A fair few things have been discounted on the Switch Eshop as part of what I'm assuming is the Christmas sale.

These are two of the standouts. Still going through the list myself

Also Furi - $14.99 (was $29.99) seems decent from what I've heard

Think Of The Children - $9.75 (was $19.50, 50% off) (the Devs brother is an Ozbargainer and originally posted this game on release)

Cat Quest - $6.97 (was $15.50, 55% off)

Octodad: Dadliest Catch - $10.50 (was $21.00, 50% off)

Lost in Harmony - $1.99 (was $10.50, 81% off) (I know nothing of this game. May just be following the trends of average games being heavily reduced)

Hollow - $2.90 (was $29.00, 90% off) (same deal as above, but I know this game got average reviews at best)

Zen Bound 2 - $5.99 (was $19.99, 70% off)

Kona - $12.00 (was $30, 60% off)

The Count Lucanor - $4.49 (was $22.49, 80% off) (Don't know much about this game, but it even has a physical version. Could be a steal at this price)

Party Golf - $7.50 (was $22.50, 66% off) (another Aussie developed game I believe)

Unbox: Newbies Adventure - $8.99 (Was $44.95, 80% off) (I own this on PS4 where, unlatched, it ran quite poorly. Had the potential to be a very fun game though and could be worth checking out at this price)

Violett - $1.65 (was $15.00, 89% off)

Star Story: The Horizon Escape - $3.75 (was $15.00, 75% off)

NoReload Heroes- $3.75 (was $15.00, 75% off)

Squids Odyssey - $6.75 (was $22.50, 70% off)

Caveman Warriors - $4.87 (was $19.50, 75% off)

Membrane - $1.44 (was $12.00, 88% off) (I was personally considering buying this game at around $5.00 last time it went on sale. Will probably bite at this price)

Cast of the Seven Godsends - $3.89 (was $19.49, 80% off)

That seems to be it for the heavily discounted
Enjoy!

    Ninty Pricer is a great way to look through the eshop sales:

    Now if only I had a Switch…

    • seanfoite on 14/12/2018 - 09:24

      I've heard great things about The Mummy. Might pick it up.

  • Elijha on 14/12/2018 - 08:51

    It seems to me (and this is just my observation) that every Friday (midnight EST or for me late Thursday evening) new sale items are added. These can be just set by the Devs and yep more are discounting close to Christmas. But to my mind it's not a Nintendo event sale unless first party titles are added ie the one year anniversary, black friday etc had Zelda BOTW, and even Splatoon 2,Mario Odessy came up at some of these. So I'm expecting a bigger sale list a bit closer to the 25th.

    • Steven Reece Lewis on 21/12/2018 - 19:27

      That bigger sale you mention, I am with you. Too much shovel wear for my tastes. I am also praying that JB hi-fi or some retailer does the 15 percent off eshop credit top-up cards.

  • Jjason on 14/12/2018 - 08:55

    Some good games! Picked up Pocket Rumble, Crypt of the Decrodancer and No Reload Heros for a few dollars each. Noice!

  • reslo on 14/12/2018 - 08:59

    I've got a switch under the christens tree for the kids to open. Is there any way I can buy these games without having to go through the store on the console itself?

    • sss333 on 14/12/2018 - 09:02

      If you have a Nintendo account that is currently attached to a Switch console you can buy from the website, otherwise nope.

      • grayadamson on 14/12/2018 - 10:07

        Wait, this is possible? Do you have a link to the Aus version of the eShop?

        • 3 on 14/12/2018 - 10:53
          +1

          If it's already set up, you can buy from the links in the comments above. Eg

          https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/titles/70010000002702

          Shows a "Proceed to Purchase" button for me.

          • grayadamson on 14/12/2018 - 10:59

            @3: Legend. :-)

          • sniper on 15/12/2018 - 10:53

            @3: How do you even get that link? When I click the link I see the page but can't navigate to any other pages to buy other games.

            • 3 on 15/12/2018 - 16:51

              @sniper: Not sure, try the nifty pricer link

    • Faro on 14/12/2018 - 09:02
      +1

      Technically yes, but it's quite difficult and you will need a linked NNID. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to lend a hand, but a good start would be checking out the links left by @sss333

      • SirFlibbled on 14/12/2018 - 11:04

        I don't get why they make it so bloody hard to buy via a website. It makes no sense.

        • Faro on 14/12/2018 - 11:08
          +1

          I agree. It makes no sense. The fact there is a website that you can access as long as you have the correct game codes makes it more confusing that they don't have an official one

    • seanfoite on 14/12/2018 - 09:25
      +4

      Is it already wrapped? Might be worth opening it up before Christmas anyway to set up accounts, charge everything and update the OS.

