If you've not played it, I'd say go for Black Flag instead, it's a much better game than III.

Played the opening just to check quality and was happily surprised. No thoughts on the actual game/story etc. just yet. But it does play well.

I don't know if it will go that low. It went to around 40 or so a few weeks ago.

South Park The Fractured But Whole is €14.99 on the eShop. I enjoyed the Stick of Truth so this was the price to get me to put the trigger on the sequel.

The gold edition bundle might be worth a look as the dlc is meant to be fun think it's €25. Casa Bonita looks very good

You can get an 8bitdo sn30 pro+ for about 40 euro (34 stg) delivered from Amazon UK at the mo. Supposed to be the best d pad around and maybe best controller for the switch. For all the sweet 2d platformers and metroid yokies out there.

Anybody got one and care to comment. Kinda tempted.

It's great. Surprisingly huge game too.

Is III really bad, or worth playing before Black Flag? I've not played any Assassin's Creed games and have been told they're good. So was hoping to get the remastered, rebel collection and Black Flag (and whatever other ones are available) I am just unsure of what order they are in and which ones are available for switch.

AC 1,2 and 3 are all part of a connecting story and should be played in that order. From what I've played of the other games there's no real connection or order that is necessary to play them in. Just go for one that seems interesting to you. Black Flag is good fun, would recommend.

I played AC, AC 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, loved them. 3 just bored me and I've never finished it. Loved Black Flag, so much more enjoyable than 3. Would have been better again without the janky tailing/eavesdropping bits that it inherited from the earlier games, but it's still really good.

The story only connects on the outside and it's all just nonsense. Just play Black Flag, also is there people who don't have a 360 or PS4 here? Get them on those consoles if you can.

Thanks, so I think I'll just get the Rebel collection for now.

Black Flag is the only Assassins Creed game I truly loved. Those sea bits with your own ship were magical.

Saw this on HUKD:
Hori Split Pad Pro ~ £33 - Amazon

Arrived yesterday.

It's definitely like a split Pro Controller. It's a bit light, even compared to the Joycons, and I've only tried it with Dragon Age, which isn't really a game that will benefit from it, but I'll try with Assassins Creed tonight.

It seems like it's going to be a good buy for anything that involves moving a camera though!

Is DQ Dragon Quest? If so it's down to €30 in Smyth's.

Dragon Quest XI. Builders is more similar to Minecraft.

This is kind of a minecraft inspired spinoff as oppsed to a main entry in the series, which is Dragon Quest 11. Builders is brilliant though, based on the demo. Will be picking it up for 30 notes!

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is down to €40 in the sale. Think I'll pick that up. Dragon Quest still full price.

RobbingBandit

Ys VIII down to €30

Nothing of major interest in the sale today. Maybe Spyro but smyths have it for the same price physical cart.

skerry

Was hoping there might be a few decent 3DS games on sale with the sale announcement but it looks like its the same old garbage.

Grumpypants

Ori, this war of mine, and the Witcher 3 are decent value.

Your comment made me look at the Wii U eShop sale section out of curiosity, haven't looked at that in some considerable time. There's 40 games on sale there, some will expire at midnight from last week's sale, mostly trash, and not a single big game among them.

As an aside, do people still login to My Nintendo? I used to do it religiously every week for years, but stopped maybe a year or more ago. It's pretty useless for the most part.

I just log on to my 2DS anytime theres a sale announced for the Switch in the vain hope there will be some decent games on sale but it seems it's not getting a look in these days. Which is a pity cos most of the JRPGs I have my eye on are silly money to buy physical copies of.
