Hope it’s alright to ask here, but does anyone know of any stand out deals for the Switch Console?

Don’t mind buying in store or online!

Which one: the old model? the new one? the lite version?

Apologies, that was an oversight on my behalf not including that vital piece of information :pac:

Looking for the New Version of the Switch!

I was in Tesco last night and spotted this offer. Cheapest I've seen it.
Original Switch, not the refreshed redbox version.

There's really no major difference between the Switch 1.0 and 1.1, bar the battery and slightly improved loading times (and this is very slight) - at 100e difference with the offer below, going for 1.0 would be my option.

It really depends on if you're planning to be primarily docked or portable. I updated to 1.1, but I am 99% portable and travel a bit.

I've two large enough tescos within driving distance of me, I must give them a call today to see if they've these in stock!

While I'm not entirely sure, I'd imagine it will be used mostly docked with some travelling so saving that 100€ for games would be sweet!

Plus potential homebrew (as 1.0 is "hackable") - https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/user_guide/getting_started/
If you don't mind that, then, the price is good. I'd appreciate if you want to share if your local tesco had that version so I might pick one up

Mega Man 11 is 15 quid according to my deku deals notification.

Is it any good ?

Also you can put your wishlist on deku deals and get notified of sales ...

Fe is €4.99 and Unravel 2 is €7.99 (sale ends today)

Anyone played either of those?

Played Fe. Didn't enjoy it. Very forgettable. Played the first Unravelled game and was a fan. Heard good things about the sequel but haven't played.

Really liked Unravel 2, a very relaxing experience.

Perfect for a commute to work, and well worth the money

Grumpypants

Unravel 2 is great, co-op is great fun. As is single player. For that money well worth it.

Fe not so much, lost interest very quickly.

Suckit

Bought Unravel 2
Thank you all

Wolverine359

Has anyone played Cities: Skylines? It’s discounted on the eShop until Jan 9 for €15.99 (a generous 60% saving on the €39.99 RRP). I think it might have some technical flaws but for that price it seems worth buying.

Just checked the trailer video for Unravel Two. Needless to say, I didn’t delay in pressing that “Proceed to purchase” button. Looks wonderful, can’t wait to try it.

Had it on the wish list so jumped the other day when I saw the price reduction, it’s pretty good & probably worth the €15-odd. I’ve just been messing around in it mostly so far but I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff cut back in it & there is a definite slow-down in the game where I am now. Population has reached about 15000 (which isn’t massive!) & anything I do now gives a little stutter & music pause. Still a nice game for the €15 though!

Where is the best place to buy Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Got a switch for Christmas need to kit it out now. Also any good suggestions for SD Cards.

Thanks

I bought it for €40 a while back and thought it was good value at that. So impressive what they can do in the cities. They get huge. I really enjoyed it anyway. It can be a small bit fiddly, and i'd have loved touch controls but otherwise lots of fun.

You have me thinking about it again i must boot it back up

Impossible lair is really good and good vakue. Started it but ... It's now on my backlog. Takes ages to start up. I thought it'd crashed. But loading times are fine after that.

Not as good as the Tesco deal but Argos have a sae on Switch consoles ATM for €265 (or 287 with a £30 eshop credit)

Got Unravel 2 also on Monday - it's a great game.

Me and my son are about half way through it.

The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors for Switch - £14.95 (£2 post to Ireland) on The Game Collection.

https://www.thegamecollection.net/the-ninja-saviours-return-of-the-warriors-switch/?sqr=ninja%20sav&

Lowest price it's been by far. Amazon have it for £24.30.

Great game.

Grim Fandango Remastered for the Switch is €3.25

I have been looking to buy a switch the last week and cannot find them anywhere! Thanks so much for posting, will check out a few tescos in Galway to see if they have them.

Any other shops you think might sell them that would not be obvious?
I have tried Smyths, Argos, Gamestop (Only used), Currys and littlewoods but they are all out of stock.

I don't mind getting the 1.0 or 1.1.

Thanks again!

Following up on this, the only large stores near me were Maynooth and Liffey Valley

Maynooth had this Switch in stock but it was 329.99
Liffey Valley apparently don't carry items like the Switch

It's a LONG time since I've hopped on something so quickly. My Gold points brought this down to €1.72 also, absolute bargain.

Aladdin and Lion King back up to €34.99 still taking €5 off for click and collect, not worth €30 but just a heads up if anyone was thinking of going for it.

Bought this for me little one. Greatest load of ****e of a game.

Is it worth bringing into GameStop and trying to trade it

It's worth 50% vs a preorder(€30-35) or €18 trade in GameStop atm.

Has anyone bought from the Argentinian eshop? They have some very cheap games there at the moment. Was wondering what payment option people use

Links awakening is 36 stg on Amazon UK which is about 42 euro. This is the cheapest I've seen it physical. And at bit closer to what it's actually worth

Also astral chain at 38 stg.

I saw all the 3ds games in Smyths Carrickmines with sold out stickers on them.

Et Tu Argos ?

Really advise 3ds fans to grab those Nintendo selects etc while they are still cheap and around.

I want a link between worlds on switch !

Managed to pick up a few bargains in my localish Argos. Lucky enough to get last copy of Bravely Second Deluxe for 5.99. Looked online and seen the price its selling for and quickly decided to never ever open it

Picked up a few games to trade to CeX so all in I got Bravely Second Deluxe, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for around 3 euro

mrcheez

Nice! I don't even have a 3DS, but I'd buy that Collector's Edition for the statue/book and sell the game in Cex for €11

Damn couldn't even get Mario Luigi or Fire Emblem myself

I tried checking the Argos website...gave up. Total mess.

I think there is a stock checker for argos Ireland for chrome. I am not 100% about that, I think I remember seeing one, but it may also be written by Witnessmenow, so may no longer work also.

There are three.

I couldn't check it myself. Thought they may have been something like that, but thought there was one that was pointing to argos or was not linking to checkargos.

All those options stopped working for me a long time ago.
