Did I miss something?

Was up in belfast today seen a few amiibos in GAME for £10/12 I haven't seen in a while. Shiek and Shovel knight . No Sonic or Megaman sadly. Also couldn't preorder Pokken for some reason. Online only.

Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival (Nintendo Wii U) the bundle with 2 amiibo and 3 amiibo cards is £20 on GraingerGames. Don't think they deliver to Ireland so add another €4 for Parcel Motel. Still under €30 all in. Thinking about buying it myself despite its awfulness.

Isn't it expensive to go to Belfast? 24 Euro by bus, 40 Euro by train. Kind of defeats the purpose of bargain-hunting, doesn't it?

GAME in Belfast aren't getting many copies of Pokken Tournament in, due to concerns over new releases not selling that well. There have been a few PS4 releases in the last few weeks that they didn't stock because not enough people are going in and asking about them in advance.

Starfox First Print Edition pre-orders now open, but nothing on the UK sites from what I can see: http://i.imgur.com/DBzlyWO.jpg

Shows up on Benelux sites though: € 59.99 on GameMania. At that price, might be worth popping in to the local store to grab one

Fantastic tip! I bought 2 because it worked out cheaper than buying a second fit meter for my boyfriend lol
Also, we did buy a wii fit board from CEX, we checked online and it said our local CEX had 8 in stock, when we got there the guy said they had none and we insisted they go check because their site said they did, at which point they found a stack at the back of the shop, just incase anyone else is told there are none, worth double checking.

Probably should have waited but I ordered it. I think it will go down to £10 eventually.

MilesMorales1

Its a good price, but I'm determined to not just buy things cos they're cheap if I wouldn't enjoy them, so I'll give this one a miss.

sligeach

I most likely won't open it but it's another one for the collection if nothing else. Just checked my bank account, it's €23, hhmmm, impulse buying, feck it.

€51.79 isn't really a "bargain" imho?

That's more like it!

This is the kinda pricing I'd expect to see in Nintendo bargain alerts!
(carrying on from my previous posts about how it was odd the high priced items were considered bargains)

€52 is cheaper than many other places (€65 in Smyths) - More of an 'option to look at before you buy' if you want. It's ~ €52 on Amazon UK but don't deliver to Ireland.

Devil's third has been down that price more often than not. I bought it at £12. - But don't get me wrong, it's still a great price.

I think it's okay to post them when they're available at a lower price for anyone that may have missed it the first/second time etc.


Base.com have some of the Wii U selects down to £15.99 and some of the 3DS Selects at £14.99

Ah right, I thought it might have dropped from £45 or something for a while.

So do we ever get 75 or 80% off titles as we do with Steam sales / Xbox Deals with Gold? (and then it shoots back up to 100% the following week)

I don't think this thread has some sort of draconian rule of what does or doesn't constitute a bargain.
A copy of anything for €10 less than normal is something many might want to hear about.
Apparently Gameseek have TP:HD for €50, but I don't know what the postage might be.

I guess my point is that I haven't yet seen a posting about a huge 50 or 80% off newish titles, so just curious if the best bargain we can expect from Nintendo tends to be a few euro off.

There have been some savage bargains in terms of Xenoblade Chronicles and it's sequel over the past month or two.
Also, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D got a great discount.
They do pop up from time to time, but you're right, Nintendo bargains can be a slight thing, as well as rare, particularly in terms of more recent releases.

Was it not €5? Reckon we will the likes of that again with Tesco. Most stores have a good few Nintendo titles sitting there and some even have WiiU stuff.

Tesco has final fantasy 3 DS sitting in there for going on 7 years now, still priced at 44.99 :mad:

Mario tennis 3d marked 5 euro on the shelf, 1c at the till. Truly those were the golden days.

I don't think we'll see it again - the tend not to overprovision like they used to, except maybe on Lego and monster high dolls. Sure they're still trying to move umpteen copies if Stop Smoking DS, that Guitar playing app and all sorts of Imagine games 2 years later.

I remember hearing about that sale and seeing Super Mario 3D Land for a tenner, had to pick it up even though I didn't have a 3DS at the time. Turned out to be a very expensive sale for me! :pac:
