Last few times I have ordered from them it took ages, 2 - 3 weeks.
I think they ship them in from China to Switzerland and then ship from Switzerland. They also have offices in Jersey so they ship from outside of the EU either way, which may be why items/batteries are being refused.
You could try amazon spain or Germany?

It's a year or two since I last used them, but I never had any problem with them. I thought they delivered direct, can't remember that far back.

I'll try Parcel Wizard and see what happens

I ordered two banks from them, but they never arrived (They did give me a refund after the second attempt) - I was able to get one in CEX, but I think your best bet is probably just getting it in Argos or the likes (or duty free, Heathrow had a decent select last time I was passing through T5)

Switch: top 21 games in Japan and then most of the rest of the top 30.

Really, Nintendo are killing it at the moment.

Maybe one of the best promos I've ever seen from Nintendo. Budget must have been insane for it.

No opening date though? Just "summer".

Like a lot of game trailers it doesn't actually show you much of what you actually get to do.

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD REPORTEDLY COST OVER 500 MILLION DOLLARS TO CREATE

Some new AC screenshots for the AC fans in your life.
I think this will be huge on Switch.
You'll have all the existing fans, plus people new to Nintendo games who've switched (e.g. look how well Luigi Mansion did).
Also, it's a first party Nintendo game and they've postponed it to make it great.

Now, surely to God they can add cloud saves for this. Or maybe they don't care since Pokemon got away with no cloud saves ...

Court reverses $10.1 million judgement against Nintendo in Wii patent case

Don't mess with Ninty's lawyers.

Nintendo wins court case against Germany and Norway, inability to cancel eShop pre-orders deemed legal

https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-wins-court-case-against-germany-and-norway-inability-to-cancel-eshop-pre-orders-deemed-legal/

I don't know how Nintendo won this case. It's a really $h1tty practise by them, it's anti-consumer and to think that Nintendo would actually fight against it. They do a lot of good, but this is plain wrong. The decision has been appealed, though that gives Nintendo up to another 18 months or so to carry on as is.

Agree. Unbelievable that you can't cancel a pre order !!

I think Nintendo are just fighting for their right to teach a very important lesson, preordering is dumb, if you do it, no refund is the consequence

Any tips for buttons that stick and make a loud clicking noise? The Y button does this on my Switch and it's pretty annoying. Thanks

Was just looking through the winners from the festive calendar giveaway

At least we know Ireland wasn't ignored. Though only 1 winner

I forgot about really. I think I only entered on maybe 2 of the days. Sure with my luck it wouldn't make a difference if I entered every day and used my different accounts.

I must be blind. My excuse is I was just awake so didn't think to do a search.

Are Nintendo 3ds selects over ?
Would like to get Majora's Mask ...
But not at the 40 quid plus stg prices.
It's a select in the US.
Might just get it second hand.

In other news, Amazon UK has a new wind waker Wii U for 999.99 sterling ...

Are the nintendo switch 3rd party docks a definite no-go, or are there any that are good?
I saw them in Germany for €30, but here I can only see prices close to €100 :eek: Should have bought there but I didn't expect the big price difference (or that I would end up wanting one).

I've used them with no problems whatsoever - this is one I currently have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07YXRC7LQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks, I thought they were dodgy, or incompatible and caused it to blow?

Or is that just the charging stations?

There were some scares with cheap ones at the start I think - best wait for some other feedback here to be sure, but I've not had any issues with mine ! (I'm using a decent power supply though)
