyone says it's chill, but it looks like the game runs on a schedule and you have to run around town a bunch and hope to hit deadlines? Am I just getting that wrong? Would be willing to double dip, but had a bad first impression of this one.

A turn based strategy game would be my recommendation, one of the following:
- Mario + Rabbids
- Steamworld Heist
- Into the Breach
Alternatively if you like engaging your grey matter try:
- Human Resource Machine
- 7 Billion Humans
Finally grabbed Rayman Legends, I already own it on Xbox One and PS4 but I didn't play it much, tho I knew it was gonna be my jam and €13 was a great deal for digital.
What was wrong with the Switch port? Iirc it was loading times but maybe they've been fixed since they're perfectly normal now, they're like 5/6seconds (of course it's too bad it does have loading at all, unlike PS4/xbox).
One thing I want to compare tonight with PS4/Xbox is controls lag, I don't remember the characters being this heavy but I'm probably misremembering.
Game is packed with content and looks phenomenal on handheld mode btw.

I've played all the games you're looking at, my personal ranking would be:
Moonlighter - I really dig this game and the flow of it. It's fairly easy-going, there's depth, and you're supporting a small dev.
Rayman Legends - Pretty game, not sure what the cost is but super fun from when I played it back on Xbox 360/One.
Gorogoa - Great 2-3 hour experience. I'm not very good at puzzle games, this one was challenging for me but incredible to see how it was designed.
Mario + Rabbids - I liked it ok, feels a bit overhyped to me.
Lumines - Never really got into this despite trying. Just not my thing.
One you might not have played that would be a decent pick-up on sale is Bomb Chicken.
For Phantasy Star, I know you won't get the western version as they don't match, despite both having English.
Everspace had a 20% preorder bonus. Man I really want this to run well on Switch. It looks like they have Pc screens in the shop page which is always concerning, the last shot is of the menus on the Switch but I want to hear that it runs well.
It is play anywhere and X enhanced on Xbox but I realy want that portability.

I got my fill of the free mobile game, also have it on Apple TV. I'm not getting the Switch version. I think that there isn't really enough variety in the game. I got really bored of it really quickly. It looks great though. Lovely 60fps graphics and real nice music.
That's why I'm asking, I really like the mobile version, but whats the incentive to spend 20$ if it's marginally different, I don't know, that's why I'm asking
Mud Runner is great! It doesn't have perfect frame rate or resolution but honestly this is enough for this kind of a slow game. All physics are really amazing! There is a challenge mode where you have missions where you can do different objectives and bonus objectives. Then there is the main game which is a very free form game on an open world map which you can choose from different alternatives. And I had no idea before buying this game that it actually has an online co-op up to four players! Tested with some strangers and it worked as good as single player game. You can create a friend or public lobby.
I'm simultaneously pleased it turned out so good (no doubts with M2) and jealous as hell! One of my favourite games of all time.
So delighted to have this on Switch. I was satisfied enough with the 3DS version, but this is as close as it gets to a perfect home conversion for my money.

What display options are there?

Worth buying if you have the 3DS version already?
I bought SteamWorld Heist Ultimate Edition on sale yesterday.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that this game is freakin' awesome.
I would also like you all to know I am hitting myself for not playing this game THREE YEARS AGO on 3DS. WTF was I thinking

Hell yeah. That's one of my top 5 Switch games right there.
Just so you know, you can fully delete a game's icon from your library when you're done playing it.

I put so much time into the 3DS version. It was a brilliant release (as were all of their efforts), bought the physical collection just for Power Drift, and bought Thunder Force IV on Switch. The Phantasy Star US release in a couple weeks can't come soon enough!
Lol - I also bought the physical collection just for Power Drift!
Oh wow, I didn't know about that. That's awesome! And yes, I hope for the same things. I have Garegga for PS4, but would buy again to play it in tate mode handheld with that flip grip. I might never get out of bed if that happened. LOL
I'm pleasantly surprised we're just now starting to see advance reviews roll out for the Switch version of SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Classics. Thought for sure we wouldn't get them until the 7th or later, but the embargo (if there was any) was lifted today:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/sega-genesis-classics
Worth noting that the GiaG review (which happens to be the most negative one) doesn't seem to be accessible on their site anymore so who knows what the deal is with that.
And some other reviews I found:
https://www.cnet.com/news/sega-genesis-classics-on-nintendo-switch-is-handheld-sega-perfection/
https://www.finder.com.au/sega-mega-drive-classics-switch-review
https:///game-review-sega-genesis-classics-switch/
https://m.vidaextra.com/analisis/se...ndo-switch-analisis-review-precio-experiencia
The latter review via Google Translate:
"In short, beyond the undeniable quality of many of the games included in SEGA Mega Drive Classics, based almost exclusively on its potential to enter us by sight with that recreation of our childhood room and Challenges that will challenge us . Here at least beat PS4 and Xbox One thanks to that option to play the classics in portable mode. But little more."

Quick question about the eshop sale:
It ends tomorrow (29th)
Does that mean that the sale ends midnight tonight, midnight tomorrow, or at some other time during tomorrow
Sorry if I've worded this badly

It ends tonight on the 28th at 11:59PST (3am for the east coast).
Yeah you were right, I deleted one of my games to see if the JP eShop prompted me to download it but nope, it only shows it's purchased.
Oh well, still got Outrun, no way I'm waiting.
Oh I meant how do you know that. Did you get a review copy already? Not that I'm doubting you, just want to make sure it'll be the case (it's okay if you can't talk about it tho).
Horizon Chase Turbo is awesome, so far seems to runs at 60 FPS both docked and handheld with not a single stutter.
I want to know how you folks feel about comments made by Reggie in a recent Kotaku interview with regards to classic Nintendo titles on Switch.
According to Reggie, there's no plan to release a N64 Classic Mini anytime soon and they seem dead-set on leaving it at NES games for Nintendo Online Services for the foreseeable future. He says that they see that as the primary means of providing classic titles going forward while also implying they are in no rush to get to the later generations of hardware.

So that's grim.
I'm sticking with the 3D, it looks amazing.

How much do like OutRun?

That's good to know! I am not 100% sold on its art style, but I quite enjoyed the demo I played (on PS4).
Beat Gorogoa today. Great game! The way you have to solve puzzles by moving pictures around whether it be to find out which image connects to another as well as drag a picture away to get a new one is really novel. A fresh take on the puzzle genre and found myself going "Ah Ha!" plenty of times when I finally found the solution to either obtain a fruit or move on within the puzzle. Now it will be onto Bloodstained as I'm going from one game I bought on the sale to the next!
I absolutely adored Gorogoa. I had to ration my playing of it to prevent it from being over too quickly.
Yeah I'm going to get the physical version. I remember playing the original on release and it gave my PC at the time quite the workout so I'm excited to check it out. Thanks for the impressions.
I wonder if the lack of VC is a means to give Indies a bigger fighting chance. If that's the reason, then I'm all for it. The competition with Nintendo titles was always fierce on their platforms.
