Nothing reminds me how bad the eshop is like a good sale

You mean the layout of the shop? It’s pretty bad, I tend to just add games to my wish list and whenever a sale starts I just go through that list to see what the prices are on the stuff I am interested in

Yeah this combined with using other sites like https://eshop-prices.com/ and http://www.dekudeals.com means I only ever use the eShop to complete the actual purchase of something

Yeah this is usually what I do, but the fact that as far as I can tell, there isn't a way to just browse the games in the sale is crazy.

There is a sale section, it just gives you all the games in a massive list though, no way to filter anything.

yeah you can see everything that's on sale, but that includes stuff that's already been on sale for weeks

Good old Nintendo

Absolute Drift feels loads better when I’m playing with my proper pad rather than the joycons, the joycons are great for most stuff but racing games just isn’t one of them barring Mario Kart in my opinion.

Few more games seem to have been added to the sale overnight, Spiritfarer is now under £16, Risk of Rain 2 also on sale and Hypnospace Outlaw can be had for under £8

Pro controller has started drifting

Carrion is strawberry floating great match for the Switch and £12 BTW. Interested in that since the original trailers showed how much thought has gone into creating a dynamic player character. The analogue sticks are a little sensitive but you get into it. Headphones and the soundtrack sucks you in too.

Getting strong super metroid vibes but altogether completely different mechanics. It's like playing as a metroid boss.

I've picked up over 30 indie games for the Switch in under 60 days since getting the console, it's crazy and worth trawling through the eshop. I've not really bothered with reviews as we all know it'll be a 6 or 7 for everything anyway. It's pub money this. Maybe the only thing I'm a bit disappointed with is Fear Effect Sedna and there are some really unique experiences on there. Sure most of these are probably on Steam as well but I'll never actually play them there. I attack these before going to sleep and it's a great way to get some time to myself.

Did anyone try the Nakana.io games? They were all on sale, I knew absolutely nothing about them. I like the small discounts you sometimes get if you own any game by the same publisher. I've never seen that on another platform.

Carrion was really good but badly needed a map.

Yeah I kind of feel that way already but at least the traversal is really fast with no tricky jumps etc and something the fan base can easily fill in like with dark souls etc, I can see the screens probably get very samey
