It seems that 30% is the most popular discount from the list about. Long way from the better sounding up to 80% off.
The link on Nintendo UK seems to be broke after page one, so can't see the other games.
Hellblade for me, missed it last time it went on sale and looks like no physical on the horizon. Maybe Sonic Mania, but does it include the DLC?
@zool Nintendo's UK site is always broken / slow on a Thursday.... in fact, it's always suffering with slow down.
@sikthvash thanks 👍
@zool No worries! Tis a pain, so I've just been slowly scrolling through the eShop on the Switch. The Touryst is on sale, which is great as I've been waiting for that ^_^
@sikthvash Yay, I want The Touryst too. Thanks 😀
@sikthvash Wait... it’s not running at 60FPS?! Delete, delete! 😜
Probably not downloading any new releases as I have my hands full at the moment but I've put Operencia: The Stolen Sun and Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche on my watch list. I'll download a few of the games on sale though like The Touryst and Cat Quest II.
I'll be getting totally reliable delivery service. That could good for a laugh.
No mention of Arcade Archives: The Tin Star in the list. Downloaded it for some preparation for the arrival of Sunset Riders.
Monster boy and the cursed Kingdom in the sale for me 55% off
Only 1 thing on my wish list that is on sale and it is only 30% off. Can hold off until next week to see what they add.
I went to the store to buy Bubble Bobble 4 Friends and Zombie Army Trilogy, physically. But, none of the stores I went to had them. So, then I started calling around instead, and everyplace that I called said that because of the pandemic, all of their shipments had been delayed. So, some stores said that they don't expect to receive their shipments of these games for at least another week or so. Some said they don't expect them until after April 20th. So, I'll wait until I can get those games physically, as I prefer physical copies over digital copies. But, I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime. So, I'll be ok.
Surley everyone loves shooting an undead army.
Whats up with snakeybus? Curious Expedition is VERY good.
@Splutter
You made a wise decision. Monsterboy is a great game.
