Support NeoGAF

[SatoAilDarko]

I made a thread about this two weeks ago but didn't realize that even though Swap Fire was free you still got 20 Gold Coins. I'm sure this information will cause some people to bother download it. Good to know even though it doesn't show coins anymore for free stuff you still get the original value.

Here's the online store link:

My earlier OP is below:

So right now on the Wii U Eshop there's a game called Swap Fire being offered for free till April 9th. If you've seen the Eshop charts the last few weeks it's second behind BOTW.

According to the developers:

If you can't Switch 'em, Swap 'em!"
We know there are many reasons why people can't get a Switch. For example, our excuse is that we're broke! As a consolation prize we're offering up our game for free, which will hopefully ease the pain a little and help us find more players who might like Swap Fire.

It's a local multiplayer-focused game with a singlepayer mode base on the mechanic of shooting your opponent to swap position with them. It has multiple modes and support for 5 players.

As a fan of weird game and especially local multiplayer games that support more than 4 players this is super interesting to me. The developers seem really passionate about people playing if you're curious or think you may be it's free.

spacetime...

Swap Fire's a shooter with a literal twist. Shooting other players rips a hole in spacetime thus swapping your locations. You'll have to commit to losing in order to win in Drop Zone, manage spacetime to dominate the map in Control Point, master the art of teleportation to go for the gold in Swoccer, and much more!

Crazy fun couch multiplayer for up to 5 friends
Innovative "shoot to swap" mechanic is just as much about psychology as it is about reflexes

The Wii U's swan song, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Platy]

Looks like complete shit.

Downloading

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

What is the value of a Nintendo gold coin?

 

[Madao]

i'm sure downloading a game that looks worse than some N64 games is worth the HDD space and 20 coins...

 

[Stopdoor]

I love local multiplayer games, but this game is bad. It's really not worth talking up and recommending. The idea is cool, but the execution is barely passable and beyond janky. The menu and UI is abysmal. The "story" stuff is bizarre and just a waste of time.

 

[ShadowFox08]

No it motion controls? Fff

What is the value of a Nintendo gold coin?

20 coins can be cashed in for 30% off the Zelda Oracle games on 3DS, so that comes out to $1.80 in exchange for the dignity of the software library tied to your Nintendo account. (I already compromised mine for coins months ago when the First Skunk Bundle was free, so no reservations about doing it again here.)

I've seen better looking asset flips on Steam's early access. No thanks.

Hmm... tempting...

 

[NoKisum]

I clicked this thinking it was some Wii U equivalent of Swapnote/Swapdoodle.

 

[Makki]

Keeping the Wii U will pay off... someday, somehow. In for the coins!

 

[Alchemy]

I'd totally do this if My Nintendo rewards were worth a shit

Looks like complete shit.

Downloading

lmao

 

[eternalthree]

redeemed. Thank you, OP

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Eh...I have 310 Gold Coins..I'm good.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Will download and then possibly Never play it

 

[Platy]

lmao

All you have to do is login on that page and click on buy and it will send a notice to your wiiu already download xD

 

[Maxinas]

Too bad they are absolutely worthless in value. I still don't understand how club nintendo, which had its share of flaws, was replaced by the total dogshit that is mynintendo.

 

[Neoxon]

Got it, thanks for the heads-up.

 

[-Horizon-]

Sure, why not, its free.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Hey there's like 20 minutes left for those four games at the end of the OP.

Everything except Severed actually has a physical version on Wii U.

I bought Severed as its real unique and crossbuy with 3DS.
