Bluetooth adaptor for the dock for about €10.20 delivered using the code UGREEN28 at checkout.

Can be used to allow bluetooth headphones/speakers for sound. Picked one up for my Skull & co dock as my office monitor has no speakers, so can use a Bluetooth speaker for sound now!

Edit: only this price if you have Prime.

Ah yes it was Odyssey that's it, so a game that plays like that I'd want.

I get that collection so, I hated Mario Maker.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if you disliked SM64, Sunshine, Galaxy - and Mario Maker which is essentially every version of Mario that came before that - video games may not be for you.

I have disowned children for less egregious statements. And I'd do it again.

So you didn’t even play them? Just watched a review, great logic.

I watched plenty of reviews, no I won't play them as they haven't been updated. I assumed they'd have gotten the Crash, Spyro treatment but no Nintendo release 3 roms basically.

I was asked something, I replied. Calm down.

That 3 pack was €41 in Argos if anyone was looking for me to post a bargain.

No harm in sharing your opinion, the mod note came due to another poster repeatedly using this point and negatively commenting about the 3d collection on it's dedicated thread. Basically decided because he didn't like it no one else was allowed to.

I never said that at all and that is quite simply an untrue statement.

I did offer the opinion that it was a cash-grab with minimal effort put in and that more effort had been put in by the amateur modding scene to update some of the obvious flaws in the very dated software e.g. Mario 64 camera etc

sad to see Nintendo continuing this trend of being as greedy as they think that they can get away with - case in point Skyward Sword

they haven't released any new top-shelf original IP in ages and ages and are obviously saving that to push and establish the switch refresh hardware.

because they had a disaster and loss-making years with the Wii U they are seeking to milk consumers when then can

Hard West reduced again on eshop under €2 tried to get the special edition in GAME late last year no luck, looks a weirdly entertaining but very difficult wild west strategy game think I'll get it this time for the price it's at.

There is no arguing with the moderators decision, feel free to check the terms and conditions of posting on Boards.ie
I made the position pretty clear, if it is a problem then you are free not to post here.
If it is an issue that you insist on disagreeing on thread then a warning/infraction/ban may result.

And, if it really needs to be said, the issue of the value or otherwise of the 3D Allstars collection was well aired on the appropriate thread already and was ended, as it was getting heated.
I don't want it reopened, by anyone.


Back to the bargains, please.

The real question if it's worth Owning a 2nd Sealed copy due to it being discounted or not?

Or at least have a spare it for a friend new to the switch in 2021\2022. 37 stg ain't too bad like it's still on Amazon UK.

They surely have them moved to ONline+ service or eshop dividually after this at 20e a pop. A Win-win for those who wanted just Galaxy or 64 etc.

Eitherway 41e is a bargain, its so nice being able to play Sunshine in Widescreen along with M64 and Galaxy. Glad to have them warts and all.

Shop4.ie sent me an email for Mario Day. (Mar10 sigh...).

Xenoblade chronicles and fire emblem three houses are 40 quid Amazon Angela Merkel, not including postage of about a fiver. Get both and save on postage. Or throw in something else to reduce that fiver.

I'd get them except I can't handle these kinds of games. Maybe a decent demo would help.

Paper Mario and 3d world Switch , 36 and 40 quid on Amazon Germany. 5 quid delivery ... So you you eg buy a game you really don't want to get 3d world cheaper and split the postage ...

Also xenoblade chronicles and fire emblem switch 40 quid ...

Not too shabby.

Hades physical ... 30 quid

Unsure if it's a bargain but got for Cadence of Hyrule cart version for around €19.30 delivered (prime) last night on amazon.co.uk. Seems to be over the €30 mark in other places.

I don't get the code in a box thing. It's once off .... i.e. once it's used it can't be sold on / swapped ???

Super cheap to "manufacture". That's why. And it prevents swapping as you say.

Hmm. I've had an eye on the Rebel Collection because I wouldn't mind trying Black Flag but tbh if it's code-in-a-box pish I'll just pick up a second hand copy for the PS3, I think I can stretch to the £5 it'll cost...

Have Black Flag on the Wii U. The bringing it into work aspect makes it worth it for me. 17.99 sterling on Amazon. It was 24.99 euro in the eshop sale so, this is better value, and I have a nice spare case should I need it. /Glass half full.

Not quite, those are not quite the same quality. Still. They could throw a few freebies, even for a limited time on switch online.

If you have an official charger then you have more options. Think it's the power supply that decides the fate of your switch. Just make sure whatever your getting won't brick your switch.

Genki dock/charger supposed to be safe.

This controller is on Aliexpress for €10.98 + €1.38 shipping. I have seen a similar one on amazon for a lot more (I think around €30).

I have one of those, I've had to calibrate the right stick a couple of times and give it a spray with contact cleaner because it was barely registering UP movement. Also connection dropped a couple of times initially but has been fine the last few weeks though and charge seems to last a fair while (haven't timed it though).

Pretty happy for what it cost (I think I got it for about a tenner posted but so many sellers to pick from).

have one

never had any issues with it over a year +

it's actually decent enough and especially for the money

will also function with a pc / laptop if connected to same by usb

recognised and works as an xbox 360 controller in that case

But have you replaced any of the sticks yet?!

Just kidding.

I can also confirm it works via usb on PC. I have a similar switch controller I use with my PC and it charges while playing too.

seems like this 10 dollar controller uses a better quality joystick than the 80 euro joycons...
