It is pretty forgiving

I'll keep it if it doesn't sell in next couple of days and give it a go.

Picked up 51 Worldwide Games in the eshop sale for 25 pounds or whatever they converted it to in Euros.

(Seemed very reasonable and mostly enjoyed what I've played so far. The computer players in Texas Hold Em though are complete morons and make the game ridiculously easy as a result. Golf isn't great either, when they could have just stuck a version of Wii sports golf on there.)

I thought you couldn't re-sell a download code after activation. How do you manage to do that? Cheers.

Haven't activated it afaik! Maybe I have!

Apologies. I assumed that you had activated it when you said that you thought the curve was too steep - ie that you had played your copy.

Ah right, no, just going by reviews.

I bought physical version a while back and have not got a clue how to play. Have tried looking up tutorials, just gave up, with the intention of trying again at a later date. Hasn't happened yet.

It probably might have helped if I had played any of the previous ones.

+1 on this one, I usually love all those city builder strategy games but this one was way too tough to handle

Ring Fit Adventure got a bit of reduction in GameStop. It's now €69.99 but given stores are closed and currently impossible to click&collect, it comes to €73.49 with delivery. It's slightly cheaper than Smyths @79.99 with free delivery.

Picked it up from there yesterday. Going to dust it off after work!

Is there a list somewhere of eshops you can buy from easily? Hoping to pick up a few big games today in the sale and trying to save a bit of money if possible - super Mario odyssey, Zelda breath of the wild, two point hospital and maybe Luigi's mansion if I save money on the other 3.

I have accounts in South Africa, USA, Russia and Japan.
For South Africa and Russia, you can use your own credit/debit cards.
For USA and Japan, you need to buy eshop credit from websites like PCGameSupply or play-asia.

South American eshops have amazing discounts, but it's impossible to pay from here.

Compare prices across all eshops here:

Thanks Mr E - I've been using south Africa mostly but all the games are more expensive there this time around. Russia considerably cheaper though, I'll save €26 altogether buying the 4 games there. Belated Christmas present to myself.

Not too much on sale in the EU this week, but the US are having a massive sale (much of the same stuff that was on sale here in the new year but some new stuff).

City of Brass is 90% off.
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is 50% off.
Blaster Master Zero games are 50% off.
Horizon Chase Turbo 75% off
Ghostbusters Remastered 75% off
The Talos Principle 75% off
Katana Zero 40% off
All Devolver Digital stuff discounted.

If you have a list on Deku Deals, change currency to USD and see if any of your wishlisted games are on sale.

Aladdin and Lion King Classics is reduced on US eshop to $9.99 fun games and still €35 on Irish eshop

Those two are basically Aneurism: The Game, great memories but hard as balls.

Grandia collection is €20 on eshop currently great PS1 and PS2 RPGs absolute bargain for two engaging games.

Picked this up last time it was on sale. Finished Grandia and cannot recommend it highly enough if you like JPRGs. Fantastic game, combat system is great. Must try get started on Grandia 2.

Wait for the new Mario one... though not sure if it will be more expensive?

Comes with a nice case though. Not sure if they all come with cases (I have a Lite)

It's €329.99 in Smyths and online. I stumbled across it a few times.

The games are single use codes tied to the console and NNID once used, I'd literally kill millions* to see a Zelda 35th Anniversary Switch console down the line in a few weeks or months when the Zelda celebration announcements are made.




* Of Goombas

Yet to own a switch but have my eye on the red1 but part of feels like a "Pro" version will come later in the year

The Switch is still selling by the bucketload, I don't see Nintendo in any urgent rush to release a completely new console for another 12-18 months.
