Wii U never really went on sale in shops aside from fire sale or slight knockdowns, Nintendo don't do hardware sales.

Summer sale up now. See the Reddit Thread below to a short list

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/922cij/switch_summer_sale_now_live_in_the_uk/

Link to full sale below but it's to the UK store so prices are a bit off but discount is correct.

https://psprices.com/region-gb/discounts/?platform=Switch&display=table&sort=date&page=1

Some highlights

South Park down to €36
Puyo Puyo Tetris down to €20
Super Meat Boy down to €7.80
Furi down to €12

Edit: Mario and Rabbids is showing as €40 and no discount. I thought that was a €60 game?

Need for Speed Most Wanted for Wii U €12 in CEX.

https://ie.webuy.com/product-detail?id=5030930109813&categoryName=wii-u-software&superCatName=gaming&title=need-for-speed-most-wanted-12.

Very good price for this, has become an uncommon game and certainly won't get it for cheaper on ebay etc.

So what you're saying is, you could buy those from CeX and sell for a profit on eBay?

Perish the thought!

I got Bravely Default last night in CeX for €25 thought it was a misprice. I sold my copy last year when my eyes were bad they're in better shape now so I think I might give it a go I still have the Bravely Second limited edition sealed I got from one of the lads on here 18 months ago.

Tldr: Bravely Default is €25 in CeX very limited stock about but keep an eye out.

There's one in Tullamore!

Resident Evil: Revelations down to €9.49 on the Australian eshop.

RobbingBandit

€38 for Breath of the Wild on Wii U in CeX Mario Kart for Wii U was €15 too

RobbingBandit

Wii U console Black boxes down to €120 in CeX few around so €158 for Wii U and Breath of the Wild damn I might have to go for that

I'm constantly tempted to buy a Wii U for the games I missed but I figure the best will probably come to the Switch eventually.

LA Noire is €23 in Argos.

Bunch of other stuff too - the WWE game, Lego marvel (normal and deluxe), Xenoblade is back down to its misprice level. Possibly the NBA game, I was flicking through quickly, that might have been on PS4

I see both Resident Evil Revelations games are reduced in the sale. What's the consensus on which is the better game?

I personally preferred the story of Revelations 1, but Revelations 2 is still very good. The Raid mode in Revelations 2 is much much better though, so based on that, I'd go for both of them (if I had to choose one, I'd go for the second)

If you buy one you get a discount on the second. Might be cheap enough to buy both seeing as they're on sale and then the extra discount.

I don't know if that applies to the sale price as well though.

Picked up Resident Evil Revelations from Russia eshop tonight was 779RUB (€10.70).

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is now available to me at 959RUB (€13.16) down from 1599 RUB.

Yokus island express is 25 in Smyth's. Still seems expensive, possibly because that's where the PS4 and Xbone versions started before dropping to about half that. But c'est let switch.
It's only about 17 on eshop

CiDeRmAn

I have it and it's a lot of fun, though my meagre noggin has trouble keeping track of where I should be going next!

FWIW, I love it. Must get back and finish it.

Gamestop are selling used Snes Minis for €55 with free shipping. I don't know if its a big bargain but it seems to be cheaper than other places.

Kinda like my weekdays really, though I work here, Monday to Friday...



When I hit the start button, I get the map screen

Well in fairness to you Cidey, the Joker hasn't broken out and murdered loads of people in ages so you're probably doing a bang up job.

BTW, Shopto (who had South Park FBW for £22 last week, and possibly still do) have the gold version of Mario + Rabbids with the DK pass (£12 street value!) for £35 quid. I stole the idea from HUKD but Ize seens it wiv me own eyezez!

It does make playing the likes of Silent Hill 2 more interesting, isn't that getting a Switch release, when it reminds one of work...
