Also, The Game Collection are back with that £5 Rewards Points offer on all pre-orders. The points don't get added until your item has shipped though, and it's immediate payment nowadays. The code 5POOKY gets you 5% off any order this weekend too, including those pre-orders:

Good spot, and I've used the 5POOKY on Star Ocean which just adds to the Square Enix JRPG's for me to play.

Thanks Cappa! I've used that preorder code (despite the drama with Platinum Games and the voice actress).

Two Point Campus is down to £24.99 at Argos, on Switch as well as the other diddy consoles:

There's double Gold Points available on all eShop purchases for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, affording you 10% of the cost of your purchases back in digital credit.

Using CDKeys I think you can get some pretty decent deals. For example Inertial Drift costs £16.99 on the eShop right now, and that would give you 169 Gold Points. It's £3.59 on CDKeys though, and you'd still get those 169 Gold Points by using the CDKeys download code on the eShop:

Same thing with Trailblazers - £24.99 on eShop, £2.79 on CDKeys, still get 249 Gold Points, so effectively 30p:

My favourite one is that you can actually make money by buying 88 Heroes - 98 Heroes Edition, costing £2.69 but giving you 299 Gold Points:

Hope that post makes sense! Inertial Drift and Trailblazers come recommended, I enjoyed them both.

That was gonna be my question - are these actually games worth getting.

It's for all didn't know that, as Nintendo's advertisement for it, makes it seem just for Nintendo games and select one's like Pokemon which has a 2x Gold logo.

It also it seemed to even work when I redeemed the gold pts off my cartridge copy of Bayo 3 the other day as well.

Inertial Drift is neat, an absolute steal at essentially £1.90.

The arcade version of Final Fight is free right now on the eShop:

Argos have got the best deal on an OLED bundle that I can remember seeing - you can get the console and a free copy of either Mario Kart Home Circuit or Skyward Sword, and then pay an extra twenty quid to get any of Splatoon 3, Mario Football, Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Party or Animal Crossing:

The physical version of Advent Calendar is down to £4.99 with free delivery at Currys:

Argos have dropped the price of several first-party Nintendo games to £29.99, such as Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, New Pokemon Snap and Mario Strikers: Battle League:

Amazon have price-matched most of them too.

Metroid Prime Remastered for £29.85 at The Game Collection:

https://www.thegamecollection.net/metroid-prime-remastered-switch

Until 28th February all of The Game Collection's pre-orders gift you £5 in rewards points.

It's where I'm getting Kirby for £37 as got a £5 voucher with Forspoken, now get £5 from Kirby that I'll likely use on BayOrigins.

I did pick up the 79p eBaseball game, bit of fun though is pretty much a online only game.

Whilst finding that I found Republique for 82p, it's not on offer or anything It's just 82p. Went looking if that on PSN, it no longer shows up on PSN and doesn't look like you can buy on STEAM anymore plus looked like it was £12. Must be a reason for all this, just hey a 70ish rated game for 82p isn't bad.

Use the code AW20 to get Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp for just £31.99 with free delivery:

They've also got Gotham Knights for £9.99 on PS5 or XSX.

Argos have LiS True Colours for £8 on Switch https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1340855?clickSR=slp:term:life%20is%20strange:1:78:1

Bargain when you see Xbox version is £28

I'm surprised how long True Colours has been that discounted on Switch at Argos. It's a cracking price for the game but unfortunately it's not in stock even for delivery where I live.

Hotshot Racing is £2 something on the eshop. Got it yesterday. It plays just like Ridge Racer but with a Daytona USA aesthetic so I've been enjoying it a lot.

There are also a bethesda sale on the eshop atm. Wolftsein New Order 2 for about a £5, Doom for about £8 and Doom Eternal for about £11. I already have gamepass and access to these games on Xbox but would have been tempted by these.

GAME are selling Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope for £24.99, and that's including the Gold Edition with the full game and season pass. There's no stock online but it can be reserved in your local shop if they've got any copies.

Splatoon 2, 51 Worldwide Games and 1-2 Switch have all been added to Argos's '2 for £20' promo:

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7476046/specialoffers/E39151

Smyths have got both Bayonetta 3 and Origins at £20 each. Out of stock online but I managed to pick up both in my local.

https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/search/?text=Bayonetta

I've been looking out for somewhere to price-match Bayonetta Origins, but with no joy yet. Bayonetta 3 has dipped to around £20 a couple of times now, I guess it just didn't do well. I think the critical reaction didn't match up with the players' responses either, but all the same it's worth that.

I'm drawing attention again to The Game Collection's £10 Extra Reward Points offer. As well as including current Switch games such as Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing New Horizons and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, it also features pre-orders like Super Mario Wonder, Super Mario RPG, FC 24 and the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection:

https://www.thegamecollection.net/extra-reward-points

Points are awarded on dispatch however, and payment for pre-orders is taken straight away.

Bayo 3 at £20 is a bargain, one of my favourite Switch games.

The Game Collection deal is decent but as you say the taking money right away puts me off pre-ordering a game coming out in November for instance.

Have taken a punt on Immortals of Aveum though as out Aug 22nd when I'm off for a week and not a lot else coming out till Sep 6th, plus get £12.50 back in points.

Which those points would be nearly enough to get Everybody 12Switch as Game Collection have it for £15.
