Nintendo mugs on Zavvi - BOGOF. Some great mugs there (once you get past the awful Christmas ones near the top of the list)

Puyo Puyo Tetris down to E31.99 in Argos.

I'd say Puyo Puyo Tetris will go lower. It was overpriced in the first place in my opinion. They're releasing this double pack on January 5th.

I don't think either can be called hits, and Sonic Forces better described as something that rhymes with "hit"

Really ties in with switch toilet gaming so.

Seems unfortunate for a great puzzle game to be associated with a seemingly awful Sonic game.

Yeah, I'm all for getting a copy of Tetris/PuyoPuyo at some point for the Switch, but not if it's ride along buddy is a turd.
Probably get the stand alone title along the way.

Feck the spoilt little brother is getting one of these for Christmas. Forgot about Black Friday. Anything on Adverts is the same price as in the shops.

Is that SD card still essential?

Not unless you are planning on downloading games, or going to play LA Noire. Will be useful to have the capacity though.

Wonder if they’ll have eshop drops as well...
Would be nice to have puyo digitally.
Regretting buying sonic forces now! (Well in general I guess :pac: )

Games are 3 for two on amazon.de Best value options I'd reckon are, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart and Splatoon. Works out at just under €36 each delivered.

Can't decide what to go for I have Mario Odyssey for €38 ordered last week due to ship today. I could cancel but I want the other bits on the order asap. I do want Mario kart not sure about splatoon though. Think I'd prefer Doom or Elder Scrolls. Kids would like Arms though.

Yea, I saw that as well. It's a good deal. I have Skyrim already, it is very well done, I'm playing it now. I would go for Mario Kart, if anybody wants to split. But not sure how practical it is to order and meet up.

I also have a Xenoblade 2 reserved in Dun Laoghaire. I reserved two. If anybody wants the code. I'm not sure I will pick it up. I still have the original on the Wii U and didn't really get into it. The game is good but requires a lot of time and it's not like Zelda - insofar as it's not so easy to play or follow.

Remember to look up the 8 euro bonus if you top up by 80 euro offer if you're using amazon.de. if you qualify, it's a handy bonus

Unfortunate I don't qualify assume because I topped up on uk site already. Would definitely tip me over the edge ordering!

Not sure I should be giving this game any promotion but I'll let people make up their own mind if they want to spend £30 on a game plus shipping that was free on mobile.

Gear.Club Unlimited (Nintendo Switch) Game

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Gear-Club-Unlimited-Nintendo-Switch-Game/322825067616

It's the cheapest price around, a lot of places don't have it. None of the Irish retailers are selling it. There's an Amazon listing of £30 but it says it'll ship in 1 to 2 months. The next price is £51. It's Metacritic review average score is 67%. So don't say you weren't warned.

Really only want Mario Kart myself if we can sort it. Most of the other games can probably be picked up as cheap down the line.

Do you need to use parcel motel for the amazon.de site to work and can you use the uk login details?

No just use uk details. No need to use parcel motel though like uk site it may work in your favour to use it sometimes.

Just in case anyone is thinking of it, you can mix and match between platforms. Looked at it last night but the prices of the games I wanted seemed way off. BoTW was €60 so negated any savings I made on MK8. Will have another look now to see if i see anything but would need to be getting them for a decent discount to make it worth it.

You'll also have Deutsch covers. That's a no-no for me.

Just checked Mario Kart is limited to one per order.

He posted here that he got one but promptly deleted it but I had quoted him saying he got one on the Black Friday.

I hope he enjoys it now though.

Why delete it?

I dunno. I suppose if your so anti-switch you don't want to back down on many of your viewpoints?
