Nintendo Switch Bargains Thread

Nothing for me on the sale, but I'm glad Rum's picked up Steamworld Quest.  I didn't love it but I really liked it, and barely anybody's said anything about it then or since.  Keen to read thoughts!

I think that applies to about 80% of the games you play and review on here?!

I had my eye on it because I've played all the other SteamWorld games and really liked them, so thought it was worth supporting them by buying this one too. Not sure when I'll get round to it though. Currently playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps (on your recommendation, actually, Balla) and enjoying it! But that's for another thread.

I wouldn't say that! For example, I didn't really like Ori 2. SWQ was noticeably better in my unpopular opinion.

Oh my god Balla you are impossible

lol wot m i like eh???

To clarify: I did like Ori 2, whereas I didn't its predecessor. I just didn't really like it. I'm trying to steer clear of numbers here...

Oxenfree is 89p, on the eShop.

Buy that. Right now.

The first Fitness Boxing is down to £18.99 at Argos just now:

That’s not a bad price at all – I felt it helped with my cardiovascular fitness when I was playing it a couple of years back.

Also, now that the Secret Santa has passed, I’m happy to tell everyone that Puyo Puyo Tertis 2 has been £13.99 at GAME and on Amazon for a couple of months now:

https://www.game.co.uk/en/puyo-puyo-tetris-2-2830914

Same price on all the diddy consoles too - your PS5, your PS4 and your XBox One.

I did look at a few times for PS5 because WOW! A physical PS5 game for £14, yet the Xbox version is a physical Series X game, yet I'm like meh the whole it's just Xbox now for the most part does lose something about getting games for the system.

Stoating Amazon deals on Metroid Dread, Mario Golf Super Rush, New Pokemon Snap – they’re all down to £30.00:

51 Worldwide Games is reduced to £20.00 as well:

Be warned that Mario Golf is boring as fuck solo and, despite what you may read on discord, no multiplayer sessions will happen.

Conversely, Dread and Snap are well worth it at that price, so at least there's two deals worth going for from that post.

I'm still waiting on Monster Hunter

Multiplayer sessions did happen! At least, I think they did? I know I got a few games with folk in when it was new.

Fair comment otherwise though – it was dry at dust on your own.

Nobody told me then :'(

It might have been that you had a session or two, which I saw as an encouraging sign and picked up the game, and then no more sessions happened.

Probably classic GNamer multiplayer shenanigans of not committing to a time so it just doesn't happen at all.

Cadence of Hyrule for £14.99 at Argos:

Monster Hunter Rise for £25, so is Bravely Default II might be others as well

Tesco have Metroid Dread for £20 but bigger then that ASDA have the Animal Crossing bundle Switch Lite for just £80.

That’s crazy. Is that in any Asda?

Guess so, I've had them look in the one I work in and don't have any of those bundles.

Currys again with Pokémon Legends for £35, think most of us have it but from what I've played could see Jas being a fan even if Legends is a JRPG and at that price worth a punt.

Legends is definitely one of those RPGs that could appeal to non-RPG fans. Like Beast Breaker.

Mario and Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games for £20 on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SKJBZXY?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=pepperugc03-21&ascsubtag=2305057086

Never seen it for any less than £35 before. Good deal!

I know the forum’s feeling about the company, but more Activision games are on sale at Argos. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is £24.99, the Spyro and Crash trilogy remakes are £19.99 apiece, and – best of all – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is at it’s all-time cheapest at £21.99:
