Ordered these last time they were on discount, but Nintendo of Europe ****ed it up somehow, telling me three weeks later I’d get a refund, and that if I still wanted them I’d have to order again (full price).
As others have pointed out, annoying that these games with a discount cost the same as the ordinary price on other consoles. I’d buy them on one of the others, but I’d prefer using one of my 8bitdo controlllers when playing them.
Yeah, that’s too much. I’m thinking of buying RetroTink 2x Pro, as it’s way cheaper and can be used for many different consoles. Hope you’ll review that one.
@RupeeClock It’s annoying that Capcom continues to ignore Europe. I’d buy this if it got a regular European release, but I’m not going to pay $70+ for an imported American version. I’ll might as well hold out for the 70% off on the eShop in two years time.
I used to have PS+, but it ended up being too expensive. I already buy the games I want to own, so the «free» games (that you have to keep paying for being able to play) isn’t a good deal to me. In that sense, Nintendo is clever with NSO.
Not a fan of companies releasing limited editons many months after the ordinary physical version was released (same goes for physical re-release of eShop games).
@kukabuksilaks Absolutely. I ordered the NES controllers for Switch through Nintendo of Europe. With shipping and import duty etc. I expect it to end up at around $110 (even with the Black Friday discount).
Never understand why people don’t like the borders on the PAL boxes. You get all the information (language, number of players etc.) framing the picture, keeping the art work nice and clean. But I guess the rumble pak logo covering Link’s face looks better...
@Hordak I’m no expert, but I ordered the Hori Real Arcade Pro V stick on sale recently, having heard good things about it. Still waiting for it to arrive. It’s rather expensive, though.

Re: Lots Of Mega Man Games Are Now On Sale On Nintendo Switch
As others have pointed out, annoying that these games with a discount cost the same as the ordinary price on other consoles. I’d buy them on one of the others, but I’d prefer using one of my 8bitdo controlllers when playing them.

Wow - I didn’t even know this was coming - sounds awesome!
Re: "Why Make It Mini?" NES Creator Says People Would Still Buy A Regular System Today
Absolutely. One thing I never understood is why they stop producing controllers for older systems.
Re: Listen, You Really Don't Need To Worry About Bayonetta 3, Says PlatinumGames
Guess the Kickstarter campaign is right around the corner, then.
Re: Analogue Is Retiring Its Amazing Nt Mini After One Final Production Run
Yeah, that’s too much. I’m thinking of buying RetroTink 2x Pro, as it’s way cheaper and can be used for many different consoles. Hope you’ll review that one.
Re: Review: SEGA AGES Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - A Fantastic Game, But Who Hasn't Played It By Now?
I’m hoping Sega eventually end up releasing a physical compilation of Sonic 1-3 Ages.
Re: Review: Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection - A Superb Selection Of Retro Classics
@RupeeClock Sure, but then there’s additional shipping costs, VAT and customs to where I live. That’s more than $40 alone.

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?
I used to have PS+, but it ended up being too expensive. I already buy the games I want to own, so the «free» games (that you have to keep paying for being able to play) isn’t a good deal to me. In that sense, Nintendo is clever with NSO.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Is Now Available At The Build-A-Bear Workshop
So that’s how they made the first design for the movie...
Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Library With Four More Games

Not a fan of companies releasing limited editons many months after the ordinary physical version was released (same goes for physical re-release of eShop games).
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 And Puyo Puyo 2 Are Both Coming To Switch On The Same Day
I’m just glad Sega keeps releasing games in the AGES line.
Re: Hamster Reveals Upcoming Lineup Of Arcade Archives Switch Games
@JSDude1 I’ll never understand why this hasn’t been done already. It’s not like the market is flooded by new TMNT games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
@antdickens Does this mean there are more discounts than those mentioned in this article?
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
Wow, that was a short list of discounts.
Re: The Wonderful 101 Remaster Gets Two New Kickstarter Stretch Goals
@Blizzia I get that it’s a win/win for Platinum, getting paid for the games in advance of producing them.
Re: The Wonderful 101 Remaster Gets Two New Kickstarter Stretch Goals
I find it strange that a developer as big as PlatinumGames need Kickstarter funds to release their games.
Re: Random: Brazilian Football Team Invokes The Spirit Of Pokémon To Welcome Veteran Japanese Player
That’s rather funny!
Re: EA Has More Planned For The Switch, But Is Still Conscious Of First-Party Dominance

