If I add £10 to my UK account and then change my region to Mexican will the £10 convert too?

 

[giancarlo123x]

The version for this price contains everything?

No. In fact, you will lose your 10 quid if you change the region of your account.

Yes

 

[Jonneh3003]

Is there an easy place to buy Mexican eshop credit? Google searches arent giving me much

 

[iBlue]

Mexico is part of north America so I think all dlc (USA,mexico,Canada) work in any account

Can I just buy an American eshop card then or will that not work? It won't accept my UK Visa.

 

[essenn]

It works with my Canadian Visa
I won't get banned for doing this right?

No. It's a different currency. So it won't work. You will really need a mexican eshop card or a credit card that will work on the mexican eshop

 

[inc77]

Thanks! Bought, and works for me!

Yes

And bought it. Thanks for the tip!

 

[Conrad Link]

Has anyone outside of the Americas (US, Canada etc) got their card to be accepted yet?

None of mine work. :'(

None of mine work. :'(

I wonder if something like a prepaid Visa would work.

 

[aett]

This worked with my American Visa card! Fantastic. I was an original day one backer for Shovel Knight and have the game on my 3DS, and wanted to wait for a sale to get a copy for my Switch. Thanks!

 

[Seanlole]

I bough it with no problems. i just changed the region to buy it,

thanks for the info.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

oh damn just did it! Thanks OP.


First time player here, GAF constantly raves about this so I hope its good

Too bad i'm not going to play this until im done with zelda lol

 

[lantus]

Well, I went ahead and got it. I used a card with no foreign transaction fee just in case. This feels so awkward on a Nintendo console, especially because of how easy it was haha.

I'm only on day three with this console and I already have a backlog with Zelda, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight, and Bomberman. Not to mention that I have Binding of Isaac coming in less than two weeks.

Impossible. Switch only has Zelda. I don't believe you.

 

[Dremorak]

Also I think positive talk about switch is a ban-able offence.

 

[BronzeWolf]

If people want it, I could sell you eshop codes for +5%

Problem is, there are only $200 $500 and $1000 denominations. So it would be the same in the end.

Is there a way to buy codes for other people?

 

[Inotti]

Have any of you tried virtual credit card services if your local cc doesn't work with mexican eshop? My Finnish cc didn't work but at least I was able to download some free demos from japanese eshop. I'm going to try entropay later and tell you how it goes.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

So is this the same technique people are doing to download demos on other regions?

 

[SuperSah]

How do I do this in the UK?

 

[RoadHazard]

Pretty tempting, as the game is the equivalent of $28 here in Sweden...

 

[Brat-Sampson]

How do I do this in the UK?

You basically can't apparently. Setting up the account is easy, but it looks like only Americas-based cards are being accepted, you can't gift games and you can't buy a suitable amount of Mexican eshop credit anywhere

I already tried Entropay, didn't work.

Neither did Revolut.

Virtual Cards like those are always hit and miss with certain services anyway.

 

[Shari]

This is nice, thanks for the heads up.

Is there a cheaper region for Fast RMX?

Edit: Just saw this only works for Americas. Fuck that.

I was just about to write that as well. Entropay didn't work for me either. Oh well, I just bought the game from Finnish eshop.

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

Everything suggested for us UK peeps hasn't worked sadly

Do you know if you could make an account, have someone in US/Mexico buy the game on the account then download it on my switch?
Or are the accounts kind of console based still?

 

[TheGreenArrow]

Jumped on this real quick. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Haines]

I'm surprised they never fixed the price

 

[RoadDogg]

And bought, curious to see if they revoke it as some point.

 

[Poppyseed]

Why would they revoke it? It's region free, as advertised. If something is cheaper in a different region, people will buy it there.

 

[Dremorak]

Those of us outside of the US will probably just have to wait for it to come out in japan. Any word on the release date there?

 

[Vital Tundra]

Any downsides to getting the Mexican version?

 

[mieumieu]

I paid full price for the US version and no regrets. They deserve all those extra money from me. I already have the PSN, PC ans 3DS version with amiibo.

 

[13ruce]

Bought for full price and honeslty don't regret it awesome retro game.

Owned the game on vita and ps4 but never played it lol beside 1 stage with shovel knights campaign.

 

[RoadDogg]

Because you have to lie about where you live to get it? It told me when I changed my region that I was confirming I lived there. I am sure the eula covers their right to revoke things as they see fit.

 

[Dude Guy]

I bought the Specter of Torment instead of treasure trove by accident lol. No ragrets, I already had Shovel Knight on 3DS anyway 😂

 

[Poppyseed]

Hmm, that makes little sense to me then to have region-free titles?

 

[ryan299]

Looks like i'm too late. It's up to 499 which is 25 bucks.

 

[RoadDogg]

Hmm, that makes little sense to me then to have region-free titles?

Region free to me was always intended to allow you to pick up a game while traveling. At least that was how I understood why the gameboy was region free. It wasnt meant to buy from the cheapest region. Digital obviously makes things muddy but I still think this would fall outside the realm of OK by their eula. I should read it one day...

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

Is this null and void now then? Was looking forward to playing it but the price seems a little but steep.
