Nintendo eShop

Description

When I want to check the price of a game on the Nintendo eShop I want to search Nintendo's API by external key so that I am confident I am getting the correct price.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nintendo_eshop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nintendo_eshop
