Apologies for dragging off-topic, but does this game require you to commit to long play times or can you dip in and out? Don't have the time for long plays

After the first 6 hours, you can dip in and out. I'd recommend playing long enough to get a good grasp of the character etc.

Anyway, on topic, any really good deals in the eShop sales (willing to emigrate to either Russia, South Africa, US, Japan, or Mexico ) - I can see the usual suspects but nothing major.

Hey folks,

I dont have a switch but I'm looking to get my nephew a game, was wondering can I digitally download it and "gift" it to him from the nintendo eshop? Looking at the 30% off for Breath of the Wild.

Is there a historical price site anywhere to see if the price of games on eStore are lowest ever?

I'd buy it on cart for him. At least that way he can trade it in against another game if he doesn't like it or when he's finished it.

There's a far bigger saving on the 128GB memory card as it's reduced by a little over £20.

Yep - that's how the switch won - play anywhere, anytime, anyone and also on the jacks!

You've got this 3 times ... is it really that good. How's it compared to BOTW.

Game does get great reviews from actual players on Amazon. Incredible achievement from the developers.

It only I had the time to put into it!

Perfect thanks!

Now I'm even more interested in Castevania and Contra Anniversary collections


Incidentally, I see "The Bridge" is €1.49 ... excellent little puzzler. I completed it on PS4 recently.

Just recently got a switch and loving breath of the wild at the moment. Can anyone recommend any standout deals on the sale. Kinda hoping to stay at the lower price range

BOTW DLC is discounted now. It's rarely discounted ... so you.might as well grab that. 14 quid instead of 20. Well worth it IMHO

Skyrim and Dark souls supposed to be good and at 30 and 24 quid ...

Mario odyssey is 42 quid ... But often best to get AAA Nintendo physical as you can sell on or swap later on if you don't like them or finish with then. Either way it's a fantastic game and not to be missed.

My young lad is getting a switch for Christmas, he's got his games picked so he's sorted.

I'm looking for a game for myself, I used to love all the Mario games but I last time I played a console it was a PS2 and the Medal of Honour series which I really enjoyed,
Anything similar for the switch? Preferably something I can drift in and out of cos I can't see myself playing for more than 35/40mins at a time.

Doom, Wolfenstein, Witcher 3. Don't know if any of the call of duty games were ported. Zelda breath of the wild is the best game on the system.

I'm similar. I tend to prefer the shorter arcadey games, or the ones that don't have long story arcs that you need to keep track of if you take a break for a week or so.

In this sense Mario Kart 8 is perfect for 10-15 minute lunch break gaming, or Mario Odyssey for the 35/40 minute segments as you can complete a mission or two in a sitting.

If you loved all the Mario games ....then Mario Maker 2 and Mario Odyssey are perfect ....easy to dip in and.out of.

TitianGerm

Luigi's Mansion is great. Well worth playing.

CiDeRmAn

If Call of Duty is/was your thing then get Wolfenstein.
But be sure to get Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as soon as possible, it's magnificent

RobbingBandit

Fire Emblem is good fun but you may end up spending more than 20 minutes once it grabs your attention.

RobbingBandit

Sniper Elite V2 is very close to Call of Duty WWII

Use your One4All in store to buy GameStop vouchers?

Slightly underwhelmed by the big Nintendo sale. Had hoped that Divinity 2 and Pillars of Eternity would go on sale.

Other than Thumper I'm not really bothered with anything on sale. 150 or something games but there is a lot of shovelware in that.

Do you happen to know if you part pay with vouchers online? As in, if something is above the value of the voucher can you can pay the remainder with card, paypal etc..?

I think you add you gift voucher at checkout and it deducts the value from the total.

Yeah nothing in my wishlist on sale, pretty disappointing, was hoping for a few quid off Atelier. Spent money on Ace Combat 7 Deluxe Edition on Xbox instead.

I picked up a couple of things in the sale on the Eshop, but happier with the €19.99 copies of Etrian Odyssey Nexus and Warioware for the 3DS from GS.

299sterling with agame seems the best offer around at the minute.

Do Nintendo usually do any decent Black Friday deals?

Hang in there for black friday , cyber monday with Amazon UK/France /Germany and see what you might get.

Also, it works out cheaper if parents use the switch too. You may end up losing your life to breath of the wild or Mario odyssey for a few months but it's time well spent

redzerdrog

She is definitely getting Mario odyssey :-)

Danmaku Unlimited is under 3 quid if you haven’t already got it, fantastic game. Also, Darius collections going on sale tomorrow (or 30 mins time I guess) - https://www.strictlylimitedgames.com/.

I got Danmaku, reminds me of the old ABA shooters, Noiz2 and rRootage.
The Darius collections look good, thanks for the tip!

Castlevania and Contra collections are kicking ass on my Switch Lite, particularly the Gameboy games in dot matrix mode just feel identical to what 10 year old me played. Both come with circa 12 or more games including the Jap variations plus a digital book of the history. Well worth it.

Diablo is down to £25 on Amazon.

Edit: it's €29 in Argos.

Pity it doesn't have Contra 4 on it, would be difficult to port it off the DS though due to it using both screens.

Really tempted by this. Have a switch but was interested in some of the 3DS games but a few of them I had my eye on are still a bit expensive at least as physical copies.

Wondering if this is the best price we'll see on these before the weeks out.

I got a preowned 3DS XL from Gamestop in the summer for €70 so might be worth checking in one or two of their shops?
