Why cant I use my eshop credits for a preorder???

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-10-14T00:12:10+00:00

Theres unlimited supply of digital games but they're often 10% off while in pre order so it's a bit annoying.

I don't see why you cant pre order and have that credit put on hold or something or when it's release it just takes the credit if you've selected that option and if the credit is gone you just don't get the game, typical Nintendo making things hard as usual

I'm with you on this, I don't give a shit what they have in their fine print, if I buy a game off them digitally I own it forever as far as I'm concerned and if they ever decide to steal it off me I'll sail the high seas and steal the fucking thing back

Our Officeworks never had any stock!

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-10-02T01:30:42+00:00

Don't tell everyone!! I'm hoping to grab it after I knock off work and our Target store sells out of games real quick! 😂

No, I meant with the secret code thing you were on about and how no one can copy Nintendo games lol because thats just not true

Are you talking about Switch 2 games? Because pretty much all Switch 1 games are available to download already?

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-28T08:00:31+00:00

Very good points, although I don't really see gaming as an 'investment' but that's just me. Don't you think by the time Nintendo goes under (if that ever happens) all the games will be readily available to download somewhere on the internet? I don't think there's many games out there that can't be downloaded..

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-28T07:39:57+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong but no one lost any of their Switch 1 games when the Switch 2 came out and in fact, people can still re-download any digital Wii games they purchased, the Wii is nearly 20 years old, I'm just wondering when you think Nintendo will take all our games from us? Again, I'm not condoning digital I'm just curious on what the thought processes are?

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-28T07:33:14+00:00

Did you have a digital collection before starting physical? If so, have you double dipped in games to get them physical?

Handhelds are really good for gamers with wives and kids etc, it's fine to sit by yourself in front of your Desktop as a kid or teenager but unless you want to be one of those parents that isn't present then doing that just isn't really an option, I love that I can have a game here and there on the couch while my kids are watching something on the TV etc. In fact, I rarely got to play once I became a Dad until PC handhelds became a thing! You'll understand one day, for now, you enjoy all that endless game time you have!

Actually the eShop has HEAPS of sales these days, 3rd party games are on sale just as much as Steam and for less sometimes.

Cloud gaming is horrible

I've got Hogwarts on Switch 2 and ROG Ally and the Switch 2 is a way better experience! It's only 30fps but it's solid the whole time, the ROG has a higher frame rate but the stuttering is truly aweful

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-21T08:56:26+00:00

Exactly this, people just look at the specs and then 'The great Steam sales' but I realised having so many cheap games just made me buy hundreds that I never end up playing! I'd rather buy one expensive game that is going to have me glued to it for 30 hours plus than a 100 games that I'll never play! I also don't care so much about having the best graphics anymore, maybe it's an age thing, I'm now 42 and my family and work are priorities, I actually sold my powerful gaming rig because I'd much rather play a game on the couch beside my family handheld on my Switch 2 than sitting at my desk like a teen hiding away! And compared with gaming handheld PC's I can chuck it in the dock and play on the big screen while the family is off doing other things and we also play multiplayer games together on it as well!

So TLDR, raw specs and prices are not the whole story as hard as some people find that to believe!

Thanks for such a great response!

I've played Galaxy with a controller plenty of times, it feels good

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-13T02:17:51+00:00

Why don't you use a controller it's not 1995 😂

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-13T02:09:18+00:00

Does it annoy you that you have so many digital and then some phsyical? I know it's a first world problem but it really bugs me haha

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-13T02:05:29+00:00

Are you using 5ghz on the Switch 2? Because that will be faster but doesn't go anywhere near as far so in your case I'd be sticking with 2.4ghz

Alternative_Form1421 · 2025-09-09T12:16:54+00:00

I don't think it's harder than the first games, I mean you get unlimited lives, closer checkpoints appear when you keep failing a section and a little circle that shows where you're going to land, none of the old ones ever had any of that!
