@TheWokesterGamer it has been changed to "PC" now

@TheWokesterGamer i thought it's only Nintendo that don't disclose digital sales

@NintendoLife what's this supposed to mean at number 6

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition - PSC 63%

is it meant to say PC ?

@darylb24

Argos is now doing the Mario Kart bundle for £30 off at £399.99. They usually now copy Amazon, so the price is probably also there.

sorry (not sorry) to potentially burst your proverbial bubble. but that is actually completely backwards 🙅 all Amazon ever does is price-match other retailers. that is literally their business model. they call it Amazon "dynamic pricing". basically means they only offer better prices if other retailers do.

support the retailers who originate offers. Amazon is a retailer killer. literally

an example right here on this page is the "Switch 2 console £385 Amazon" offer. the only reason Amazon have offered that price is because EE offered it - https://ee.co.uk/products/nintendo-switch-2-console

yet another example right on this page is the "Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle £404.95 Amazon" offer. the only reason Amazon had that price is because TheGameCollection offered it - https://www.thegamecollection.net/products/nintendo-switch-2-mario-kart-world-bundle-switch-2 - but what you wouldn't get at Amazon that you would at TGC is £10 back in Reward Points to spend freely on anything else they sell 🤷 - Amazon is constantly price-matching TheGameCollection, it's easy to spot as all TGC prices end in 95p

Amazon has since price-matched Argos with the £399.99 offer

@Cakefish i got the same ! 👍

actually it has been beaten today by ShopTo on eBay = £349 using the discount code shown on the page https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177268976475

also TopCashBack has had 15% eBay cashback today only which allows use of the aforementioned eBay discount code. so that would make it an absolutely incredible effective price as long as it comes through (cashback is never guaranteed)

@NintendoLife @JimNorman if you want to display the percentage saving for this offer as a saving of 12%

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle + 12-month Nintendo Switch Online Membership + Yoshi Ornament - £429.99 (-12%), My Nintendo Store

then you need to adjust the percentage savings for the other Mario Kart World Bundle offers (to also account for the MKW Bundle saving over the cost of buying the solus console + separate game)

else that My Nintendo Store offer needs to be shown as a 5.7% saving:

£429.99 + £17.99 + £7.99 = £455.97

£429.99 ÷ £455.97 = 0.943

= 5.7% saving

#maths

@Broch83 can pre-order it for less than full price !!! 🥳 + free metal keychain from ShopTo.net / TheGameCollection.net / Hit.co.uk 🤩👍

possible 5% discount via a ShopTo referral link (mine: https://www.shopto.net/?stref=48411)

i believe Currys have the lowest pre-order price (10% discount at checkout) but no keychain sadly

Currys also have a good price on the PowerA themed S2 case £13.99 (£17.99 elsewhere)

@IronMan30 multiple Reddit posts saying Costco in US have Donkey Kong Bananza at $39.97 😀👍

VGP have a great price on Red Dead Redemption (Switch) - they assure me it is cartridge version 🤷 - CA$24.99

@IronMan30 @Lucius6 but there are ! Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle + Donkey Kong Bananza (physical) for £439.99 at Very is a saving of £56.99 over RRP 💪

Switch 2 console (solus) + Donkey Kong Bananza (physical) for £409 is a saving of £53.98 over RRP

Costco (membership required) has a crazy in-store offer on the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at £359.98 😮 saving £70 over RRP 🫢

@JimNorman @NintendoLife you can add: Nintendo Switch 2 Console (solus) + Pokémon Legends Z-A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (physical) = 405.99 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7624867/specialoffers/E46972 👍

this is all unnecessary if the old console was never updated to the Virtual Game Card system software.

when setting up a Switch 2 you simply select the option "i no longer have this console". then there are no problems.

@NintendoLife @JimNorman Switch 2 Console Mario Kart World Bundle - ShopTo price is £429.85

£379.99 is an unknown third party seller via a separate marketplace platform website

@NintendoLife @JimNorman

15th November: 4pm - 10pm PT (12am - 6am GMT / 7pm - 1am ET / 1am - 7am CET)

need to add "16th November" to the GMT & CET times, as it's the next day for those timezones

@kal_el_07241 Lego and Pokémon announced partnership back in March https://youtube.com/shorts/VZJpbY1ZAgY

@NintendoLife @JimNorman many of your UK console prices are wrong; Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle has been £409 / £409.99 from multiple retailers, for a number of weeks now.

£409: EE, John Lewis, AO, Currys, Amazon, Very.
£409.99: Smyths, Argos.

ℹ️ also: EE has had Switch 2 standalone at £385 / Switch 2 Pokemon Legends Z-A bundle at £415, for some time now.

€99,99 is crazy when they’re normally €79,99. Why do Euro countries have to pay €20 more total?

standard version is €89.99

@Serpenterror limited time release means exactly that. it isn't a question of price

Argos offer a "£5 off £40 spend" code if you sign up to their email marketing. you can find the offer on their homepage, just scroll down the page some way.

the original Switch version of the game is priced £41.99, so using a £5 off code makes it £36.99 💪

the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" version of the game is priced £51.99, so £46.99 using £5 off 💪

(Argos also offer a "£5 off your next app order of £50 or more", also displayed on their homepage)

free Click & Collect of course (delivery costs extra)

@OldGamer999 😁👍 yes ! 20% off RRP at launch is great !

