Always Europe that gets the sales, never Nort America Come on Nintendo!
@Rambler
This one is North America
Cheers!
All these sales back to back are testing my self-control. I'm already under a pile of indies just from spending around $60, with a few gifted retail games thrown on top to really bury me, so I feel like I need to dig myself out again before buying more. Not to mention I've hit the limit on my microSD, so until I feel like splurging on a 1TB one, I'll have to keep kicking games out of my storage.
I'll check the full list (or the wishlisted part if it, anyway) tomorrow alongside the assessment of how much I'll be able to allocate in the first place, but New Colossus certainly sounds like a priority item at its price, especially after I got my hands on PC New Order and Switch Youngblood. Layton's Mystery Journey and Dead Cells warrant consideration as well. That said, earlier discounts expiring in the same window remain in the competition - there's Citizens Unite (which barely seems to go on sale at all), Wonderful 101, Midnight Sanctuary, Catmaze, God Wars and a bunch more... and the first part of the month usually yields rather limited hobby funds at that. But as usual, time will tell.
How has Mariokart 8 Deluxe not gone on sale for the holidays??
@Rambler Why do I read this nonsense all the time?
these prices are mostly jokes. Retail is far cheaper
There are some real bangers in here.
I for one am swerving around these deals and driving my wallet right through the front gates of Chained Echoes. I’m itching for an RPG, but one where I’m not bogged down by random encounters. 👍
Mummy Demastered is 50% off also. First time I've seen it go on sale.
Is this the first time Ori and the Blind Forest has been discounted that heavily? For only $7.50 it might be worth double dipping in case I ever want to sell my physical copy.
I'm impressed you can sort them by price by clicking the top of the column. Maybe I'm late discovering that NL feature?
@nintendohhh its discounts seem rare indeed, but I recently picked it up on sale myself.
If any of y'all havent tried it yet, pick up cadence of hyrule! i really enjoyed my time with it and would highly recommend it.
Hollow knight for $5 is an insane value.
Decent sale. I already have Origami King, Link's Awakening, Persona, Fire Emblem Warriors, Celeste, and Nirvana Initiative and those are the only things in there I really care about so doesn't do a lot for me, but would recommend giving those (other than maybe Origami King, it's fine but it isn't great) a look for anyone on the fence about them.
Maybe I'll spring for the Castlevania collection, I dunno.
I bit on Tunic. I know 10% wasn’t the biggest cut, but I also had a $20 Amazon gift card balance, so it ended up costing $7. I should be able to live with myself.
Big fan of metroidvanias, so Bloodstained is hard to ignore at that price. Already played it to death on the Xbox a while back, but like I said, fan of the genre and that one was fun.
The only other in the sale I’m interested in was Dragon Quest Builders 2. Was hoping to play the first one first, but that isn’t on sale. 😋
Previously picked up a bunch of games during the mid-year post non-E3 end of June sale & the New Year Sale last year. This year not much that's on sale interests me of what I don't have already.
No rush for atm as I have ton still to get to from what I purchased before. Though I was hoping for more significant sales on Rogue Legacy 2, Tunic, Inscryption, Shin Chan, Omori, Bayonetta 1+2, Kirby & WarioWare.
... Wun can only hope.
Those slashes are more like paper cuts on a very badly beaten dead horse since these appear mostly to be same old same old and no new low prices.
Just picked up:
Also, in a separate sale, Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is 75% off for a couple more days. You get 7 NeoGeo games, the first 2 in the series in particular being among the very best NeoGeo games. It only goes on sale once per year, if you have even a passing interest in fighting games, don't miss it!
Highly recommend Paper Mario OK and Link's Awakening if you don't have them and you like the series. So much fun both of them!
And let's the Mario & Rabbids 2 sales begin! Still a bit expensive, they'll do better soon.
@Divide_and_Wander If you like metroidvanias, Ori at that price is a must have!
@the_beaver - Thank you for the recommendation! However, I’ve already bought both Ori games on the Switch a while back and beat them both. I agree that at the prices they are currently, it’d be hard not to recommend them! 🙂
I've been thinking about getting Tunic, but $3 off? I'll wait for a more substantial sale.
