    I was just having a browse on currys.ie and noticed some prices for Switch games. There were many that were too expensive but two bargains I noticed were Super Mario 3D All-stars @ €44.99 and (the real bargain) Animal Crossing New Horizons @ €36.99.

    https://www.currys.ie/ieen/gaming/console-gaming/games/674_4745_32482_xx_xx/xx-criteria.html

    Edit: New Super Mario Bros U also @ €44.99

    The one I pre-ordered from Nintendo still hasn't arrived.
    I might cancel the order and save myself a tenner.

    I may only pop up once in a while now but I always bring those Christmas miracle bargains am tempted to get one myself but I'm more inclined to go for that currys Animal Crossing deal at €38 to play in my second switch as I want to ripoff Mr Nook and what better way than to have two towns two Nooks to rob and a way to stroke my split personality ego(s) enjoy your Game&Watch although something tells me it's just gonna join the pile of trinkets. :D

    It's a lovely little device... it's been hacked now too, though at the moment it's a bit tricky to mod.

    They're working on building a neater device for modding it, perhaps something you can just attach when you remove the back cover.

    Ordered a game and watch too. Will go straight on the shelf next to the original game and watch I have from 1982.

    If you have any spare 3-pin plug covers, they make perfect stands for the G&W (usually find them on extension leads etc)

    Monster Boy & The Cursed Kingdom reduced to €14.99 on the eShop. That's the lowest price it has ever been. Finally decided to go for it after really liking the demo.

    BoTW can now be got for around €32.54 on US eshop. Even cheaper on Argentina and Peru eshops but I'm pretty sure local debit/credit cards are needed.

    I'm tempted to get it even though I have Wii U version. Decisions, decisions!

    IMHO, i'd buy the physical version (just my opinion as if you plan to resell it, Nintendo games are known to retain their base price for quite a bit...even for this games which is from... 2017?). For the time being it's about £37.99 (with code FNDDGAME) delivered in Currys UK (you'll have to add ParcelMotel/AddressPal extra)

    if you're willing to risk yourself to strike a good deal, cause it's a good price (I certainly hope Amzn matches it)

    This game is one of the better indie games I've played and all for a euro.
    It kind of reminds me of unravel with its peaceful music and puzzles.
    Thanks for pointing this one out.

    I wasnt expecting much but once you pick up the controls and know where all the colours are on the wheel the levels just flow. Surprisingly good controls and gameplay.

    Thats a good price if you are looking for an extra set of joy cons.

    If you are looking to replace due to drift here is a good post I found on hotukdeals about electrical contact spray fixing drift.

    Not a bargain I know but I'd say worth a try before replacing. Also Electrical contact spray can be had for a few euro. Doesnt have to be WD40 branded.

    Anyone ever played Snake Pass? €20 reduced to a fiver at the moment. I can't tell if it's too much of a 'kids game' or if I should give it a go.

    Early buy for me in the Switch lifecycle. Bought it full price and regretted it after 15 minutes. Hated the controls (but maybe I didn't have the patience to learn them properly).

    I'd say read/watch some reviews...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,379 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Played it on PC and like Mr E I couldn't stick with it because of the controls. Worse than Octodad. I wouldn't class it as a kids game.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,750 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    It looks lovely but controls like a pig, avoid.

    Flashback is a euro on the eStore. Serious memories!

    Anyone know how to get US credit on nintendo Eshop?

    Seems to be some decent sales there cause of the game awards elsewhere not so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,387 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Cdkeys.com has $20 and $50 cards they should email the code to you easy enough.

    Use them all the time.

    Cheers for that ended up getting streets of rage 4 , untitled goose game and ori and the blind forest not bad at all for 45 dollars all in.

    Official switch pro controller is £53 on Amazon, is that the cheapest yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Jurassic World is down to about 32 on the Russian eShop - it's a bit cheaper on the US but Russia is easier to set up and not much of a difference.

    Anyone played it yet?

    Is that the Lego Jurassic World game or the more realistic one? The Lego one is 28e in Smyths.

    It's the newer, park builder one.

    Ooh, cool. Didn't know it was a park builder, I think I just saw the title picture on the eShop. Is it like Rollercoaster Tycoon but where the rides eat people?
