Save Up To 50% On Games And DLC In Switch eShop Hyper Max Sale (North America)

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for $42 is a steal

Oef yes, i got xenoblade for two months now what a great game that is. Love it.

Unless this is the big summer sale,last year was much better. Most of the games price don't even matches previous low.

@JokerCK I feel like as time has gone on sales get lower and lower % off. It feels like folks are buying games regardless, so sales are not as steep.

Got myself Metroid Dread, looks pretty fun and anxiety-inducing!

$41.99 is a bit much for the Age of Calamity DLC last I checked lol

Figures, been watching for Age of Calamity DLC, Live A Live, and 13 Sentinels to go on sale and they all do at the same time when I have other games to buy this month.

Ended up picking up Live A Live, might get AoC later in the month, I dunno. Probably wait on 13 Sentinels.

Tempting but my backlog is already massive lol

I'm going to get a lot on this one. Finally grabbing Deadly Premonition 2, Xenoblade and the second No More Heroes - maybe some smaller titles to even out a 100 bucks.

@Bobb Only the package is discounted, getting DLC standalone doesn't have a discount on Nintendo's page.

If you haven't picked up portal yet, do yourself a favor. Portal 2 is an outstanding game. Unfortunately, I probably won't get anything here as I have plenty of games I need to finish. Some great deals though! I really want to get into xenoblade

Really would’ve liked to see the dlc for Sparks of Hope get discounted. I already own the physical copy of the game I’ve been holding off on the dlc hoping to get it at a reduced price…

Anybody know if the Skyrim anniversary upgrade is worth getting?

Keep in mind, Target is doing their B2G1 Free sale (33% off) as well so you may want to check the prices there first.

Everyone buy Xenoblade now

Nothing there for me.

Did get a few chuckles from these "sale" prices compared to other systems though.

@Axecon digital though so meh

I’ve had my eyes on Dreamlight Valley for a while now, but I’m timid to take the plunge do to the eventual f2p game it will become… has anybody been enjoying it? Is it worth the $22ish it’s on sale for now or should I just wait for it to be free?

I bit on the Capcom 2nd Arcade Colosseum: at US$20, it's the cheapest price to date. I felt it was worth it for a digital collection of all those arcade titles.

Also I picked up the DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance - it had been on my wishlist forever, waiting for a sale.

I was tempted to double-dip and get the digital for No Man's Sky, too. I'd play that game more often, but that I'm too lazy to get off the couch and swap in the cartridge. ^_^;;

i want to control myself since i have a pretty big backlog now but i've been wanting astral chain and live a live for a while.

I prefer buying important titles over "renting" them but Taiko no Tatsujin only has physical release with a drum that I already have, so it was meant to be.

I need the physical version of xenoblade three though, I need it physical, because I wish I got 2 physical.

Xenoblade 3+DLC, Three Houses+DLC and Astral Chain are some of the best purchases you can do.

@DAHstroy it’s great on current gen consoles but from what I’ve seen, it crashes a lot on Switch. I’d do some research before picking it up on Switch, personally.

Yes I'll take "more of the same ol, same ol" for 400 Alex.

@SteamEngenius Nintendo used to do heavy discounts as well when they were getting destroyed by the competition. The losers have to heavily discount to move product - the winners don't have to budge on price.

@Cashews well, Nintendo lost my money, they are hardly winning. As someone who has multiple platforms, Nintendo only really gets my money on first party offerings. I had to blow the dust off my switch to play the new zelda. The real loser is Nintendo fans, paying more (losing money) for worse versions of multiplatform games.

@Moistnado Nintendo is reading the story about you buying Zelda and wondering where they could have possibly gone wrong.

For whatever reason, as I'm looking at these offerings at those prices... yawnnn... I'm underwhelmed.

@Bobb

Only available as a whole package for the discount unfortunately. Nintendo should really, really apply sales for DLC alone sometimes. It shouldn't be as rare as it is currently

Fire Emblem: Three Houses DLC worth the extra cost or just stick with the Base Game?

@Cashews I'm sure that shareholders would prefer they were able to make 30% on the distribution of other developers work, like they could back in the day. The money is in creating platforms people use, not ones people blow dust off when the next Zelda comes out.

I am asking a sincere question. How fun is Xenoblade if you like purely action based combat? Jrpgs are not my thing, I've tried a bunch but never latched on. I didn't like KOTOR or any FF. I love Zelda and Kingdom Hearts. Where does Xenoblade fit in? Any insight is appreciated.

@NintendoJunkie Xenoblade is not like Zelda. I think if you don't like the newer action based FF you will not like it. It is definitively an action rpg not an action game. Ys is very similar too if you've played those.

@NintendoJunkie As a fan of the series, I also would sadly say it isn't likely to be your thing. It's closer to KOTOR than Kingdom Hearts, I'd say. It is not turn based and you can freely moved around but your characters auto-attack, with special-ability inputs from the player that recharge. Ultimately while timing and tactics are useful, strategic character improvement and the wide assortment of numerical statistics play a big role in determining the outcome of fights as well. Unless you think you feel up for giving that kind of game another shot, I'd guess Xenoblade games may not be your speed.

Bummer of a sale.

A decent chunk of my wishlist went on sale, most of which are not on this list of usual suspects^^ that we see time and time again. (Like a bunch of indie shmups and action games, for example.) For a year without E3, you’d think there was one going on with all the sales. Even though we technically don’t need E3, the summer sales that usually coincide with it are still a quite important revenue bump for the smaller publishers in the industry.

@whitemage thanks so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

@Poodlestargenerica thanks so much for the clarification! Appreciate you taking the time to respond.
