Nintendo games/consoles bargain alert thread

According to my Skyrim addicted son, who also owns it on the PS3, the Switch version is amazing, pretty much his favourite and you can play it on the bus.

While I've not played it in a while, as other shiny things came up, Skyrim on Switch plays amazingly. I've gotten a good 20 hours plus into it, with no real issues (Hey, it is a Bethesda game!) - I've 100%ed it on both the PC and Xbox 360, but I'm still really enjoying it as a portable option on the Switch.

Skyrim on the Switch is the fourth time I've bought that game - Xbox, PC and Xbox One - and it's still the game that's eating up most of my time when it comes to single player. Even this time around I'm seeing stuff and finding quests that are new to me,

A small bargain maybe,

Maplin closing down, have the Switch listed for €296 online

The Easter Sale has started. Seem to be some decent bargains there but I'm not able to format a full list.

Got Axiom Verge for 5.35 with my gold points taken into account - some were gonna expire at the end of the month (I'm still pissed that we got so screwed on gold points)

Not surprised, absolutely insane prices
Friend of mine recently paid over 20 euro for the same usb Wi-Fi adaptor that you'd get for a euro online

This post has the prices from the German Store but also Metacritic scores for each game.

I'm thinking Axiom Verge, Blossom Tales and Steamworld Dig for less than €31. Good choices or would people recommend something different?

Fe for €12.99 looks like it would be worth it.

I thought that looked very like Ori and The Blind Forest but I thought I read in here someone got it and it wasn't great

89 cent for "no Thing" on Switch in the SA store m8s

Reviews I saw sung between a 6ish to an 8ish. I liked the art style but wasn't sure it was worth it. At that price I will give it a go though.

Owlboy any use?

Just got Fé myself. With my gold coins i got it for just over €8. Probably wouldn't have got it at €20 but for that price it's worth a shot. Reviews have ranged from decent to good online.

Do let us know how it goes 😀

Mr E

Used my Irish gold coins to get Super One More Jump for free.
Used my SA gold coins to get Axiom Verge for about €7.

Asus X540L

I deposited 100 Rand (~6.50) and got No Thing, You Sir The Insult Simulator, and Kamiko, with coins and money left over.

sligeach

Bought Axiom Verge off the Russian Wii U eShop for exactly €3. An absolute bargain.

chrislad

I'm hovering over either getting Blossom Tales with my coins, or going for Steamworld Dig (I've already finished it three times but love it), and Serial Cleaner. Decisions.

Star Lord

Got Blossom Tales myself, really enjoying it so far!

Looking to pick up a physical copy of Doom for the Switch. No joy in city centre shops in Dublin, gamecard only on Amazon. Any recommendations for other online sellers?

Terraformer has it if you check the swap thread

Played Fé for an hour or so this evening. It feels like a 3D Ori game. Which is no bad thing.
Not having the ability to attack takes getting used to. So far i like it. But only scratched the surface yet.
Review in progress

Gonzo

bought the original Steamworld Dig for 4.99, less than the cost of a decent pint.

Really enjoyed Steamworld Dig 2 except for the final boss.

I’ve heard some great things about Steamworld Dig 2; might pick up the first one and give it a shot.

I got Skyrim (again) yesterday. Thanks CiDeRmAn, chrislad, and super_furry for convincing me! Think it’s the third time I’ve bought it! I’ve only played it in handheld mode so far. You can see the graphical detail is on a lower level to the PS3 and HD remaster, but still it looks good. Amazing to think we can play such a great game on a handheld.

I enjoyed it. It's a physics platformer where part of the challenge is controlling your avatar. It really depends on if you're into those types of games, so maybe check a gameplay video first.
