Switch eShop games can no longer be sold for less than $1.99
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Over the years, there have been some pretty insane discounts on the Switch eShop. We’ve even seen sales in which titles were brought down to just a single penny. Now, however, it appears that Nintendo has put a price barrier in place.
According to a developer that has released multiple Switch games, a new rule has been set up. The lowest you’ll see a game is now $1.99 – excluding free-to-play titles, of course.
Last month, GameDiscoverCo founder Simon Carless spoke about Nintendo’s efforts to clamp down on those looking to exploit the Switch eShop charts with heavy discounts. In the past, publishers and developers could easily claim the top spots with a high percentage sale. Nintendo first excluded games that were discounted to a penny. The decision to set the minimum price of Switch eShop titles at $1.99 followed more recently.

Innersloth reveals how Among Us changed during development and more
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Among Us wasn’t always the breakout game fans know of today. In an interview shared by Nintendo, Innersloth co-founder Forest Willard discussed the title’s origins.
Among Us went through quite a few changes during development. Willard said that players “would draw a role card and roam around a house aimlessly while ‘the mafia’ person secretly ‘killed’ players by drawing a finger across someone’s neck. The tasks also “changed several times” and the ship was initially “always in crisis while the crewmates attempted to hold it together and Impostors could do tasks wrong to hinder players.”
The same interview also touched on how long it took to create Among Us. Since the game was “originally so much smaller,” the team wrapped up development in about seven months.
Here’s the full interview from Nintendo:
