Early version of the redesigned eShop component on game detail. Need to decide whether it should have the current official eShop red or use color from selected theme. I think theme makes more sense to not have too many colors 🌈😅 #gaming #nintendo

Redesigned eShop component variants showing the button with price and next to it button with image of a chart. Most of these have just "Nintendo eShop" title, for editions the edition is main title and "Nintendo eShop" is just small title above.

There is also discount variant that has additional component showing the discount amount and when the deal ends.
