Reminder: Ubisoft's Switch Summer Blow Out Sale Ends Today (North America)

Tempted to try out Starlink at $14.99, since I've been having a Star Wars/Ace Combat hankering for the past month. If Nintendo doesn't reveal some games soon, I might pull the trigger on a few PS4 games like Ace Combat and Star Wars Squadrons.

I actually DON'T have Rayman Legends. I've always known deep down I'd play it one day when it went on sale. Luckily for me, its frequently on sale, so its not a problem.

I'm neck deep in playing Crystal Chronicals with some friends, so it might be a good pallet cleanser once that's all done

I do but never beat it.

@megallade same here dude.

@Ulysses it's fun if a tad repetitive.. Best looking Star Fox game for sure. If you prefer getting the toys (the ship looks awesome) it goes on sale for pretty cheap if not I recommend the deluxe digital version for extra ships++

Wow, another sale? Has it been two weeks already?

@Ulysses it's a fun game for just turning off your brain and blowing up stuff. Just make sure you get the definitive version if you want everything.

Also a good sale on the South Park DLC

@Ulysses I wouldn't be as kind as other comments. I really find Starlink to be utter crap with no inspiration, boring gameplay and the same 3 lines of dialogue repeated every time you interact with something or someone. And it is more FedEx than dogfight.

If you are craving dogfights, I suggest you use 3camel to track ace combat 7 prices on PS4. I got it for £12 on Amazon UK earlier this week.

@Ulysses starlink is good

A great price for Child of Light (I think I already have it).

Good on Ubisoft for giving deep discounts periodically!

I have the standard version of Child of Light on Wii U. What are the differences between it and the Ultimate Edition version that's on sale on the Switch?

I wish those were the prices on my eShop here in North America...

Gosh, I can't recommend Rayman Legends enough. It's easily my favorite 2D platformer of all-time, and the only other game besides Cuphead that I think perfectly nails the aesthetic of a hand-drawn cartoon. I'm a massive, massive fan.

Trials Rising is an amazing game! So fun and addictive.

@Ulysses don’t do it, it’s terrible
I paid £10 and regret even that

@Link41x what stops you from changing the region in your Nintendo account to US and buy these games? I regularly do this from Germany. With the exchange rate it's even cheaper for me

@Ulysses I’ve been playing Ace Combat on PS2 and it’s been great so far. Love the weird anime cutscenes.

Wow. Trials Rising is a steal.

Mario + Rabbids and Stick of Truth are calling my name.

@Ulysses to make things complicated, I like Starlink a lot actually

So you have multiple persons saying they like it, and multiple that don’t. But for 10 bucks, and if you’re into space fighting games, I’d say just do it

@Ulysses I have to agree with Rhaulos on Starlink, the game has good ideas but was just terribly executed. It's also super repetitive

If you don't already own Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Trials Rising, I highly recommend them.

@abbyhitter I played both and I think the only big difference was a sidequest that gives you an extra partymember.

@Ulysses Honestly, kinda boring, at least for me personally, and you can probably find a physical copy for even cheaper because it flopped so hard, especially on platforms outside of the Switch.

Guess it finally time to get rayman

Wanted trials because I had the last one I ps4 and thought it was good fun. The digital triggers killed that thought unfortunately. I remember having to rev constantly somewhere in the middle to win. Does anyone recommend stick of truth? Love the show but not sure if I should try it.

Also guys, if you don't already have it and have a xbox one or 360, get Rayman Origins, it's a great game at a excellent price right now for like 5 bucks.

@Ulysses I got Starlink for $10 with the Arwing and had low expectations. I was still disappointed. The first hour I thought "Wow this is going to be cool!" But then it got mind numbing repetitive and I eventually got rid of it because I couldn't force myself to play any longer.
Some people do like it though, so maybe you'll appreciate what I couldn't.

@Thwomp_Stomper Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole are both excellent. They’re fun and hilarious.

@HotGoomba Rayman Legends has basically every level from Origins remastered within it, except for Land of the Livid Dead, so I really can't give Origins a strong recommendation. Especially for anyone who might want to play Legends afterwards since they would have already technically seen half of the game.

I finally picked up Mario + Rabbids Gold Edition for my Mario 35th anniversary marathon.

How come games like Super Mario Odessy or the Zelda Games are never on sale. Come on. >_<

I really enjoyed Starlink, and both Mario & Rabbids as well as Rayman Legends are must buys....

Has there ever been a month where Ubisoft games were not on sale on any of the 3 consoles? Makes me never want to buy any of their games at full price.

