Wii U won't be nostalgically exceptional for about 10/15 years.

When it appears on the Arcade and Retro forum it'll be legit.

I'll be opening it though probably won't get time to play till the weekend. Chuffed to get it for €20.

Have got great deals on my Wii U which makes jumping to the switch seem even pricier. Got my Wii U premium for €139 and BOTW wild was the only game I payed full price for, all others were for way less then rrp. Paying €390 plus for a Switch and one game is nearly as much as I've spent on the Wii U plus 13 games.

Mine arrived too. It's sealed though the disc is sliding around in the case like a hotdog thrown down a hallway.

Ah that place used to be real exclusive at one stage warnings were given out about riff raff and the likes. *I'm never gonna let that go am I

Great bargain to be had with Astro Deluxe on the Switch down to around €8.50 or so.
A great party game.

Not bad. But you know it's only going to get lower and lower as we approach the inevitable release of the next one.

Don't pretend you haven't downloaded the Demo and done endless Whips and Nae-naes across your living room floor in your pants.

I'm at work so can't post it, but how could you post a Walk the Dinosaur video in a Nintendo forum and not use the version from the Super Mario movie?

im glad the link is blocked in work because I would have devastated, shame on you ciderman, if that is your real name

Lads I posted this on the DS thread but the new 3DS SNES is £179 on smyths.co.uk which is about €195 using Revolut, quite a bit cheaper than the €239 Smyth's are charging here.

Heads up. The 3DS XL SNES up on Nintendo store just now and they have switches back in stock...

Ok, back to our irregularly unscheduled bargains.

Such a sh1te film.
I was a wage earning adult at the time, and recalled the release of the film, the early previews and magazine articles clearly indicated just how awful that film was going to be.
The Roxette song only compounded the misery.
Was, not Was were too good for that film, enough to make you Shake your Head....

Also why does lvl 3 give 10 off?

Is GameStop Level 3 when they explain about how they have to charge more for games to unburden your mind off the screams of the angry souls of all the Gamstorians that Wotan murdered in a nuclear volcano six thousand years ago?

You been watching American Gods, that would be Vulcan, Wotan was too busy hanging around on a tree to have any volcanic fun, ah gamestop level three where you get to spend money to make money to keep the crooks open for business. Burn em all

Plus, it was Xenu that did the volcano murdering, on the orders of Tom Cruise.

You leave Lord Xenu out of this bet you're only OT4

As a level 5 lazer lotus I decry your lord Xenu, who shalt be smoten from the skys by Jehovah-1's holy fire.

Anyhoo, if you're on the lookout for Joy Cons and the exploitation of the weak pound, Grainger Games in the UK have the neon pink / yellow set for £58.99 + £4 delivery, works out around €68 at todays exchange rate. HUKD deal, follow the link from the deal because apparently they're a pain to find directly on the site.

Amazon do carry joycons for £65 but it's only the grey ones. Hey, you know what they do have though? Those boss Snes-colour replacement shells that the netzines were talking about 2 weeks ago! £15.99 + your delivery redirection service of choice 'cause they won't ship to Ireland.

On lightning deals today and Switch is listed on the compatible devices (good to know as it is a good bit thicker than standard tablets).
