    Looks like it's still there. Wish I had got a copy of it to trade in!

    https://www.gamestop.ie/switch-trade-list

    No go when I went into Gamestop, it's not on their list in store. In fact that list isn't there at all.
    They have some new switch trade list from October 1st, that only applies to trade in for the new Mario game that's coming out. If anyone else is successful though, I'd love to know!

    Monster Hunter Rise: Collectors Edition preorder at Gamestop for €79.99.

    https://www.gamestop.ie/Switch/Games/75933/monster-hunter-rise-collectors-edition.

    Now usually it wouldn't be a 'bargain' at Gamestop, but it's actually the cheapest pre-order I've found of the few that's up so far.

    Yooka Laylee and the impossible lair is 60% off on eshop. Think that brings it down to €12.

    Good, polished game. Still need to finish it. The platforming is great, but the over world stuff gets tedious and looks stupid and ugly. I'd like this game better without that. What were they thinking.

    I have to agree, the overworld stuff is just getting in the way of the actual gameplay which doesn't seem terrible.
    The first one reminded me, in the worst ways, of the N64 games from back in the day.

    Ghostbusters remastered is around €7 and Castle of heart is about €1.
    75cent if you are in SA.

    Even though critic reviews are middling, user scores are at a 7.

    Was in sports direct the other day, well there sister store brand maxx and they are selling video games

    They have games for all consoles however the switch stuff was all indie games at fairly good prices like 15 to 18 euros

    They had xenoblade 2 torna for 18 euros which is a fairly good price

    Loads of the games have game the U.K. games shop prices still on then

    So if your around a brand maxx worth popping in and seeing what they have as I was shocked to see games at fairly ok prices

    The last tomb raider for the Xbox was only 8 euros and the Davison 2 collectors edu was 20 euros

    Not surprised, Game have quite a few concession stores in larger Sports Direct outlets in the UK.

    Great game , very different. Well worth getting! Difficult is the only thing, but the satisfaction from figuring stuff out is great

    Gioteck JC-20 Neon curved Joy-con set down to €36.29 in Argos seem to be a small amount of stock available worth a buy for a spare set of joy-cons mind you they are third party so not gonna have every feature of the real deal.

    It is incredible but I am a tad too thick to get very far...
    Currently there's a Kraken causing chaos on deck and some truly unfortunate and eye-watering things happening to the crew but I couldn't manage to progress, and didn't want to go the walkthrough way...
    Might have to, get things moving along once again.

    The art style though, simply inspired!

    I was gonna play Dragon Quest after finishing my second Fire Emblem play through, but maybe I'll get that instead.

    Only on sale until the 18th I think. Picked it up last night cos I tend to assume they all go on sale for 2 weeks and I'll end up forgetting.

    Must get back to my second play through of Fire Emblem myself, love that game.

    I was going to "invest" in the Switch ports of the DQ games from the Famicom/SFC era but, instead, bought the set from Aliexpress.
    While they are reproductions, they are the SFC versions with the translations applied, so they work perfectly on my Snes.
    It just feels a little more authentic...

    I was just sticking the one I bought last year into a shoe box as storage!
    Nice little machine for playing your NES games, good idea to get a multi cart from the nice gang on AliExpress.

    Tempted by that ghostbusters game (good review here: https://youtu.be/uuNb1KmkkUg

    I just bought the obra din game though and I have quite the backlog...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,027 ✭✭✭seandotcomm


    I'd highly recommend getting Ghostbusters. Great game and a proper sequel to GB I & II

    It's a great game. Got it on the Xbox when it first came out and thinking about getting it again now.
