Nintendo eShop sale: Celeste at ₩5,380, Monster Hunter Rise at ₩8,960
The picks worth your money from the second week of Nintendo eShop deals.

An unusually name-heavy episode
This is an archive of the Nintendo eShop sale from the second week of August 2026. The discounts have ended and the prices above are from that time.
Celeste, Monster Hunter Rise, Dave the Diver and PowerWash Simulator all landed in one list. That combination doesn’t come along often on the eShop.
Lined up by how much your hands have to do
Similar prices, very different demands.
Hardest on the hands: Celeste and Tails of Iron. They differ in kind, though — Celeste restarts you instantly on the same screen, so it reads as retrying rather than punishment, while Tails of Iron is a souls-like where a single mistake costs a lot.
In the middle: Monster Hunter Rise. It’s the fastest-paced entry in the series, which makes it the right way in if you bounced off Monster Hunter for feeling slow.
Easiest: PowerWash Simulator and Dave the Diver. Failure costs almost nothing, so long sessions don’t wear you down.
Better with someone else
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is designed around two players splitting the world, so it’s really a co-op game, and PowerWash Simulator lets up to six share one house. Monster Hunter Rise also changes substantially with a party.
Celeste, Superliminal and Dave the Diver, by contrast, are wholly solo.
The pricing trap in this episode
The price records on this site’s game pages are Steam-based, and the gap is especially wide here. Monster Hunter Rise is the clearest case — the eShop and Steam figures can diverge sharply.
Buying on Switch? Use the eShop prices on the cards. Buying on PC? Use the Steam record on the game page. Don’t put the two numbers side by side.
If you’re looking at this now
eShop sales run long, but the gap before a title returns is longer than on Steam. The 80–91% band here wasn’t a regular occurrence.
Oblivion Remastered and Cloverpit at the bottom were unreleased then and weren’t discounts. They have reviews now — check the store.
