For the code in a box? Because the Boxed Switch version is 29 atm

I ask because I'm after cheapest boxed crash on Switch, and depending on the exchange rate of the day, either Amazon or Smyths seem to be the way to go. Neither is amazing though.

No was definitely £23 boxed cartridge when I posted. I saw the deal on HUKD but can't find it now.

The End is Nigh is a hard one to love tbh.
Pretty brutal and punishing with little visual or narrative reward.
I have it, Isaac and Cave Story in physical form.
If Ikaruga gets the expected physical release I'll double dip and buy it too!

Agreed. I got to the water levels and gave up.

I felt like some of the early promotion was how it was McMillen's best game but I think, with a little time, it was all a bit more like The Kings New Clothes.
Certainly it's nowhere near as entertaining as Super Meat Boy.

thegamecollection currently 5% off, which basically translates to free shipping to Ireland. Most switch prices are a couple of pound cheaper than Amazon atm. Ends tonight

Was hoping to get a switch this Christmas, wondered is there any good time for any bundles? or would I just have to keep an eye out?

Debating whether to get one as all I want to play is zelda and mario but I am huge zelda fan.

Most likely the best time will be Black Friday. But you’ll have to be quick to grab the best deals.

Yeah was hoping for a game and the console for around 300ish.

I saw there was a bundle of a similar price by smyths while back.

There's a Fortnite bundle due for Christmas - now I know Fortnite is free, but this one comes with an exclusive skin - people go crazy for these things - seem to go for around 40 on eBay for the PS4 exclusive skin. :eek:

It's back down to £23 again.

I'm looking for a deal on a 2DS XL if anyone has seen any around. I don't see any great deals jumping out of me, but maybe someone here knows of a few floating about. Cheers

chrislad · 18-10-2018 08:22AM

Binding of Isaac is amazing, though I wasn't too impressed with The End Is Nigh. All the Nicalis games are on offer - Cave Story+ is a great game too.

deadl0ck · 18-10-2018 08:30AM

Yep - I played a good bit of Binding of Isaac and really enjoyed it.
I'm tempted by the End is Nigh at that price

End is Nigh just isn't worth buying as a physical title, and it is incredibly charmless, for a game from the maker of Super Meat Boy.
Needless to say, I have the physical edition!

But at a fiver, it's not bad and quite a challenge.

Gunther_Gloop · 18-10-2018 08:48AM

I'm fairly sure The Binding of Isaac is/was available on PS Plus (free). I'd much rather play that sort of game on Switch for some reason, which is why I downleded on PS, but never played. But thought I'd share in case anyone was considering it & has the Playstation option.

deadl0ck · 18-10-2018 08:52AM

It actually 4 quid on SA eshop - just bought it

deadl0ck · 22-10-2018 01:26PM

Hyper Sentinel is less than $3 on the US eShop

baldshin · 22-10-2018 08:16PM

SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC card down to £20 on Amazon. Bought it last week for £25 after my old card failed and it's working perfect in the Switch.

Folks I didn't want to start a new thread just for this so this looks like the best thread.
I'm looking to get my 9 year old some Nintendo merchandise like t-shirts etc.. the office Nintendo store is very sparse and nothing in his size. Amazon had stuff but nearly all look cheap. Any place you'd recommend for getting good Nintendo gear?

PS thanks baldachin, ordered up two of the 128gb for our switch and a spare..... You always need a spare :pac:

Not sure what stock is like now, but Penney's had a bunch of officially licensed t-shirts during the summer.

nocoverart · 24-10-2018 05:57PM

I know none of us have a crystal ball, but the Switch and Super Mario Odyssey for €340 (in Smyths) now or should there be better deals around Black Friday? thanks folks.