@OldGamer999 TOTK for £37.99 at launch? are you sure?? perhaps you're confusing £47.99 for £37.99 ? 😁

@Trikeboy Amiibo were £10.99 originally 🙂

@JimmyFleck https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-2-Edition/Metroid-Prime-4-Beyond-Nintendo-Switch-2-Edition-2790001.html tap on "Upgrade pack"

@CaptChaos this is actually the 1st NS2E first-party game where the base game is standard price-tier (£49.99 RRP), which doesn't have additional "+DLC" content included with the Upgrade Pack (as seen with Mario Party Jamboree & Kirby Forgotten Land, which bumped their NS2E price up further).

both Zelda games are higher price-tier base games (£59.99 RRP).

yes it seems Mario Galaxy + Mario Galaxy 2 is a higher price-tier game (£58.99 RRP), but it is available from various retailers for ~£49.99 👍

@JimmyFleck yes it's no secret this is an original Switch game which also has a "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" release (original game + Upgrade Pack). and yes the Upgrade Pack is available to purchase separately.

but remember that NS2E cartridge games do also work in original Switch consoles. so you can buy the NS2E physical game and play it on S2 consoles & original Switch consoles [without S2 upgrades]

@CaptChaos Switch RRP is £49.99, Switch2 RRP is £58.99. physical NS2E games don't have a higher RRP than digital, like physical Switch2 exclusive games do

@Drew250 yes, the confusion comes because physical S2 exclusive games have a higher RRP than digital (+£8 in UK). but physical NS2E games don't have that.

@PinderSchloss

Friendly reminder that the first Amiibo were €12.99 each.
The 'inflation' gang can explain to me why my income didn't triple.

first, can you explain how €19.99 is triple €12.99 ?

the physical cartridge version has been a great price from Amazon US for a long time time now $24.88.

and it still works out pretty decent including international delivery, the total price delivered to the UK is currently £28.40 (that's including shipping & VAT) 👍

[only a "Code In A Box" version available in Europe]

physical version of Cyberpunk 2077 has been £44.95 for the past one week from TheGameCollection https://www.thegamecollection.net/products/cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-switch-2 free RM24 delivery (+£1 back in Reward Points for registered accounts). and Amazon price-matched them.

also available for £44.85 from Hit https://hit.co.uk/products/cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-nintendo-switch-2

@Bass_X0 it's actually £26.85 👍 (the slightly lower price is only if you're a "gold member"). but ShopTo is a great place to buy NSO membership. especially the higher priced memberships! 💪

NSO+EP Family membership is £59.99 Nintendo price, but it's around ~£45 from ShopTo 😮 that's a ~£15 saving! 🥳

actually, both the NSO+EP Individual membership & standard NSO Family membership are also ~25% less than Nintendo price 🤑

ShopTo have 2× listings for this game, the other listing is £10 cheaper £56.85 https://www.shopto.net/en/ndo10016437-kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-star-crossed-world-nintendo-switch-2-edition-upgrade-pack-p1186286/ what's more they currently have a 5% discount code displayed on the page making it £54

@Itsashame

Is it actually confirmed somewhere that it is indeed a full collection that doesn't require a Download?

no

Here (in the Netherlands) there are several webshops that have always had a box art picture listed without download required info, but it was still the same version as everywhere else.

exactly . . . everyone who shops online for Nintendo Switch games should know this . . .

anyone believing this to be true is absolutely crazy, i'm sorry to say (and no offence intended 🙏).

do you really believe Take2 would do this . . . ?

it obviously is a new 'Code In A Box' release, just as @premko1 said, and @ferryb001 mentioned.

please don't delude yourselves otherwise, people 🙏

what does becoming a "legal entity" actually mean ?

are other organisations like GDQ (Games Done Quick) a legal entity ?

"a huge boon" 🍿 Ed Boon 👍

@neil9000 hahaha 😂👍 brilliant. the definition of a pointless "rule" 🤣 it's wrong more than it's right 😖 by 21× 😆 for every 1 word where the rule is right, there are 21 words where the rule is wrong ! 🤯 what an absolute joke ! 🤦 there are 923 exceptions ! ! 😵

@montrayjak same ! 🥳 i missed out last time

@Medic_alert i assume they are fully functional in NSO GameCube Classics games ? (i don't even know if any of the current 4 games on there utilise analogue triggers? i don't recall Wind Waker using them)

@Medic_alert did the triggers have full analogue functionality before this new update ‽ 😮

@Alex79uk that sounds to me like Nintendo have made this new update mandatory . . .

@Jack_Goetz the Belkin case at £17.99 looks a good choice 👍 thanks

@Razzy please cite the specific sentence/paragraph of the law you are referring to, if it isn't in the section i quoted.

in the section i quoted, it gives no right to do what you say.

@sethfranum the fallacy doesn't even exist to begin with 🧐 there was never any right to reproduce a game and use that duplicate for the originals' intended purpose

@Razzy thank you for your reply 🙏 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=legissum:mi0016

Limitations of those exclusive rights (no need for prior authorisation from the rights-holder)

• A lawful acquirer of a program may reproduce, translate, adapt, arrange or alter the program, when it is necessary in order to use the program in accordance with its intended purpose.

can you explain how making a back-up copy is necessary for its use ?

in order to fit this law

@The_Nintend_Pedant 😂 haha 👋 hello again 😁👍 yes, upon reflection i decided to delete the comment 😊 all the best

@Jumping_Dead hate this argument. They absolutely lose sales. I should know because I've been using this exact site for 7+ years and have pirated hundreds of games. If I couldn't pirate them I would have had to buy them.

😮 ohmygoodness. are you for real ? 🤦

@The_Nintend_Pedant 😁👍

@jco83 I think it's covered under Directive 2009/24/EC of the European Parliament: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eudr/2009/24/body

"The making of a back-up copy by a person having a right to use the computer program may not be prevented by contract in so far as it is necessary for that use."

thankyou for your reply 👍

how is making a back-up of a game necessary for its use ?
