Animal Crossing was added to the Amazon DE deal, but seems to disappear and re-appear every few hours based on stock levels.

They also have Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity!

I'm hoping they might add a few more games to tempt me as I have most of them already!

Yep, dpd and my experience buying from smyths has been great - very quick and good tracking info.

Smyths have always been good in my experience, preordered both the PS5 and Series X and had them early on launch day from UPS.

At that price, ya it's worth a go. I got it free on Stadia and played it a bit. Can't go wrong at €6.

CiDeRmAn · 26-01-2021 10:47am

It's a lovely game, I have it Saturn, PS2, Stadia and Switch.
They are bringing the even better sequel to the Switch, Steam andb hopefully Stadia soon.

After getting cold feet about the difficulty level of Civilisation 6 I am getting an urge to play a RTS, I see Northgard is still on sale for 13.99 in the eshop.

Anyone have this? Very tempted to have a crack at it.

I've been looking at that for a while too on and off. I saw it on Amazon Germany a good while back for less than €20. Didn't realise it was on sale now. I think I will go for it.
I love immersing myself in those type of games. Very disappointed that I haven't got to grips yet with Civilisation 6.
I didn't give Cities Skylines much of a chance either as it didn't really grip me.

I picked up the train sim on the switch (lover of trains) and I cannot get into it. the used interface is really bad and complicated.

I had a similar urge to you to play RTS on my switch, but it was set off my Starcraft.

I found this topic quite helpful as a jumping off point

Castlestorm and Castlestorm 2 wasn't my thing so I gave up very quickly. You shoot in big crossbow in real time from your castle while an opposite castle spawns tons of units to assault you. You can also spawn your own units, and you deal extra damage if you can headshot. It's definitely a "real time" game that requires "strategy" but didn't feel like an RTS to me.

Mushroom Wars 2 isn't really "true" RTS and looks like a phone game (it is, turns out), you can only send units from building to building. You can't move them to a point on the map which isn't a building. I beat the whole thing in like 2/3 hours but I wouldn't strongly recommend it.

From Orbit I thought was very cool, but very basic. It's a roguelike, where you have to gather resources on procedurally generated planets with your units while enemies spawn to attack your spaceship. Between levels you use the resources to upgrade your units. If your spaceship is destroyed it's game over. The enemies that spawn on each planet get stronger and more numerous the longer you're there; so at a certain point you have to decide you have enough resources from that planet and NOPE out before you're killed. I beat it three or four times through and then sadly deleted it, because as much as I liked playing it, there was no point playing it more as I had "solved" it.

Three years as far as Google tells me, I added a year when I still had 6 months left, so I'd say it's true.

I was the same, I found the Densha de Go games hard to enjoy, the language barrier is just too high, though the addition of the official train controller helps a lot.
My brother has the plug and play edition and it's much easier.

Someone on adverts selling them for nearly forty quid! Or AliExpress or 3rd party Amazon sellers, quality looks dubious to say the least though.

You'll never be able to put it down if you tuck into Super Luigi U instead.

Yep, it's the best "Modern" 2D Mario. You could also get Switch online for all the old 2D Mario games. But go for deluxe for something with a fresh lick of paint and gameplay. Warning: Mario 3D World out soon will blow your mind. It's 2D Mario in 3D (ish). Brilliant game.

I *almost* bought it but then remembered that I have taken Mario Kart Live Circuit out of the box exactly twice...
Probably not the best investment then!

I don't know, I actually enjoyed the New Super Mario World on my DSLite the most, on release.
I find some sections of New Super Mario Bros Dx just too frustrating.

Super Mario 3D World is a different beast to Odyssey, and I can't wait to play it again.
In preparation, I have been playing Super Mario Odyssey again, after a break of nearly two years and got to the Dark Side of the Moon for the first time!

Must break out Captain Toad as well, have it on 3DS and Switch, a great game too.

Ok, It's similar to 3d land on the 3DS. So, if you didn't warm to that, then ...

I enjoyed 3D Land.
3D World is a lot better. HD visuals, muti-player, cat-mario, gorgeous music.
Have a look at some reviews, trailers, ...
It's stunning on a decent big screen. Forget hand held mode. And pump up that music!
Plus the switch version is coming with "Bowser's fury".

I think you need to talk to your doctor if you don't warm to this.

Going to leave you with just 1 level from SM3DW. Just look, and just listen to that music!

Anyone know the best place to get Breath of the Wild right now? I want to get it from Ireland or mainland Europe ideally so as not to be messing around with BREXIT shenanigans. It's on Currys website but no home delivery.

I suppose I could get it on E-Shop but I imagine it'd be a fairly large game.

Funny

BOTW is 10 times smaller install wise than other open world AAA games that came out at the same ish time and 10 times better

Still full price too! That's cause it's worth it!

Smyths might have it on cartridge or one of the EU Amazon sites. Maybe Argos. I'd get the cartridge. Digital is usually more expensive plus it's tied to your account.

Wonder will Nintendo start doing Switch Selects (discounted) soon ?
