Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

Discuss downloadables on the Wii U Nintendo Switch here!

Balladeer The Cappuccino Kid makes another topic for entirely selfish reasons. A few of the CVGers sound cunts have been talking about Zen Pinball Shovel Knight: does anyone have it? Is it any good?

Aye! Yacht Games are bringing Shovel Knight to the Switch, with it's Shovel of Hope, Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment campaigns:

Does that mean that you don't have a version of Shovel Knight, Cappa? If not, you should totally get it as soon as you can for 50p; if you've got it already, my mistake.

Minimum requirement: the eShop works at launch. If there's anything worth buying, that'll be a bonus, in my humble, unsubtle and often wrong opinion.

...I'm going to buy this again, I never gave it a fair chance on the 3DS and y'all have been raving about it. Raving!

Yep, I think I'll rebuy this as well - my PC likely won't run Shovel Knight at an acceptable level anymore, and it's always felt like a game I should play on a Nintendo platform anyway.

I think I would also buy the game on Switch as I also didn't give it a fair go also hope we get a Nintendo extra level in the Switch version.

Sweet! If this comes to switch as a physical release I'll buy it again (for the third time) if not I'll just pick up the new campaigns and battles mode separately as they release.

Tomorrow Corporation are bringing World of Goo, Little Inferno and Human Resource Machine to the Switch's eShop on March 3rd:

Hmm. It's yet more old games that are being quickly ported for an extra buck...but World of Goo and Little Inferno are pretty good all the same. They're out on tablets and mobile stores for a couple of quid each though, so let's hope that nobody tries to rip the piss and sell them for fifteen quid a pop or anything like that. Mind you, is there anything on the Switch that isn't a complete rip-off?

If they're decently priced (surely? World of Goo is like ten years old now) then I'll give them a look. I've not played any of their games, but they do look alright!

One day I'll crack World Of Goo - lovely game that deserved more of my time. Good on them but I hope Cappa's right - they can't charge too much.

If Binding of Isaac which is £15 on PlayStation can be £40 on Switch, then I reckon Ballas gif is bang on.

Forty bastarding quid?? SHITE

Money for old NOPE

From a quick look I just had they are not the same game, afterbirth & afterbirth+ are expansions to the base BoI which I think was 15 quid & AB/AB+ were £8.99 each. So Switch is getting the base game & the 2 expansions for £40 bumped up by an extra tenner or so no doubt because it is out at retail as well.

So I'm willing to bet that this is just pricing for BoI itself and not all Switch eshop titles.

I was initially coming in here to say how good it is that the eshop for Switch is adding a few more things to maybe pick up on launch day.

You are right and I correct myself elsewhere, you do get the base game which is £15 and both Expansions which I seem to only able to find the one Afterbirth for £9. Plus may have been a free update but on the other systems it will cost you £24+ what ever Plus is, it still feels were getting the raw deal as in Europe it currently isn't a retail game, only if demand is their for it.

Stateside it is a retail game which seems to becoming with some sort of bonus with the first few thousand copies, which is cool but after that it be a normal retail version.

Okay what about Street Fighter II which is the same game as Xbox 360 which is £9.99 but seems Switch version is £39.99 for a whole two new characters and possible first person mode.

Christ. That is horrific pricing.

No idea but didn't they say they had more to announce besides that? So even with USFII & BoI being set at a retail level price I think it's still a stretch to say all e shop titles will be in the same range.

Well they've not announced the first person mode but we caught a brief look in a trailer of it, that if it is even a first person mode.

They've announced like Arcade Mode, Online Lobbies etc but none of this is new.

Where's it been said that Ultra Street Fighter II will be forty quid? That can't be true...

It was listed on the USA site for $40 which likely means £40, like how Super Bomberman R is $50 and £50 here in the UK. But could be slightly different as Switch their is $300 and £280 here but the point is it will be more then a tenner like on Xbox 360.

I was pleased at the news about Tomorrow Corporation's games. I might pick up one or two of them depending on certain factors, for instance 1) if Human Resource Machine is still very playable with thumbs on a 6" screen and 2) if World of Goo still supports HD Rumble.

I've already played through Little Inferno twice so I'm not so sure about that one. I adore its message though and I wouldn't mind having my memory jogged...

Well I've got a eShop title coming as I backed Hollow Knight which was PC/Wii U but the U version has been canned for Switch instead and unlike Yooka, it can't be cancelled.

Looks like a neat title - I'm always up for a Metroidvania.

That's a bit shoddy that they're not offering a refund on backers of the Wii U version - are they at least offering you to change your backing to a Switch or PC version? It's an innate risk with Kickstarter though, I suppose - it's by no means meant to be a preorder.

That does look quality! Any word on a release date?
