Nintendo Specials

I wouldn't be surprised if the pre-switch titles are iffy to play on Switch. I noticed that with one of my fav oldies - Star Wars Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast - it really was built for WASD + mouse and doesn't translate well to Switch... still for R300...

I'm keen to try the Thief series on switch.

Review says controls was updated.

the nintendo online store has changed for south africa it seems. our wishlists are empty and there are no more digital games for sale, only physical games. and the selection is very small now. anyone know what's up?
 
Just skip the hi-jacked address ie:

Goto

Or use a VPN
thanks :)
hopefully the different region doesn't just block the game downloads.

i emailed them to find out and this was their response:

With regards to your query, thank you for contacting us about Nintendo eShop access.

You can continue to access Nintendo eShop directly on your Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 console. Access to Nintendo eShop is no longer available directly through www.nintendo.co.za following the website content management transition.

TY.

I normally never use the official Nintendo web page for browsing digital games, always used

As they have a lot more info vs official site anyway.

Looks like this is not the OLED version -right :/

How do they still have the LED version lying around...

They only plan to stop selling Switch 1 next year. ie: they where still making them in 2026 (Both LCD & OLED)
And they only stop making them cause of new EU battery regulations.

Ah... replacing mine because it has water damage. Was hoping to get the Switch 2 but its still just too expensive.
There are no specials on OLED then... which would have been a small upgrade.
 
Wait for Black Friday?
Chances of getting any deal are low on the actual day are low... I think this is probably my best option.

Only hesitation is that I have Mario cart 8 already. Would be nice to get one of the other games. I saw a minecraft deal as well but looks like its gone...
