FNAF is back to full price this morning (in case anyone was thinking of going for it). About €40.

I'm guess the price was meant to be 42 franc which is roughly €39

yeah seems I was right... someone got lazy with the double zero before hitting submit

Hoping Darkwood pops up on sale. Would love to give it a go but my backlog is keeping me from taking the plunge.

I didn't go for it, I watched that youtube video, and even though it was only 40cents, I don't think I would ever play it.

The escapists 2 has loads of versions or maybe DLC in the eshop on the switch, and a GOTY edition.

But they don't appear on eshop-prices.

Does the GOTY edition come with all of the other versions/packs?
The GOTY edition is 699RUB in Russia (around €8.90)

Can anyone who uses the hori splitpad pro telm me is it usable as a normal joypad in docked mode too. If not what is the best 3rd party wireless joypad for around 40 quid. Anything more and might as well buy the pro controller.

No, the Hori Split Pad Pro has to be connected to the Switch itself for them to work, they're not wireless.

A little bit more than €40 but you can't go wrong with the 8bitdo sn/sf30 pro. Great pad.

Cheers. Love the aesthetic. Is it a bit easier on the hands than the old snes pad.

Yeah, they do another pad with the palm grips like more modern pads with the same lay out if that is your preference.

They only do this one in black, Famicom and US Snes colours though, no EU/Super Famicom variant.

They don't have their own battery so have to be connected. It seems odd that they don't have a connector so you could use it as a controller.
But they are great, if you play hand held nothing cones close.

That's what I was thinking. Be a great way to cover all bases if you could join them. Suppose they be much more expensive then though.

Anyone with hands a bit on the smaller side (like myself) have any opinion about the Hori split pad pro?

Andrew76 · 26-05-2020 11:04AM

Hori Split Pad Pro £35 on Amazon currently.

It's not a million miles off the size and layout of the Xbox One controller.

I didn't have a huge issue with the small size of the Switch Joycons, it was more so the small area for the sticks to move and pick up how much you wanted to move left or right. It seems like the distance between the middle and a full press left or right was tiny. I found I was aiming all over the place, over shooting all the time and ending up just trying to move the character in line with enemies with the left stick to shoot them rather than aiming at them with the right.

All Mega Man games on Switch are on sale until the 11th June. There's some decent discounts, with as much as 50% off. Let me find the games:

€29.99 - €14.99(-50%)

Mega Man Legacy Collection

System: Nintendo Switch Release date: 25/02/2020
€29.99

in the coming days. There's no discount here just yet, but in the US it's down to $22.49. It should be a straight currency swap. Their sale only lasts until the end of the month, while we get the discounts for 2 weeks.

Sound for highlighting this. I've never played RE4, think it's time to finally jump on this.

Offer says European accounts too.

For whatever reason I can't log in on my mobile to check. Nintendo's site never loads for me, or the log in page opens but then closes again instantly, on any browser.

Mr E · 29-05-2020 06:40AM

They are all free for me in the US eShop. They are all about €2 in the Irish eShop (heavily discounted) That might change later though.

I probably got those required games elsewhere though.

RobbingBandit · 29-05-2020 07:45AM

Argos €48.99 for Xenoblade

GameStop and Smyths €59.99

The 2 stores reportedly in trouble(Gamestop definitely is) charging more. Little wonder why they're in trouble. Smyths aren't a bad store in fairness, again, Gamestop definitely is.

RobbingBandit · 29-05-2020 08:03AM

Or Argos fudged up as the game was listed at £49.99 on UK site to preorder.

Don't point at the mean prices take the good one and run with it as it's €48.99 now but who knows what tomorrow may bring

Thanks for highlighting the deal, just to confirm that these were all free for me on the irish account. Mana Spark was one of the games given away when Qubic did their giveaway. So handy enough, and softens the blow of some horrendous drift my left green joycon has just developed.

Mr E · 29-05-2020 11:56AM

If anyone doesn't have Blazing Beaks, it's a great little game. On sale in Europe (including SA) for a couple of euros.

(It's one of the precondition games, not part of this offer).

Suckit · 29-05-2020 12:36PM

If I buy Blazing Beaks or Mana Spark from SA, I am guessing it won't qualify for the free games in Europe?
I was looking at Blazing Beaks the other day, as it appeared on another site. So did Eqqo, so I will likely go for this anyway

Thanks, seems a great giveaway.

Yeah, thanks, picked the three of them up thanks to the Qubic giveaway at Xmas (I'm assuming, they were listed as free). Anyway, are any of them any good? I have a backlog as it is, any worth making sure I give them a go?

Yeah I picked up blazing beaks free with coins in SA, then the other 3 were free.
