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.

pcadhain · 23-01-2021 10:44pm

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

I've only ordered one thing for delivery off Smyths. Age of Calamity. Had it pre ordered. Arrived 12 days late. Just a heads up. They gave me a full refund though and got to keep the game.

Panzer Dragoon Remake is down to €6.24 on the eShop. Anyone played the remake? Just wondering if it's worth it at that price

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.

Thanks, got this game for PS4 on PS now and loved it. I started all over again during the free trial, great fun going back to it.

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.

I haven't compared this price anywhere other than amazon UK where it is £13.17 before shipping
The HORI Compact Stand - Zelda Edition for Nintendo Switch is €8.49 + €3 shipping to Ireland
Comes in at €11.49 delivered.
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01A9UATJC/
The listing is a different product but Zoverstock is the German name for MusicMagpie. Delivery isn't quick (Feb 10 - March 1st expected).

EDIT
Forgot to mention that State of Mind is on sale for €3.99 or €2.88 for anyone in South Africa

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.
