    Nice get, that's a great price for still one of the best games of all time and one of the top two LoZ games of all time.
    It's also a masterclass in how to remaster.

    Very little stock of it about now and considering the price in CeX is €40 I'm chuffed specially as I've still got a gold box from the original launch so the cart will soon be resting in that.

    I stumbled upon Sonic Rush Adventure and took the chance to buy it for €15 in CeX.

    Found a great deal in Golden Discs in Henry Street last weekend loads of games 5 for €10, best of the bunch was Majoras Mask, Tintin, Lego Indy, GTA Chinatown Wars and Sonic Racing ds version, I bought everything in sight saved me a bunch on Majora been trying to get in for months there are a few wii and ds games left but nothing worthwhile which is why I didn't post it in bargains thread.

    After 2 years of looking I got myself Pokemon soul sliver fully boxed and a real cart and copy for 30 euros on donedeal.

    Who would have tought would have been that hard to get one?. As I nearly bought one last year just the cart and was fake !!!.

    Delighted is a understatement as been trying to 're buy all my Pokemon games for the past 2 years as my neaphow got sticky fingers and they went walking !!!

    So, finally, The End Is Nigh arrived, and very nice it is too!

    Comes with yet another witty manual as well as a little squishy Ash character.

    The manual is clever because it not only includes instructions but also a perspective on the making of the game, with photos and production sketches, which is pretty cool.

    So, another Nicalis physical release in the collection!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭wheresmahbombs


    Finally got it.

    The End is Nigh is H.A.R.D. !!
    And expensive!
    I paid about €30 for the physical edition but it's €14.99 on the eShop.

    Bought Pokemon Crystal in Argos gods damn the AI was brutally difficult even at the start of the game poison this, paralysing that, they don't make em like this any more that's for sure.

    I also collected my €24.99 PuyoPuyo Tetris for my Switch, and it seems to be great fun, is love to see Mr Driller: Drill Land come to the Switch, I have it on the GameCube and it's probably the definitive version of the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Amazon package arrived today...hooray, my brush soap!!

    ...oh yeah and Fire Emblem Warriors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,392 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Picked up Fire Emblem Echoes for not so good €35 in CeX need it as a gift over weekend coming, might give it a go myself first though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Just got Arms on eBay for €16 including postage. For that price it's worth a punt.

    For that price it's an absolute steal. Great game that's had a lot for content out since its been released.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Even if it turns out to be not for me, CEX are offering €22 cash on trade in. So its a win win situation.

    Let's hope they're not pulling your leg :p

    Ebay still takes punts?

    I failed miserably on my promise to go digital only for the Switch. A full game on a physical cart makes my bones fizz too much to ignore.

    Picked up the Axiom Verge Multiverse Edition.

    A couple of surprises. The reverse cover has a cyberpunk/apocalyptic version of Super Mario Bros. :)

    hROwJQA3E87ob49wAtjtEowhJ15QEKJaYdAijWBukxE.jpg


    Secondly, the very back page of the artbook contains a passage from this one-man developer Tom Happ stating that the publisher BadLand Games are donating 75% of all profit from the physical versions towards treatment for the developer's son who took ill with a life-long neurological condition shortly after birth. Nice touch.

    That's a lovely thing alright, and at €39.99 in Gamestop a nice near price match with Amazon as well.
    Must see what I have to trade in the pile and pick it up.

    Nice get there Pac1Man. There's no difference in the game itself is there? Just bought it from the e-shop the other night before the sale ended. My first e-shop purchase. :pac:

    No, no difference. Haven't started it yet though. Heard great things about it.

    They're not all Nintendo related but I'm too lazy to take two pictures.

    I always loved Pilotwings 64 but never got the love that the Snes original received, and continues to receive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭wheresmahbombs


    Still have to hook up my OG SNES eventually and give PW a try.
