I noticed this releases on Thursday 5th October and it's £10.99 on the uk store. I had a quick look at other regions and noticed it's a cracking £6.16 via the Mexico store.
For those that don't know how to access this, you simply sign into your Nintendo account on the web and go to profile settings and change region to Mexico. You then sign into the eshop on your switch with your account and use your card to buy said game.

Had this with Shovel Knight near release, but couldn't get my card nor a Revolut one to work. Might work with Paypal now though? Will have to wait and see.

Where is the option to change profile settings? im seeing nothing under the account tab to change this?
then go to user information, then profile and then change country/region. then save.
Now turn your switch on and go to the eshop login in and it will prompt that something has changed and then log on again and then purchase the game. Once purchased go back to the link earlier and change back.
Hope that was easy to follow.

Is there an easy way to check different eshop prices? I'm looking for a better price on Golf Story.

I literally just bought golf story tonight doing this for the first time. Cheapest was ZA (south Africa) it turned out about £10.50 . Just changed region on the Nintendo website, bought it on the website using my Halifax clarity (fee free MasterCard) and looked down at my switch and it was downloading. Happy days £3 saved for 10 seconds
Thanks for the post! Just wondering can you then switch your region back? So I could switch my UK account to Mexico, Purchase the game and then switch it back to UK?

Thats great then. As a warning to anyone about to switch regions - YOU DO lose your current balance if you switch regions so make sure to spend it before switching.

I checked and as of yet it's not on the store but should be anytime now. It's up on other regions like South Africa for example. For reference it's just over £8 on the SA store.

Is there any confirmation that £6.16 is the actual price? I'm been trying to research the launch price for mexico in the eshop but cannot find any solid confirmation.
