I wish Cuphead had an easy mode.

If it had a Yoshi style "Mellow Mode" it would have been nice, but I suppose it's the point of the game, no more than Dark Souls or Super Meat Boy have more accessible modes.
But it is a pity that more people who buy the game won't enjoy much of the incredible art and music beyond the first level or two, especially children, and ham-fisted adults like me!

Yeah I'll remember to tell that to a child with learning difficulties and limited hand use.

Clearly a light hearted comment chief, no need to jump off the deep end there. The point of cup head is to be hard as nails after all. I wasn't a huge fan of the joy cons but I've grown to love the one in each hand method of use.

Probably would play well on the Switch Lite d-pad?

I'll get it later when it's around €5 or similar

Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Pokémon Sword version and Pokémon Shield version reduced to €35 in Smyths. Limited stock around the country.

Meant to be a good cheaper alternative to the Pro Controller. Lacks NFC, HD Rumble, and a rechargeable battery (uses AAs instead).

A few games for Switch for €11.99 or 2 for €19 in Argos.

As far as I know Cuphead hasn't dropped below €15 ever since it came out on the Xbox One.

Still hasn't dropped below €15 though. I think it has only dropped lower than that on Steam.

well like I mean, after I shifted a load off my backlog, it'll probably be a while before I get it and it will likely drop to that price sometime in between.

Would like to get Cuphead as a physical release. Come on Microsoft!

Disappointing, would have been tempted by James Pond, purely for nostalgia, remember playing the original on the Amiga, will wait till it's on a deal on the eShop.

Yeah that is a bit disappointing. I was looking at a few of them and hoping to reserve 2 tomorrow. Also can't find any store that stocks Assassin's creed III.

Mr E

I was having a look around Dekudeals to see if anything jumped out at me, and there are some good deals there (US store)

Civilisation VI - $19.93
Banner Saga Trilogy - $19.99
Starlink Starter Pack - $5.99
Death Squared - $1.49
Agent A: A puzzle in disguise - $2.99
All the steamworld games are discounted too.

Edit: Checked IE store - only Steamworld games are on sale.

blockfighter

Starlink is a great game. Well worth it at that price.

Just a heads up to people the GameStop 50% off 3ds games bought two games one boxed and the other with a printed label ....

Never said that when I bought the game ...

Not the 1st time this happened buying online from them before bought a new game had marks on the disc and finger prints haha.

Yep - same happened to me - got 4 games:
2 arrived with original inserts.
2 arrived with gamestop inserts.
Cheeky! And they were not exactly bargains either.
Might ask for refund or replacement or just print out the covers myself.

CastorTroy

Reminds me of this great birthday offer they sent me

Print this coupon and bring it along with your Level 2 GameStop+ card to your local GameStop store and get 20% off the cheapest game when you buy 2 games. Can not be combined with other promotions or offer. One use only. Not transferable. No cash alternative

Available on Pre-Owned items only

I opened a Claim myself on PayPal saying the games where not what they where post to be ex not the proper boxes and not the proper labels added a photo and it’s up to GameStop to come back on this now.

Grumpypants

Been through that before, they ignored emails for weeks until I logged a claim with Paypal. Next day I got an email asking to cancel the claim so they can help resolve the issue.

I said no. Sent back the defective item and Paypal refunded me.

I, too, received two games from Gamestop this week; one unopened, the other opened. I was a bit peed off about it as they were described as new on the website but was not too bothered about getting in touch with them as it only cost €10. However, seeing that others also had trouble with their orders spurred me on and I've just sent off a message to Gamestop support to see what they have to say about it. I'm not expecting much (if anything) anyway!

tbahh

In contrast to my last post, Gamestop has an offer of 4 used games for €20. The games are mostly PS3 and X360 but there are some 3DS and Wii U (remember that one?) games too. I was tempted to buy BotW (Wii U version) even though I already have my own copy. In the end, I got Super Mario Maker for 3DS, Hey! Pikmin, Mario Sports Superstars and Detective Pikachu (this is the one I was mostly interested in). Anyways, it's a fiver a-piece but I'll wait til I receive them to cast my final judgement.

BOTW and Detective Pikachu sold out now unfortunately, but still picked up 12 games to bulk out the collection! Hopefully they come with their sleeves but if not, I'll just print up new ones. Some proper bargains to be had in there.

Ordered BOTW last night but not dispatched today and no explanation. Hopefully be a second delivery

nintendoo

Had a look at what's left 3ds wise. Have the ones I want, and not interested in the others. So, I'll leave it. There are some good items there like Smash, Mario Maker, Mario 3d land, Animal crossing, Wario ware gold, monster hunter ...

Smyths are selling the labo Vr kit (kit 04) for €15. Is that a good deal?

It seems to be sets from within the set. Is it?
and look to be Out of stock anywhere I have checked.

The_B_Man

I'm looking at about 10 of them in the clearance bin in Smyths Tallaght here..

ERG89

It seems shops want to clear the 3DS & Labo stock.

I haven't picked up any 3DS games as I just can't see myself going back to play stuff like Miitopia, Monster Hunter or even stuff I like such as Warioware. I have 50+ DS games that I never go back to play other than 7 or 8 of them. ,

nintendoo

3ds: got a few stragglers ... Got new super mario 2 recently since I always enjoy these games. I know it's not the best. But still.
Also kid Icarus ... mainly cause it gets great reviews ... we shall see. Tomadachi life for the kids. Mario and Luigi superstar saga as it's supposed to be the best game in the series, so I want to give this series one more try.
( These were 10 - 20 quid, not the 5 euro offers )

I think if you like JRPGs / grindy games..
there is a lot on 3ds. I don't so ... I think my 3ds "collection" is done.

... Unless I see a cheap majoras mask or Samus returns

After seeing AVGN's take on Majora's Mask, I'm gonna give that one a miss

Especially since the 3DS remake went on to fix a lot of the criticism thrown at the original n64 release. I was always put off by the time-management element but played the 3DS release last Summer and fell in love with the deal. Never really played anything quite like it.

Played on a pc emulator before.
Gave up after a while. Was just too intense.
So, you can save more often or ???

It's 40 stg new on amazon.co.uk.left.the.eu at the moment. Which is not a bargain. So off topic.

Nicetrustedcup

Picked up

Kid iccress, new super mario bro’s 2 , Pokemon sun and pikman 3ds for 20 euros

Now will I get all three games who knows, will they have proper boxes who knows

SMC92Ian

Why don't people just crack their 3DS? I bought one off Adverts years ago and it's the best thing ever.

Anyone know the best place to pick up Mario Sonic 2020? I just can't stomach paying full price for something like that. Only interested in the Rugby mode.

I had a cracked 3ds before well one you needed a magic cart for and being honest I don’t value games if I do it that way and also I love haveing a large collection of games to look at,

Also the fact must of these games are only 5 euro now that’s less then a gin and tonic ha

Got a few phone calls from stores about my orders yesterday for games with no boxes, to see if I still wanted them. Took them anyway as I'm happy to print my own sleeves.

Then this wouldn't be the bargain alert thread ... It'd be the "how to steal stuff" thread or "I like advertisements in games" thread or "how to ensure the industry moves to a streaming model" thread or "don't let you kids do game design or programming cause someone will steal their work and they won't get paid" thread.
