8 Years ago, I was living in Brazil, and was shocked by the price of the very few games I could find there. So I built this comparison tool to help me get these games at what I thought was a fair price. At that time I shared it on Reddit.

Today, I updated it with Switch 2 games, and it feels natural to me to share it here now instead!

Let me know what you think 👍

Great tool, thanks for sharing! Though if it got popular Nintendo is going to punish someone for this 😀

There are similar things in PS, and lots of people created accounts in cheaper region for PS+ subscription and generally buying games. Sony (and other publishers) slowly started raising those prices, until they started to almost match the US one.

Saw it happening for Turkiye, and have seen people switching to Ukrainian region now, so that maybe the next one.

I don’t know how popular this is, but it has been working for the last 8 years 😅

Oh, by punishing someone, I meant the regions, not you 😀

I hope nothing happens though, but it was sad to see it happening for PS. Though it is possible the price increase was for entirely different reasons, who knows.
