"All America... Except Brazil"

Nintendo really hates Brazil, I wonder why. Microsoft thrives here, and Sony is probably doing well... Nintendo simply don't care.

 

[mclem]

Intriguing move, and given the eShop logo that suggests that Nintendo are directly involved with this, at least at some level. Disappointing that it's US only, but there's a certain inevitability to that.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

This is fantastic! I was saying to my girlfriend a few mounts ago that the console makers should do a humble bundle sale. I always thought Sony would be the first to do,but good on Nintendo and those indies.

 

[shiyrley]

> only America

whAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, WHY

 

[Sakujou]

wow, great guys.

i already own nearly every game iam interested in on steam/psn.

would have been cool, if they would have offered it world wide since i would have gifted it to my little sister.

 

[Effect]

You get both. Seperate keys.

Humble usually gives you both.

Nice!

 

[thefro]

Definitely getting this one.

Are each of the "Nintendos" so distant of each other that NoA can decide that by itself and didn't try to at least get NoE? How come?

Yep, that's why a lot of indie games release at separate times in NA and Europe

 

[fabprems]

EURO GAF :

 

[TheSeks]

Edit: Whoops, double post.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

A region-locked humble bundle is terrible. To me it seems to partially defeat the point of the bundles in the first place.

 

[Brazil]

Yes.

There have been like a dozen Humble Android Bundles before.

 

[nicoga3000]

Oh I didn't realize you got codes for Wii U AND 3DS. That's crazy! <3

 

[Platy]

Not including brazil is just LOL . One more reason to everyone have a canada region console here in brazil xD

 

[Solobbos]

Fuck you, Reggie! I want these games in Europe, too!

At least we'll get Woolly World before you, but then again, you got Kirby before us. I think we need a PAL vs. NTSC battle in Splatoon event.

 

[shiyrley]

Humble Bundle right now:

[Pikma]

I've been honestly wondering for maybe a few years now why this hadn't happened, glad to see Nintendo take the first step

 

[mclem]

Lol region lock is such a joke. There is no reason to wait for NX Nintendo! Flick of a switch. One small update. And its gone.

And then get sued to hell.

Technologically, there's very little preventing it. Legally, it's potentially quite a minefield.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Lol the BTA is going to beat the tiered price.

 

[Jotamide]

If it gets Shovel Knight I will be so fucking in.

You and me both.

 

[Dog Problems]

Woah, is it the first ever non-PC bundle across all the bundle sites?

They've been doing mobile bundles for awhile.

 

[Forensic Scene]

bravo nintendo

 

[Archaix]

A region-locked humble bundle is terrible. To me it seems to partially defeat the point of the bundles in the first place.

They long ago abandoned "the point" of the bundles when the first Windows-only bundle without DRM-free games was their most successful by far.

 

[ShadowgeistX]

Hm, lots of region lock talk lol.

I was considering the BTA until it shot up from $7 to $9. WTF. Time to play the waiting game I suppose.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

They can easily generate EU keys. You're missing the point

Nintendo of America can't. Honestly, I'm shocked they got one branch of Nintendo to play ball with them. Getting multiple branches would have been unbelievable.

 

[Nabs]

There's a stupid amount of quality in this bundle. The region lock sucks, but it's understandable.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Whoa, nice... except I'm in Europe.

 

[daxgame]

holy shit this looks gr-

oh
well
money saved

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Only America is a stupid decision :\

All of those games are available on the European eShop as well, so why they're not able to give out PAL codes I do not understand.

"All America... Except Brazil"

Nintendo really hates Brazil, I wonder why. Microsoft thrives here, and Sony is probably doing well... Nintendo simply don't care.

Isn't Brazil a PAL country basically? Or am I remembering this wrong?

 

[Formless]

All hail NoA, all hail Reggie

 

[Joqu]

Actually I don't think Moon Chronicles is yet. Is it? I've been meaning to pick that up.

Dem taxes are pretty insane. I would wager that has something to do with it. Had a friend there tell me a 3DS costs about the equivalent of $400 or something due to import taxes.

 

[Exile20]

This is fucking awesome.

Nintendo is changing internally for the better.

Bring it on. In for $10.

 

[bobawesome]

Woah Dave! is a stinker but Guacamelee! and Mighty Switch Force! are totally worth it.

I'll definitely be letting a friend know as we were talking about the latter games not too long ago.

 

[YianGaruga]

Nintendo of America can't. Honestly, I'm shocked they got one branch of Nintendo to play ball with them. Getting multiple branches would have been unbelievable.

Yeah I know. I'm just baffled that
1. They couldn't get NoA and NoE to communicate and both participate in this and
2. Still decided to go ahead despite the region locking

This isn't hwat humble should be about and I'm really disappointed

 

[GWX]

Brazilian, but canadian (eShop wise), so I just bought it! Never expected that from Nintendo, awesome.

edit: quote for YUMMY if you want to get caught red handed!

 

[Tenki]

Region Fucking Lock

 

[vinnygambini]

Woot Canada

This is great! In for 10$!

How does the Humble Bundle work like, 10$ for all of this seems cheap, do developers & Ninty get paid lol?

 

[Adam Prime]

I boughtem, thanks

"All America... Except Brazil"

it aint that. Brazil has their own eshop, thus separated región. rest of SA acts as NA

still dont know any brazilian who didnt register their 3ds as NA tho

 

[jariw]

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship, Stealth Inc. 2, OlliOlli are really great games. And the Wii U implementation of Steamworld Dig is fantastic. Great bundle, for those of you with a matching eShop...

 

[flux1]

This is the last company I expected to be involved with Humble Bundle.

Hopefully it sells well to get Microsoft and Sony to try it also.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I am beyond baffled that Cheesemeister hasn't entered this thread yet.

 

[Ganzor]

No EU (

 

[SmartWaffles]

They've been doing mobile bundles for awhile.

Yeah I should rephrase it as "first ever console bundle".

 

[-Horizon-]

Woot Canada

This is great! In for 10$!

There's a section at the bottom where you can divide up where the money goes to.

 

[Crocodile]

So how are the 3DS version of all these games? Good? No loss of quality (ala Shovel Knight) or are there versions of these I should only pick up on console? Then again I'm not even sure I have enough room on my SD card LOL

 

[Diggeh]

Awesome move except the region locking part. I feel for the poor saps that spent all that money on Moon Chronicles.

 

[Brazil]

Yeah I know. I'm just baffled that

2. Still decided to go ahead despite the region locking

Oh, boo hoo. Someone somewhere getting something nice is better than no one getting anything.

 

[MrChocolate]

I don't even know the games (except for Guacamelee) but I got them anyway.
The Fall appears to be a Metroidvania, right?

 

[Storm360]

I would hope that other companies are going to learn from this and not region lock bundles, ideally, the companies where region will be a issue (Sony and Nintendo) will communicate and make sure its worldwide

Probably not gonna buy any game in this bundle standalone either, I'll probably even stop making purchases at Humble store etc too
