    Flipping Death and Mr.Shifty look quite good. Will be interesting if there is any differences in the EU Direct at half past.

    Argos is €10 cheaper than Smyth's for the Zelda special edition, hmmm do I risk it?

    Stardew Valley Co-op in the Summer. Fantastic. :)

    Wargroove like Advance Wars had a quickie with Fire Emblem & was thinking about Pokemon.
    Hope Stardew Valley is a good port

    There's an EU based Direct on at 5.30. Don't know how different it may be.

    Shakedown Hawaii looked a blast as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,072 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Damn you Argos damn you all to hell with your overpriced console.

    The EU looks to be the be the exact same just with the different PEGI ratings added.

    Toe Jam and Earl: Back in the Groove is also coming to the Switch, it wasn't in the video but was shown on the graphic at the end.

    Bit of a Spelunky vibe from Steamworld Dig 2. :)

    You really need to try out SteamWorld Dig and Heist. They're available to play on so many platforms and are incredible indie games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Thumper, on PS VR, is also coming to the Switch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭Aokay


    So here's the Argos stock and prices. The Switch itself is above RRP but they have a special offer with memory cards. Couldn't see exactly what the offer was but you'd hope its buy a console, get a card with it, at that price.

    BOTW special edition is €100. Would have liked to have known this sooner, Argos.

    Pro tip!

    Use google translate.

    Copy the weblink, and paste it into the left box under a foreign language such as Spanish. the English translated side will have a clickable link. You can use this to access any site.

    Christ almighty the price of those joy-cons!! :eek:

    Pro controller just as bad.

    Is that the going rate from other retailers?

    I have Dig on the 3DS and PC (and I've finished it multiple times on both).
    I have Heist on 3DS and I'm not totally crazy about it but it's a good game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Rocket League would be great too if they were able to bring it to the system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭Aokay


    Pretty annoyed at Argos right now. Had they their prices up earlier I would have gotten all the accessories with them and saved a good tenner and more in the process.

    Their own fault, really.

    gamestop looking to charge 130 apparently (according the the manager of the st patrick street one) if thats the true price in argos i cant justify paying 30 more, was bad enough with smyths at 108.99. the guy claims the others are misprices and not the RRP
