    Argos also have pokemon sun/moon for 31.99. Not a bad price really.


  • Registered Users Posts: 99 ✭✭TweekeewT


    Argos are selling the metallic black New 3DS XL for €179.99. Not a lot of stock about, but I picked up one from Jervis today.

    Which stores though? Most Wii u games out of stock in smyths on the site

    Jervis literally had pre owned Smash Bros and Twilight Princess both for €35 each and Zombie U for €10 it is select games on offer, there was no list available blanch had one Wii U game in their basket this evening not sure what it was I was looking for Omega Ruby myself.

    Is this a good price? I was going to wait for the new 2DS but tempted by this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Zelda is over priced at €35 as it doesn't come with the amiibo, but if you buy 3 different €35 games you end up paying €23.33 each for them, well €23.34 for one. Might be worth a look at some of the other games available as I think it is across all formats but again only selected games.

    Good luck finding a store with one Twilight Princess, let alone 3 in the same store. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Jevis has one twilight princess and I said three different games not three of the same, these deals are always more complex than they should be, or I could just be Scar setting the trap for Mufasa with all you Wildebeast about to stampede for no reason other than taking out who is in my way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Whole lot of nothing in these reductions in smyths, ended up buying Pokemon Omega Ruby Mario Sonic Rio Olympics and Mario Golf 3d for €60 all in, wasn't a great deal but at least I've got some presents for family.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Fortissimo Edition is £55 on Amazon UK. That's roughly €66.50. I know it's not exactly a bargain but considering the game is hard to come by and was being scalped for well in excess of €100 at launch and for a long time after, then the price isn't bad. Plus it will increase in value with time.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tokyo-Mirage-Sessions-Fortissimo-Game/dp/B01EMXHM10/

    Edit: What's up with this site not recognising the Sterling symbol? I keep having to edit comments for it to work.

    Sorry just noticed that's the nicer one that has stuff. I had alerts set up I ended up getting the game itself for £35.
    It's on Base it's £37 if you want game only https://www.base.com/Games/Tokyo-Mirage-Sessions-FE-Nintendo-Wii-U/TOYMSWIIU/product.htm?awc=2694_1495194996_1ba48413f8505ac9cbfad235f54a9064

    Not sure maybe use gbp instead if you can't use sterling symbol

    Yeah I noticed that yesterday at around 4pm, ah well. Got it last month at a slightly higher price so it's still a decent price for a collector's edition.

    I saw a fairly cheap Wonderful 101 in Gamestop yesterday, it was 19.99 I think.
    It was in the Clarehall branch, at least I think it was.
    Sure, give them a ring, see if it's still there.
    Afaik it's one of those fairly short run titles that's bound to gain in value.

    That link redirects me to Amazon.com for some reason, where it's StarFox Zero + Guard for $35 - but it's definitely £4.99 on Amazon.co.uk if I look it up manually. Good spot!

    Surely at that price it's worth it just to ease your curiosity about whether or not it really is as bad as some people say?

    It's definitely worth £4.99 but the controls due take a lot of getting used to. There's a really good game in there but the control choice was a big error of judgement in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,397 ✭✭✭xckjoo



    Cheers for that. Been wanting to try it. Lylat Wars was one of my favorite N64 games.

    Got my order in. Showing as £13.99 now though. Could have been mispriced. I'll wait and see if they honor it.

    Argos are selling all individual amiibo for €9 each.

    http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?pp=Show+all&s=Relevance&storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&q=AMIIBO&authToken=

    I wonder if they're finally getting rid of them. They haven't had any new stock in a good while.

    Ssshh. Don't tell anyone but I reserved the Shovel Knight amiibo. Whether I buy it now is another story.
