I second that. Steamworld Heist is brilliant.

[dizogg]

Cool. Think I might go for that.

 

Unfortunately the Nintendo eshop is currently down for planned maintenance

It isn't. I just downloaded Slime-San.

[Marlew]

It was from about 9:45pm for about an hour.

 

Good choice!

It was when I wrote that... are you claiming I made it up? 

[bowser123]

I think it was down so it could update. You can now use your my Nintendo gold coins to get money off all Switch games.

[Quest]

I have about 1000 gold coins, so about a tenner. Not really sure what I want to spend it on.

 

Anyone played Mercenaries Saga? Any good?

I don’t understand why I have so few. I’ve bought loads of games and only have 60 gold coins!

[SMD]

Did you switch eshop region?

[Stanley]

I have 198 Gold points how do I spend them, do I have to do it online or on the Switch itself?

[Super Craig]

You get asked at the payment screen on the Switch. Not sure how it works on the web site.

[Stanley]

Ok cool thanks.

Same on the website - you can choose to redeem any number of your points against a purchase - so not just all or nothing.

 

[Stanley]

Worth noting they expire at different dates too. Some of mine expire this month.

[Super Craig]

Yeah. I had over 1,000 when they announced this and was down to 640 this morning.

[Not Thread Owner]

I've lost hundreds too.

[rgraves]

You can see what points are going to expire and when here:

[Wallpaper]

Its only been giving me 14 points though on cart games?

[rafaqat]

What can I do with platinum points?  I have 360 and some are to expire end of this month.

Fuck all.

 

Unless you want some 3DS themes or money off some shite you can get cheaper elsewhere anyway.

You get 1% on carts, 5% on digital content from the eShop. Before today, it was 1% on everything.

 

It's not much, but it is essentially free money that you can use to spend on anything you want. And they always give you the % of the full retail price as well, regardless of the purchase price (so if you buy an eShop game in a sale, you get credit for it at full price regardless).

[scottcr]

I've got 6 quid to spend - looks like I'll get Bayonetta for 19 quid.  That'll do.

[rgraves]

Does anyone know, or has anyone heard, if they'll be doing a digital Labo bundle?

 

I know I need the cardboard bit obviously, but are they doing a bundle with a download code rather than a cart included?

lol.  Awesome.  It seems to be forcing me to buy a fucking points box so I can have a box on mynintendo that shows me how many points I have...

Eurogamer: Diablo III IS coming to Switch (but seemingly not for a while yet)

 

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-03-06-sources-yes-diablo-3-is-coming-to-nintendo-switch

 

Quote

Last week, Blizzard set tongues wagging with an apparent tease for a Diablo game on Nintendo Switch. The image - of a Diablo night light being repeatedly switched on and off - felt fairly deliberate.

 

But then, after hours of fan excitement, an official response emerged from within Blizzard apparently designed to dampen down the flames: "As of now, we do not have any current plans to announce Diablo for Switch," a spokesperson told us.

 

So, what's going on? Well, while Blizzard makes its mind up, Eurogamer sources have told us that yes - the project is very much in production. And as you might expect, the game will be a port of Diablo 3.

 

Our sources could not confirm whether the game's Reaper of Souls and Rise of the Necromancer expansions will be included - but at this point it would be surprising if they were not.

 

In its earlier statement, pouring cold water on the rumours, Blizzard described the Twitter post as simply "a fun engagement piece". Eurogamer sources with knowledge of the project told me they were surprised to see it, as the game's announcement remains several months off.

 

So, what did happen last week? It feels like a none-too-subtle social media tease blew up larger than expected - and while Blizzard often encourages speculation about its upcoming releases, Nintendo typically does not.

It gives you the 10 points necessary to do it though!

[mdn2]

I have over a 1000 points. Think I'll put it towards Night In The Woods. I like the look of it, but £17 seemed a bit rich for what I assume I something I'll play through once. Over a tenner off makes it definitely more palatable.
