Pretty much. I've heard good things, so I'm not worried about the gameplay, just interested to see how it performs in handheld now (reviews are on the original version pre any patches)

Mr E · 17-12-2020 05:15PM

Big sale on now, 60 games on my DekuDeals list are on sale. :pac:

Site is crashing right now so I'll have a good look later.

RobbingBandit · 17-12-2020 05:18PM

Ni No Kuni down to €14.99 for those that missed it, not as cheap but still cheaper than in store prices from Gamestop and CeX

ThunbergsAreGo · 17-12-2020 05:22PM

Any Christmas eShop sale upcoming

Thought there was one last year?

RobbingBandit · 17-12-2020 07:21PM

Christmas eve next Thursday I'd say we will see some drops in between now and then as Mr E posted earlier a rake of stuff has dropped today. Standout for me is Streets of Rage 4 although I am tempted to see if it plummets in Smyths or Argos next week.

I loved Xtreme G Racing Association on PS2 so I've been waiting for Fast RMX to drop for a while. 50% off. Excellent.

Edit: down from 20 euro to 10 euro.

A great list on hukd of the massive reductions in the sale, unfortunately the prices are in sterling so they will be slightly higher in Euros.

I'd definitely recommend picking it up at some stage if you liked the originals. They did a great job of recapturing the spirit of the games

Ok last time I'm gona mention it but Party Crashers is 90% off. Down to 1.50. This is great multiplayer fun for kids (or kids and adults) if looking for some cheap games to load onto Switch for Christmas. Also lets you split joycons for multiplayer like mario kart.

Gameplay and details on the race formats and weapons

Well that's awful news with 10 days notice Parcel Motel are stopping virtual addresses.

CastorTroy · 18-12-2020 09:55PM

Well sounds like AddressPal will get a lot more customers. Though I was wondering about those services. Can see them being phased out

An Post AddressPal are now the only provider left providing this redirect service from the UK

Maybe Parcel Motel will restart again - remains to be seen. DPD / Parcel Wizard are gone

There will be extra charges and only delivery to home address (more expensive) for AddressPal now

Plus any additional customs and duty charges due to Brexit

https://addresspal.anpost.ie/terms-and-conditions#:~:text=PLEASE%20NOTE%20ADDRESSPAL%20SERVICE%20IS%20CHANGING&text=From%201%20January%202021%2C%20%E2%80%9CAddressPal,that%20date%20are%20not%20affected.

Corholio · 19-12-2020 03:00AM

After January 1st Addresspal will actually still allow you to redirect to a local Post Office for collection there once it's processed, they'll send you a text or email with the redirect options. I think prices start at €6.95 so a lot less value in that regard.

Plus possible VAT.
€25 game could end up costing €38.66

Eduard Khil · 19-12-2020 05:41AM

Remains to be seen how this whole thing will effect Argos Smyth's and GameStop prices given how much of their stock would pass through or come from UK distribution services and centres. All this kind of stuff should have been sorted months ago but come what may in two weeks time buying things online and in shops is gonna be a whole lot more complicated.

Got my last Amazon UK order in for Mario 3D All Stars. £10 off for buying through the app so coming in around €26 delivered. A nice farewell purchase!

Brexit won't affect Amazon UK deliveries. They will pre charge customs fees and refund it if no customs end up being applied, just like with orders from Amazon US or Japan.

Still makes items more expensive no? Would put me off buying stuff, bought a few things from the us and never got refunded on customs

maybe but games are going to get more expensive such that it not be much cheaper than buying from Smyths... not to mention the headache of delays etc at customs

It won't. Amazon don't charge a customs clearance fee like An Post, it will be the cost of the item ex VAT + Irish VAT like it currently is. If you go over €150 you will have duty as well though.

if anything will make Amazon even more dominant, from an Irish perspective.

Gets tough tho.

CiDeRmAn · 19-12-2020 01:39PM

I have it on the WiiU and the Switch and... well I tried to like it but it's all quite limited compared to either FZeroGX or Wipeout 2097/3/Pure/Pulse.
Still, I did buy them...

Suckit · 20-12-2020 08:18PM

Has anyone played Ys Origin?
https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/ys-origin-switch/
It is €9.99 (€8.34 in Russia) - looks good.

RobbingBandit · 20-12-2020 08:59PM

Yeah I bought it on Switch the day of release for €18 it's a button bashed tower crawler good fun I've been meaning to get back into it again too. Definitely worth a go for €10
