Nintendo Switch eShop and physical games/DLC deals

[jimidini]

This thread is dedicated to posting eShop games/DLC deals.
Deals for physical games are also welcome (all regions).

For deals English support is assumed.
If there is no English support for the specific region, please state so accordingly.

Please keep in mind that not all games on the Japanese eShop have English support.
Always check description. If it includes "英語", that means that English support is included.

You can get Japanese credit for the eShop via play-asia or Amazon Japan.
Amazon Japan is preferred, because play-asia adds quite a little to the price of the cards, while Amazon Japan charges you 3000 Yen for a 3000 Yen card. For Amazon Japan you may have to add a fictional Japanese address, so that your order goes through. The term to search for is "ニンテンドープリペイド番号 3000円|オンラインコード版" for a 3000 Yen card code. Or jump here: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B09996CH6H

For other eShop regions, one can use the service of the youtube channel SwitchUp, which not only sells you the cards/codes for the same price, but even give you 5%/10% off on top of that.

Let's start with this.

I just grabbed "Ittle Dew" from the Japanese eShop.
For only 150 Yen.
Sale is up until end of August.

It seems this game has only been on sale in US once, and it went from 10 USD to 7 USD in 2020.
In Europe it seems it was never on sale.

I already own it physically, but at this price point, I couldn't resist.

Micetopia - available on the Japanese eShop for 100 yen only, which is only around 60 or 70 cent.

Elsewhere the game is only dropped to 60% off atm, which is around 2 quid.

Children of Zodiarcs

100 Yen - Attention: the eshop says this is Japanese only, but on western eShops it's listed as English, etc. including Japanese, so this information may be incorrect.


Metal Dogs
This just recently got a patch, which makes it support English.
it's available on cart in Japan, there is also a Collector's Edition in Japan w/ soundtrack CDs and more and there is even an Amazon Japan exclusive edition with a stainless steel water bottle included of that Collector's Edition, which is dirt cheap atm

3700 Yen:

The regular CE is even more expensive than this, currently at 4200 Yen, which is very weird.

Arietta of Spirits - Launch Trailer - Nintendo Switch - YouTube

Attention: this release is way smaller (258 MB vs 444 MB), and it seems it does only support Japanese + English, the western release supports EFIGS languages including Japanese. I have bought it myself (I already own it physically too), I can confirm it has full English text.
The only bit of Japanese you get is a Japanese subtitle to the English title.
This also means that the saved games are probably not compatible.
This release was published by Rainy Frog

There is also the Sinking City for just 500 Yen only.
I have to look out for sales of the Deluxe edition in Japan. The standard release only goes down to around 7.50 bucks in the west.
500 Yen is a steal, but is missing DLC.
