Probably best to wait for Curry’s in the UK. They seem to be consistently cheapest for Nintendo first party games. Especially with the 25% off codes they offer on seemingly most Nintendo games now.
Nice I'll Take It On December 26.
I'll wait for Donkey Kong Country Returns 4K on the Switch 3.
Not too much in the way of US deals, which isn't surprising. Was contemplating if it was cheap enough, but standard $60 is waaay too much for it.
I’ll be getting this for my birthday, so I hope one of my family members finds a deal. Especially if it’s my wife since… I mean, that’s like me buying it but blindfolded!
Jnlgame.com has it for $49.99. I preordered from them many times and they ship out quickly.
I might buy it. First DK game I might play.
That is if it runs well that is.
@anoyonmus It's an uprezzed port of a Wii game, so it better run smoother than silk.
60 Euro is a disgusting price for what it is.
@anoyonmus If you've got NSO don't forget the Originals, all three are still platform perfection!
I had way more fun with the better 3ds controls. So maybe this is also a way better way to play (Grab a pro controller!)
Preordered it discounted (€50 if I recall correctly) from my usual retailer here in Italy, glad to see here deals for other regions for those interested in getting this - personally, there's no way I'd skip it as I haven't played Returns yet even though I eventually got it on 3DS (straight up missed it on Wii) and I'd rather play it on Switch at this point!
I owned this on the Wii & 3DS and Tropical Freeze on the WiiU. I love both games. BUT, I can't bring myself to double dip on either at the prices they're charging.
Good for those who never played them though. These games are platforming perfection IMO.
I still own the OG and 3DS version, nooooo thaaaaanks.
@NintendoLife over £5 cheaper elsewhere: game + themed cleaning cloth £36.79 using code DONKEY20 at currys.co.uk free delivery
