Out of interest, how did you manage to fill in the postal details ?
It looks like it's needs a German postal code.

(edit)
Doh - If I register first then buy ... rather than buying directly from shopping cart ...

Hmmm
"Delivery is only possible within Germany."

Anyway ... I've enough of a backlog

I could use my Irish address, they took the order and the money...
The postal code was just 0000!
But I'll wait and see if they ship it, if not it'll be refund time

If they don't, you can change address to mailboxde.com. Which would be free shipping to that address. Their shipping charges are very decent imo. They also offer consolidating (€10 per year), which is handy as you can leave them there and add other items.
I don't think a few more games would change the price of shipping (roughly €10) but after maybe 8 games in total it might go up to €15ish.

For anyone looking for a 2DS XL, Amazon are having a Warehouse sale with 20% off. There is a Black and Lime one for £103.87 after discount which seems a good price. Description is Used - Very Good which with Amazon can be anything from mint to average. It seems to be pot luck. From reading elsewhere, if it is in fairly poor condition on arrival, Customer Chat usually give an additional discount.

Might help a Boardsie in need!!

Don't think it ships with any adapter.

Yep that's correct, its just the USB cable (from having bought one myself last year).

It's a new boxed shrink wrapped etc etc 2ds XL. It comes with a European power supply. You probably already have an adapter. It's region locked to Europe/Australia. So, there should be no compatibility issues. I remember getting a 3ds from France once and it was fine. But please double Google check before you order.

Isn't the warehouse deal 2nd hand ... And also what guarantee do you have after Brexit ???

It's going to be complicated after bloody Brexit

None of the 3ds xl or new 3ds/2ds models shipped with power supplies.

My black/turquoise new 2ds xl came with an ac adapter.

nintendoo · 22-01-2020 11:16PM

If you are buying a 2ds XL then note that Amazon Germany and Italy have the selects for about 20 euro. Eg animal crossing , Luigi mansion 2 , Mario 3d land , a link between worlds. I see these else where at inflated prices.

All should be multi language but double Google check before you buy

Ikaruga is a great game is you like side-scrolling shooters. I've been playing it on-and-off since the Dreamcast. Never seem to get any better at it though :pac:

Had a look there, not many of them will ship to Ireland or PM. Been looking for a sane price for A Link Between World's. Ended up going with an Amazon Warehouse Used-Very Good copy for 17 euro

A Link Between Worlds.
Love it. It's got a great sense of fun about it. Self aware humour. So playable.
Need to get back to it.

Bloody hell - Majora's mask is going at stupid prices now.

I will never understand Nintendo-nomics. Even the Nintendo Selects versions of the games go for more than RRP now. Planning on paying off my mortgage in 10 years time with my 3DS game collection

Vertically scrolling shooter...

Sorry...

I can't help myself....

CastorTroy · 23-01-2020 07:43PM

Glad someone said it.

though I suppose through the magic of the Switch, you can play it vertically or horizontally, depending on how you hold the Switch.

But if you turn your Switch sideways. :eek:

Is sideways not still correct as you're going from one side to another? Now if he'd said horizontally scrolling...

(do I win a nit picking award?)

CiDeRmAn · 24-01-2020 01:09AM

I'm playing Shmups a long long time,
You've got vertically scrolling shooters, like Ikaruga or Dodonpachi.
You've got horizontally scrolling shooters, like Gradius or Progear.
You've got run and gun shooters, like Gunstar Heroes or Cuphead.

Side to side isn't really a thing though.

And rotating the Switch just changes your orientation, to the console screen, the game reorientates to make better use of the screen real estate, as long as it has a TATE mode.

And then you have side scrolling shoot-into-the-screen like the weird bits from Alien Storm and Bayou Billy, but we don't talk about them.

Ah, Nam 75 would be my favourite one of those, and it's on Switch!

Fysh · 24-01-2020 07:56PM

Futuregrind has been discounted until the 29th - UK price is £1.34, IE price is €1.49. Looks pretty fun at that price, anyone tried it?

skerry · 25-01-2020 01:27PM

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is down to £29.99 on Amazon at the moment. Great JRPG.
