I have some eShop money to spend. I'm looking for good Nintendo switch games you can only get digitally on the eShop. If they have a physical version, I'm not interested. Let me hear what your favorite switch eShop digital only games are. I am also interested in hearing what your favorite eShop digital only games that you can only get on switch and not pc, 3ds, NES, etc are. Thanks!

Lol does link to the past count? There's a picture of Mario in one of the houses in that game.

Uh yea you do lol. It's an incredible game.

Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. It's one of the few perfect games imo.

This is gamestop's last hurrah. Once the PS5 and new Xbox craze dies down, they're toast. They're hanging on by a thread as it is.

Oh no don't worry you're not being negative and I kinda figured as much. I don't have as much free time right now as I did even a week ago, so that's why I emailed them. But I'll call tomorrow if I have some free time.

Thought I'd update you guys. Mission success. I went in store. They did not have any $5 eShop cards on the wall. But the lady was able to use my $5 coupon for one of the digital $5 eShop giftcards. Why I can't do the same thing from the comfort of my home is beyond me but it worked. She said I'd have to talk to corporate to get the other coupons back though so we'll see what happens. I already emailed support but no response yet. I'll keep you guys posted if I hear anything.

It's been a while since I've played but I'm up for a game every now and then. Last time I played was on chess.com like 5 years ago

It was super convenient to take them online. It was just a very different experience, and there's a lot that can be improved upon with online classes.

Yet the cost is the same as going to a physical college (minus room and board of course), which is ridiculous. People should be rioting in the streets that online class prices are still the same as in person. My undergrad in person vs grad school online experiences were polar opposites. Undergrad the professors actually cared for the most part, engaged the class with discussions, and answered questions. Grad school online was, here's an assignment, do it, then I'll grade it and sometimes give feedback. I'll never forget the time I asked a question to my professor online and they said "ask your classmates".

Interesting that you and Tulpa had this option. None of our textbooks were in our school library. Iirc there was only 1 time where it was worth it to rent it. Most times the rent was like 10% less than buying the book, so it was worth it to actually buy it, sell it back and get like 75% back. My online master's program had all open resource stuff and no textbooks. I hope that's the way of the future. The textbook scam seems to mainly be an issue at physical colleges.

Just called my local GameStop. Looks like they're letting 5 customers in at a time so I'll have to try tomorrow to get my $5 eShop credit at the store. So dumb that you can't just buy it online. Next step is seeing if they'll honor the past 4 months of missed coupons for not being able to go to the store and their help desk not helping fix my password online.

So how can I do that now if I can't go into the store...

Here's my college advice/rant lol First off, college is a scam. That's a whole different animal to cover another day. And I have a master's degree. Unfortunately a college degree is largely needed to get lots of higher paying jobs. Anywho, now to the serious stuff. Choose wisely!! Not just where you go, but how much it costs. Name brand is very important but cost is too. Why put yourself in 200k in debt? You'll be royally screwed drowning in massive debt for the rest of your life. Seriously consider going to a $10-20k school instead of a $30-60k school. Especially for undergrad. They don't tell you in high school that your debt rapidly accrues with interest. So your 200k over 4 years actually turns into $400k+ by the time you've finally managed to pay it off. You may never get out of this massive debt. Not trying to scare you, just being realistic. $40k is a lot more manageable than $400k. Don't listen to your high school guidance counselor when they say you can go wherever you want and take out student loans to cover it. This is a trap. You DO NOT want to start your adult life in massive debt. Look into community college. Even if it's just for a semester or two or 4, it can save you tons of money. Make sure the classes you take in community college will transfer over to your regular college. Nothing is worse than spending money on a community college course only to find you don't get any credit at a regular college. Look into joining the military. I know it's not for everyone but you do get a GI bill which will cover your education costs for free. Look into scholarships (yes I know they're incredibly hard to get, but try). Even a $500 or $1k scholarship is helpful. Also look into financial aid. Take as many AP classes or whatever can give you college credit while you're in highschool. AP tests cost around $100 to take but you can get 3 college credits if you score well enough. 5 AP classes you score well in equals 15 college credits, which is one semester for $500. Super cheap way to get a ton of college credit. Worst case scenario, you just put these 15 credits towards your general classes. Don't fall for the textbook scam. Buy all your books online, never at your school's book store. The cheaper deals are always online. Buy, don't rent. You can sell your book back at the end of the semester. You can't sell back a book you rent. Study habits - I found the best way to learn was to go to class every day, take notes on your laptop, then before a test, handwrite every single note you typed onto computer paper. This helps you remember it in 3 ways, seeing it, physically moving your hand, and reading it. I never got below a B on any test with this method. I got several C, D, and E's in highschool because I never studied this way. Balance school and fun. Enjoy college. Live. Have fun. But also focus on school. Your grades do matter. They can help you get a good internship which in turn can help you get a good job. Look for ways to get college credit in other ways such as by being a teacher's assistant or through your internship. Professors will help you. They're not evil high and mighty douchebags. They will help you if you ask whether it's in person or email. Plan your college path by the end of freshman year. Figure out your major, what prerequisites you need, when you have to take classes, which classes conflict with your schedule, etc. If you double major or have a minor, see what classes can overlap for both. This will help you not have to take extra classes and go over the 120 credits you need to graduate. Hopefully that helps. I have more stuff about saving money if you live on campus, but I think that's a bit different from the actual college component itself.

Trying to be good right now and not buy more games. Every DS, GameCube, Wii, PSP, or GBA game I'd want to buy pre-owned is apparently sold out anyways. I was just trying to get some free $5 eShop credit since a GameStop employee told me back in February you could do that.

Well that's really dumb. Can't even go inside the store right now. And it's $5 off new stuff right? I buy all my games from GameStop pre-owned

Well that sucks. I wonder if you could buy a physical one and pick it up?

I've done that but when I go to check out it asks for my credit card and still says it's $5. Where do I apply this code? When I try to enter it as a promo code is says code not applied

Edit: I have solved the question of how do you get a $5 eShop gift card from GameStop with your $5 coupon pro rewards coupon each month. The answer: you have to go in person and order a digital $5 eShop gift card in person. Super backwards I know. You cannot apply your coupon on their website for a digital $5 eShop gift card. My GameStop also didn't have a physical $5 eShop gift card in person. The cheapest they had was a $10 one. But they were able to use my coupon in store to get me a digital $5 eShop gift card. Below was my original thread: Finally remembered my email and password to my GameStop account. I want to buy a $5 eShop gift card with the free $5 coupon you get each month for being a pro member. I've found it under active offers, but I can't figure out how to apply it to the $5 eShop digital gift card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

True. I wonder what they'd say if they saw you starting to set up a tv. You know that is an interesting question. What's the oldest console the current youngest gen knows about?

That's cheating. Old school. It'd be pretty funny if you showed up to a fast food place with a tv and NES and set that up at a table inside.

You won't play your NES on a TV outside somewhere this summer, NO BALLS!

Looks like Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is in development now for the Switch. I really enjoyed the first one. Similar to mega man if you've never played it. Still need to play the 2nd one. 3rd one looks good too. No release date yet. Any other azure striker Gunvolt fans out there? Edit: mods please move this to the new releases section when you get a chance. Just saw that section whoops

Lol, I've seen those pics of people bringing projectors outside and playing Mario kart 64 on the side of their house. I imagine something similar has been done with an NES and tv

Lol, bringing a tv, NES, games and controllers outside by the pool. Now THAT would be a sight to see.
