Independent 3DS Bargain Alerts Thread

Motley Crue

Just found a few pretty cheap 3DS games littered around online. I'll post them below with the links, as I've no affiliation with any of the suppliers, and I know they're mostly UK links but it would still work out a lot cheaper if you were looking for these games.

WWE Allstars is not worth £12.95. I already threw myself on that grenade, please don't let my sacrifice be for nothing.

I got StarFox 64 3D in GAME pre-owned (like new, with stars code) for €15.95 the other day, couldn't believe it.

It still stings whenever I remember that I paid €45 for that

Tesco are selling Resident Evil Revelations for just Eur 32.50!

Quite the bargain, especially considering Tesco are selling the Mercenaries for Eur 35! It's Eur 45 in Gamestop, so thats quite a saving.

Picked up DOA Dimensions for 22 sterling from an Amazon marketplace seller, Findprice. Delivery was fast, condition perfect, not quite as advertised (white cover shown, black cover delivered) but v happy.

Personally I've enjoyed it more than Street Fighter iv. There's less emphasis on jiggly chests than its rep suggests and more emphasis on fluid combos and split second reflex than I could have hoped. also the dlc is still being distributed. There's a lot to do - arcade paths, survival mode, tag battles and the bonkers "plot" which fails spectacularly to explain what 3 ninjas, 2 Germans, an opera singer and a British lady have against eachother. My only gripe is how bland and samey the characters are. It doesn't help that 4 are literally clones of eachother.

Shinobi 3ds is about €17 delivered from TheHut.

It's actually quite good (reminiscent of the old megadrive games) but its really damn hard and the levels are overly long for a hand held system. Well worth the price, though, if you like challenge.

Mr E

Picked it up a few weeks ago for about €16 in the Game post-Christmas sale. Very good game, but very hard. Tip: Easy mode is actually Normal difficulty (Normal=Hard, etc.) - I struggled a lot with Normal mode for a week, and found the game much more enjoyable on Easy.

Its a (parden the pun:P) kickass game! I'm just so sick of ninjas though! The fact that half the roster can ninja kick/fireball spam just bores me to death. That and the fact that they'res not a female counterpart to gen fu:mad:
Having said that i main as Eliot:D

Everyone with a 3ds should buy this game!!!

Got it today for €17.99 with SSFIV for the same price in Argos!

Banjo

Ok, now that there's three of us, we can dispense with the pretense. Who's got the best knockers in the game? I'm giving my vote to Hayate.

It's not listed on their website under 3DS games, but they do have it at that price in the clearance section :
DOA Dimensions - €17.99 - Argos

Street Fighter 4 3DS - €17.99 - Argos

Resident Evil : The Mercenaries (NOT REVELATIONS!) - €17.99 - Argos

Hmm... would you recommend Mercenaries? €18 is a good price seeing as everywhere sells it secondhand for €30 with only one save file, boo.

It's okay. It's only a time trial with constant shooting. Controls are messy, there's no story to it, but the zombies are human. I think Capcom just released it to show the capabilities of the console.

As for DOA women. I'd say Tina's a dirty one in the sack.

readyletsgo

Haha cool.

Maybe I will skip RE:M, have RE:R and the raid mode is brilliant in that so prob just dont need it.

I would recommend it, especially for that price, if you're struggling with it remember that online achievements count in the overall game so unlocking characters and getting high achievement points is piss easy when you play DUO online and find some Japanese kid who has the hardest character and all the weapons in the game (Hunk, Grim Reaper suit)

The online play is still overpopulated with people and you will never be short of people to play with!

Good stuff, it's £15 in HMV in the UK where I live, so yeah same price:D

PES 2011 is just £8 too in the same place

Banjo

Bit of a Necro but didn't see the point in reinventing the wheel....

Super Pokemon Rumble for 3DS in Tesco (I saw it in Ballybrack) for €15 which is a good 5-15 quid off any price I've seen it go for.

I saw Super Mario 3d Land new in GameStop on Patricks St in Cork today for the surprisingly low price of €19.99

It's also in the 2fer, isn't it?
Star Fox was a under €9 new on Friday if they still have stock

Sainsbo's in Sprucefield had lego Batman 2 3ds for £14.99, box said it comes with the Lex figure. Also had ZombiU for £19.99 if, say, you live in Louth and have no credit card?

Shop or site? I kinda want Star Fox....again

cloud493

Both I think.

Thank you for posting those prices! I don't often browse in GameStop, so I wouldn't have known about the discounts except for this thread.

By the way, for anyone else thinking about picking up a game or two, the stickered prices of the games on the shelves may not match the figures mentioned above, but you'll probably find that the lower price is what comes up on the till when the salesperson scans the game — at least, that was my experience. StarFox 64 and New Art Academy were stickered as costing €19.99/2 for €30, but rang up as just €8.82 each at the till (and that was what I was charged).

Thanks again, gubbie, Banjo, and cloud493

Let us know. I'm pretty sure game don't honour mis-prices, a whole load of wii u and 3ds games were 1.99 for a day or two.
I already finished the game myself on PC ages ago, good game.
