The latest batch of My Nintendo game discounts in Europe has now gone live, offering the usual selection of 3DS and Wii U games at discounted prices.
This time we've got entries from the Mario and Zelda series, a double helping of Kid Icarus goodness, Kirby, and more. As always, you can take advantage of these discounts by simply using the required Gold or Platinum My Nintendo Points listed below. Here are all of the offers this week:
- [3DS] 30% off The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes: 120 Gold Points
- [3DS] 30% off BYE-BYE BOXBOY!: 50 Platinum Points
- [3DS] 30% off Kid Icarus: Uprising: 100 Gold Points
- [3DS] 50% off Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Virtual Console GB): 15 Gold Points

- [Wii U / New 3DS] 40% off Kirby's Dream Course (Virtual Console SNES): 30 Gold Points
- [Wii U] 30% off Bomberman 64 (Virtual Console N64): 30 Gold Points
There are no wallpapers or 3DS themes on offer this time around, but a double My Nintendo Gold Points offer is currently ongoing for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. If you buy the game digitally between now and 18th November, you'll earn double the usual amount of points - giving you £5 / €6 to spend on a future game. This offer stacks, too, meaning you can earn £10 / €12 by buying both versions.
Will you be taking advantage of any of these offers? Remember, your Gold Points can also be spent on Switch software directly from the eShop or a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, too!

Off topic, but I'd love a Box Boy compilation on Switch.
@JamesR Don't you guys ever get tired of port begging?
@Crono1973 nope
@Crono1973 Why do people hate ports? They don’t stop you from getting new games
Well, looks like I'll be finally getting Bomberman 64 soon. Just Orge Battle 64 and Harvest Moon 64 and thats all the N64 downloads acquired.
Now about about discounting some lovely Turbografx games Nintendo? :3
@Crono1973 Don't see why not. It would give the Boxboy series another chance at gaining new attention as well as possibly enough interest in a new game.
These are quite good
Paper Mario N64 always brings back good memories 😊
Paper Mario would be my only temptation, because getting the original is too expensive nowadays, but it's so going into a hipotetical N64 Mini...
@Crono1973 Can't wait to buy Bully for the 5th time! If, that comes to switch.
So where are these Switch rewards that still haven't appeared a year and a half later? Every month I have a shed load of coins expiring because there's nothing to spend them on. And the odd things that are worth it, I've already bought long, long ago.
Frustrating.
@SimplyCinnamon53 I hate port begging. Can anything be released or go on sale on the 3DS and/or Wii U without people begging for it on the Switch?
Article: There is a sale on 3DS and Wii U games.
Comments: I wish they would put this/these games on the Switch.
@Crono1973 not at all.
Man I wish Kid Icarus Uprising was ported to switch.
Even if I have it on 3ds.
Even if the online community is still so active there’s zero issue in finding a game.
I still want it on Switch.
The only game I don't have is Bomberman 64. Don't think I'll buy it though as it doesn't seem worth playing.
@Crono1973 I respect your opinion and would simply like to offer mine. I find “begging” to be a bit of a strong word. I think people are just seeing games they really like, and are saying it would be nice to have on their preferred platform. I know some people sold their Wii U/3DS and would like to be able to have the same games they had there, on their switch.
@SimplyCinnamon53 The definition of port begging: "Port-begging" is a term within the video game community that describes the act of requesting for a certain video game to be ported to another platform outside of the one it is currently available for.
I don't think I can leave a link here so I won't but you can google it. Think of Port Begging as a single term, not two separate words.
@TheFatPlumber From the looks of it, those 'Switch My Nintendo Rewards' were a sham and the 'get gold points for purchases that you can use on the eShop' took the place of that.
darn... could've been my chance to finally play paper mario but no virtual console.
I think Wii U is way beyond just 30% off at this stage.
@Crono1973 Ah yes, Urban Dictionary. The veritable Merriam Webster of "let's make things up".
There's nothing wrong with wanting a game on a platform. What is unfortunate, however, is people being rude about someone wanting a game on a platform. But you know that, I know that, everyone knows what's not nice and such. I'd like to see Fallout 3 or New Vegas on Switch, but expressing that doesn't mean I'm compelling someone to stop their daily routine in order to chastise me for "port-begging", which also brings nothing to the conversational point in the first place.
@HobbitGamer I didn't make it up though. Port begging is a common term and the port begging where the Switch is concerned has been ridiculous for a long time now. Can we talk about anything without someone port begging?
This board has become the Switch Only board because every other system can't be discussed without port begging every other post. Do you know what I do when I want to play a game that's on another system? I hook up the system and play it. I know it sounds hard but it really isn't.
How on Earth do people upset by (ahem) “port begging” make it through an average day? How difficult must existence be if that is something that troubles you?
@Crono1973 Nevermind.
@electrolite77 The same way you make it through the day letting people who are upset by port begging trouble you.
Waiting for switch rewards
I don’t really find ‘port begging’ any more obnoxious than ‘sequel begging’. If people want to see a game on a console, they’re welcome to say so. I’m not going to shut people down for saying “I’d like to see the Box Boy collection on Switch” any more than for saying “I’d like to see a new F-Zero game”. They’re both perfectly unobjectionable sentiments to make in a comment section.
@Crono1973 I don’t get annoyed by port beggars but on a related note, the Switch owners who actively advocate for the death of the 3DS so that Nintendo can “focus solely on Switch” really peel my onions
@Kid_Sickarus I'll bet they are the same people in many cases.
As opposed to many people, I want both new games and ports. I don't want one of them to disappear to make room for the other. Both should coexist and that's the way gamers can benefit the most. Why not have variety? Does variety bother you?
Begging? It's not like the guy was saying he'd slash his wrists if the game didn't come to Switch. Some people are so petty.
@Aozz101x : Hell yes! But only at retail and with the Wii motion controls (conventional controls should also be an option of course). I can't see how Bully could possibly be as much fun on other platforms without motion controls. What other game lets you administer wedgies via motion?
Having to beat off bullies with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk was also quite exhilerating. Short of VR capability, this is as immersive an open world game that the Wii had IMO.
Considering both the kid icarus games.. how's uprising to anyone who's played it? And is it worth the price? Secondly is the gameboy version even fun? I find some of the gameboy games a little boring at times even though I played alot of those games back in the day
@nintendobynature - I never played the Gameboy edition. Uprising however is a superb game. Probably the best storyline of any game ever. Let’s put it this way, I was so inspired by this game that I named my son after one of the characters.
Uprising’s control difficulties are there, but to be honest, once you get into the game, you do not notice - such is the storyline, you just want to keep playing.
@charlieonholiday wow I'll take your word for it! Sounds great so maybe ill cave in. Appreciate the response..
@nintendobynature - it’s my fourth most played game on my 3ds. I sunk a lot of hours into Uprising. I hope you enjoy it!
@charlieonholiday just realized this is for Europe only. Usually alot of the discounts carry over to NA so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it trickles over to America
Deals sound great but I'm hoping for 3DS Paper Mario Color Splash remake
