Whizzing, whiring, whining, the micro-sized machines race around larger-than-life tabletop tracks — avoiding things such as: towering Eclipse Games soda cans, flying nuts and bolts, scattered colorful LEGO pieces, mouthwatering cheeseburgers, road blocks, road hazards, and, of course, road-raging racers who vie to gain the winning position on the track. And the Nintendo Wii U eShop is getting this chaotic and competitive racer in the near future. This. Is. Super Toy Cars.
It's for the better, though.
Players will have to find new ways to buy from the Japanese eShop after Nintendo announcement.
Not something I got into, but if say you're in the UK and you're using a US game, you'll need a US eShop account. Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo is trying to stop people using games from other regions, more so people who buy Japanese and US games on card because they're download/code in a box only in the UK as an example. Not sure if the Switch 2 will be multi-region, but this sounds like a stepping stone to cut back on people playing import games and maybe even making the Switch 2 region locked.
Thank God for PlayAsia and eBay. Nearly everything I want has a physical version with English subtitles. Just can't find most of them in retail stores, lol
Supposedly this comes with the fact NSO will be receiving an 11 to 25% price increase in "some" countries
There are emails being sent out over it
I have yet to see an email though (UK resident)
Nintendo has announced that it will close the Nintendo Switch eShop in China and other related online services in 2026.
"Starting on March 31, 2026, the Chinese eShop will no longer offer games or apps for sale, meaning new purchases will not be possible after that date. Then, on May 15, 2026, users will no longer be able to download previously purchased games, DLC, or redeem codes."
I don't understand why a console eshop needs to close. Can't they make them backward and forward compatible?
I honestly thought this was the point of the Switch Eshop, it looked like they were moving towards a unified Eshop, which I also thought was going to carry over to the Switch successor.
Apparently in China majority of their consoles are Imported so they can play more games and use that countries eshop. Apparently China is very restrictive of what content goes on the Nintendo eshop
If there is one platform you should never build a digital library on, it's on a Nintendo system.
