Humble Nintendo Indie Bundle for the Americas

In for the $10 because why the fuck not and I love the fact that some of the games include both versions. Can't wait to see what gets added.

Let's get real here.

Digital stores are region-locked on other platforms too. Different codes for different regions. That's just how it works. Now you say "just offer either/or" and then I remind you that not all of the games included in this bundle are available in both regions and then this whole thing makes way more sense. Plus we've always known that NOA and NOE are separate entities doing their own stuff.

Cut down the hyperbole please. Of course it sucks that not everyone can take part in this but applying some common sense and reason surely isn't too much too ask?
Rhetorical question since it apparently is.

Ah, you're one of those people. Your viewpoint is the only common sense and reason. You could cut down on the insulting tone. You can't see how region-locking is a disturbing first for Humble Bundles? This is never how it has worked for HB.
 
Was looking forward to try out Guacamelee and see what the fuss is about, until I read the "for the Americas" part. Ah well.


edit: But I suppose this is good news, I don't think there has been a Nintendo Humble Bundle yet, right? Hope they continue doing this in the future.

Yes, it works like this, but it shouldn't. And unlike you, I don't accept that. Sony does the same thing with completely different sales on their respective stores and it baffles me. And now this: a commercialized indie/charity fund-raiser, if the latter even still applies, which is region-locked. If anything this shows how disconnected Nintendo is with their consumers. The last gaming-related thing I'd do right now is run to the store to get a Wii U. And that's a sad thing.
 
im a newb to HIB. i paid 12 bucks and it mentions more games unlock later. do i get those too? thats what it seems, but that also seems too good to be true
 
fuck it, bought for $10 even tho I dont own a WiiU and already have Steamworld Dig on 2 platforms

feel like supporting this
 
This is amazing. In for $10, redeemed all my codes through the website. I hope we see more of these on Nintendo platforms.

Huh that's not common sense. I own and play digital games from 4 regions on my vita ps3 and ps4. So if by common sense and reason you mean lies and misinformation...

Edit: i read your post wrong. Assume I'm responding to the guy you responded to. Sorry.

Yeah common sense, because how is Nintendo of America going to contribute Codes from Europe?

Trust me, i'm annoyed about this too, but this isn't Steam, this is on Console. And as long no console offers world-wide digital purchases without the need for seperate Accounts, we should not pin this on Nintendo alone.

In Fact, it's kinda cool of them to be the first to do stuff like that

Because region locking was never necessary for PC games. Oh and fun fact: some PC Humble Bundles actually gave you codes you could not redeem in certain countries do to geolocking (of course you could go and trick steam by using a VPN to redeem a code).

What on earth does that have to do with anything now?
 
This is a really neat bundle and hope this is a sign of things to come. I wish Moon Chronicles was in the first tier as it's the only game I don't already own.

53k sold and counting. Average purchase is $9.28 now. That's not little when you consider this:

$53k in revenue. It's at about 6k bundles sold. I'd be shocked if they sold over 250k bundles.

Defending region-locking? Really?

But Sony let's me play digital games from other regions on my domestic account. So please no false equivalency. It is Nintendo's fault.

It will eventually show up for Europe too and all this outrage will be for nothing.

And lmao at calling Nintendo "disconected" from their consumers when they do this kind of forward-thinking selling strategy (that none of the console makers have done). Nintendo can never win with some of you.
 
Sendou said:
Seems like I added an extra zero there lol. Well it's still a good amount considering the platforms.

Is there a link to a complete report of that talk?

Right but their stores are set up to be region locked. They can't just flip a switch to make it not region locked just for this humble bundle and the branches operate somewhat independently it's not NOA's choice on whether they can include NOE or NOJ codes in the bundle. Not to mention some of these games are not even available in all regions on Nintendo hardware.

So you are saying i can buy Japanese Games digitally on my European Account?
Please show me how this works, since i've been looking into how to do this for a while.

If you can do this i will happily retreat from this Thread and take everything back i said.

69.99 + 5% tax = 60 USD. Not that bad compared to the games being sold locally in South America.
Click to expand...
Yeah I know xD But I secretly miss the time when thigs were just 60 CAD and nothing more :P
Not complaining tho, I paid 220 Reais for a physical copy of SM3DW...

Can someone explain me for a sec, if you pay $10 you get all those games?

He's not defending region locking, he's explaining why the bundle is region locked.

I mean it's not exactly defending it, but I don't see how telling us to just accept it is that far separated.

FYI, I live in Canada, so it doesn't really affect me, but I still feel sorry for Europeans.
 
Folks: When a company distributes digital review codes they are tied to a region. A US-digital code will not work on a EU console - regardless if the console is region-locked or not. That is what is happening here.
 
Holy shit. I am thoroughly shocked Ninty got a Humble Bundle before Sony did. In for $10.

And Moon Chronicles is fucking awesome y'all. Worth the bundle price on its own.
 
Steamworld Dig, Moon Chronicles, The Fall, Mighty Switch Force and Guacamelee are more than worth the $10 min price.

You have no excuses.
 
I'm in the UK and I'm tempted to buy this, just to support a) The Wii U and b) Humble branching out to consoles (Android aside).

The region lock is garbage, but I assume it's the way Nintendo operates - NoA and NoE are separate.
