    Handsome is 2 + presequel.
    Legendary includes borderlands 1 also.

    So legendary is 1, 2 + presequel?


    Obviously the better option..(unless 1 is no good?) Thanks.

    BL 1 is supposed to OK, but BL 2 is apparently way better - so I went for that as I don't have much time anyhow so would never make it through 3 of them

    Buy Kirby Star Allies for €48.99, get Kirby Plush Keychain for free (normally €12.99) in Argos.

    The game is OOS in my local Argos and they'd only one keychain, so YMMV on stock levels...

    This game never seems to move much price wise.

    It's 4 quid off a lower price. So less than 35 euro delivered I'd say. It's 45 from Smyths. Note: not a game that interests me, but if you've been looking to get it, it's cheaper now.

    Doesn't anything over €22 get hit with customs though?

    Very much enjoying Fenyx Rising. Might even be finding the combat better in it than in BOtW :eek:

    Yoshi and Kirby down 20% off their usual ridiculous price. Kirby not shipping until end of May. WTF is the story with these games. Why are they some of the more expensive Switch games ...

    Plus sterling down against euro.

    So, if you need some super cute simple platformers in your life to cure the covid blues...

    Still on the fence with these two.

    This isn't new, every Nintendo game is over priced and never really goes down.

    If you want to pay for some bang average 5 or 6/10 games at a high price look no further than those Yoshi & Kirby games.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 68 ✭✭YoshiReturns


    Too much for me. Will wait until they are Nintendo selects or maybe get second hand. Not giving N any more of my money until they reveal something great again like BOTW2. Think I've recovered from my Nintenditis. :)

    Oh, I don't agree, I have never felt short-changed with a Kirby game on any system, bar the one released on the WiiU, and the Yoshi title is great fun and looks fantastic.

    I actually think Yoshi is a far nicer game than the likes of BOTW and most of the Mario stuff. It's way more creative and entertaining. Wooley World is my only Wii U game.

    you're in a severe minority there I would be very certain in stating.

    Yoshi was fairly decent. Easy enough, and seems to be a lot of post game, but I had kinda lost interest by then. Kirby was boring and way too easy. Did not enjoy that at all.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,747 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Yoshi is a beautiful game, very chill and a nice way to spend some good platforming time, but it is just not in the same league as BOTW.
    Yoshis Crafted World is more like a charming toy, while BOTW is a place to visit and stay, with masses of adventuring potential.

    See that's fine for you but to me BOTW is the toy while Horizon Zero Dawn is the mass adventure. I wasn't comparing BOTW to Yoshi as games. I was stating I think Yoshi is a much better designed and creative game to me. And I don't really like platformers except Sonic so Yoshi done something right to get me to buy a Wii U haha.

    Anyways back to bargains, if you can find crated world for about 30-40 quid I'd get it.

    Balan Wonderworld €50 on Smyths

    Bravely Default II €40 on Smyths

    Went with Bravely Default II as I think Balan needs to be €30 or less before it is worth buying

    I think Balan needs to be less than €1 before anyone should bite. The demo was brutal and its reviewing terrible in most places.

    Two excellent games reduced, from the same developers.

    Limbo is reduced to €2.

    And the follow-up "Inside" is reduced to €4.99

    I managed to pick up yoshi & toad treasure tracker last week for 31.50€ each off the Russian eshop while nintendo had a sale.
    They are actually nice 1-2 players to play with your kids for that price.