Doubt it, as I’m not listening.
Re: Start Your Island Life With This Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch
This looks fantastic. May have to buy it if it comes to Europe.
Re: Premium Range Of Pac-Man Merchandise Arrives To Celebrate The Game’s 40th Anniversary
That’s cool. Now, release Arcade Archives Ms. Pac-Man on Switch.
Re: Poll: What To Expect From The Pokémon Direct - Post Your Pokémon Predictions
I’d throw in a remaster of one of the older games that have yet to get an upgrade.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fantastic game, loved every minute of it.
Re: Get Up To 50% Off Select Square Enix Games On Nintendo Switch This Christmas
If you could play the original DQ games (with original graphics) I would’ve bought them all.
Re: Huge Nintendo Switch Festive Sale Sees More Than 700 Games Discounted By Up To 80% (Europe)
A rather underwhelming sale for me.
Re: New Nintendo Website Shows Your 2019 Switch Gaming Stats (North America)
I’m still baffled that neither my PS4 or Switch can give me these numbers directly.

I had 8 SNES games.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Taking Legal Action Against Sword And Shield Leakers
Smoke the rats out.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th December (Europe)
Happy to see Frogger getting a (surprise?) release. Not the greatest game in history, but one of the better known games in the pre-NES days.
Hope Konami will release more of their arcade games.
Re: Gallery: Unboxing Metal Storm, The NES Hidden Gem That's Getting A Second Chance
Why not release it on the eShop?
Re: Nintendo 'Indie World' Presentation Announced For Tuesday 10th December
@Vepra Thanks for the advice! I’ll weather the storm and hope the rest of the world join my country in a 24-hour clock
Re: Review: Shovel Knight: King Of Cards - A Worthy Swan Song To A Legendary Platforming Series
@SmaggTheSmug Shovel Knight 64.
Re: Nintendo 'Indie World' Presentation Announced For Tuesday 10th December
@LavaTwilight Sure, but it would suffice to say (or, in written media, write) 18.
Re: Nintendo 'Indie World' Presentation Announced For Tuesday 10th December
@LavaTwilight Thanks! It sure is neat to use Latin when telling time - much easier than using a 24 hour clock, for instance.
Re: The Amazing Story Of How One Man's Fib Created A Nintendo Empire
@kukabuksilaks Absolutely. I ordered the NES controllers for Switch through Nintendo of Europe. With shipping and import duty etc. I expect it to end up at around $110 (even with the Black Friday discount).
Re: Nintendo 'Indie World' Presentation Announced For Tuesday 10th December
One of these days I’m going to learn the difference between AM and PM.
Re: Review: Shovel Knight: King Of Cards - A Worthy Swan Song To A Legendary Platforming Series
Great! Now time to start working on Super Shovel Knight!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #20 - Super Smash Bros.
Never understand why people don’t like the borders on the PAL boxes. You get all the information (language, number of players etc.) framing the picture, keeping the art work nice and clean. But I guess the rumble pak logo covering Link’s face looks better...
Re: Rumour: Unannounced Disney Action Game Remake In The Works For Switch
«The Capcom/Disney Classic Collection». One can dream (or wish upon a star).
Re: Get 50% Off The First Three Samurai Shodown Games On The Switch eShop
@Hordak I’m no expert, but I ordered the Hori Real Arcade Pro V stick on sale recently, having heard good things about it. Still waiting for it to arrive. It’s rather expensive, though.
Re: TwinBee Is Hamster's Latest Arcade Archives Release
Why not release some of the Konami/Hudson games that have not already been released on the Switch?
Re: Monster Boy Celebrates Its First Anniversary With A Half-Price Digital Sale
@Future777 That’s too bad, but thanks for the info! Guess I’ll buy it on the eShop now, then.
Re: Monster Boy Celebrates Its First Anniversary With A Half-Price Digital Sale
Was this game released physical in Europe (with PEGI on box), or just in North America?
Re: Civilisation VI's Latest Switch Update Appears To Have Broken The Game Completely
