    Even though there's a fair few duds amongst the 51 games, it's well worth it for that price.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Was really looking forward to it and bought it on day of release.

    Played it for an hour or two and I thought it a load of rubbish. They RUINED the bowling game.

    Sold it last week.

    We had it on a family holiday down to Kerry last year. Perfect for that, truly family oriented, there will be something for everyone from grandad to little kids.

    Has the Wii Sports element that Nintendo seem to have given up on for some reason despite maintaining the motion controls in the joy cons.

    Yep, can't understand why they are not creating a new Wii Sports. Bad name originally. Should have been called Nintendo Sports or something. Maybe they will resuscitate it and give it away free :) with the next Switch. Switch Sports.

    Amazon have their 30% off opened boxes. New Mario 3D world is there. Brings it down to around €31. It's €49.99 on Smyth's.

    Says it is opened and any videos may not work. But I assume the full game is on the cart.

    Pretty tempted to double dip at that price as I have the Wii U version already.

    Is there much added to the Switch one? I never played the original DLC anyways.

    Good! To makeup for my Nintendo Kick In The ***** price drop for Pikmin 3 in Smyths, for a game I've bought twice (also on Wii U) I'm going to play the hell out of this for FREE on GAMEPASS on XBox at 120 FPS ! :)

    Not really a bargain but a future bargain as you'll pay a lot more in the future but isn't today the last day to buy that Mario 3 pack?

    Get it while you can.

    On sale digitally until March 31st.
    On sale physically in the shops until stocks run out.
    I expect each constituent game will be released as standalone titles in the coming months.

    Not sure if this is a question for this thread (so apologies if not), but does anyone here know where I can pick up a copy of Twilight Princess for the Gamecube at a decent price? I've looked on eBay and it seems to be going for €100+ and I was hoping to get a second hand copy for cheaper.
    Ashamed to say that I've never played TP, and want to give it a go, but not comfortable paying €100+ for a 15 year old game..

    Was released on Wii U if you have that, or if you wait, it may be released on Switch as part of Zelda's 35th anniversary


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I found mine on CEX, which was handy, as they deliver.
    I see they don't have it in stock at present and, even if they did, it runs at €95!

    Of course, the cheapest way right now is to simply get the Wii version, which is near identical.
    And, for the price of the GC version you can own that Wii version and a Wii to play it on!

    Twilight Princess for the Wii, €12.50 posted
    And
    And a Wii for €50, though in fairness people are throwing these things away, so you could get it for free

    Cheers, was thinking of holding-out on the chance that Nintendo will do a Super Mario 3D All Stars equivalent for Zelda. But the upcoming Easter break and lack of options due to a global pandemic may see me splash out rather than waiting! :pac:

    Thanks I was actually looking on CEX earlier. A bit mad that the GC version is so expensive compared to the Wii version, but I suppose it's a lot rarer. I think I'll keep looking for a modestly priced GC version as I love the GC controller. There is a German version on eBay for ~€70, seems in good condition so could be worth a shot.

    Joy-Con Pair The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Edition are available to pre-order at Smyths for €85. It's not a bargain, especially when they're €9 more expensive than on their UK site. But, I know a lot of people have been clamouring to get them and they've been difficult to order. And some are of the opinion that these will be quite valuable in years to come.

    Cheers, €1 cheaper that what I ordered them for yesterday from Amazon Italy.

    Switch Lite is still available for €189.99 from Amazon Spain as well, don't know how long this will stay at this price. Should save about €40 on Irish rrp after shipping costs are added.

    Not sure if they'll go down any further seeing as the current model should be shortly going oop due to Nvidia discontinuing production of the APU.

    They may discontinue it but not without making however many Nintendo want, or keeping a number in production exclusively for them.

    Indeed, I'm sure Nintendo are stocking up on as many of the APUs they can before production ceases.

    Seen than this morning on Amazon. I'm seriously tempted, didn't want to say anything just yet. And I seen that someone posted it on HotUKDeals, which will twist my arm into buying it before it's gone.

    Power A wired Game Cube controller for Nintendo switch is down to £15.28 if you have Prime. Works out at £12.73 after the Vat comes off.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GXKCPJT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_H8ERF742PF9SMYQ9GCYW

    The Pikachu wireless version of the above controller is also reduced to £19.99 so works out at £16.66 for us. The only problem is it is not in stock until the 20th.

    How do the Bioshock Games run / look on Switch? I have a pc so I only really play Nintendo exclusives / platformers / colourful games on Switch.


    Often wonder what it would be like playing a dark, atmospheric FPS like Doom or Bioshock on it, at that price I may have to see for myself.

    Doom 3 is pretty solid.. and this is playing on a hand held mode only (Switch Lite)

    I've recently played both Bioshock and Bioshock 2 (Infinite just doesn't grab me, though I did get it on Switch)

    Both play very well. I had a few crashes on Bioshock, so make sure you manual save a bit more than normal, but loading times/graphics etc were perfect, and the controls were perfect. The first Bioshock hasn't aged, mechanically, compared to Bioshock 2, but from a performance point of view, you'll have no worries with any of the trilogy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,195 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Not sure how they look am interested in how they play in handheld mode myself I liked Bioshock Infinite on PS3 as it was a different game in the sky rather than underwater.

    I'm gonna wait until Thursday to buy 1 and 2 as I want to see if there is anything else but I am buying Infinite later today will update how it plays after I have given it a good chance.
