    Any tips for getting a ring fit ring + leg strap on its own?

    Nintendo website doesn't seem to sell them

    Ring fit accessories on Amazon

    RPG Maker MV Trinity (English) is on Play-Asia for €19.71 delivered (economy)
    It is €12.91 + shipping.
    If anyone going for it and just in case you forget, don't choose Economy - Duty Paid, as they will take for tax due @ 21% but there wouldn't be anything due at that price.

    My apologies and it seems the set you are after is sold out or costs almost as much as the original set cost, with the game

    Amazon DE doing 3 for 2 on some Switch games until Sunday:


    My final 2 arrived today. So disappointed I can't get the gold coins for them (over 2 years since release)

    Anyways, time to go out 32 mins into Super Mario U before letting it gather dust

    You'll never be able to put it down if you tuck into Super Luigi U instead.

    I'm new to switch and loving odyssey, my wife loves 2d mario is deluxe worth picking up?

    Yep, it's the best "Modern" 2D Mario. You could also get Switch online for all the old 2D Mario games. But go for deluxe for something with a fresh lick of paint and gameplay. Warning: Mario 3D World out soon will blow your mind. It's 2D Mario in 3D (ish). Brilliant game.

    It's very hard to go wrong with any Mario game really.

    I have mario 3d land on ds and its an odd one as neither of us warmed to it, is world much better

    I *almost* bought it but then remembered that I have taken Mario Kart Live Circuit out of the box exactly twice...
    Probably not the best investment then!

    I don't know, I actually enjoyed the New Super Mario World on my DSLite the most, on release.
    I find some sections of New Super Mario Bros Dx just too frustrating.

    Super Mario 3D World is a different beast to Odyssey, and I can't wait to play it again.
    In preparation, I have been playing Super Mario Odyssey again, after a break of nearly two years and got to the Dark Side of the Moon for the first time!

    Must break out Captain Toad as well, have it on 3DS and Switch, a great game too.

    Ok, It's similar to 3d land on the 3DS. So, if you didn't warm to that, then ...

    I enjoyed 3D Land.
    3D World is a lot better. HD visuals, muti-player, cat-mario, gorgeous music.
    Have a look at some reviews, trailers, ...
    It's stunning on a decent big screen. Forget hand held mode. And pump up that music!
    Plus the switch version is coming with "Bowser's fury".

    I think you need to talk to your doctor if you don't warm to this. :)

    Going to leave you with just 1 level from SM3DW. Just look, and just listen to that music!

    https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08KX6S4QZ/?th=1 (Digital)
    And other colours and offers

    Shipping €8.28

    Anyone know the best place to get Breath of the Wild right now? I want to get it from Ireland or mainland Europe ideally so as not to be messing around with BREXIT shenanigans. It's on Currys website but no home delivery.

    I suppose I could get it on E-Shop but I imagine it'd be a fairly large game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,665 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    It's 13.4 GB to download.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭YoshiSays


    Funny

    BOTW is 10 times smaller install wise than other open world AAA games that came out at the same ish time and 10 times better :)

    Still full price too! That's cause it's worth it!

    Smyths might have it on cartridge or one of the EU Amazon sites. Maybe Argos. I'd get the cartridge. Digital is usually more expensive plus it's tied to your account.

    Wonder will Nintendo start doing Switch Selects (discounted) soon ?

    Yeah argos is a good shout cheers. I can't justify 70 quid for a digital only version of a 4 year old game no matter how well reviewed it is.

    As an owner of one I can tell you it's a delight... the yellow is lovely and really brings out the colour in games due to complementary colours.

    For example Hue was stunning to behold, as are most Mario/Zelda games which seem to have yellow accents in the game graphics.

    I'd wager the blue one might suit Luigi's Mansion 3 better although it looks great on the yellow too.

    Now, I'm even more sad :(
    And, concerned I might need to buy different lites for different games. Joking!
    I'd imagine lites will be 150 quid by the end of the year.
    Nintendo have created a market all for themselves with Switch.

    Two of my wishlists are on sale.



    Immortals Fenyx Rising is 35% off (€60->€39 here, or ~ €30 in Russia)
    Scott Pilgrim vs The World is 20% off (€15->12 here, ~€10 in Russia)


    The second game is a fun Beat em Up (think Castle Crashers or Streets of Rage) based on the comic books. Came out ~10yrs ago on Xbox Arcade but don't think it's been released on anything else due to licensing issues. I really enjoyed it when I played it originally.

    Immortals is great, almost 40 hours my self and about ready to beat it, well worth the money

    Agreed - the season pass is still full price (though you can get the Gold Edition for about 50ish or so) - It'll likely not get a drop until all 3 of the DLCs have been released.

    Ubisoft are fairly notorious for rarely having the season pass reduced in price.

    Not unusual to see the Gold Edition of Ubisoft games reduced to less than the price of the season pass.
