Jonnykong Member Oct 27, 2017 8,859 Hello everyone and welcome to the 2024 thread for all things eShop. I'm not entirely sure why I decided to create a new thread for the new year rather than carry on the old one, but here we are. I'm sure many of you are like me and love indie games, under the radar gems, bargains, Metroidvanias etc I think it's fair to say the Switch has been a superb home for playing indies, and hopefully this will continue with the new console which will more than likely be out this year. So please once again join in by telling us about whatever games you're loving on your Switch, and keep all your fingers crossed we get Silksong and Pizza Tower this year. If you want to discuss all things Nintendo we have a thread for that here Nintendo Community Discussions |OT3| It's Time To Move It Move It, We're In Our WarioWera!

Plucky Squire and Pepper Grinder look so good.   Ninjadom Member Oct 25, 2017 5,432 London, UK I got £50 worth of eShop credit for Christmas. And I still have one Game Voucher still to use. I think the only game coming in 2024 that I'm looking forward to is 'Mario vs Donkey Kong'. Seems a waste to use a whole Game Voucher on it though.   cowbanana Member Feb 2, 2018 16,188 a Socialist Utopia I just bought the Turrican Anthology Vol. I and Vol. II. - Both -70% for a more palatable price point. I also bought the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection (-50%).  Freezasaurus Member Oct 25, 2017 58,617 Jonnykong said: Which games are we all looking forward to in 2024? Click to expand...

Another Code: Recollection is at the top of the list right now, because it's the closest out of the 2024 releases I want to play.   basic_text Member Oct 27, 2017 3,324 Derby, UK Got Master Detective Archives: Rain Code for crimbo and I don't think I can carry on with it as it's faaaaar too horny for me. 😭   fiendcode Banned Oct 26, 2017 26,154 Just keep the Arcade Archives and EGG Console releases flowing and I'll keep buying.   Zonic Member Oct 25, 2017 36,844 Looking forward to seeing what retro titles get added to the NSO services. Also geeeeeez, I was looking over what was coming out in the next few months & it's stacked. Another Code Recollection, Mario VS. Donkey Kong, & that Princess Peach game. And that's on TOP of all the JRPGs (albeit, not hitting Switch) like Persona 3, Like a Dragon, & FF7 Rebirth. 2024's Q1 is more packed for me than most of 2023, damn. Oh damn, & I forgot about that Prince of Persia game that I'll probably wait for a sale on, & same goes to Apollo Justice Trilogy.  Last edited: Dec 31, 2023 Kadzork Has got mad skills!!

Looking forward to the Switch 2 reveal in like.. a week.. right?  .exe Member Oct 25, 2017 23,018 I'm most excited for Paper Mario TTYD. I don't think I'll be there day 1 unless I hit on some incredible deal, but I'd like to play it some time next year. There's still a lot I'd like to catch up on anyway. Some of the games I aim to start/finish in 2024: - Tears of the Kingdom - Pikmin 4 - SMB Wonder - Xenoblade 3 - DK Tropical Freeze - 13 Sentinels - Live A Live - Tactics Ogre - Paper Mario TOK - FE Engage So I've got my work cut out for me. I'm not dying to get a Switch 2 just yet.  Last edited: Dec 31, 2023 Mandos Member Nov 27, 2017 38,445 Megaton Musashi wired in April!   SwitchOverGaming Member Sep 6, 2023 482 I was going through the upcoming releases on the eShop and there was nothing that had me super excited atm. A direct or random pop up on the store could change that, but I have a giant backlog of games through various sales so I have plenty to keep me busy till we see what the Switch 2 eventually brings.   Easystride Member Oct 27, 2017 809 I've been so incredibly burnt out on RPGs and roguelikes lately that I decided to pick up the original Ace Attorney trilogy on sale for $10. Man, why did I sleep on this series so long?! Exactly what I needed in a palette cleanser before LAD: Infinite Wealth next month. How long is the original trilogy?   Radarscope1 Member Oct 29, 2017 3,069 So many sales right now. I want to drop money to start getting more retro collections on Switch to make it my go-to hardware for classic for years to come (assuming BC is happening). Coming up, I am getting the PoP game the first weekend for sure.  Rhaknar Member Oct 26, 2017 51,113 oh new thread? thought the old one would just continue since it didn't seem to be yearly. that title is brutal btw lol.  .exe Member Oct 25, 2017 23,018 I've been waiting for Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters to get a discount forever and so far no luck... I think I'll just buy it at the list price. It'll be worth it.   makonero Member Oct 27, 2017 11,049 Yggdra Union is on sale finally (in NA)!!!

