Anyone seen any decent Wii U deals? Never picked one up and have been considering it for Wind Waker and Bayonetta 2.

There hasn't been any good Wii U deals in ages. Be it for console or games. I see some retailers are visibly winding down their Wii U section, most notably TheGameCollection. They've 6 games left in stock and were at one point close to the biggest and best stockist of Wii U games.

Got a Zelda one for €150 a while back but it is still in the bag I bought it in it has been turned on once to see that it worked, might stick it on adverts soon as I don't think I can use it due to my sight issues.

Well if you're looking to get rid of it and you're in Dublin, give me a shout and I'd gladly give you what you paid for it.

Might be worth going to Smyths and such?

Any sign of the nes mini being available in a bricks and mortar store like Smyths/argos/Gamestop this time of Christmas?

None in Gamestop or Symths before christmas probably. Argos said they'd probably get stock next week.

You are right. They plug into a Wii Remot. So will work with the Nes Mini. And work with Smash Bros. Double win.

For 15 lids. That's not too bad.

I have both. The cheaper one is decent enough for €15 but it doesn't have the rumble feature.

I have the Hori one. The ones Gamestop do are different afaik, both joysticks are the same on it whereas the Hori one has the c-stick.

Yeah, this stick has a standard sized analogue stick where the c-stick should live.
No harm, I've plenty of normal GC pads, as well as a Wavebird.

Pre ordered the NES Classic Mini the moment it was available on their website. That was 14th July. They never sent it out last Friday, didn't bother to contact me and when I asked them about it they said they've no idea when it's going to be back in stock.



Yep, similar situation. Any time I contact them I get pretty much the same generic e-mail with no date of when it'll ship.

ah crap
another for the support group

Is that the new 3DS XL or the regular XL? new one is €195 here.

Amazon.de are sound for delivery, probably a week and a half.

Use flubit for a bigger discount

Gizmo55

I checked the French price with delivery, it's €182.45 delivered to your address arriving between the 26th and 29th Nov. It's about €10 dearer if you use one day delivery.

Just picked up Story of Seasons for €20 in Smyths. Have been very close to buying that at full price a few times, very glad I waited now!

dubmick

quick question, are 3ds bought in the US compatible with games purchased here?

No, they're locked to a specific region I think.

Hadn't realised that, not often I wander into Smyths for a browse. I'll let you know how I get on with it.
