New Ninty Gets!

New website today for smyths is dreadful, Kirby hasn't been on the site with the amiibo in months now anyone with eyes that work there is a six digit code on the sticker you can call a store and quote them that number for them to do a stock enquiry for you, can't make it out myself.

Banjo · 26-04-2017 10:11AM

if it's on clearance and you're not in Cork, Sligo or the other store in Limerick (it's never the one you're in) then it's not in store...

Edit : worth checking if you're after the Yoshi + Poochy bundle for €38, its showing up in stock in a few places with Cick'n'Collect. Remains to be seen if they'll honour it...

I picked up a Switch in CeX on Liffey Street. There was no joycon grip in the box. I went back in and they just didn't want to deal with me. Two of them stood there with blank expressions on their faces and the third flat out didn't believe me, yet he was the first to walk away because he didn't want to deal with the situation. I couldn't be bothered looking for a refund. I reminded them to check incoming boxes for all of their contents before putting them on the shelf then I cut my losses and picked up a grip in Argos. I won't purchase hardware from them again.

Nice!

If you have any Gold Points about to expire on MyNintendo, you can cash them in for the Pikmin 3 DLC.

I haven't copped how to sue that yet! I have some unclaimed ones also in the games I purchased (Playing through Bayonetta 2 at the moment and there looks to be one in the game case)

Do you just sign into the Nintendo site and claim?

Banjo · 26-04-2017 12:09PM

You can't claim Stars points any more, that closed down over a year ago, sorry.

Gold points are for Downloads from the eShop - link your NNID to your MyNintendo account and it'll sort out the rest by itself. Can't remember if you're Zeldaing on WiiU or Switch - If you bought a Switch you can register the retail cartridge for a small amount of Gold points - there's a sub-menu option after you highlight the game. Fecked if I can remember how to do it.

The DLC for Pikmin ain't cheap - it's 20 or 30 gold coins per bit and they're not very substantial as far as I can see, but it beats letting points expire.

I am playing Zelda on the Switch
I had a problem with linking my Switch and Wii U accounts
Basically I had a Wii U before and it wouldn't allow me use the same account again on a different Wii U
So I have the annoying problem of having a separate account for both my Switch and my Wii U even though they are both technically linked to my Nintendo account in some way
I find Nintendos handling of accounts massively convoluted

You let them off way too easy.

I would have gotten the grip or my money back for sure.

I think "make sure the customer knows you don't give a ****" is in the CEX franchise pack. Quality wanker move there with your Joycon.

Then again, if you had folk trying to sell you stolen tat all day with the most convoluted excuses, you'd be pretty jaded, so I'm 50/50 on the whole thing.

Caveat : CheckSmyths can't see it anywhere. The new Smyths site found a few in dundalk, fonthill and elsewhere. It proves nothing till they honour a click n collect

I'm in Limerick but I'm never near either stores.
Yoshi is click and collect but none here, pity, just want Poochy!

MilesMorales1 · 26-04-2017 04:11PM

Can anyone make out the code on Kirby there?

How much did you actually save getting it from them?

As opposed to buying it new?

And then having to buy the grips?

RobbingBandit · 26-04-2017 04:33PM

Did the switch say boxed or unboxed on the receipt buying from cex 99/100 you get everything but it is a second hand store so you get what you get really.

I couldn't get it new anywhere. It was payday yesterday and I fancied splashing out. I didn't care so much about the price. I'll know next time!

I agree.

I was going to have to cart the Switch back to Dublin (I commute each day) and then pay for transport in and out. I was only losing out on about €5 by having to buy a grip in Argos. Of course there's the principal of the matter and in that respect I let them off. I just found their millennial disinterest nauseating. Happy to see the back of them.

I'd be interested if you decided to swap the other one.

RobbingBandit · 27-04-2017 08:34PM

What have you got to swap?

RobbingBandit · 28-04-2017 10:50PM

I'd swap for the following one of thesr zelda amiibos, Toon Zelda, guardian or archer link.

Hey sorry just saw your posts now. I don't have any of those unfortunately, was on the hunt for those myself.

Sold! Where do you want to meet?

BTW, the stand is unboxed and my kids cut the box up into tiny pieces this morning, is that ok?

The thing comes with sheet music for Twinkle Twinkle, Mary had a little lamb, auld lang syne, happy new year, and happy birthday.

Dissappointed it doesn't give the tab for Eponas song etc...

Had never even seen this in stock in my local Gamestop before, pretty good for the Limited Edition. Only one they had it seems and have no idea if it was just store specific.