@Not_Soos agreed. And the music is awesome too. Can't recommend this enough if u haven't played it. It is much better than NSMBU, imo.

@Thwomp_Stomper if you’re a fan of the show, you’ll love Stick of Truth. It’s essentially a 20 hour episode, fully written and voiced by Parker and Stone. It’s also a super sweet (like Terrence and Phillip) lite RPG that is satisfying to play and perfectly captures the feeling of interacting with the town and its residents. Honestly, no reason not to if you’re an existing fan

Children of light I wanted the physical eShop that's a pass.

I don’t have Rayman Legends. Tried the demo and it wasn’t for me. No game is a must-play for everyone.

@Thwomp_Stomper Did you try the analog stick throttle in Trials RIsing? I took to it surprisingly quickly.

@Not_Soos Oh I didn't know that, thank you for saving me $5 👍

Already have Rayman Legends and Mario+Rabbids, been playing that game again lately. Decided to give the game another chance and it's somewhat behaving this time when it comes to game-breaking glitches and crashes. Haven't gotten to the DLC part yet, though.

As for Legends, I've beaten it of course, haven't completed everything, though. Maybe one day, haven't played it in a while lately.

@Ulysses Don't buy Starlink especially if you plan to play split screen. Thank me later. (I kept the Starwing toy and sold the game asap)

@Robo-Knight 1st party games rarely (almost never) get discounted.

I feel like it is more news-worthy if Ubisoft doesn't has a sale for change.

5 yay / 6 nay

I'm getting it!
Wait, should I get this or Jet Lancer....... for the same price! >_<

@nessisonett
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Ace Combat 1 remake for Switch Pro?

@Ulysses Only get it on sale, it's not worth the full price at all, starlink that is.

Also, ubisoft has sales constantly so don't feel like you're missing out of you don't get this now.

I remember trying the demo for Rayman Legends on Switch and not liking it much for some reason. Are there performance issues?

@Ulysses yes get starlink

@Sourcecode Well if you liked it just as much as you like your son, hopefully that means it's pretty good.

Ha, that's funny. Maybe I need to put more time into it. It's not like Star Fox, which is what I sort of hoped.
If you were local (Germany) you could borrow my copy

Valiant Hearts is sooo good! 😔

@WoomyNNYes

True, but no analog triggers kinda hurts it for me.

However, the main reason I'm skipping Trials on Switch, no matter how cheap it gets, is that I don't want to destroy my Switch.

I use my Switch exclusively as a handheld, and the last thing I want is to be tempted to throw it, or squeeze it so hard I snap the joy-cons off the side. Though truth be told, its also why I just stopped playing Trials after Evolution.

I will no longer allow games to frustrate me to the point I go crazy. 🤪😆

@Not_Soos

Really? I didn't know that. I never went back to Legends after the game required me to literally rotate my WiiU game pad while playing those horrendously designed Murphy levels requiring the equally horrendous motion controls.

It left such a sour taste in my mouth, I dont even want to play my free copy on PS4, where motion controls aren't a concern.

Motion controls need to be an option from here on out, I refuse to buy a game that forces them.

I loved Rayman Legends!

Quite a few good purchases there.

I have everything on there bar ACIII (which I had on the Wii U) and one of the South Park games. Oh and not Starlink, may download the fraker (EDIT: Downloaded it!)

@Kang81 I thought it was cool how they made use of the game pad...

@Robo-Knight They do - but only once or twice a year, and never for more than a 33% discount.

It looks bad for Nintendo only because companies like Ubisoft and Capcom put there games on sale more than they leave them at the 'normal' price.

@Ulysses games where announced thursday. save your money

End today...but Ubisoft "Go to school sale" start tomorrow...followed by Ubisoft Autumn and Winter Sale...

@brunojenso I check eshop daily for items on sale...Ubisoft does sale more like every 3 months not just once or twice per year.

I finally bought the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC for Mario + Rabbids. It's half price at the moment (£5.99 in the UK).

@hakjie11 You mis-read my comment. Was replying to Robo-Knight and I was saying 'Nintendo' only does sales for major first-party titles about twice a year, whereas Ubisoft sales are very often.

@brunojenso Oops sorry, my apologies.

@sketchturner I just want an on rails shooter. If that's 6 hours so be it. They could just charge less like clubhouse 51 but I too was disappointed with starfox after the first hour

@rockodoodle

I honestly didn't play it long enough to find out what else they did. I just didn't like the few levels I played due to having to literally rotate my gamepad 180⁰ and play on occasion.
