Bought metroid prime but don't have enough space on my system to download it *cries* going to have to go looking for an ext. hard drive now.

Look on the bright side - it used to check your available space BEFORE it let you purchase, so you had to scrabble for a flash drive or a bunch of floppies and some very creative MacGuyver wiring before the sale deadline expired. At least you have it in the bag...

(confirm you have it in the bag, make sure you got your My Nintendo points or that it's listed as a redownloadable purchase)

Hyrule warriors for 3DS is £14.83 at amazon

Seemingly it's unplayable on the standard 3DS but runs ok on the "new" 3DS

Yoink. Works out at €26 delivered, which isn't far off half price compared to buying from a shop here. No interest in the game at all, but you can't have a complete Zelda collection with a missing game (cdi non canon abominations aside of course )

Does anyone own Hyrule Warriors on 3DS? I'm curious how good it is.

I played a little of it on the Wii U co-op, but it was physically taxing because "regular" attack is mapped to waggle, with no option to map it elsewhere.

I'd happily buy a port where I can just press goddamn buttons instead.

Decided to order it myself anyway, enjoyed the Wii U version, it can sit in the pile with my other as yet unplayed (3)DS games

I've played it on the Wii U Gamepad, where there is no waggling required.
It's a little boring at first, because the combos are very limited and simplistic so it's very repetitive, but after a while you get into a zen-like state where the combat is almost secondary to the character development (ie grinding) and sheer joy of wiping out literal thousands of bad guys. Apparently the n3DS performs as well as the Wii U, possibly with even more enemies on screen.

Man, you need a Pro Controller, or equivalent 3rd party controller!

I definitely have it, got the email from Nintendo when I bought it online and when I checked whether it had downloaded it just gave the option on I've eshop to "download" rather than "buy"! Just to get a usb Y-cable is the tricky thing now! To ebay I go!

Think I might pick it up along with Gravity Rush for ps4.

I'm not buying a dedicated controller for a game I have borrowed. I'd nearly prefer to buy it cheap on N3DS.

I had a crapton of Wii Classic Controller Pros lying around from my Monster Hunter Tri days, but bloody Hyrule Warriors doesn't allow those.

Pro controller (don't have), Gamepad (missus gets priority), or Wiimote and Nunchuk waggle fest only.

So how does that price for Hyrule Warriors 3DS compare to the price for the DLC you get for Wii U along with it, if you were to buy the Wii U DLC separately?

Lego Batman 2 - £6.95 + £2 delivery. Not bad.

The Legends character pack for Wii U alone will cost €11.99!

I really like Hyrule Warriors on 3DS. I have the New 3DS though.

Picked up Hyrule Warriors Legends myself there, thanks for the tip (as the actress said to the leper)

Might be an idea to go for it then. Though when I looked it up, I saw the collector's edition...

Good time to be buying games now with the Sterling so low.

As long as the Euro doesn't take a beating as well.
But, if our currency recovers and the pound doesn't then it'll be good times for importers!

Zelda Ocarina of Time is now down to 19.99 on the shop. With sterling down is there somewhere cheaper for it online?

The rest of the Nintendo Selects at the same price have launched too.

Has anybody ordered Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Fortissimo Edition online? And at a good price? Amazon and Nintendo UK when they had it in stock cost €85+ including delivery. I've been looking online and have found a load of sites selling it for €60 and €65. Trouble is they either don't ship to Ireland or it costs a bomb. There was one site where it's €58 but the shipping cost €36 which is bonkers. Not to mention using Google Translate has been a pain in the @R$€; with all the various languages. I've looked at Finnish, Swedish, Hungarian, Slovakian, Czech, Dutch, Belgian, German and Spanish sites.

I seen that yesterday on HUKD and was thinking why would anyone post that up? It works out at JUST under €12 which is how much it costs on the eShop.

CastorTroy

Would that code work, since I know there are problems using Euro and UK codes together

Wondering the same. I bought UK code before, and it didn't work, but this is for a specific game, it's not to add credit, so it might.

That's abou €33 now. Plus Addresspal €3.50 or Parcel motel. Still about €37. So less then €19 each.

It was cheap on thegamecollection.net recently, probably worthwhile keeping an eye on their price

That's the best retail price right now. But there has been better prices than that in the past.

Edit: Here is a bit cheaper.

http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/bossdeals/product/50937/

Then use Parcel Motel or AddressPal.
