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

Anyone seen cheap 3ds anywhere recently? Old or newer model. Fairly pricey still aren't they. Shame the new 2ds won't be out in time (for a birthday) as it looks excellent for the money.

New 3DS is €179 in Argos. I'm going to get one tomorrow rather than wait on the new 2ds.

Ultra Street Fighter for a slighly more respectable ?29.90 on Amazon France.

Binding of Isaac - Afterbirth for ?34.99 seems ok too.

My son, who plays probably more BoI than is healthy, says that the Switch edition is the best yet.
But then, I played the Vita version via PSTV and I can't see much of a difference!

I actually already bought the download version for Switch. Left me cold for a bit, but getting into it now and thought I should buy a physical copy as well!

I like, no, love twin stick shooters but I've not gotten into Binding of Isaac the way I thought I might.
The physical copy is very nice and ultimately a significant bit of videogame history that is tangible, not dissimilar to my 3DS copy of Cave Story.

34.99 for Binding of Issac? HAAA, just get it on pc for pennies.

And that's a bargain for those who want to play it on a Nintendo console how? Being in the Nintendo games/console bargain thread and all.

Girlfirend imported it in for me a few months back cost about 42 euros.

It's my must played switch game ....

Well worth the price if I had to pay for it.

On like your call of duty that's the same game every year for 60 euros this brings a great case of random where you don't know what your going to get every time you play it. You have to change a play style on the fly due to your power ups that you might gain.

To me anyone who is hateing on the switch does not have a clue and does not own one or used one. Anyone I know who has got a switch loves the thing.

Also can I play my mac on the bus ? No I can not but I can take out my switch and play it no problem and the fact when the switch is out people are allway's looking at it going omg that's the switch?. The games look amazing on it.

To me as long as it keeps selling the way it does we are going to get loads of great games for thr console.

To me this is what the vita should have been if Sony tryed to sell the thing to you and did not give up on it after 3 months....

A good roguelike is hard to overprice (within reason obviously). Has-been heroes is somewhere between decent and good and I'd consider it a bargain for 25.

RobbingBandit

Videogameplus.ca has a good few boxed switch games very unlikely to ever make it over here Canadian Dollar has dropped too vs the euro.

According to the BA forum, if you buy ?30 worth of voucher on Amazon you can get ?5 credit back to spend by August.

Or in other words, why not treat yourself to Fire Emblem : Echoes and... uh... I can't find a single thing in my basket for 3 quid! Ah well. Knock a 5er off the cost of a Celica Amiibo!

Another not quite nintendo bargain from Amazon, this time nicked from HUKD :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cell-Phone-Portable-Power-Bank-Chargers/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Powerful-PowerIQ-Technology/B00VJSGT2A?tag=ho01f-21
Anker PowerCore 20100 powerbank for 21.74 + delivery.

• This *will* charge a switch while playing Zelda, but very,very slowly. I have tested it personally. Output is 2.4A per port
• They don't ship outside mainland UK so you need to use An Post's Parcel-motel-a-like rather than PM themselves.
• Technically an Post don't deliver batteries either, but you know what else they don't do often? Turn a package over to see if there's a big feck off "this is a battery! Beware!" sticker on the bottom.

For Christ's sake - Hurry up and take your trip up north! Load the Banditmobile up with rock bottom bargains to sell on top boardsies at cost!

Skylanders Superchargers starter pack for Wii U - €7 in Smyths
https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/video-games-and-tablets/nintendo-wii-wii-u/wii-u-games/skylanders-superchargers-starter-pack-wii-u/p/145995

This comes with the Donkey Kong amiibo/skylander hybrid. It's as good a price as you'll get for DK as an amiibo in this country or online (apparently he's knocking around for €1 in some UK supermarkets) but he's in a yellow jumpsuit. Not a lot of stock but there's 1 in Tallaght and a couple in Navan. Sligo, as ever, is awash with stock.
