They were down to £35 last weekend on amazon. I was too late, when I went to purchase them they had gone back up. But €75 seems around the normal price i think.

Pricing errors on Amazon aren't bargains really especially when they last 30 seconds

Nintendo joy cons are a plague - I've gone through 3 sticks so far repairing them. Had to get a set of controllers for my son to keep him off the joycons when the Switch is docked.

A lot more sellers seem to be offering controllers shipped from Europe. VAT and customs handling charges are gona be charged for everything from outside the EU from 1st July 2021. Good news for us as goods will arrive sooner. E.G. pair of controllers shipping from Belgium for under 27 euro:

That lasted the friday and saturday, loads got them on hukd.

I didn't see it until Sunday.

I didn't know the normal price, but knew that was cheap.
Blue and yellow were on ebay for €55.
I know nintendo stuff is pricey, but €75 seems like crazy money for those imho. The normal prices are insane unless a lifetime warranty comes with them, imo.

RobbingBandit · 06-09-2020 07:05PM

They've started to repair them in the US if the drift happens I've two switches and needed a replacement for my right joy-con so paid €46 in cex traded a load of cheap 3ds games to get it but even pre-owned the price is insane I might grab a set in PC World just in case Dublin area goes into lockdown

Suckit · 06-09-2020 08:03PM

I have seen them with games in bundles for €85 from Germany or France, I will keep an eye out. Lockdown pair might be essential

Due to the release of the DLC "forgotten Crypts" from the game Mana Spark, its developer Qubic's Games is giving away Mana Sparks free if you have one of the games on the list - Blazing Beaks, Dex, HyperParasite, Rimelands: Hammer of Thor, Tharsis, Warlocks 2: God Slayers or Roobonauts.

Having claimed a bunch of Qubic Games titles in the past, most have had a really strong bang of "perfunctory port of so-so mobile game" IMO and I can't think of any I'd speak highly of (I thought Koloro was the best of the bunch, then it turned out to have some crappy boss fights that were clunky and annoying so I bailed on it).

Is Mana Spark worth playing in its own right (e.g. at full price would it feel worth it?) I don't know any of the titles in the discount offer - are any of them any good?

Eduard Khil · 06-09-2020 10:32PM

Few NIS games reduced significantly on eshop

LapisxLabyrinth down to €9.99 is the one that caught my eye looks fun

Mana Spark is 90% off at the mo on eshop. Going for 1 euro. Not my cup of tea but if you like RPG action then I think you can't go wrong at that price. The aiming took me a while to get used to. Imo worth 1 euro. Wouldn't pay 10 euro for it tho.

As for Cubix games they are very hit and miss but usually very cheap or free so cant complain really. I enjoyed #RaceDieRun and Wreckin' Ball Adventure. I like racing and puzzle games.

itsa_me_mario · 08-09-2020 08:45AM

Cheap switch pro controller. Less than 10 stg with discount. Loads of fake 5 star reviews, but still ...maybe ok ... probably a lot of real reviews too.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08BRV7MKF

Hmmm, there is an additional 45% discount voucher check box. But it's not doing anything for me now ..

Gone. Just 15% off now..16.99 stg

The boy broke his 2DS XL Minecraft edition :mad:. Have to look out for any bargains on a new one from here to xmas - anyone seen any good deals on them?

Pretty sure the 2DS XL has been discontinued, you'll probably have to go 2nd hand.

They are on sale in Europe all the time brand new for less than €80 delivered, but not the minecraft edition.
Can you change the shell on them?#
I don't know what the prices are supposed to be, but I know that they drop that low on sale (quite often).

Neverout 3D rotating room puzzle game. Down from 7.50 to 1.00 euro. Good game and challenge for the price.

Of all the crap VR modes added to games on Switch (VR Mario Odyssey and VR Zelda are rubbish) - I think a game like this would be really good for Nintendo VR.

yeah I have it on my Oculus Go and it works great with that since it's limited to 3DoF similar to the Labo VR.

Are many new apps being created for the Labo VR or was that just a passing fad?

CastorTroy · 09-09-2020 04:16PM

At first I was thinking "Cube the game"

Haven't seen anything since the VR Labo came out.

Surely it cant be hard to add a VR mode to a game like this. Especially since the controls are simple and theres no clutter on screen. Seems perfect for it.

well, like, there is a VR mode similar to how Five Night at Freddies is also natively a VR game. It's in the game code, but they probably just don't have it enabled.

also here's the thing that's REALLY going to kill you: Alien Isolation has VR code in it from the ground up.

It is literally a 200kb dll to unlock it when playing on PC, but the PS4 (and I'm sure Switch) versions have this as well, they just don't have it turned on.

A game called Journey of the Broken Circle is free this weekend if you own any of these games.

Lydia
EQQO
Soul Searching
Infini

I think most people do.

7/10 review on Nintendo World Report so it's decent.
