    Orders over £25 from Amazon Uk are free to Ireland with the Super Saver Delivery in most cases when it's directly off Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon when off the marketplace. Not express but as with all online retailers if you wanted it fast pay extra and get it in a shop.

    then how come they charge me €10 for delivery and game price for £29.99:mad:

    So word on the interwebs is that you don't need a separate headset for ingame voice chat after all. You can supposedly use the gamepad mike and just connect normal headphones to the headphone socket

    games for wii u are £44.99 = 55.9127 euros + €10 delivery charge

    = 65.9127 euros from amazon

    while anywhere in anystore ireland they are €59.99

    Shhhh, it's okay honey. It's okay.
    Alsways select super saver shipping when ordering over £25
    However, you are right that amazon.fr do not do super-saver shipping. The charge is about 15 euro shipping from them.

    Not available outside of Japan as there isnt a game utilising a second gamepad at the moment. Should be in Spring 2013 with no price announced yet.

    As mentioned, its not announced yet, but looking at the Japanese prices...

    32GB Console ¥31,500 = ~€298.60
    Gamepad ¥13,400 = ~€127.02

    Gamestop will be charging €59.99 each, I am not going to bother with Nintendo Land as there will be loads of them traded in after Crimbo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott

    can u buy them now or have to wait until november 30th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭nitromaster


    Debating not getting Super Mario Bros U now and getting something else instead! (just started Super Mario World for the first time an hour ago...so good chance i'lll find the new game vastly inferior after!)

    If i even get a wiiu on launch :o so undecided tbh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77


    u forgot to mention, hmv have €5 off reductions any item in their that is €50 or more until November 30th

    wii u games = €52.99 - € 5 = €47.99

    They certainly don't make them like that anymore, that game is a masterpiece

    Emigrant here but will be back for Christmas and thinking of picking up the Premium pack (with Nintendoland) for the girlfriend. Can anybody tell me the best deal and what the stocks might be? Sorry to be lazy but 75 pages of a thread is a lot to read though :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    HMV seems to be the best bricks-and-mortar deal. It's around €350 for the Premium (Including Nintendo Land) pack
