Added Cat Quest today via the UK eshop sale.

Not being sarcastic when I ask - I'm just curious if there was a reason and/or whether I missed something: Any reason why you made special mention of 'UK' eShop?

Serious question - not looking to be a smart ass...   ;)

 

Edit: Just noticed the second keyword: "sale"! If so (and this is why you chose UK), are you tracking those sale prices somewhere so you know in which region, a given game is on sale??

I created an account for each eShop (NA, UK/EUR, and Japan), since some games release in one region earlier than another, and each region tends to have different sales (although some do overlap).  So, I check the eShop of each of those regions each week to see what's new and what's on sale.  If a game releases on the Japan eShop first, and it is in English, I might buy it from there rather than wait for its release in NA.  Cat Quest happened to be on sale on the UK/EUR eShop this week, so that's where I purchased it from.  Even with the dollars to pounds conversion, it was cheaper for me to buy it there.