There aren't limits to how many things you can add, and you can set perimeters to when you get emailed about discounts (like if you only want to know when a game drops below a certain price, rather than whenever it goes on sale at all). fiendcode said: Just keep the Arcade Archives and EGG Console releases flowing and I'll keep buying.

I appreciate their commitment to authenticity, but I've definitely been spoiled by modern emulator shell options.   shadowman16 Member Oct 25, 2017 40,802 Buttonbasher said: Agreed on both points.

Ive kinda gone from being against using save states to being more laid back. Its useful as a checkpoint if I want to take a break, or just set my own checkpoints if I dont wanna replay an entire game that has limited continues. I dont tend to save scum, but honestly who cares these days, rewind and save states are just super convenient and it really doesnt hurt peoples enjoyment if they are included. Ill almost certainly buy this to support AA and Taito though, Rainbow Islands is probably a top 10 game of all time for me.  Red Kong XIX Member Oct 11, 2020 12,927 Got mail from DekuDeals that some of my wishlisted games are on sale, finally bought Mario Tennis and Bowsers Fury.   Kadzork Has got mad skills!! Member Oct 27, 2017 23,635 Well, I just lost 3 hours to Pikmin 4 like it was nothing. I have been missing out.  BentMyWookiee Member Oct 27, 2017 298 Looking forward to a new year of games! Right now I'm most looking forward to Unicorn Overlord for 2024. However, I'm hoping that we get surprised by release dates for some games that have been lacking in new info: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Metroid Prime 4 Hollow Knight Silksong One of my favorite things every year is the games that are on nobody's radar and just release out of nowhere and take the world by storm. I'm excited to see what 2024 brings.  Rhaknar Member Oct 26, 2017 51,113 another huge sale in EU right after the xmas one lol seems to be the same usual discounts at least so if like me you've been waiting for lower deals on these games you're probably "safe"  OP OP Jonnykong Member Oct 27, 2017 8,859 Gwynn said: what is that title lol sounds like something a 8 year old would say (。_。) Click to expand...

It lacks the free DLC with more cards the Japanese version got but its a pretty solid game in the vein of the older adventure Yu-Gi-Oh titles from the handheld era with a map to explore and plot. Please buy it for me so Konami will localize the sequel!  Dash Kappei Member Nov 1, 2017 5,508 Genesius said: Does Smash/DLC ever go on sale?

It is a boss rush style game kinda like Titan Souls and the art style reminds me a little bit of Hyper Light Drifter.   shadowman16 Member Oct 25, 2017 40,802 Bananastand said: I don't even remember buying it but I finally booted up Itta and it seems really cool and unique.

It's a buck or two depending on your region until Jan 10. Gear.Club Unlimited | Deku Deals Gear.Club Unlimited - on sale now for 87% off. Compare all the current prices, see histories, and get deal alerts for the next sale at Deku Deals www.dekudeals.com But what my kids really would love is some sort of open world game with driving in it. They love Lego City Undercover, Go Vacation, Lego World's, and have started Lego 2K Drive... But are there any cool open city games with lots of driving anyone can recommend? An open world or relatively free roaming in the early part of the game they might like? A big city, maybe driving. That sorta thing?  Watershed Member Oct 26, 2017 10,409 I recently bought Alba: A Wildlife Adventure on sale and am already loving this game. So far, I put it right up there with A Short Hike, Toem, and Spirit Farer as the besr cozy indie games available on the Switch. The only negative I've encountered so far is the lack of a jump button. It's not mechanically necessary for the game at all, but given it's a 3d, 3rd person game where you do A LOT of running around, I want to be jumping and hopping around so bad... Otherwise, fantastic game so far.   Caeda Member Oct 25, 2017 2,100 Danbury, CT What are y'all's recommendations for games under $20 USD?
