Humble Nintendo Indie Bundle for the Americas
- Thread starter C-Drive
- Start date
Wayforward had games in the AGDQ humble bundle.
It's not in the wikipedia list then.
That said, the recurring pattern is that the developers aren't new to humble. From there, we can probably guess the next entries.
My money is on Trine: Enchanted Edition.
Though that's one too recent.
Would be great since I don't have it, though I can buy it with the discount of having the sequel.
They are missing a few bundles. The AGDQ Humble Bundle had a couple Shantae games.
I imagine we'd see Trine 2 before Trine 1 (though I'd hope for 1 because I bought T2 years ago)

I wonder if this was started by NOA or by the developers approaching NOA with the idea.
Either way, I hope this is profitable enough for more console bundles to happen.
if the 3ds is american, you should be fine.

Maan, got all excited reading the email they sent me about it. How cool is this???

I just noticed that seemingly Nintendo are not taking a cut from this. There's no entry for them in the breakdown of the split of the money. Unless they are charging the developers the usual percentage after the fact (which would make the information presented a little misleading)
I wonder if that's the stumbling block for an Xbox/Playstation one. I can imagine both Sony and Microsoft would be unwilling to give up their 30% for any other retailer.

Maybe it's set between nintendo and the individual developer?

just a cool deal all the way around. money is a bit tight so I only could go the 10. Pretty cool they will add another on Tuesday. If the average price stays below 10 I get that too. made my night. thanks for posting all
Doesn't matter if the average moves, just that you paid above average when you did.
The average can go to a hundred bucks, you'll still get the extras.
Just a heads up, regardless of where the average goes from here, you are locked in to BTA bundle, it's how they encourage folks to pay a little more. So Enjoy everything you got/get.
beaten...
Indeed, that is one possibility, although I think a somewhat unlikely one.
Humble make a pretty big deal about the fact that you get to decide how to split up your spend between all the participants in a bundle. If Nintendo are taking a cut from developers, then the sliders where you pick how much to give a developer are inaccurate.
The more likely explanation to me is that Nintendo waived their usual cut. Perhaps something the licensing team at NoA was willing to do, but not NoE.

Nintendo giving Europeans more and more reasons not to buy a Nintendo console. Thanks Nintendo.

Thanks! Do we know if these numbers are accurate? Don't really trust wiki.
What I find weird is that between this bundle and the Wii U port of Bloodstained, I feel like I'm seeing an inordinate amount of angsty rage. I really don't see how this bundle can be construed of as a negative in any way...
Please let this be sarcasm... please....
Please let this be sarcasm... please....
I'm puzzled by this too -- this is an NOA/Humble thing. This has nothing to do with Europe -- NOE is in charge of their own deals. For that matter, why would this single sale make or break ANY decision to buy a 3DS or Wii U?ctw0e said:

Because I don't trust companies who choose to region lock everything. I don't care if it's Noa or Neo; I won't support it.

Why is that a issue of trust? Its simply not liking region locking. NOA already commented and said they tried to get it going on a global scale.

Well shit... If I would have known this I would have given a copy to my son and not kept the codes for myself like a horrible father.

Damn you are right. Got OlliOlli on my 3DS thats linked to the same account as my Wii U. This is great because my daughter and I both have 3DS(s) and I think it is crap that you cant have them on one account and share games. So now I can do the free cross buy on the same account and use the code on my second account 3DS. Thanks so much for sharing!
Doesnt seem Steamworld Dig works though

They are the reason I know about and want to play this game.

Super best friends also talked about it, if you go to their channel(thesw1tcher) they have a playlist of them playing the WiiU version of the game(altho there is a music glitch that happens in one of the parts)
It came out before they started doing crossplay.Doesnt seem Steamworld Dig works though
Also the console version is nominally an updated version, which is probably why Might Switch Force is also just the 3DS version and not both.

I already owned all of these games on other platforms but they are all damn good enough games to double dip on a fantastic bundle like this. We'll played.

I would imagine it'd be a nightmare for Nintendo Europe/third parties to try and do something similar, considering the PAL eShop is split up so much and you've got the likes of Australia and New Zealand missing so much content in the first place.
Retro City Rampage 3DS, WON'T BE one of the additional games. In case anyone expected it.
The developer reminded people on Facebook of the $5 sale ending this week and it not been bundled.
It is? I have $8 left on my Eshop wallet, I should get that tonight.
Which would normally not be an issue, but Nintendo continue to make a meal of their online experience IMO.

Only bonus game that I'm really hoping for is Shovel Knight for both systems. That would be great but I'm not expecting it.
I'd be very surprised if Nintendo wasn't directly making money from this. Let's not be too naive here.
they are probably not taking the usual cut for several reasons:
good graces of the indie devs
people are excited about their eShop
get people use to playing eShop titles
its a huge win for ninty in america. this thread is just full of people complaining about a regional sale....which has always been the case.
Some people take region locking as a personal insult.

I have Guacamelee on everything else, but it's a great game, so maybe I'll give the code away.
I already have Woah Dave
Mighty Switch Force on Wii U is ehh, and it's a remake/enhancement of the 3DS one so I really don't care.
A few of the other games are tempting, and I want to support more things like this... so I'll likely bite anyway.

If you pick up the bundle now, will you also get that mystery game they have yet to reveal?
