New Argos catalogue bargain of sorts. €36.99 for Xenoblade 2

http://checkargos.com/product/7238789

Literally been looking for a deal in this since I got my Switch in November. Ordered on Amazon last week. Only a tenner difference so not so bad. Good price at 37.

Xenoblade 2 is the best, definitely my most played game on switch so far.

For the Wii u debate, yes it was some what true at launch, even then though it's obvious switch had a future and the Wii u doesn't. There's a huge base of switch now and we are going to see some fantastic games, even there's a solid selection now

Axiom Verge is £9.99 on Simply Games. Think postage is £2 but still seems a good price for anyone who likes the physical game.

TrustedApple · 27-01-2019 04:18PM

Axiom Verge another game i have in plastic.

Jeses I need to stop buying switch games I think I have about 40 hard copy games for the thing and I think maybe played about 17 of them at must?.

You mean TheGameCollection. They had the Multiverse Edition on sale a few days ago for £12, Tom Mann Centuria posted it here. Unfortunately it's out of stock for anyone now interested.

It's free for PC to download on the epic games website. Would there be any difference?

Was wondering why it hadn't been posted in the freebies thread. Not available until Feb 7th. Thanks for the heads up

That looks like an unreleased Nintendo PC / Wii U laptop prototype

Ha!
When I was in nursing school they had a camcorder....
Remember those?
Well, when I say "camcorder" it was actually a set of a camera and a separate VHS recorder, which had a natty shoulder strap.
Looked like something from an AV Club you'd see in a school in an American movie.
Mad.

Used to "borrow" it to watch rented films from the local video shop!

Lego Harry Potter Collection is 24.99 in Argos, order and collect is about 2-3 days. They're older games, but they're very good, and there's a lot of game here, and they are one of the more challenging Lego games, but it's not going to give you too much of a cranial workout.

SMC92Ian · 28-01-2019 07:24PM

I know it's silly but I prefer to get 3rd party Lego games for the PS4 as I have more fun going for the platinums.

Nicalis have been having a sale in the US on the Switch eShop for the past few days. Thankfully and for once as far as I can remember, they've extended it and are having a sale in Europe.

Blade Strangers – $14.99 (was $39.99)
Cave Story+ – $14.99 (was $29.99)
Ikaruga – $9.99 (was $14.99)
Ittle Dew 2+ – $9.99 (was $29.99)
Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San – $4.99 (was $14.99)
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ – $19.99 (was $39.99)
The End is Nigh – $4.99 (was $14.99)
Tiny Barbarian DX – $9.99 (was $29.99)
VVVVVV – $4.99 (was $9.99)

Just swap € in for $. There's some good reductions there.

Suckit · 30-01-2019 06:15PM

CiDeRmAn · 30-01-2019 08:09PM

Tiny Barbarian DX is €14.99

I don't have room in my life for another one of those games!

skerry · 30-01-2019 08:28PM

Ittle Dew 2 looks nice. Worth getting?

I was looking at Binding of Isaac but it looks very Gungeon like and I haven't played much of Gungeon since I got it

RobbingBandit · 30-01-2019 08:36PM

Argos vouchers back in play so price hikes all round unfortunately harry potter back to €32 xenoblade 2 up to full price. €55 I think.

Kimbot · 30-01-2019 10:09PM

Just noticed the starlink battle for Atlantis pack for the switch for 21.99 on Argos. Not a bad price.

Disgaea 5 is down to 29.99 at the moment (50%) off. Can be had for 26ish on other stores. Must give the demo a go over the weekend, I've been enjoying my JRPG's lately

It's not really an RPG, it's more like XCOM/Mario and Rabbids turn based combat style game.

manual_man · 01-02-2019 02:56PM

I'd recommend Pool Panic for anyone who fancies something a bit surreal and whacky

um7y1h83ge06nx · 04-02-2019 09:16PM

Not just Nintendo related but handy for the Switch all the same.

A 256GB Integral micro SD for £27.99 with free delivery.

Any deals on the new 2DS XL with ocarina of time?
I’m interested in the new 3DS XL but they seem to be tough to find at a reasonable price!
