It seems odd the New Year sale is two weeks after the New Year.
Was Boxboy part of the European sale? I would have grabbed it if it was.
Killer Queen Black is such a good game. Real shame the servers always feel sparsely populated
Out of the games I've played on this list, I can wholeheartedly recommend Okami HD, Katamari Damacy Reroll, A Short Hike, and GRIS.
I'm getting terraria
Why do these deals never happen in America?
Oh wait...
@jump It wasn't, unfortunately. I've had it on my wish list since launch waiting for it to go on sale and it hasn't yet.
The Konami Anniversary Collections (Arcade Classics, Castlevania and Contra) are all 75% off. Never saw them that low before. I bought Castlevania and Contra.
Ah, I might get that Captain Toad dlc. Always great to see them discount dlc by itself.
I'm planning on getting both "Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon" games.
But I wanna know if the events of "Ritual of the Night" are relevant in the story of both games.
60% on GRIS?
Well, I just might...
Raiden V was on sale for 7.99 I think so I grabbed it. Aegis Defenders is also 4.99. Anybody played it? It's supposed to be good, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy the tower defense. It's pretty cheap though so it wouldn't be a big loss if I ended up not liking it.
I'm sorta interested in Yoshi's Crafted World, but I've also heard it's kind of boring.
i’ll just wait for 3d world
Anyone who hasn't played Cap Toad should def get it for that price - especially with SM3DW incoming as its essentially the same world. Feels just like a Mario game but more emphasis on puzzle solving rather than platforming (you can't jump after all)
Oh, I hope U.K. gets some of these discounts too. I have some Christmas vouchers I want to spend (insert fingers crossed emoji)
if you're reading this: buy katamari damacy reroll. you will NOTTTTT regret it.
Has anyone played the Captain Toad DLC? I'd like to know someone's impressions of it.
It's nice to see Clubhouse Games on sale.
@Giygas_95 - I like Aegis Defenders, but I got stuck. It's more like an active tower defense; you control a character and can attack incoming enemies along with the turrets you've created using collected resources.
@Gamer_Griff I played through it recently - its more of the same basically and that is no bad thing in my book. A minecart levels, a ghost house level, a cool pirate ship level reminiscent of DKC. Basically the length of one of the 3 books that make up the main game.
Wow. Nice to see first-party games on here. I need to get Kirby I guess
Augh! I'm already spent after the Christmas sale. Why is my wallet being punished?
So many Capcom discounts but no Resident Evil sadly 😔 Anyone know if Devil May Cry 1 or 3 include the gallery content from the HD collection?
Horizon Chase Turbo 75 percent! Highly recommended if you haven't already played it.
Absolutely stoked Boxboy is finally discounted. May finally scratch that nostalgia itch for Aladdin and Lion King at that discount.
@Broosh I’m not sure about gallery content off the top my head, but I wanna say no. However DMC3 has exclusive gameplay tweaks that make the switch version the ideal version imo. The ability to switch styles in game is huge.
@Dustopolis Awesome, appreciate the info! Downloading now.
@DjinnFighter Thanks for the heads up, time to get Contra!
I picked up Clubhouse Games last night.
Went ahead and got the Captain Toad DLC bundle from the sale!
@Gamer_Griff The thing about the Captain Toad DLC is that it has some brand new levels which are great, but it also has a bunch of remixed levels that I find a bit disappointing. I'd say it's worth getting for the new stuff alone, but it's a bit of a bummer that it's not all new content.
I recommend The Last Campfire. After reading reviews, still wasn't sure, but took the plunge when it was on a past sale. Slow paced environment puzzler (which I'm OK with) and a bit melancholy (usually not my thing), but I ended up enjoying and finishing it.
Been waiting ages for Clubhouse to go on sale. Finally can download it to play on the trips when that happens again
I'll probably get Sonic Mania, Horizon Chase Turbo, and A Short Hike
WOWWOWOWOOWOWOOWWOWOWOOW
I recommend:
Castlevania Anniversary Collection
Contra Anniversary Collection
Child of Light
Disgaea 5 Complete
Gris
Horizon Chase Turbo
INSIDE
Katamari Damancy Reroll
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Mark of the Ninja Remastered
Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch
Rayman Legends
SteamWorld Dig 2
SteamWorld Heist
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution
@Snatcher You said you were looking for Splatoon 2 sale. If you wanted to move on that.
Splatoon 2 physical
$45 at GameStop, Target, Walmart
I've never seen it below $40. So, it's up to you if want to hold out for $5. It's ok if you haven't made up your mind, though.
Games I'm interested in aren't big enough discounts & mamy of the indies end up on game pass anyways, so the 1st party games are my main interest. No way I'll pay that much for Yoshi, I'll get it used for $20 max from someone eventually, or rent it. I wanted a deal on paper mario, but by the time they offer it digitally i could get it used way cheaper. It's already been like $34 from gamefly a cpl times. Oh well. Too bad the fire emblem dlc never goes on sale.
These are good sales but look at gamestop on black friday, I got fire emblem three houses for around 25$ and other games I already have were on great sales too
Sonic Forces was on sale for $9.99 so i got it. It is actually a good deal for 9.99 dollars if you like sonic
