Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Switch eShop adds "Games on sale" section
- Thread starter Jonneh3003
- Start date
After the Splatoon 2 debacle I really hope they do.
Oh you have to go to Recent Releases first? That explains it. They should really just move that option to the menu bar on the left! Thanks.

Yeah, but if you buy physical and have GCU you get the game for 20% off + $10 reward points.... and some Collector's Coin that you can probably hock on eBay to a fool for $5.

You can also do it by clicking 'search' and then 'search filters'. That lists every single game on the eshop and you can organize it by release date (old to new plus new to old) and A-Z/Z-A.

May I have a cookie?
I'd really like for all games to have videos of gameplay on their respective pages and not just screenshot. I don't know if Nintendo charges extra for that or something but it's really missing when I want to better understand a game.
But honestly as long as great games keep coming to the platform at such an amazing pace I don't care too much if other services are bare bones.
I buy consoles to play games on them.

You get to wait like 3 years for a Nintendo Select.
Which means it wouldnt even show up on the eshop and be retail only. Further proving that retail is superior.
They weren't the first games ever to have sales though. Other games have had sales before.

Hope they have actually have decent sales that's comparable to PSN and Xbox Live flash sales. Because I don't recall Nintendo ever had big sales similar to the competitor.

As far as I know, Select pricing is reflected on the eShop as well.

good with gravy
Won't happen with 1st party games. Against Nintendo's philosophy

Demos section as well.
C'mon that's unreasonable, 15% off is bound to come sooner as an 'offers for you' birthday discount!I'll call you in 3 years when 1 2 Switch is 15% off

When will we get an "Apps" tab??? Seriosuly is there a reason we don't have media apps? Does Nintendo just say no to Netflix and stuff?
This please.
As far as I know from, Pokken is the only game on the Eshop with a demo and that can't be true.
the news section has stuff like "demos" "rpgs" "games under 10 bucks " etc... click on it and it will take you to the eShop with those games only in a category.
games on sale, top picks etc...
i think they want you to use the news section to free up clutter and speed up store browsing and purchasing. you search the word "demo" in the store too
I think if you type demo games with demos do pop up. Maybe not all of them tho. But I would love a demo's subsection.
Pokken, PuyoPuyo Tetris, Splenuky, Project Octopath, is all I can recall.
Spelunker World.
Eh, we all know the phone media apps will be way better and updated more often.

Yup.
Also several Nintendo games have become cheaper digitally than physically.
Game & Wario was discounted $10 to $30 and right now the cheapest new copy on Amazon is $75 plus shipping.
tick the "demo avaliable" option here
https://savecoins.me/games/all
Blaster Master, Disgaea, Just Dance, Oceanhorn, Pokken, Octopath, Puyo Puyo, Rayman, Snippeclips, Spelunker, Voez...
JP only demos includes dragon quest monsters, monster hunter and lost sphear
super mario 64 ds from 2004 is still full retail price

This and a demo tab were the two additions I was really hoping for. 1 down, 1 to go.

Same here. Trying to download Splatoon 2 on launch night was a nightmare. Odyssey will be worse if they don't allow preloading.
There's a demo section in the News place
Although, I haven't seen it update as of late

No, the section refers to the games on the eShop that can currently be purchased at a discounted price.

Oh I've seen that too, I just meant within the store itself, so that it is always available.
Now i wonder how they will design the page to redeem discounts using Gold coins.
We're all waiting for the glorious return of salesman bunny.
Not enough sales to bother is my first guess, and christmas being near is my second.
Yes yes yes.
Traditionally Nintendo's digital shops don't have HUGE price drops, but it's always nice to see a couple now and then that get me to jump into a game I missed. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of those with out many excellent games keep hitting the system lately.

Making their way toward being a modern storefront inch by inch.
On the to-be-added list:
On the to-be-added list:
- Pre-order
- Pre-load
- Media Apps
- Not being a complete clusterfuck of server issues whenever a major game releases.
- Midnight launches for non-first party games.
