I also picked up Horizon Chase Turbo last week and I've got mixed feelings on it. It's pretty smooth and quick and there seems like a decent amount of content. Races don't hang around too long and the challenge isn't too onerous. But it plays a bit like this -



The connection of the car to the road just seems missing. I know it's aping that Outrun style but it just doesn't feel quite right to me.

I've also just picked up Bastion in the sale because I don't have enough things to play already. :fp:


I nearly bought Horizon Chase last week, but luckily I waited long enough for it to go on sale on PSN for less than £8. Eshop sales are strawberry floating terrible compared to the other platforms.

Dat Switch Tax! Seriously though, I don't mind spending a couple of quid more as I'm infinitely more likely to play it on Switch due to the convenience.

Yep there or https://savecoins.app do the job for me!

Switching region is as easy as going to https://accounts.nintendo.com/profile/edit and choosing where you want to buy from, then just pick it up on the eShop! :toot:

Have you found all the Korok seeds?! :shock:

See when you do that, it unlinks your “my nintendo” account and your other one (can’t remember the name). What does linking these actually provide? I managed to relink them again once I was done, but I wasn’t sure why I was doing it.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever linked any accounts so I haven't had any problems there.

Yes I’ve wasted that much time :slol:

To be honest I stumbled across a large number of them just whilst out exploring.

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is on sale at £11.24 in the eShop. I've always liked the look of the game but the reputed difficulty has put me off. Have any GRcadians given it a go?

I've played through the main campaign. It's a decent challenge but is nowhere near being punishingly hard. Also for what it's worth I liked it a lot.

I really liked Shovel Knight, not so much Plague Knight and I still need to play Spectre’s campaign (although from what I’ve heard it’s good), easily worth just over £11 though and you’ve still got a couple of DLC packs to come as well (in another campaign and a battle royal type thing).

It’s hard, but none unfairly so.

I'm not playing anything as Nintendo never replied to me and I can't yet stomach the idea of paying £80 or whatever it is for a new dock. :(

All three campaigns are great. I think Spectre of Torment is the best one. But yeah, it's a fantastic game, and it really is not that hard.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, guys! I'd like to get it but I've gone a bit crazy picking up games recently... will have a think about it.

I feel like I want to buy it again. I own the Wii U E shop version and the retail one.

Those vouchers, are they a one time purchase only?

Not sure, maybe you get 2 vouchers that are redeemable separately but you have to use them within a year of buying them. Was interested in SMM2 digitally and was always going to buy MUA3 so I might give this a go later (supposedly the scheme is already live).

EDIT: You could also save a little more by topping up your eshop using credit from CDKeys and going through Quidco. Not much less, think it's 2%.