      • sss333 on 14/12/2018 - 09:30
        +1

        Or if you got a game like Starlink, download the 6gb day 1 update

    • grayadamson on 14/12/2018 - 10:19

      Just looking through this on the eShop, it seems most of the sales end after Christmas.
      Hopefully you have a MicroSD card, cos the storage on the console will fill up real quick.

  • OfTheOverflow on 14/12/2018 - 09:59

    Party Golf is a must-have, trust me. It's so much damn fun, at least on PS4, with large groups of friends!

  • diamondd on 14/12/2018 - 10:36

    I'm hopingg for these sort of discounts on Hollow Knight, Celeste and Overcooked 2… fingers crossed.

    • Faro on 14/12/2018 - 10:57
      +2

      What I've noticed is developers reduce their games if they're struggling or getting lost in the crowd of Indies.

      Those titles are far too popular for deep discounts at this stage. Plus Hollow Knight is already very fairly priced imo.

      Overcooked 2 is also limited by its physical version in terms of price drops. Eshop games that have physical versions that are released at the same time rarely go on sale for more than 30% off.

      Celeste is great, but I agree its price is slightly off putting at $30

      • aragornelessar on 14/12/2018 - 12:32

        Celeste is getting a LRG physical copy coming soon. Might be worth a look if you want a physical version to store/trade later.

        • diamondd on 14/12/2018 - 12:39

          Ooo, nice. Deeply disappointed the physical release for Hollow Knight didn't come to fruition.

      • diamondd on 14/12/2018 - 12:40

        Thanks, I do kind of realise all of this, but I can still hope lol.

    • codinghelloworld on 20/12/2018 - 16:00

      Like your request, Overcooked 2 is on sale now. From $37 to $28.

  • justtoreply on 14/12/2018 - 10:39

    Crypt of the necrodancer is a great price for Nintendo. Almost comparable to other platforms. And much cheaper than last time.

    Great game. Even though I suck at it and can't get far I don't regret my purchase because some of the music is so catchy

  • Faro on 14/12/2018 - 11:17

    So just downloaded Membrane from this sale for $1.44 and I must recommend it to everyone at that price. Just finished the first world and the game is quite clever and fun. Pretty chill puzzle platformer where you shoot to create your own platforms to reach collectibles. A little bit trippy, but well worth the sale price.

  • kojihama on 14/12/2018 - 13:38

    Thanks; giving Crypt of the Necrodancer a go. Tempted to buy Nine Parchments too.

  • mrend55 on 14/12/2018 - 15:50

    Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is good if you like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or the Gameboy Zelda games. I might pick up DEEMO, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 and Oceanhorn from this sale.

  • ClawShrimp on 15/12/2018 - 10:52

    My kids love Nine Parchments. Great 4 player co-op.

  • lohpp on 15/12/2018 - 11:38

    Woke up to this today and did a little shopping. Ended up with Nine Parchments, Inversus and Crypt of Necromancer. Going to take another look at Membrane based on suggestions here.

  • RocketSwitch on 15/12/2018 - 13:43

    My list is:
    Super Cariot $18 (40% off)

  • YellowKnight on 19/12/2018 - 20:48

    Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes as well as Baseball is on sale too

    • Faro on 19/12/2018 - 21:17

      Yeah they've added quite a few things since I posted.

      Brawl is $1.50 (was $15.00 for a 90% discount)
      Passpartout is an interesting little indie game for $7.50 down from $15.00.
      Fear Effect Sedna has a 75% discount
      RBI Baseball 18 is down 70% like you mentioned.

      There's a couple other mobile quality games down below $2 too.

      Honestly can't recommend Membrane enough though. Currently the cheapest game on the eshop and quite a fun little trippy indie title

  • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2018 - 10:34

    20xx is on sale if any of you like the idea of Megaman with rogue like elements.

    Thanks for linking to Think of the Children, OP! If anyone picks it up I'm always keen to hear your thoughts and feedback.

  • catbarf on 21/12/2018 - 14:09

    Someone posted on the other thread 5 steps to purchase games from the eshop online. But now I cannot find it! Does anyone know what they were?

    • rjblakel on 22/12/2018 - 12:17

      Yes please!

  • rjblakel on 22/12/2018 - 12:19

    I very much want to purchase the discounted RBI Baseball, but no idea how to find this in the AU store :(

    https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-so…

    Any tips on finding the NSUID from my phone?

  • Faro on 24/12/2018 - 11:30
