Mexico's eshop does not have a website, but I found it on the system

Everything else seems to be the same.

Are eshop credits usable across regions? how would one be able to buy it at that price without a credit card?

watershed · Mar 4, 2017

But not in English right?

On the eshop description it says it supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian

I just spent $25 US on this last night.

Do I need to create a separate account or user to get this? Would it show up alongside my NA games?

ryushe · Mar 4, 2017

Guess I'm creating a Mexican account, too.

Doctre81 · Mar 4, 2017

Don't tell Trump lol

billmcdougal · Mar 4, 2017

I own the 3ds version which will upgrade to this.

But doesn't the switch version have local co-op? Hrmm

1. Yes, one Mexican user
2. Yes, any account can use the basic game, but not the DLC

If you can't pay by credit card.
You'd have to find someplace that sells prepaid Mexican eshop cards.

You can't use USD cards, or any other currency, on the Mexican eshop.

Best $25 you'll ever spend.

It works with a US credit card. My Visa that kept getting declined on the Japanese store just went through.

broketv · Mar 4, 2017

Score! Bought and downloaded.. 11.59

BTW it's in English.

Yes.

It's just that some people have eshop credits, or don't own a visa/mastercard.

Jupiter_Shrooms · Mar 4, 2017

On a related note, I bought a digital prepaid eShop card from playasia, since I wanted to buy Blaster Master from the Japanese eshop. After purchase, they now say they're low on stock and it's stuck on "preparing order". Has anyone had this experience?

good news then.

I bought it yesterday for $25 USD. And I really don't mind, I like the game that much.

Just curious. Why couldn't you wait till March 9th?

PhazonBlazer · Mar 4, 2017

Please still be there when I get home

firehawk12 · Mar 4, 2017

How does creating an out of region account work? Do you need an address?

Camjo-Z · Mar 4, 2017

Anyone know if the other campaigns count as DLC, or if they're considered part of the base game? Might do this but I want to play everything on my own account.

All you do is choose your account when you boot up the game. This has the base game plus all the DLC.

SkyTurnsRed · Mar 4, 2017

Hmm. I own this on PC already. Do I want to double dip for the Switch?

PhazonBlazer · Mar 5, 2017

So does this still work? Do I have to use an eshop card?

Kappa · Mar 5, 2017

Yes it works I just bought and played it.
Make sure to use a cc with no foreign transaction fees. conviently the amazon visa card just got rid of foreign fees

Jupiter_Shrooms · Mar 5, 2017

I wanted to get familiar with the process of purchasing Japanese games from the Eshop

Bog · Mar 5, 2017

Did this just now and it couldn't be simpler. You can also start it from any user account.

nope, even to change region on same account have to drop currency stored in said account

is nice that eShop prices are still good here just hope to see neo geo arc games soon here when my Switch arrives

Stupid Sexy Flanders · Mar 5, 2017

How would I be able to get this in the UK?
I made a Mexican account but my card isn't working :/

Booker.DeWitt · Mar 5, 2017

Do I need to keep the Mexican account on my switch to access the game , or can I delete ?

Ryhian · Mar 5, 2017

Thanks for that heads up! Was planning on getting this and am always down to save money. Was a quick and easy process!

BronzeWolf · Mar 5, 2017

You could try buying mexican eshop cards. I don't know how you would do that though

Booker.DeWitt · Mar 5, 2017

Just bought for 11.59, thanks op

BronzeWolf · Mar 5, 2017

I should have placed a tip jar

You looked into Revolut? It's commonly used for purchases across all consoles / regions. It's essentially a virtual bank / master card you set up. With no international fees.

Same question here, anyone?

Soi-Fong · Mar 5, 2017

I have a Citi Diamond Preferred CC that I used on my main account that I just switched regions to Mexico with. Order went through and I'm switching it back to US now.

Think I'd rather do it this way. Glad it worked.

jmizzal · Mar 5, 2017

Nice I hope these cheaper region prices pop up a lot during the switch life cycle, this happens on PC and xbox some times too

dacalo · Mar 5, 2017

I have a feeling Nintendo is going to disallow this somehow going forward. They are not going to be happy about losing profit.

This is how capitalism works. They'd have to renege on their very public proclamation that the system is region free and they're not going to do that.

When the Russian store had very cheap Wii U games due to plummeting currency and you could switch regions on PAL consoles to take advantage of it, they responded by jacking up the Russian prices.

That said this seems more like a one off mistake.

Kyou · Mar 5, 2017

seems like a price mistake based on the spectre knight campaign price

edit: whoops read it wrong, thought the price was over the games,

guess they're still a bit too close

That is what I think as well

Haines · Mar 5, 2017

Do i have to make an entire new account for this?

So i meed a new email right?

I think you can change your region of the main account online then access the store.

I made a new account that was US then made it Japan and was able to get Japanese demos.

Corginand · Mar 5, 2017

Can't see the image for some reason but does it show the same price as in Steam ($225.99)?

Supposing this isn't a mistake it'd be nice if more indies did the same. I wouldn't have to decide between the portable version of a game and the significantly cheaper Steam version.

Huh? 3DS version doesn't upgrade to anything.
