Put the cartridge in your switch, highlight it from the Switch screen (with the thumbstick) and press the + button. There is an option there to claim your points.

Edit: Snap.

Legends! I've only got two physical games admittedly, but that sweet €1.20 in points is still something!

Zelda Breath of the Wild for €38 from a quick visit to Cape Town was a winner for me!!

I've been eyeing up Astral chain since it was released, can anyone vouch for it?

nintendoo

Unravel 2 down to 7.49

Deku deals is a great website ... It's more up to date tran the bloody nintendo site and easier to navigate

Wishlist emails are great.

I have Astral Chain. Didn't get very far into it but I enjoyed what I played.
It's very like Bayonetta in that it's deceptively simple to get started but with a deep enough combo system that there's plenty to master and the plot is over-complicated ill-thought out delightful chaotic bull****. If you like action-adventure combat games, Anime sensibilities and watching villains and heroes compete to see who can chomp through the most scenery with their angsty dialogue, it's a winner winner chicken dinner.

As for Zelda being an 80 hour game, didn't Sligeach put that amount in before he got around to going to the first Village? To measure BotW in time is to try to teach the grains of sand on the beach to speak french.

Star Lord

Yeah, I've easily put in 250+ hours into BotW...

I can't remember how long it was before I went to Kakariko village, it was a lot though. I deliberately avoided it, as I wanted to do my own thing. But it was a big number alright, I've played over 475 hours in BOTW, still have to finish the second part of the DLC, but otherwise it's 100% complete, and I mean EVERYTHING. I'm saving that for a rainy day.

Owners of Starlink who want to get DLC on the cheap, the Collection Packs are going at €20 each. I'm tempted by Collection Pack 1 as I have gotten back into it recently and a fair chunk of the design is geared towards pushing you to buy extra ships & weapons, and €20 isn't a bad price for the contents. Its regular list price fo €70 can get in the bin, though.

Does anyone know why cards work in South Africa if I go on holidays there ,

Would it be my regular bank card or my revalot card ?

Mr E

My debit card works fine.

It was for the first year and a bit.
And then we got Splatooned.

(But they always stated that it was going to be chargeable)

Is Starlink any good? The Deluxe edition is approx €18 on the SA store.

Tempted to pick up Gunbrick: Reloaded, was 20% off earlier but missed it, still only €9 on SA.

I bought the physical version, so I haven't really played it a lot. But the DL version seems to get some praise here, as you don't have to swap the ships an mess around with the figures etc.
And it seems to be at it's all time lowest price

Does anyone know if My Friend Pedro worth €11.62 from South Africa?

blockfighter

I enjoyed My Friend Pedro. Very enjoyable style. A lot of the levels are samey-samey and then they get weird towards the end. But there is fun to be had with it. Also it's a tad on the short side.

Starlink is amazing, very clever little game. No man's Sky with a story. I played for a good 20 hours but hit the wall where you need to buy new real ships to get new weapons and a bit of repetition. Want to get back into it though.

If you can get around that with the DL it will give lots of value.
