    Just got a shipping notice for my G&W... coming in via Parcel Motel so there will be a bit of delay, but I am looking forward to this one.
    Pity they didn't stick SMB2 and especially SMB3 on there was well, SMB3 is amazing.

    I'm crossing my fingers for some sort of hakchi for this.

    If I can get Batman on it I'm more than satisfied!

    Looking at the atypical menu structure I'm not holding out too much hope.

    Then again, every mini console so far has been successfully been hacked and new games added.
    If there is a way, they will find it!

    There is probably a port somewhere inside for testing purposes, that'll be the way in.

    I keep meaning to look at this, I adore Abzu on Steam and if it runs at all well on Switch I'm happy to double-dip. Metacritic looks pretty good - 80 on reviews, 7.8 user score. The video here suggests the graphics hold up well, so I may take a punt on it over the weekend, I could do with an excuse to play something relaxing...

    Aldi look to have a great deal on its website in the UK for Black Friday, Switch for £230, which is about €256.

    Don't know if they'll have a deal here, but could be worth trying to order through Parcel Motel if you're in the market for one this Xmas.

    Edit: The Mirror reported it but the page they linked to on Aldi's site is missing, so maybe take this as tbc

    Yep. Amazon have beefed up their next day delivery for Ireland. Have received a few things in the last two weeks that were delivered the day after order.

    They appear to be in stock on Smyths website too for 1-3 day delivery... slim chance you might get it tomorrow if you order tonight?

    Not sure if mentioned but Aldi UK are selling switch for £229 for Black Friday - could have similar deals here. Its the lowest they have gone to since release.

    If their stock is similar to their specials for the last year it'll work out at about 1 for every three stores.

    I'm seeing the opposite - I'm prime and I ordered stuff in the last couple of weeks and it's about 5 days before they are even shipped.....

    And still no shipping notice for my Mario 35 Handheld :(

    Five or so posts up: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=115270121&postcount=2456
    I'm skeptical it will make it to our shores, but worth keeping an eye.

    I'm raging I didn't pull the trigger when Prime Day had the switch and ring fit adventure for £315GBP. Monitoring closely over the coming weeks...

    I'm the same. I'm back to non-prime shipping times. I have a package ordered on 27h October, shipped 1st, due 4th, still hasn't arrived.

    I have 3 orders that were placed in the last week, nothing has shipped. All were 'prime' items.

    I know we're in a difficult time, and I'm not annoyed over it, I'm just saying that I too am experienced considerable delays for my Irish post, yet if I use Parcel Motel, it's normally delivered next day.

    From what I had read, it seems to have improved dramatically. I had a tenner voucher so I said I'd take a punt. I'll just return it if it's not great, but I do love me a good Metroidvania, and I've not really had a good one since Ori and Hollow Knight, and I was very disappointed in the launch of this with the issues.

    Charging away now, but had a quick blast and it's surprisingly playable with these big ol' mitts of mine, considering the size of the thing. Feels fine in the hand and controls/buttons work nicely.

    Screen is gorgeous with lots of brightness and no screen tearing.

    Sound is also very good.

    The clock is handy, though I just wish it had a built-in stand like the original Super Mario G&W.
    Hopefully a 3rd party case/screen protector arrives on the market that can be converted into a stand.


    Looking forward to the inevitable Zelda release next year :)
